Almost one year ago I had the strangest experience of my life.  I was trying to contemplate reality on a solely intellectual level and then bam - all of a sudden I felt awake.  I have never before felt so alive and awake as I did at that time.  Breathing felt invigorating, I only needed a few hours of sleep per night and thought was effortless.  In fact thinking was so effortless that a week after the initial onset, I couldn't stop thinking.  As well, I could perceive intensely, energy from plants when I touched them.  I started to feel like I was living outside of my head, like I could anticipate what was going to happen next and I couldn't but help to draw comparisons between any and all events and see how everything was related.  When I observed people everyone had a distinctly washed out appearance in their eyes.  I started to have weird and ego-inflated thoughts and I knew they were that but it was a battle to keep them in check.  I felt like I was going insane.  I then could not sleep and had to resort to medication to quite my thoughts and sleep.  But it didn't seem right, so I quit the medication and tried to cope naturally. 

It took extreme effort to meditate and only focus on my breath for several days hours on hours on end - it was only after the fifth consecutive day of not sleeping that I finally did manage to sleep.  During my span of not sleeping, for several days my body felt lifeless and extremely hot, I have never felt so miserable in my entire life; any and all muscles that were tight (of which there were a lot) I could excruciatingly feel.  I also began having muscle twitches and wave-like sensations over my entire body.  But everything returned to normal from there on - sort of.  After what had happened I questioned absolutely everything about myself, from the way I act, from the position I take when I think I am right - everything.  But To date, nearly a year after, I still have muscle twitches and wave-like sensations throughout my body.  Not to the same intensity but it is still there.  Specifically, the twitches and sensations are more focused in the lower half of my body but there is still distinct sensations over the rest of my body as well.  Many muscles are still extremely night and nothing I do will release them.

My thoughts are that I may have imbalanced energy in my body - I am almost certain this is the case.  However, nothing I do will solve this.  Does anyone have any recommendations?  I was thinking about embarking upon a long water fast of 10-20 days as I heard this can balance energy.

Thanks for any responses.

I have read the FAQs for phasing; however, I would still like to clarify one thing if anyone knows the answer.  Is preferable to focus on the area between your brow while attempting to phase?  I ask this because focusing on this area is the only way for me to achieve the 3d blackness state accompanied by the heart-rush sensations.  Or, is it really just as simple as not focusing on anything but just being aware of everything that happens?  Thanks for any input.

Just thought I would share this link: http://www.kriyayogainfo.net/index.html

Available for download are 2 free e-books which disclose the techniques of Kriya Yoga.  The Kriya school of yoga, was brought to the West by Paramahansa Yogananda, as some forum members may already be familiar with.  Typically, people are required to be initiated into Kriya Yoga by a guru, whereupon the techniques would then be disclosed.  Now the information is being offered free from the bondage of tradition...

The title says it all.  I was just simply wondering if anyone knows whether staring at a candle flame can damage vision.  I tried googling it but I came up with hardly any results.  Any and all comments appreciated.

Thanks.

I suffer from scoliosis (abnormal spinal curvature) and while doing a google search on natural approaches to treating the disorder I came across "Quantum-Touch" healing.  Admittantly, I rather dislike the name as it comes across a bit new-age'ish to me and it could very well be a scam... 

The website is: http://www.quantumtouch.com/

Straight from the site, "the Quantum-Touch practitioner learns to focus and amplify life-force energy, which is most often referred to as "Chi" or "Prana". This is accomplished by combining various breathing and body awareness exercises. When the practitioner holds a high vibrational field of life-force energy around an affected area, through a process of resonance and entrainment, the client naturally matches the vibration of the practitioner, allowing one's own biological intelligence to do whatever healing it deems necessary."

Any opinions?  Thanks in advance.

Hello all, I was just wondering if anyone would like to share their techniques for meditation.  I try to focus on my breath but I haven't been too successful with that method, as my chest invariably starts to feel heavy and it becomes harder to breathe.  Anyone care to post their experiences?  Thanks.

Hello all, I am new to the forum and to astral projection.  Nonetheless, I have been dilligently practicing using a variety of techniques.  I have noticed however, that ever since I used some brainwave entrainment presets I get muscle tremors.  I even get them when I simply lay down on my bed and relax and they occur almost instantly.  They are predominantly in my legs but also occur in my arms, hands and even chest.  Has anyone else experienced this?
