Yeah, exactly why I don't use it lol.

I just placed an order online for 20 grams of calea zacatechichi though becuase I want to try using it again (drinking as a tea)

Well I don't anymore, but 2 years ago I used to smoke Calea zacatechichi (the mexican dream herb)
I never got OBE from using it, but I can say I have pretty vivid dream recall up to 5 dreams a night.

I also took Melatonin sleep aid pills I bought at CVS, but can't say it ever helped much

I had a string of OBE's for 3 days in a row and on the 4th a lucid dream. I thought it was so easy and had no doubt the next morning I would have another one. I havn't had one in like 4+ months now since those 3.

yeah I've projected many times on my stomach.

It's normal, nothing to be afraid of. Even though it might be the first few times.
Sometimes when I'm OBE i hear music play and it sounds beautiful. Or sometimes while exiting I've heard loud noise and people talking.

i wish i could have your "problem" lol. there are no limitations! go for whatever you can think of.

I have had that happen to me once or twice though where I've gotten stuck out before and it is kind of annoying.

i like to try and wake up around 5am and go back to sleep also, but i cannot do this everyday or else my body will get used to this and automatically wake up at 5am everyday which i don't want so that's why i don't do that everyday.

Take your time. I always start it and then end up dropping it and then I'll pick it back up later on.
Right now I'm doing okay with it I'm wave 1 discovery 3
I usually do each discovery 4 - 5 times before moving onto the next. I wish I could find more time to do it, but it's hard living at home with family

card tricks always been hard. I've tried it about 3 -4 times. The closest I came was I saw a red 7 of hearts, but in reality it was a red 7 of diamonds.

Very interesting, a little hard to understand, kinda hard to believe, wish she could remember what happened 20 years ago

Sounds like you are doing very well just keep at it and it will happen sooner or later. You remind me of myself when I first started. It was the only thing on my mind and I was also doing the gateway series which is very helpful. I actually just started again.

As far as your chakras don't worry about it too much

awesome stuff

I read some begginers posts sometimes and think nothing of them, but you are doing very well. keep going with what you are doing and you will succeed

Nice goodjob.
The music is one of my favorite parts because you can listen to anything you want and its crystal clear

man welcome to my world i've been experiencing this for probably the past 4 months lol

yeah i get that too where i'll be out standing in my driveway and i look up and jump and try and fly, but i'll only get about 10 or 15 feet and then i float back down to the ground.
But then other times i'll go outside and fly down the street without really thinking about it.
I think it has to do with self doubt or something

I had a dream I returned to this beautiful place I've been to a few times before. Some big grassy field with blue sky and warm sun with a nice big white house at the end of the field.
Don't know why, but I just have a strong attraction to this place.

I'm sure someone else will chime in, but I've had this happen to me a few times while trying to conciously project. I don't think it was as intense as yours, but it seemed like it was happening to me because I was afraid of the unknown. This was before I had an OBE. And I would get so worked up thinking I was about to exit and my heart would start to race.
Seems like you're pretty familiar with the subject though. Why not trying to ask one of your teachers

Never heard of the metal springs affecting projection. I have a bed with springs and I am still able to get out. Never owned a springless bed so I don't know if it makes it easier, but I wouldn't think so

Never had the feeling that I needed to walk away from it, but I have taken breaks for a couple months to half a year in the past.
It's not that I don't want to keep doing it, sometimes I just lose interst and then after a couple months go by something sparks my interest and I'm anxious to get back into it.

I might try that today shineling since today is cold and boring out anyway. I think the radio would help because even if you do fall asleep the sound may catch your attention and put you in the perfect state to get out

i get that jerk when meditating sometimes, but sometimes I think it's just my head falling back from my neck muscles loosing up

What are you so worried about staying out longer first? You need to BE out of body to stay out longer in the first place.

lol jk, but yeah it would be nice. It really depends on lucidity too I usually just end up losing conciousness after some time

Hello and welcome
I wouldn't waste your money on the CD. There are plenty of free mp3s, brain wave generators, and more on the internet.
As for a book, when I first got into AP the first book I read was Journeys out of the body by Robert Monroe. Now I'm reading his second book Far Journeys which I am about to finish, then I am going to read his third book Ultimate journey.
I enjoy his books a lot and I think they're a good read.

Seems like you're off to a good start and you already know it doesn't come that easy. Just take your time and read some books and just read as much as you can online so you really understand the whole thing

The best info I can give you when you're ready to start practicing, try it in the morning as soon as you wake up. It is A LOT easier then trying to relax your body to that state before going to bed.
There is plenty of info on this on this site and also check obe4u.com or his videos on youtube

Honestly I'm not upset with my results. They're not exact, but I got 2 out of 3 things correct both times I did the experiment. Which was the color and the number the first time and the color and the symbol the second time which is still pretty accurate to me.

I don't do these validations to prove that OBE is real to me I just find it fun and if I one day I do get the right card, then awesome.
I believe OBE is real, I just want something to do during my projections because usually when I get out I just fly around my house or my yard and don't get me wrong flying is awesome, but it gets repetitive and I feel like I'm wasting the experience sometimes by just flying around til I wake up.
I would like to travel to places far from my house either here on earth or in other dimensions, but I'm not sure how to go about doing that yet

Oh and yes, it is definetly not as easy as just looking at the card and then waking up and validating it.
Like said above your subconcious will def mess with your head if you are not fully aware making it very hard to get an accurate reading
