Hi Everyone,
This is my first post, although I have been visiting this forum for about a month and a half now. I haven't had an OBE yet, but I came across something related to what fallnangel77 said about falling asleep. I've found that counting down from fifty is a good way to get into that relaxed state without falling asleep. At some point you find that you are repeating numbers, or counting in the wrong order, or you can't remember where you are in the count. That triggers your brain to realize that you were falling asleep and it wakes you up a bit. However, this does take a certain amount of thought , which may in and of itself cause a projection to fail. Maybe experienced projectors could try it and report back.
One other thing (this is getting a little long!) How much are you supposed to be aware of your physical body. What I mean is, it sounds like you are a aware of something like your physical body when you have projected (since you can watch your hands melt and such things), but are you aware of your body as you project. I think I try to be, which is probably contributing to my failure. Also, do you leave instantaneously or is it a more gradual process.
Thanks,
ChopsB
