using pure focus to ie, focusing on breath takes a while to bring me to a theta state..

I read this article from, theta healing which gives a simple technique to enter a theta state quickly. It involves binging consciences through the crown Chara above the head.  Then connecting with the higher self, god head, etc.

Iv also seen Taoist practices which looked some what similar...if any one could recommend me to a book or website on the subject id be grateful.

Id be interested to hear if this is a practice with is regularly used by people, and if so how do you use it in your daily life. Also is it a good method for projecting? And what are the limitations / downsides of this kind of meditation.

If there are other ways people use to enter deep trances quickly id like to head them. Thanks! I'm going to keep experimenting with it... Happy projecting all...

For the last to days I've been raising a lot of energy using NEW of Chi-kung, I haven't projected in a long time and wasn't really intending to. However when I took a nap yesterday I started to see through my closed eyes little by little, and I began to notice that my movements did not correspond to my body. I tried to get out of body but I couldn't move, I could pull myself ever so slowly across the my floor but my vision did not change, only the feeling in my hands and feet as I pulled myself to the door of my room. I tried changing my gaze, but I could only see turn it as far to get a vary close up profile of my eye and nose.

Then when I tried to go to sleep last night I APed again. The same thing happened, but this time I could move a little (1 meter at most), but my vision was stuck at the angle my head was at when I went to sleep. This time a saw a mask rapidly changing faces in front my bed. I looked up the dream definition for mask; it seems to apply to my life. Could this be one of those things I need to resolve before I can AP normal again? Or is this quirky vision problem a normal problem for beginning projectors?

also when I AP my body is never laying in my bed where I expect it to be. is that normal?

On a side note: I tried flying, spinning, jumping propping myself up against a wall, trying to reason with my subconscious,  nothing seemed to work my vision was just skewed.

I have been doing NEW in the morning and it has been great! It gives me so much physical vitality, and puts me in best mood. The amount of physical/ mental energy I get is truly amazing. In the evening hours this has the effect of taking a cup of coffee before going to sleep, which makes sleep possible but not comfortable. However, NEW is not the culprit any meditation I do in the later hours of the evening have the potential of screwing up my sleep. I think this is due to the trance, which seems to increase energy flew in my body.  For example, if I do any sort of meditation I have to do something active and engaging, such as walking or talking to friends, for an hour or to before I actually try to do to bed.  However if I engage in any activity which continues the concentration of my mediation, I tend to have the following symptoms while sleeping: lucid dreams (often waking me in the middle of the night). My body also feels full of energy  all night and into the morning, making me toss and turn all night. I can suck the energy into my sub navel center, but a few hours later it will just be all over me again, causing me to wake up.  Some nights I get in this state of half wakeful and half sleep, where my mind just turns circles and trying to pursue random ideas which are never fully conceptualized. I become annoyed listening to my own thoughts all night, and id clear my mind my meditation but I think it would continues the cycle. I often have to get up and do something for an hour or so around 3-6AM just to bring my mind back to a normal state, that will allow sleep.

Does any one else have similar symptoms with NEW before bed?

Is there a way I could do energy work, and then make sure the energy stays where I put it all night?  Or a way of releasing my excess supply of energy so I can sleep at night?
So far I just abstain from NEW/Meditation in the evening, but another solution would be appreciated.

I was hoping that maybe if I just tried to weather the storm for a week or so my body would fix the problem , just as jet lag tends to fix it self after a few days. But I think Ill wait until school is out before depriving my self of sleep my week trail period.
