Tonight's Entry in My Journal

Yes the breath awareness! That always brings viberations!

If you haven't already, you may want to download the OBE Journal and transfer all your OBE entries into it.  That way, you can also analyze them to see if certain conditions help you to project (like body position, phase of the moon, etc).

Just click the link in my signature.   Great post by the way.  I always like reading other people's experiences.

I just wrote the following in my personal journal, but seeing as how I can't sleep, and I'm just getting back into my daily energy working and meditations and such, I could use any feeback.

Tonight I had tension tamer extra AND sleepy time extra teas, along with my herbal sleeping pills. Of course, I still can't sleep for the life of me. What else is new? No sleep for me. I tried to project for about an hour, however, and it seemed as though conditions were perfect. I have no reason for to think so other than some nameless feeling I had.

I felt some great energy body movement sensations. All I really did was breath awareness along with some tactile imaging. I brushed my toes and my fingers a bit and focused on the sensations this created. When I started to get a little too intent on these, I'd use breath awareness to relax me a bit again. Then when I felt myself in a deeper trance than I usually get, I tried to switch back and for between phasing techniques and the classic rope technique. I switched from one to the other because I would find myself trying to hard and I knew it was time to switch or lose the state I was in. The phasing attempt was interesting. When I visualized a tunnel with a speck of ligh at the end, I couldn't get it to appear directly in front of me, in my sight line. It kept ending up above me, so my eyes had to strain up to see it (granted, my eyes were closed, but i couldn't really focus on the tunnel without looking up, for some reason). I feel like it would have worked if not for this. It was so strange, because no matter how hard or how many times I tried, it kept appearing up there. No amount of manipulation could get it in my direct sightlines.

Not as much to say about the rope technique. I could feel the rope with my awareness hands better than usual, but it didn't really cause any different sensations in me, and there wasn't a sudden stop of all sensations, either.

I also tried phasing to Astral Pulse Island, but it mostly just turned into a fun little visualization. No real phasing.

When I stopped, I noticed a pain in my forearms, neck, and shoulders. Actually, the pain in my neck is still there. In my left forearm, I instinctively want to say it is an energy block, because it was a different sort of pain. The others were probably just cramping due to tension. I also feel some pain in the small of my back, but that's nothing new. I feel like I'm definitely making new progress, small as it is.

Weird thing. Right as I came down here to write this, a high pitched moaning sort of noise started - soudning like it was right through my back door on my patio. I listened for a bit and then moved the curtain so I could look out - and a yellow cat ran from right on the other side of the glass out of sight. A few moments after I sat back down, it started again.

We have several strays, and this looked just like one of them, but he seemed bigger than usual. Almost twice the size. Probably just my eyes playing tricks. I've also heard a few dogs barcking and howling and sounding like something was making them scream themselves hoarse. It's odd. There are plenty of dog owners around (I live in the city of Philadelphia, for those of you who don't know), but I don't ever remember when the animals have been this active at this time of night.

(I don't know what significance this has, but it's a new moon, or nearly, isn't it?)

12:33am

I've gotten myself in the habit of writing down the time when I start and finish writing, I'm not sure why. So that's what the two times are.



Thanks for your time and any feedback,
