Yes, people, I've finally astral projected! (Feel free to disagree with my conclusions, if you think it was a mere dream or something.)
Anyhow, after two weeks of visualizing a place in my house and repeating "now I'm out-of-body," I've finally made it. Ironically, I didn't do the technique on the night this happened!
Okay, yesterday I was kind of tiered so I went to bed. I said 'now I'm out of body' three times, tried some breathing exercise for a few breaths, and tried to listen with my 'astral' ears a bit, connecting that with my third eye to make a triangle. (I think this triangle techinque can be found in the permanent topics forum.) Anyway, I did the trangle really quickly, and then went to sleep. (Actually, this is when I repeated 'now I'm out-of-body'three times.)
I found myself dreaming, and I guess I became bored and said 'now I'm out-of-body,' and I started feeling this 'inner motion'. Then, I found myself in my bed, eyes closed, but I think I could see stuff, but it was too dark, so I'm not sure. I felt my astral legs float above my physical legs, then I 'crawled' out of the rest of my body. I felt this 'pulling' motion as I got out from the rest of my body. At this point, I found myself on the floor, and I looked up at the bed, but couldn't really see it completely. It looked empty from what I saw of it (which wasn't much). Anyway, my vision wasn't that good, it was blurry and the room was dark. I said 'clarity now,' and to my surprise couldn't really hear my voice. Only a low sound came out. I started walking away from my body, and repeated my command for clarity. Now I could hear my voice better, and as I put my hand on the wood where the door was, I realized how solid this astral plane was. I was kind of surprised, it felt like I was in the physical. Then I went down the stairs and into my living room, which was a bit different than in the physical, and decided to go through a window/wall. I could feel the fabric of the curtains going through me, and a bit of resistance from the wall, but I got through it. I was in the backyard (again, a bit different than in the physical) and wondered if anyone could see me, since I was in my underwear! Then I kind of stopped paying attention to my body. Now, I found myself in a bookstore I usually go to. There were people in it and everything was vivid/clear.
Some things happened there, like me trying to fly (I just floated around a bit) and me trying to conjure up some famous person but then losing intrest. Then, as I was coming down from my floating session, I came down infront of this woman in her early twenties I think, she had longer brown hair, wavy at the ends. I told her I was astral projecting and she told me that was cool. Then I floated some more and met her again. She was talking about taking up astral projection in a month or so, I told her that she should buy/read Astral Dynamics by Robert Bruce (I haven't read this book yet!) and Adventures Beyond the Body by William Buhlman (I've actually read and have this one). Then both of us went to this section. We were kneeling to take a better look at the books on a lower shelf. I helped her by finding an art (I think) book she wanted. Then, I touched her thigh. It just happened, I wasn't planning on it! Then I walked away and said 'sorry about that,' and I think she said it was okay. As I turned to go, I immedietly found myself in my body, and opened my eyes. It was around 8:40am, and I felt totally relaxed and refreshed, even though I went to bed around 1:00am.
Interestinglly, I didn't feel any vibrations before coming out-of-body, just this feeling of being energized.
Well, if you've come this far in my post, feel free to share your opinions about my experience.
