I am looking at getting some weighted tuning forks for various physical ailments (lower back pains, etc.) and for any other positive benefits.  Does anyone have any recommendations on what to start with?  A couple of OM ones?  A set of chakra forks?  I don't really want to put out too much until I have some experience and see if I like them or not, so I'd like to start with a basic set.  Any experience or suggestions on where to start?

Thanks!

I have only (possibly) had an OBE once, and it was in the morning a few weeks ago.  Since then no luck.  So I'm trying to stay as "ho-hum" about it as I can in the morning when I feel the light vibrations and just think...if it happens great...if not no biggie.  Anyhow...when the vibes are light, I am trying to keep my mind as clear as possible, not focus my eyes on anything behind my eyelids (or look for 3d-blackness or anything), and usually I can do a log roll or something in my mind pretty easily (but not pop out yet).  However, when the vibes start to build up, and I'm trying to stay as ho-hum as I can, my energy body or whatever seems to "lock up" and I can't mentally roll over or use any other exit techniques.  Then the vibes disappate and I'm back to the light vibes or no vibes.  Today I also noticed that it felt like my heart beat had picked up.  Could these be different vibes?  The vibes are not earth-shattering, but they seem to build up to a quick pressure in my head and I hear a pretty high-pitched noise briefly.  I do some light energy meditations and am somewhat familiar with those and realize they are probably separate things.

Also...do most people feel like they are about to fall back asleep when they OBE in the morning?  The one time I did this...I was definitely on the verge of drifting off when I just quickly and unexpectedly did an upward backflip out of my body and up near the ceiling and was able to see and think clearly.

Thanks for any insight anyone can give!

I've been working on OOBE/AP for several months but have not had a *definite* OOB yet.  I can get vibrations easily, can deeply relax easily, etc.  However I just came across this site last week and have found I'm probably generally doing "phasing" to a small extent (didn't know what that was called previously).  I can get to the "3d-Blackness" state on occasion but didn't understand what to do once there.

Anyhow...yesterday after waking up, I went back to bed and tried to "phase" using the Monroe gateway cd as Frank describes.  I didn't get very far, so decided to turn on my side and take a nap. 

I quickly had light vibrations, but didn't really try any exit technique this time.  I've tried the rope, log rolling, sitting up, and floating up but none worked previously.  However, I found myself spontaneously "flipping" up and out of my body, feet-over-head.  Wasn't expecting it at all...and especially not by flipping up!

I immediate realized I was OOB, was looking down, and floating sideways towards a wall and I remember thinking "I wonder if I'll float through the wall?"  However, next thing I knew I was lying on the floor of my bedroom.  Then my wife and a son walked in and I asked what was wrong and she told me he was sick and had to come home from school (this was not happening in real time however...he was still at school and she was downstairs).  She went to the bathroom and I thought I was woken up from my first OOB ever.  Then, I flipped up and out again, but landed back on the floor.  My wife came over and we interacted for about a minute, then she went back into the bathroom.  I then realized I was laying on my side...and started to wonder if this was even really happening or not, so I decided to try opening my eyes.  I was able to do so, and found myself back on my bed on my side and awake for real this time.

If this was just a dream, it was certainly the most vivid and real dream I have EVER had (although I've never achieved a lucid dream).  The feeling of coming out of body was pretty much exactly how I expected it to feel.  However, the situations with my wife/son obviously were not happening in real time.  Oh...after telling my son about it, I realized I never moved myself at all (I have read others that bumble around the first time out, or bonk their heads on celing, etc.  I never even thought to attempt to move or walk around.)

So...I'm wondering if I just had a vivid dream, had a lucid dream (although I didn't cause ANYTHING to happen on my own), or maybe I projected into my subconscious (Frank's Focus 2 I think?).  Or maybe it was a true OBE but in a different time?

In any case, I now feel like I know what the OBE feeling from the vibrations feel like, but was like to hear what some experienced travelers think occurred.

Thanks for your help!
