Hello everyone. Ive been attempting to project for many weeks now, and as far as I can tell Ive not been successful. Ive had many different sensations and feelings, but never have I consciously gotten out of my body...
Ive tried all sorts of techniques... Mostly at night because I have a rather incompatible schedule with such activities. Ive attempted meditation (and have become pretty adept at it.) Ive tried many exit techniques after reaching great relaxation, but to no avail. I get sensations as if Im being "inflated," "stretched outward," maybe even "pulled away from my body," but it doesnt last long.
I can sense vibrations at any time, even right now, just theyre rather weak because Im focusing on everything else with me being awake. Only once did I randomly wake up and feel the vibrations as if I was next to a freight train, or maybe on one of those massage chairs... I failed to project because I fell asleep within a minute or two. Ive only felt the intense vibrations this one time, most other times theyre fairly light.
Last night I tried getting up at 4am and moving to a different area. I didnt reach (and rarely do) sleep paralysis, or even numbness, but my awareness of most of my body was gone. Between 4 and 5, I felt the "pulling away" sensation 3 times, but they gradually got weaker after each subsequent failed attempt to get out of body. The very last time, I just thought I would try to sit up during the odd sensations because if I failed, I was just going to go back to sleep anyway... So once I felt the pull, I physically sat up (because when I envision it, I cant seem to get out.) After that, I just went back to bed.
Also during the first pull sensation last night, I felt like I couldnt breathe, but I was still breathing, and I began to salivate a lot... I tried very hard to ignore these, but I had to swallow, and after that I became aware of my breathing again, and the "pulling sensation" dissipated quickly.
Often when I attempt to meditate or get out of body, I have one huge hurdle. I get super itchy, and it seems to really be a problem only when Im attempting to OBE. during my day to day activities I rarely even notice getting itchy. My mouth also usually gets very dry, which also is a distraction.
Here are some of the techniques Ive used to either enter trances, to get out of body, to relax and whatever else.
1. Still Meditation (up to 2 hours)
2. Binaural beats
3. Waking without moving
4. Going to sleep while focusing (either on a physical noise such as a fan/breathing, inner ringing or on imagined imagery.)
5. Waking up early while drowsy and moving to another area
1. Climbing out with rope
2. Rolling out
3. Sitting up
4. Trap door on head
5. Imagining being somewhere nearby
Note: I have tried ALL of these and more while being totally relaxed (just let things happen,) and Ive also tried them while trying to force OBE (as in I feel as if I can move something inside me, but nothing actually physically moves. I just "push" my inner feelings?)
I am very eager to experience the astral, or even just to get out of body... I realize there are tons of different threads tailored to each person needing help, but thats just it. I need a one-on-one, a teacher(s) as it were.
Very much looking forward to getting out... My girlfriend has left a note on top of our refrigerator so that I can tell her what it says without physically seeing it... This isnt my main driving force, but it is a driving force nonetheless.
Thanks for any help before hand!
