I've gotten soooooooooo close!!!

I have one problem.  I have to wear headphones and listen to some kind of CD to get there.  It's either that or kill my bird.  I don't want to kill the bird.

I'm in trance rocking and rolling and vibrating and being tugged on constantly.  But my brain locks onto the idea that I can't get out   because I won't be able to hear the distracting sound of the CD.  Does the sound go with you when you start wandering around?  Or can my bird snap my astral body awake??

Help me understand what happens as you explore.  Please!

Hello All!

I've got a question.  I have synesthesia.  Here's a link for the curious.

Anyway - I thought I was normal till I discovered this.  After doing some reading my husband proposed that possibly this has helped me be more in tune to the mysteries of the mind - like ESP precognitive dreams and so forth.  So I was curious if any of you have it too and if you feel that it has helped you look deeper than "normal" people do or perceive things differently or better for that matter.

Any input would be appreciated!!

Thanks! - Senara

Hello All!!

I've been reading your posts for about a month now and no one else to my knowledge has asked about this so I guess I'll ask.  I've been meditating to a Holosync CD for a while now and have had some serious rocking and tugging sensations.  I've been told that this is a precursor to an OBE but I can't seem to "rock myself out" of my body.  Once the left side of my head was pushed on so hard that my tooth popped!  Can anyone give me a new idea to try?  Or even a hint?

Also- I've seen that a few other people have had eye problems like I do.  Here's a thing I've tried that seems to help.  I bought a little sleep mask.  I've been using it for a while and as long as my body is relaxed it helps for when my eyes just want to open a crack.  As long as the room is dark enough I've been able to maintain a trance state with my eyes open a small crack.  I figured it couldn't hurt since you don't really need your physical eyes during an OBE.

Thanks for any input!!

Did you not know that you had it Jen?  I only discovered it had a name about a year ago.  Before that I thought it was just a quirk of mine.  I don't have psychic abilities that I'm aware of but It definately helps me in my OBE attempts.  I've accomplished in one month what it's taken my husband almost a year to do.  Boy is he mad.  Do you think it helps you in that area as well?

Personally I love it.  I know now that that is why I have such a good memory.  It helps me all day everyday and I wouldn't give it up for anything.

It's not as intense as you may think Link.  I can read normally - when I read I just have trained myself to see the written word in black and white.  But when I take the word and put it in my mind's eye - then it takes on the color.  It's fun being special!  hehe

I get an intense pain in the middle finger of my left hand.  Feels like it's holding the weight of the world.  Don't know why there but if I do get pain it's always right there.

Hmmmmmm That sounds like the "oneness" was that it possibly?  Maybe "oneness" and the blending of the sensed are related?

Hooray!!  Someone else knows how I feel!  I have the same form as you do JJ the letters numbers words everything but that's it.  I don't see or taste sound or anything.  I only discovered that it has a name and other people have it as well about a year ago so I'm still pretty excited to share.

I was wondering if you have an unusual amout of de ja vu's or precognitive dreams JJ?  I go through cycles where I'll have de ja vu 2 times a day for a while and then it just stops for weeks or months even.  The same with the dreams.  Out of the blue I'll dream of someone and then hear from them the next day.  But they happen in spurts too.  My intuition and/or gut feelings, however, are usually right on the money.  Even before I knew there was a name for what my brain does.

Anyway I was just curious

So Tom?  You don't do the number thing anymore?  If you don't do you have any idea why it stopped or started in the first place?  I thought I was the only one with weird quirks![]  I also have a spelling fetish.  Sometimes i'll catch myself spelling every word that I think - how dumb is that?  Maybe I need a straight jacket!![]

Thanks for the input!!  I don't have Astral Dynamics, I've just skimmed a few online articles about it and of course reading the posts here.  I do have Buhlman's Secret of the Soul however.

I've had so much trouble quieting my brain while meditating so I have to  use a Holosync CD to distract me from thinking too much.  It really seems to help me.  My best success has been the rocking while I am fully awake and once I awoke right as my astral body was sitting up so it zoomed right back in.  So I know it works but I was hoping to accomplish the obe while fully aware using the rocking motion.

Once I received a wonderful scalp massage during a session.  Don't know why unless my crown chakra was going wild.

By the way the hypnogogic imagary is wonderful to behold while listening to the CD.

That's funny Patty!

When you mentioned thinking of dinner for the kids I remembered something.  Once while meditating to a holosync CD (at high volume I might add) I swore I heard what sounded like a coin rattling around in the dryer on the CD which I'd never heard before or since.  The utility room is quite a ways from my bedroom by the way.  When I got moving around I discovered there were 2 quarters rolling around in there.  My daughter had put the clothes in while I was meditating.  I didn't know about them behorehand!!  I found that odd but my husband thought it was dumb.  So I've been afraid to mention it.  Maybe only people who pick up after their familes imagine those things?

But sometimes visualizing instead of just thinking helps me to relax more because that - for some dumb reason it makes me feel more in control of my mind- makes my body seem less in control - while my brain focuses on the more important matters at hand without my body knowing about it as much.

Just some thoughts

Nice suggestion - that makes it much more pleasant!!  So - Nice Poem!!

I've found that I simply cannot turn off my mind while meditating and trying for an OBE.  This is what I do to distract myself from thinking too much.  I just imagine a flight of stairs and start climbing - the object is to climb out of my body.  Once while doing this I think I started to fall asleep and a little dark animal ran right in front of my next step and I jerked violently awake.  But another time while doing the same thing I did fall asleep and woke up to what I think was my astral body trying to sit up.  That sensation woke me up but not with a jerk - I was so excited that I couldn't get the feeling back though.  Let me know what you think?  I'm still new so forgive me if I'm off topic on this.
