AP causing sickness?

[missym]

Well, when I first started practicing energy work and trying to induce an OBE, after my sessions I would be shaking all over and have a huge headache. That slowly stopped, so I assumed it was my energy body getting used to so much energy flowing through it.
Lately, when I lay down to try and induce an OBE, I become totally aware of my heart beating. I can feel every single beat throughout my entire body and through my ears. It thumps like a big drum, and I don't really mind it but felt the need to mention it because lately I've also become more emotional and distressed.
I find myself sad alot of the time, for no apparent reason.
And last night, while doing my usual before-sleep routine, I successfully (partially?) separated from the physical, but as I was moving my astral limbs around, trying to do the roll out technique, I felt a horrible horrible pain in my stomach near the solar plexus chakra. It felt like I had been drop kicked in the stomach, or like I just swallowed rat poison.. yuck. It was a horrible, aching, sickening pain.
I had no choice but to abort the attempt, and as soon as I stopped it went away. Why did this happen?

I've gotten headaches after an intense OBE. I think it has to do with your third eye opening. I have also experienced severe depression and sadness, if I am projecting all of the time. When you project, your adrenal gland can produce more melatonin. Ever kind of feel high immediately after returning to the physical? I read about this in one of my books, but can't remember which one it is. 

I'm not sure of your irregular heartbeats or the pain in your stomach.

There are a few ways to interpret this, but I would advise to have your heart checked by a doctor, just to make sure you're not having rhythm problems that may be causing some of your symptoms.
However, awareness of the heartbeat is a normal side effect of energy work, and heart chakra sensations are common especially when you first start to do this kind of practice.  I'm not exactly sure why this is, but I think when people start having conscious exit practice, the heart chakra is doing most of the work, and as you get more proficient, the third eye takes over, giving you less of those 'pounding' sensations.
The pain you describe may be physical, made more obvious by your trance- because everything is made more intense by being in trance- or simply the act of trying to forcefully eject yourself may have put some strain in your physical muscles, giving you pain and anchoring you to the physical.

If I discounted your heart sensation, I'd say you need to be more relaxed before the exit attempt- but please please have your heart checked to make sure you don't have a problem.

If the heart beating thing is very disruptive, I suggest you ask someone to listen to it while you do your thing, see if it's the physical heart that is intensifying.  More often than not, it's the heart chakra.  But the pain is not normal, something else may be going on.

Thanks for the replies 
The heart beating thing only happens when I'm extremely deep in trance, and stops as soon as I get up, so it probably is the heart chakra.. Guess it just takes some getting used to
I'll try using relaxation techniques before laying down trying to project, I think I was still stuck in the physical in my Solar plexus area.. I read about this in the book Astral Dynamics, wish I could recall what it said to do, but I gave the book away
