Has anyone ever had this happen to them? And what can I do to take advantage of it to get out of body?

This has happened to me 3 times this week. I will be in bed sleeping and I will all of a sudden wake up. I am aware of my physical body and it is motionless but I feel myself rolling or spinning. For instance this morning I was sleeping on my stomach, I was able to make myself turn over facing upwards without moving my physical body. I can also turn 360 degrees to face down again. It is really a strange feeling.

Hello,

Since Frank has left the Forum I have often looked to see if he has submitted a post. I will go to his profile and look at the number of his total posts. Since September the number has been 3127. Yesterday day I seen that the number has dropped to 3123. Has one of the moderator's deleted 4 posts or could of Frank did this?

I am at a real low point in my energy development.I started using NEW last November and I got extremely good results after only a couple of weeks of the exercises. Almost at all hours of the day I could feel the energy surging through me and around me. My energy centers were very active and were sensitive to sound. I could feel the slightest sound with my Chakra's. My awareness was so sharp and crisp and during meditation I could clear my mind very easily. At first I had a little success with the ROPE technique and could get into a pretty deep trance quickly. I used to get very heavy vibrations. They  were so hard it felt like I was holding a jack hammer.

About 4 months ago I began to notice that the energy wasn't there like it used to be. It kind of was a gradual decrease and now the energy is so low it is barely noticeable. I can raise energy but it is nothing like it used to be. I feel like the OLD me before I started using NEW. This really worries me because I feel for the first time like I am on the verge of giving up.

Has anyone gone through a similar dry spell and were you able to come out of it? If so what can I do to help get me back on track and to where I once was?

Hello all,

I want to describe an experience that I had a couple of nights ago. I am trying to figure out what exactly it might of been. I have experiences like this but I am always saying to myself, "No that wasn't an OBE. It has to be something else...maybe a lucid dream".

This is an excerpt from my journal.

I woke up in the middle of the night. I was lying on my stomach and I spontaneously started using the roll out method to induce an OBE. This is something that I have tried un-successfully in the past. My body felt like a shell and I was moving inside it. I was on my stomach with my head turned to the left. I turned clockwise and the rolled off the bed. As I was coming off the bed I started to go into a dive kinda like I was diving in a pool or something. I then got a vision that was cloudy and hard to make out. It was in the center of my mind.  I was clearly awake but my eyes were closed and I was seeing. I can remember them being closed and feeling my eyes moving behind my closed lids and still being able to see. It looked like I was seeing my room and was in black and white and was not a still picture.I tried to hold on to it as I looked around but it slowly faded. My eye lids opened and I was in my bed and it was 4:05 am.


I am not sure what to classify this. I'm thinking it could be a wake induce lucid dream. Does anyone have any opinions?

I have been trying phasing for a few weeks. I do the noticing exercise daily but I am confused about something. I read all of the time about LOOKING INWARDS. What exactly does that mean? It seems the more I read about Phasing the more I get confused.

Thanks,
Brad

This is this mornings entry in my dream journal. Please read and I would appreciate your thoughts..Thanks.

I was in a field just off of a road that is near where I grew up as a child. I seen some new construction. This is common in this area but someone(in the dream) who was with me told me that they were restaurants. It looked like a mall of some sort. This is real strange because most new construction going on here are houses. This area is in the country and has only one general store. When I visit there it feels like you are transported to a different time.   The person in the dream and I were saying how the people around here wont have to drive 30 miles to go to a nice restaurant. I then started walking down the road toward the construction site. It's a hard top country road and it must of been in the summer because the grass on each side was as tall as me. The day was a bright and sunny and I can remember that I walked on the side of the rod of the on coming traffic and cars were passing me. At this point of the dream there was some sort of pause. I may have woke up at this point but I'm not sure.  When the dream started again I was floating above a floor that was brownish orange. I immediately knew I was out of my body and felt I was having an astral projection. I realized I was in the restaurant that was being constructed. I saw a glass door leading to the outside and decided to go thru it. I passed right thru it without opening it up. I felt a tingling feeling and some resistance as my body went thru the glass. It felt so awesome. I then started to move away from the building but was having some trouble getting going. I had to use my mind to travel where I wanted to go. Of course I had that desire to fly so I just took off. Not real fast...about the speed of a traveling car. I was heading toward a small town that is located nearby. This was such a vivid experience. It felt more real than...real life. Everything was so bright and sparkled. As I passed thru the air there was a glittery effect. I can't really describe it. I seen that there was people coming out of the church so I came in for a landing and wanted to pass right thru a person. I was heading right towards a woman and I noticed another woman was looking straight at me. I thought, " She shouldn't't be able to see me" and then I woke up.


I am not sure how to describe this experience. It was the most vivid dream I ever had. My feeling is that this was a lucid dream.

I think this may have been discussed before. I did a search but I had a hard time find an answer to my question about allergies. I am allergic to allot of different things. I have just started getting allergy shots. None are food.. they are mostly pollen and dust mites. I just had an outbreak recently and it causes me to have problems concentrating. I have a difficult time meditating and find it even harder to do energy work. I am sure there are others that have this same problem and would like to hear from anyone who has any ideas how to work through the allergy episodes.

