Every time i get in trance state, i experiment pain on my arms, sometimes on the upper part of the forearms, and now on my shoulders, it's a pretty annoying pain that i have to suspend the meditation, after breaking the trance state in about 2 minutes or so the pain disappears, i meditate laying in the bed facing up, i don't think it's a pain of a bad posture. what could it be?

I have heard lot of people about you can practice clearing your mind while driving, i've been trying too, but after some time i begin to feel drowsy, hence i think it's not after all a pretty good idea to do that, i mean i don't know why do i feel drowsy (i have slept well)? am i entering to slight trance or something?, because it happens only in the car while i am just driving, but i have also tried to clear mind while walking and that doesn't happen (probably because i'm moving). any idea? thanks.

Ok, I've been trying to OBE for about 21 days, i do lying down on my bed, after relaxation i go through the breath awareness until, I think, I achieve some degree of trance, the problem comes when my left arm (yep always my left arm) begins to get heavier and I start to feel pain in my arm, it gets painful, i try to don't pay  too much attention on it but it really hurts, I try to do some arm work bouncing on it (NEW) to see if it stops but nothing, it stops until I move it for about 1 minute or so, i don't have problems to move it. I have been experimenting this many times but yesterday was more painful. I feel numbness in my legs and right arm too, but feels really stronger in my left arm, at the point that i cannot continue even if I want to.
What is it?

Sub-Navel and Navel Center?
Sub-Heart and Heart Center?
Are they the same thing?

Hi.
I have this question, I used to work long ago with NEW and worked on it for about 1 month I quit doing it that time. It's been 10 days since I started again. I've been doing energy work in my legs and arms, when I'm working on my feet toes I can feel the tingling sensation pretty quickly on both feet, but when it's time to work on my hands I can barely feel the tingling sensation but this problem used to happen even the last time I used NEW for 1 month, I just wonder why is it harder for me to work on my hands than feet? Does it mean that the hands are blocked? What should I do to fix this? Thx.

How would someone could get energy if that person doesn't have arms and legs?  how could that person raise the energy through his legs and arms if it doesn't have legs and arms? What would happen with the energy body if that's the case?
That person woudn't have those energy exchange ports (hands and foots) (main exchange ports i beleive)

You may have accidentally stimulated your genital center, which causes extreme arousal. In Astral Dynamics Robert says to bypass that center in order to continue the full body circuit. If you feel arousal you should stop stimulating that area and move on.

Sounds normal to me.
It's the result of having more energy in your body than you're used to. Once your body gets accustomed to energy work you'll sleep sounder but possibly for less time each night.

Take it as a sign that NEW is working. [8D]

Just swallow if you need to swallow and don't pay any more attention to it than that. Your body will do its thing no matter what so just don't worry.
Once you get into the initial stages of a trance most oof the bodily functions fade into the background.

Try keeping your tongue pressed gently against the top of your mouth.

It's somewhat of a visualization technique. You basically think about the place where you want to sponge, think about how it feels and how it's different now that you're focusing on it, and pretty much scan and push energy all through that area of your body just as you would run a sponge through it, if it were made completely of water.

I think of it differently though. I pretend there's a computer scanner close to the area, and as it scans that place it makes it warm and is permeating all the way through. Since it's just light, I can make it as small or large as I want instead of being limited with the concept of a sponge.

And lastly, welcome to "AP"! Hope you enjoy your stay.
