Jilola/Tom,

My body was paralyzed, and I could feel a moderate pulsating vibration throughout.  At one point, I swore that I felt the feathers in my pillow as though they were going through my cheek.  They felt like pieces of straw.  I'm not sure if my astral body was loose, and went a couple of inches to the right of my physical body.  Also, I had this sensation that my head wanted to turn to the right and upward.  It didn't feel physical though.
Alot of pressure was in my head. Wasn't sure if I should proceed after hearing about possible "dangers".  Could someone please define was these dangers are?

Thanks,

I've noticed that at some point during my meditation that the blackness behind my eyes seems to expand.  One time the blackness seemed to become more denser and almost look as though it was solidifying.

Where exactly does this sensation fall within the steps of projecting?

Thanks Fred.

You mention Astral Tubes.  This is the first time that I have heard this term.  Exactly what do you mean by this?  Also, I have a question to anyone who can answer.  I heard that if you focus on the high pitch sound you hear when meditating, that that is the equiv. of visualization.  My question however, is what exactly is this high pitch sound that it seems everyone can hear?  Does this high pitch relate in any degree to the state of consciousness that we are currently in?  Does it relate in any way to our vibrational rate?

Just curious?

One more thing... Would this occur regardless of whether or not a person projects.  Does projecting just make one aware of what is actually happening?

I've been practicing, etc for the last 3 weeks(going into my forth).  I have been able to reach vibration mode twice, once by happenchance, once by concentrating me efforts.  I have literally practiced 1-2 hours every night.  Sometimes in the beginning, sometimes when I wake up.  Is it possible to exhaust yourself practicing.  Should I break up practice to every other day, or less time?  

I find it hard to repeat starting the vibrations, but I do not know whether it is because I am too tired, or to anxious.

Any advice would be helpful.

Thanks,

Didn't progress last night.  I believe that I was to anxious.  What is a good rule of thumb regarding attempts?  Should one try every day, or should you stagger attempts every other day to allow your body to store up energy, etc?

I successfuly induced the vibrations last night.  I coordinated a series of events.

1.  Did alot of physical exercise throughtout the date, running, jumping jacks, pushups, etc.

2.  Light meditation before going to bed.
3.  Drank water before going to bed knowing I would get up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom.
4.  Woke up in the middle of the night as planned.
5.  Instead of going back to sleep without a care in the world laid on my back and began to enter trance stage.  

At this point something was holding me up on achieving vibrations.  I decided to change positions.  I always laid on my back during practice, but found that my body tensed up to much. Instead I assumed the position that I sleep in, on my side.

Change my positioning to laying on my side with the intent of falling asleep.

6.  Kept consciousness of my breath while trying to enter sleep like trance.
7.  As I breathed out, forced a dropping feeling throughout my body as If I was falling.

8.  Felt something going on in my head.

9.  After about 3 breathes, I had a series of wind chimes going off in my head with my body vibrating.  Color flashes were shooting through my eyes.

10.  Rather then try for an OBE right out, I decided to analyze what was going on:
This is what I found:
1.  Heart Chakra was highly active with a heavy fast pounding that resonated through my whole body.
2.  Chimes in dolby surround in my head.  Metallic sound in nature.  
3.  Nervous.  First time experienced from beginning.
4.  Tried to make it last.  Lasted for about 1 minute before I was to focused on the vibrations and they left.


I will try to repeat tonight.  If successful, I feel that waking up early morning definitely provide a kick start.  Physical exercise also.

Please, everyone, have a sense of humor.  For all of those who are struggling with the heavy meditation, and concentration efforts associated with achieving an OBE, I thought this may put a smile on your face.  Humor breaks through the toughest barriers.

Jeff,

Thanks for the advice.  I will make an effort to take it now to the next level.  Now that you mention it, I was consciously trying to evaluate whether or not I was fully paralyzed.  

I've heard, even maybe from this forum, that there is a high pitch rining sound when all is quiet.  I can hear this.  Someone mentioned that if you were to focus your energies on just listening to this sound that this would then induce vibrations.  Do you know of what I am talking about, and if there is any truth in it?
