Hi all,
I am having a strange experiance when trying to ap.
I have no problems laying still and getting into a state where I can still hear whats going on around me but my body is heavy and numb (I assume this is a deep enough trance state?)
Then when I use an exit method such as the Rope method, when it seems like something is happened and there is about to be a switch in conciousness. I get a sudden jolt, vibrations spread through my body and I end up being jolted awake.
Now, I am not afraid of astrally projecting, It's something I've wanted since I was 12 (10 years now!) and I have practiced on and off. I have no fears, no conerns, no worries. And I have learnt to just relax and let the thing take its course. But when it gets to this point I have no control. A
It happens when I start to enter a lucid dream too, like something or someone doesn't want it to happen?
Can anyone think of any reasons what this might be? And how I can try to stop this from happening. I think this is the only thing that is stopping me from AP?
Unless, Im not deep enough in trance? I don't know how being in Theta waves is supposed to feel. Are you supposed to hear sounds and still be partially aware of what is going on around you? Or am I simply not deep enough?
Having however read the sticky at the top, I am practicing at night before falling asleep? Perhaps if I do the sleep for 4 hours, stay up for an hour try again I will have success? This is what I plan to try tomorrow morning I just wanted to see if there was any other advice people might have?
Thank you very much