Last night during a dream I was laying on a bed and I had an OBE. This is the first time that I can recall that I have had a dream about an OBE. I think that this shows that my sub-conscious is getting saturated of idea of separating from my body. In the dream I was laying on the bed thinking that I would try and exit and it happened pretty fast an easy. I exited and floated up to the ceiling and then moved around the room. This is the only dream that I can ever remember that it felt like it was actually was happening. When I woke I had actually thought that I had an OBE. I really think it was a dream but is it possible that it might of been something else? Either way it was pretty cool.

I have been experimenting with several techniques with trying having an OBE. One of the things that I have been doing is trying different locations in the house. I have no results anywhere but in my bedroom in my bed. Today I laid down in two locations and felt no vibrations. Immediately I went to my bed and within just a few seconds my primary centers were buzzing along with the floating sensation. Soon after that came the vibrations. Although I didn't have an OBE I wonder why my bedroom seems to be the best place for me to make my attempts.

I haven't had any luck with the rope method so I have been experimenting with other methods and seeing what kind of sensations that I get. I was imagining that I was jumping up and down on a trampoline. This gave me the heaviest vibrations that I ever felt. It was like someone was shaking me. I usually get the slight humming feeling but this was so much more and of course it kind freaked me out. Well...more like a distraction and I lost concentration.

Because this topic of OBE and AP is a hard topic to speak with to some people I am wanting to find and make some new friends. Where are some good places to meet people who are opened minded to these ideas?

Hello All,

 I have been meditating and working with my chakra's for a little more than three months. I do this almost on a daily basis. It's hard for me to just meditate without my energy centers going crazy.  One thing that I have noticed is that most times when I sit or lie down to meditate I quickly feel a floating feeling. When I first started it took me quite awhile to get this feeling. I have also noticed that I can hold this much longer than before. At first it was maybe a couple of minutes..now it's about twenty. This feeling then turns to heavy vibrations but I still haven't been successful with having an obe. I have been taking an approach of practicing and looking within myself for all of the answers to be able to obe. I am using the rope technique and sometimes feel that its working but still nothing.  I am definitely not loosing my patience at all. I want to know if that even though I haven't had an obe should I keep continuing what I am doing even though it hasn't worked yet?

A couple of days ago I woke in the morning and I was raising energy through my body and I had something strange happen. My eyes were closed and I saw a grayish reflection of my face. An image then opened in my head. It was like a cartoon..of a cat dancing. Lasted only about ten seconds and then it vanished. I had another one today. My eyes were closed and I had a flash of a picture. It was very fast but it looked like something that was outdoors. Does anyone know what this might be? I read somewhere about somebody describing these same kind of things.

Has anyone heard of the amygdala? It is located in the frontal lobes of the brain. I have read that it can be "clicked forward" as they call it and it can
trigger a heightened sense of awareness and is helpful in triggering astral projection. In looking at pictures of where it is located in the brain I have noticed that it is in the same location of a secondary chakra or possibly the brow chakra.  It's kind of between the ears. If anyone has any info on this I would appreciate any comments.

Thanks,

Here is a link to one of the articles I have read.

I have been reading on how to have an OBE for about 1 month. I came across the Astral Dynamics website and decided to work on raising energy and opening my chackra's before I try to have an OBE. I feel I have made allot of progress in just a few short weeks. I feel like my body is raising energy constantly. I am humming all of the time. Today I went  to lay down and take a nap and my body just seemed to take over and it was only about 15 minutes all of the chakra's were humming. The vibrations were very strong and I made myself have the falling sensation. I kept it up for about 2 or 3 minutes and then instantly used the rope technique. It felt like I was slowly ripping my body apart. I was a little scared but also exhilerated......then the phone rang. I forgot to turn the ringer off and I slowly lost all concentration. I was so disappointed.

Since I am so new to this I would appreciate any comments. Please let me know if I am on the right track?

When I am raising energy and stimulating my Chakras I find that the Base Chakra and the one that is just below the navel is my most active. I actually get sexually turned on by it. I read that you shouldn't let this chakra become to active or it may cause developmental problems in others areas. Does anyone have any opinions on this?

I have only been using the NEW system for about a month and I have had some very fast results. I am able to raise energy easily and once I get it started started it's hard to stop. Even when I try I find myself automatically pulling the energy up. I get very strong pulsing sensations. Here lately during the times that I am not raising energy and doing charkra stimulation I have been getting the sensations. It kind of feels like my body is shaking when its not. Can someone tell me is this normal? It feels very strange. I appreciate you comments.

I have never had an AP but last night when I went to bed I relaxed my body and was raising energy. I have only learned and been practicing this for only about a month. My whole body was pulsing and I had a sensation that I was falling. The falling sensation only lasted about 30 seconds. Can anyone tell me if I am heading in the right direction for achieving an AP?

Does anyone know if anti depressants prohibit astral projecting? I am taking one that helps me sleep. I have not had an AP but have only been trying for only about a month. I have vibrations and sinking sensations but that is as far as I've been. The only time that I have tried to AP is after a few days of not taking the anti depressant. I appreciate any comments.
