Okay, I never really posted something about me on this forum, but here it goes. I'm a 17 years old male from Portugal, been studying Astral Projection and Out-Of-Body experience for 2 years.. Now the funny thing, I never got to astral project in all this time, or I think I did not.. But anyways, here I am, to request the help and the guidance of you all, to help me solve all my questions and problems..
So everytime I go to bed, that I don't feel mentally exhausted I try to project, and believe me, I've tried more than 100 times... Here is how it goes: I started by laying in my bed with nothing above me so I don't feel blanket pressure on my body, after that I start deep breathing and I try finding a suitable comfortable position so no pressure nor pain hits me while relaxed, when I can finally set myself I go trough a quick body "massaging and relaxation" exercise which I developed to suit myself.. When I feel all my body is ready, I focus on my mind, I start by asking for a higher being to help me project and to pull me out of my body so I can experience the wonderful astral world, after I go trough affirmations, where I constantly repeat them in my mind for several minutes.. I can induce a ligth trance ( maybe full? ) pretty quickly, so when all my mind is empty I can clearly notice myself entering "Focus 10".. I don't have the so called "vibrations" as strongly as I did before, now it's just a little ticklish feeling, nothing more.. Sometimes all my mind gets very heavy and dizzy, and I seem to be spinning inside it.. Anyways I know I am now in the state where I can project, now what hapens is I start by doing some energy bouncing exercises, followed by any technique that comes to mind, usually rope, quick movement or the lifting sensation.. Next thing I know I feel soft, relaxed and I don't know what to do.. No idea if I am out of body yet, or I am just in a full trance still in my body. I've tried everything to confirm it was a OBE and not just some another failed attempt.. I tried moving like if I was in the physical and I actually managed to do it, I felt my body heavy, and my legs were a bit messed up, with a weird feeling, I went around trying to know if it was an obe, I tried several things, but all just looked like if i was in the physical, then I sat on the room watching TV and when I finally saw it wasn't and obe I went to sleep.. Tryed to do the "clarity now" command and others, I basicaly tried everything.. Any advices?
Oh, here goes some questions that I don't pretty much see answered neither here nor in any book I've read so far..
1- Explain the feeling from the 1st second you leave your body till you open your eyes and know it is an obe..
2- My eyes ruin some of my attempts, I usually feel little hitches, my eyes moving, or them opening slowly and I can see part of my room.. Any advice in how to avoid this? I tried with a cover in front of my eyes, but then I had no idea if it would ruin my astral vision.
3- I usually have dogs barking far away from when I try astral projecting, is it normal for me to still hear them while in a trance? Or a trance state implies you hearing nothing in the background? I usually hear them all the time, even while in focus 10, but I have no idea if thats how it is supposed to be, also when I think I am projecting I still hear them... normal??
Hope I finally get to project. Thank for all those that will help in advance.
Best regards, Ruben Ribeiro.
