Hi Everyone!
Nice to meet all of you. Like many I have been intrigued by the OBE/AP journey and have dived in head first into everything that has to do with said AP, for the last month or two. My goals for my AP are to seek guidance, go further in my spiritual journey, and maybe see some loved ones if they are willing. I feel like since I have learned about AP, it has given me a hope that I thought I have long lost. Anyways, that was a little about me.
On to my attempts. I have read and watched so many videos on AP, I am almost burnt out I think. Those is just how I tend to do things LOL. Head first, all in kind of gal. We are a work in progress. I have been meditating daily, but usually guided. So initially I started using the guided AP meditations from YouTube and I got to what felt like very close points. Then I started to think I should probably learn to meditate and get Into the trans state without that assistance and I feel like I have regressed? Any time I did get any kind of feelings my brain automatically would turn on and be like oh here we are! You're doing it! And then be like aww well you lost it. Or it would also be like okay now calm down, stay calm. So lots of self chatter in there which led me to start trying meditation without the guides. It seems I'm not getting very far without them. At most my body will get heavy. I will try to use the phasing method, the other method of "day dreaming", but I feel that I am most hyper vigilant. Side note I have been writing all my dreams down too! Have had 3 lucid dreams so far.
Another note, I have been trying to AP for a nap around 5pm. Or at bedtime. Neither work.
I have had one successful event, but I'm not even sure how it happened. I believe I was in a lucid dream state, then woke up in the physical. But I was in mind awake body asleep. I could not move my body, thought to myself "out of body now" and a voice in my bedroom laughed at me and said "just get out of your body". So I rolled out. I could not balance, I kept falling forward and I still had my cipap on my face lol. So I kept trying to get it off with my astral hands. I gave up, and went back to my body.
That being said, idk how I woke up in that state. Because I certainly didn't actively get there.
I am getting tired, because I am getting headaches from trying too hard as mentioned not to do. But I'm trying not to try? lol it's not working though.
Thank you all for all the information you have provided here! I have enjoyed it sooo much!!
