i'm new to the forum but have been reading different topics for a couple of weeks now... i only decided to register last night =) not long ago i was introduced by a friend to "astral projection" he gave me some links where i'd find myself reading and reading, fascinated i found myself being more drawn towards it. I'd consider myself a pretty spiritual person, i believe in existence of higher beings and "personally" think that all "RELIGIONS" teach the same thing.. there are many GODS, but i think there is only one TRUE CREATOR. it's funny to see what this world has turned into, and the corruption that we find ourselves in... PURITY is hard to find now days (or then again, i could be making an assumption).
Question:
while bringing myself to a complete calm & relaxed state of mind, my eyes are closed and my room is dark, my breathing has calmed from "normal" mode & to a more stable calm mode (i think the correct terms would be something like from DELTA - ALPHA ... something along those lines) i feel 'energy' flowing through my body, and let them come naturally. my mind and my body is now relaxed, i am only focused towards the pitch black... often i'd find myself thinking of very random things... but then i'd brush it off my thought conscience.
I do sometimes think to myself if these are created within my own imagination or they naturally surface while i'm in that state of mind.
after looking @ blackness and being completely comfortable ... i *Think* i fall asleep .... only to find myself waking up within a couple of hours... often recalling parts of my dreams... as i child growing up i had a lot of dreams, and later on having the 'now and then' dreams... but since i've been practicing trying to achieve a successful AP, i find myself dreaming a lot more (could this be lucid dreaming)
but the only problem is... waking up feeling although "wth just happened" i black out completely and wake up as if i was still in the process of "looking @ black" and feeling relaxed & energy vibes.
I don't feel like i've fallen asleep and woken up, because i don't feel groggy or tired when i wake up... when i wake up from these so called black outs I feel although i had never "blacked out" can anyone relate or have been in a similar situation?
i think for me to successfully come closer to an AP is for me to overcome this blackout part... although it feels pretty good to wake up "Instantly"sorry for the blabbing on, but some comments and feedback would be much appreciated. thank you
