Hi all, this is my first post and I appreciate anyone's input on this.
So, just quick background - I'm 20 years old and I am just starting to dabble in astral projection again, which I first got in to when I was maybe 14. Religiously every single night I'd do a little progressive relaxation and then I'd attempt to break through - but I could never do it. I got vibrations sometimes, after weeks and months of practice. BUT I was also really heavy into psychedelics and other drugs at that time in my life - from 15 to 18 my life was a total haze and I never connected my addictions to my astral block, I guess you could call it.
Anyway, I've been sober for quite some time; long enough, at least, to be clear minded. I've been meditating again in the past few months - at least once a day in one form or another. Tonight for the first time I went through the relaxation/projection method I used to (try to) use. In about twenty minutes my hands started vibrating in a familiar, nice way I'm sure most of you can relate to. Kind of pulsating kind of vibrating. It was present in my legs and feet too, but in my hands it kept getting stronger and stronger until it wasn't really a pulse any more, but it was an almost uncomfortable vibrating/pricking feeling and it progressed up my arms. My focus was broken because that strength of feeling was foreign to me despite all my previous attempts - even though I thought I had taught myself that there is nothing to be afraid of when breaking through, I just didn't know if that's what was happening. I thought my circulation might have been severely off-kilter it was such an intense feeling.
SO I stopped and sat up just sort of groggy and I stood up after a moment and I was so disoriented and kind of dizzy - my vision was not blurred but weird. The buzzing was still present in my hands.
Now I'm just kind of tired and puzzled about how intense my hand and arm vibrations were.
Any insight?
