Trouble repeating experience

[alt0xFF]

Geez welcome to the club. There are 3.5 people who don't have trouble recreating the experience.

The only thing you can do is concentrate on your relaxation and energy raising excercises and wait for the results to come.

Hello HH
I understand your frustrated, but this can also do a setback for your progress. Here are some points of advice you can use or not
1. I would change my attitude from saying : dammit i didnt make it this time -> i had an experience and it took me a bit further.
Even small things can seem like insignificant but i think that progress is very hard to measure and i therefore these small things can really make a diffence.
2. You say that you have tried it many times, is this in the same chair ? If so then maybe you should find the ideal place for you to relax in, like a bed.
3. Patience. When you are trying, try not to expect too much and just let it happen and have patience. I know it may seem like forever when you lie there []
4. It seems like you can relax and get in to a state of relaxation. Well thats good, so keep that up and try to keep your head clear of thoughts.
5. Its understandable to freak out as you mention, and it will pass as you gain experience with it. It is also this freaking out that can prevent progress, but its not that easy to just throw away. Fear will be there as long as its unknown.
Hope this helps, or am im just babbling

Hi all,

Would appreciate some advice:  I had an intense experience a few months ago after reading Astral Dynamics; I sat in a chair, got deeply relaxed & tried Rope which didn't work.  Then when I tried to feel like I was floating above my head & looking down at my body, I experienced these huge waves of "energy"?  surging through my entire body, from toes to forehead.  At the same time my heart started pounding like mad.  The closest description I can think of was like being electrocuted without feeling pain.  Pretty sure this was the vibrations, it was so intense I freaked out & it faded away after about 20 seconds as I started tensing up due to extreme fear & shock.

What is really frustrating is that I have been unable to experience this again despite trying probably 20-30 times.  Even recreating the exact conditions, same time of day etc, but nothing whatsoever.  I am almost at the point of giving up, although I am so desparate to repeat this that I'll almost certainly go on trying, for years if necessary.  I even went and bought Monroe's Gateway CDs but they haven't worked yet either.

Does anyone have any similar frustrating experiences or any advice?

Cheers
HH
