Sorry, this might be in the wrong location...

Something I'm confused about....do drugs help ground you, or is it the opposite? I think I heard once that eating food grounds you, is this right? What about ingesting drugs? Isn't kinda the same thing, I mean isn't there some kind of digestion or food energy absorbtion going on for some things? Okay, I'm probably wrong, lol. But then I've heard from people that drugs cloud your mind and hinder altering your state of consiousness. But...then I've heard that drugs like LSD and marijuana can help you alter your state of consciousness and do OBE's...it's all just very confusing and conflicting information, someone help make sense of this!! lol. Uggh. Is it a possibility that BOTH of these things happen, like some sort of weird duality/paradox acting as One?

Well, I still haven't progressed passed the baby steps in my willed OBE's. Like always, I have difficulty just moving around after I exit, but looking at the bright side ---> yesterday morning I willed myself to an OBE after like a year of not being able to.

I was having a dream, and slipped into lucidity. I then tried to OBE, but I couldn't make it out for some reason. Woke up right after, but I kept my eyes closed and stayed in my bed without moving. Soon after that I focused on my intent and willed myself to an OBE. I don't know how quite to explain this, but I "feel" my intent, it's like a feeling and emotion all in one, and when I focused on it and acted on it, I noticed it was really easy to get out of my body. Did that make any sense?

When I got out, I noticed I was floating above my bed. I wanted to fly up, and go outside my house. I was moving really slow though, and after a few seconds I could hear the birds chirping outside! I wanted to go faster, but then something wierd happened. It looked like I was moving faster, but I could tell I really wasn't. Don't know what that's all about...

Then, soon after this, I started getting a burning sensation of what I thought was the left side of my behind.......heh
It was getting hotter and hotter, to the point I couldn't concentrate due to the irritation it was causing. I tried to turn left, but I just couldn't do it, so I  decided to go back to my body.

After I got back, I tried to OBE again. Almost made it out too, but for some reason, instead of exiting, I was stuck in my body. Then I noticed the burning sensation again, but this time it was at the base of physical bodies spine. I also felt what was like a pulsating orb where the burning was. I focused on it and the pulsating burning sensation grew stronger. I mean, it was really horrid, it became burning and stinging. I moved my focus along the back of my spine all the way up to my neck, and noticed different points along the spine where the pulsating would go away, then as I moved further up, the pulsating orb would come back, and the whole time there was that pain, and the pain would get worse everytime I felt the pulsating orb sensation. Does anyone know what this is.......

Is there an easy method that could work for me, or should I just give up?

Except for a few wonderful "accidental" projections in the past, I find it very hard to project. I still have not advanced past the first few baby steps. And whenever I try, I just fail a lot. I find it very hard to stay focused and keep concentration. My mind wanders a lot randomly, and a lot of times, I even forget what I'm doing, and I can't stay still and tend to fidget. I been talking with someone who has ADHD, and I think I may have it, I experience the same things she does. I looked over a page that has symptoms of ADHD, and I have almost all of them on a daily basis (it doesnt say you have to have all the symptoms, but I have almost all of them). I think I finally found out why it's so hard for me whenever I try to project, and do other things in my life that come so easily for everyone else.

Hi, not really new here, posted some a while ago but mostly lurked. I can't log into my old name, don't know what happened, looks like the forums is different now. Oh well, I like my new name better now anyway.
