That clarifies things, thanks. Quite funny too, little things like these really make me realize how powerful the mind is.

Yesterday, I had woke up a bit early, naturally, and got up made my bed as it was uncomfortable. Went back in bed. I was slipping through those sleep-awake states a lot for a few minutes or so.

I did have a nice lucid dream though, flew around for a bit which is always fun. Anyways, as I was slipping between, I heard literally someone screaming next to my ear. It did not frighten me, I just thought I was about to have an OBE too, or some sort, however, I had a quick thought to try and move a bit of my finger. As I usually thought these types of hallucinations usually occurred during SP, but I could move my finger.

So, I am just wondering that can you have these (hypnagogic something?) while not in sleep paralysis? Because I know I wasn't dreaming and that scream sounded rather fun.

Oh yes, my goal as of now has just been to transit deeper into the states and as I indulge into more of these peculiar sensation I'll know when to actually change my aim to "the big thing".

However, as this thread is already posted I have another question that has been nagging me for quite a while. For a long time, whenever I look at something lets say the opposite wall, I will see the wall however I will also see these dots? Not sure of their colour but "something" that is there. The best way I can describe it is with this type of image.

Its like tiny star like pictures around the room. It is more of the Ringing in the Ear situation where when I pay more attention to this they became more observable. I don't think it has something to do with my eyesight as I have had eye sight tests done. I know the description was poor but I am hoping you have heard of this or know what this is.

Thanks

Bluefirephoenix,

Man I this will be hard to ignore but I can only imagine with the itches on the face. Best to keep at it

Thanks

Hey guys and thanks for reading,

So basically I have been practicing OBE lately and I progress through different sensations felt throughout my body, however this one just makes it really uncomfortable. My stomach starts to feel really weird, it makes feel like I want to scratch my stomach but I personally know it will do nothing as it is internal and not external. I only wrote "squirmish" because that is the best that only comes to my mind; it makes me uneasy.

I personally looked online to see if something was written about this and I found nothing except something about "Star Seeds".

I was wondering if some folks could help me out and tell me whats going. Is this just energy building up because my chakras are closed?

Thanks!

Thanks for the reply guys 

Yes , I too am against religions where people are often restricted to certain "ways", or even where they sacrifice animals. I believe we ARE higher than animals/trees, but we shouldn't abuse them or take them for advantage, although some animals values override some humans.
I guess religions are all correct, in a sense we all are worshiping God, although some religions rules may be unhealthy for others.

I guess it is best to show a true fair view for all religions, and decide what rules YOU yourself feel are right / wrong, and go on from that.

I was thinking of this for awhile. All cultures have religion and they all believe in their own ways. Some also believe in theirs being more "correct" than others. But is there one correct religion?

I personally feel higher you go there is no "correct" religion, and that if you want to move higher in your next life you are tested on your past action, and not on the religion of your choice. I also feel higher , there will be no "religion" just the goodie goods. 

Now I personally believe in god and also believe in my religion, but if I feel my religion is correct then it must make the other religions wrong for me? or vice-verse for other people. So this part doesn't make sense, how it can be that my religion is the only correct one, or your religion is the only correct one, and that if I don't pick the religion you picked then I have made a wrong choice that would affect my next life.

The reason I think of this is because I have heard people say that they read the Vedas and because it is one of the oldest scriptures, it makes it the right one. ( I am Hindu)

I do believe in religion, but that doesn't mean I don't believe in other peoples choices/religion. I feel that all these religions will be together right or all of them, together, will be wrong and not be some right or some wrong.

I was wondering what your guys thoughts are of religion and what do you guys feel on different religions other than your own.
Also I am sorry if this didn't make sense, it is really hard to explain what I am thinking! 

Thanks!

Thanks guys

Fwew - I have never heard of progressive relaxation-concentrate, thanks for suggesting it I guess as I do more research I will become familiar with more techniques.
Soarin - Well the video tells you do it half way through the meditation I guess, but I guess ill just stop it. I also noticed if kept my breathe steady then it generally eases down a bit. I like to do this because I feel when I do this my body becomes limp more quickly, or so it feels like that.
Contento - What you told me, not to focus on the head worked, wow. I focused anywhere but my head, like my stomach and I didn't feel much of the shakes.

I also want to ask what you guys think of Pranayama, its an excerise that helps the person concentrate and if you have guys do any of these?

Thanks anyway guys 

You guys have some nice songs! This song I listen to when I just want to 'relax'

Hello and thanks for reading

So I have been practicing astral projection and this has been bugging me for a while now. When I am attempting it I sometime listen to guided meditation videos, and in one of them the person says something like to "emanate love", so basically when do something like this and I can't really now what i do but I do that lol. My head will start to shake like a little bit but that little bit just puts me off course . Also sometimes my fingers or legs will be still as I am practicing and all of a sudden one of my fingers would just 'jerk' a little bit, do you guys know why that happens?

Also people often say that when attempting you should feel limp, and for me only my arms and legs feel limp, my head and chest doesn't seem to be affected, why? And just one more, how do you guys breathe when practicing? Do you let your shoulders move up and down or just your stomach?

Thank you guys 

All the more reason to practice this. Now as this is getting replied too, I was also wondering about practicing it in the early mornings. As the best time to try this is in the mornings, I feel after 6AM things start to get noisey around the house and what not since people start doing Yoga =P. So I was wondering when I should practice this? Is going to sleep at 10am and lets say waking up at 4AM good sleep rest to practice ? Also is 2 hours enough in each session in "practicing". Thanks

Wow it really is amazing how much you can seem to explore through projecting.

Well I have never astralled before, but the way people describe is that you can basically go anywhere you want. So i was wondering if people could use astral projection to see if the old folkore and other old old history events about religion and what not were true? For example seeing if the "kitsune" and other things were real.

So could you do that in the astral plane, and if so if anybody has done it? =S
Thanks guys =]

Desert_Rat - Thanks for the links! I will check them out, I am also pretty sure we will have some books of astral but mainly Yoga i guess. It was from one of the books it suggest to look at myself from a 3rd point, so for example if I am digging a ditch, I will look at the dig being ditch not I am digging the ditch. So it said to look as an uninterested person.

Xanth - Thanks for the answers ,it helped me. Now the weird feeling in my stomach, I focused on it last night and it kept getting heavier, it literlly got so heavy that it was hard for me to breathe, is this what its suppose to happen?

Thanks!

Hello and thanks for reading!

I am new to astral projection and never have traveled, so I just wondering someone could clarify some questions =S

What do you do to let go of your body, now I know this very simple but I what i am asking for is like , for example your body is all relaxed, do you need to force ( in your mind) to let go or do you just automatically start floating above?

So i have been trying to make myself relax so I could travel, and I have been getting this weird feeling around my naval area, first it used be around my naval and now its a little above the previous area and now it feels like a stone? So basically it feels heavy? I was wondering if someone could tell me what it is

Some people said that while I am lying down I should look at myself from a 3rd point of view or I should imagine myself in bright white light, when i do this I start to shark and get this weird feeling, Why do i start shaking?

Thanks for reading my post and hopefully I can understand these a bit more!
