Hi there people.
I'm pretty new to AP, well sort of. I've always had a strong empathic ability and I've had those calling gut feelings about consciousness since I can remember. However it wasn't until recently that I actually started to project.
I feel like I've been thrown into the deep end though. It's not hard for me to connect and when I do its like I see EVERYTHING...Sometimes in that state where everything glows a kind of golden-orangey colour. It feels amazing but it's so so vast, I just feel myself being dragged around rather than being in control of where I want to be. It's hard to explain...When I enter that state it's like my mind is on fire... but in a pleasant way.
Lately, I'm able to control it better. Instead of being flung around in an infinite ocean I try to hold back a little..Keeping a stronger link to my body.
HOWEVER, and this is the reason I'm posting...
I'm exhausted...physically and mentally...it's like being really hungover...or the day after an intense shroom trip (I don't do shrooms regularly, but they are awesome to explore your spirit, sorry if this violates any forum rule.) Most noticeable are the black circles around my now sore eyes and extreme back/neck/shoulder pain. Especially in between my shoulder blades in my spine.
Are my experiences normal? Is there a way to stop the pain? (since I originally posted this elsewhere, I've come to feel the pain in my back focus to one spot on my spine which has now started to ease and actually feels kind of good...like an energy point)
I'd like to hear more opinions from people with better experience than me
