Ditto, buy the book.
It was a "path through the darkness" for me.

interesting.
I have hard time with these things, but I am fairly comfortable with the way this group used Ouija, and their assertion that they had contacted the spirit for years and were sure of his good nature and positive advice. They were not simply kids goofing off, using ouija as a party game. As a matter of fact, they were very precise in the conditions and state of the group before they began.
thanks for your input.

When I was 14, I attended a Oujia board session of a small group (all of whom i trust) and was told by their contact spirit that if I meditated enough, I would be able to channel his spirit.
This spirit (called No Name due to the fact he wanted no associations with names) told me things about myself that noone in the group woould have known. He spoke thru the board in French, and I was the only person who knew french in the room. No Name told us that we were associates in a past life, doctors during the Greek era, who had become close.
15 years later I find myself looking re-establish contact with No Name, but would never use the board by myself, as most of my spirit work is done alone.
Please advise! Thanks!

Ok, theres alot of story here at the beginning that im gonna glaze over for brevity sakes.
-Sleep paralysis at 13
-Brother passed away 23
-Chronic Depression set in
-Fear of sleep paralysis disappated with depression
-Realized i could move during paralysis, and it was actually spontanious OBE
-Researched, found out it happened to others, found "Astral Dynamics"

So I started doing my energy circuit everyday, twice a day. I knew something was brewing, I could feel my body awaken when I started the exercises. I could reach the point where fingers or an arm or leg would slip from my body, and this SO excitied me I would lose concentration and either fall asleep or get up.
So one night, I half-heartedly started my energy circuit in bed.  I was so interested in it that running my circuit became something i did to pass time, like twiddling my thumbs. But then something happened. I felt a presence and small touch or kiss over my third eye. I immediatley knew it was my brother who had come to see me.
When he died, it was sudden and I never had the chance to say goodbye. It was something that teared me apart since the day he passed. And now here he was....
"Come out and play," he suggested. I began to see him in my minds eye, standing right next to my bed. I knew he had known what I was up to, but that I could only slip out an arm or leg.
"You know," i spoke to him only as brothers can, " instead of standing there, you could give me a hand."
He nodded and proceeded to grab my big toe and pull me out of body. There i was hanging upside down while he held me by my big toe! We had a great laugh about this, and embraced with a ferocity that I will never forget. Everything I had been feeling and wanted to tell him but couldnt for that past year and a half was conveyed through that embrace. We didnt need to speak, it was a communication that was instant and timeless .
We talked of many things that night, mostly of my feelings and how i was to move on without my life without my best friend and older brother.  All good things must come to an end and so they did. I awoke from that projection feeling incredible. Its like the weight was lifted, and yet I still felt sore from where the weight was working on me, but I knew that soreness would pass and make me stronger.
Since then I have had many projecting adventures and met many people along the road, but Ill never ever forget what that first journey provided me. A chance to say goodbye.

I was aware somehow that my physical arms where still at my sides, but my spirit arms (for lack of a better word) where bent at the elbow and pointing strait up toward the ceiling.

HAhahahah that is great stuff. I cant tell you how freaked out I was when I felt my conscious body separating from my physical in the same way.

If Im on my back, it starts with arms, in the same method.

If Im on my stomach, I tend to slip out through the bottoms of feet. Like i was syrup slipping out of a bottle that had tipped over.

its always great to see loved ones during a projection. I also saw my grandfather in a projection once, but the circumstances were much more grim.
I met up with my guide, who happened to take the identity of my brother who had passed over 2 years prior to this projection.(im convinced this was to keep me comfortable with what i was to witness). He asked me if there was anything I wanted to see and immediatley thought of my Grandpa Flip. He was a great grandfather, but alot of the actions in his life (physical and emotional abuse due to alcoholism) were very wrong. Of course, i didnt know this until i was older and he had passed.
So my guide grabbed my hand, and we phased to a courtroom. It was very surreal, not at all like a courtroom we know. But if there is one thing it is impossible to mistake, its the face of a judge.  THere were 6 judges sitting at bench that towered above us. The bench formed a half circle, and standing at the half circle, head lowered, was my grandfather. I couldnt hear what was going on, I was only getting the visual of the event. My guide explained to me that he was judging himself, and what i was seeing was an extension of his construct, where he continued to try himself for the wrongs of his life. He explained that until he reached the point where he could forgive himself for what he had done, the trial would continue.
This brought immeasurable sadness to me, as he had shown me nothing but love. But I knew he had committed wrongs against his own loved ones and understood why he was trying himself. I let it go, the prjoection ended.
To this day, Im sending out the love that my grandfather showed me to try to get him to understand that he meant a lot to me, and hopefully get him to forgive himself for his life's transgressions.

Hi everyone. my name is Kelly and im from florida, US.
a brief history of OBE for me.....

Started having sleep paralysis around 13 yrs old.  It was a deep source of fear and frustration for me, made me afraid to sleep. It wasnt until I was 23 that i finally shed the fear and confronted it. That first night, I walked through a closed door and completely was entranced from that point on. I began to research these occurances and after learning that my grandfather and father both had sleep paralysis, but never did anything about it, i stumbled upon "Astral Dynamics" by Robert Bruce. If any book can change a life, this was the one for me. I became a new man, free of fear and new horizons on the outlook. Soon after (about 3-4 months of daily practice) i was able to achieve my first conscious projection, and what a doozy!
I projected every day for almost a year and a half, then I just stopped. I continued to meditate, but OBE was just too taxing at the time. My life had become very busy at work and I think this had alot to do with it. I had moved my energy reserves onto something else.
Now i find myself back at the beginning. Im free from the daily grind of the office and need some spiritual re-awakening. So ive come back to these forums to offer advice and learn something new.
Cheers!

i prefer to focus on the physical sensations. I guess that is because from my viewpoint, projection starts as a stimulation of the physical and I know when im going to exit when i feel my extremities slipping out of the physical. Keep your mind focused on getting out of your body and not on the imagery presented to you thru meditation is my advice. Remember that there are always multiple solutions to your problem, and be aware enough to try solutions that dont have a negative effect on you!

theres a few suggestions i would have for you.

1. Daytime conscious projection is much easier to accomplish.
2. Lying down in your bed cues your mind that its time to sleep, so try sitting in a recliner or another position.
3.  Im big on getting each one of my senses in order before i start to work my circuit. For some reason, if i can still taste food in my mouth from dinner, or if its too cold, or theres a bad smell in the room, I will completely fixate on it until I get up and change it, thereby screwing up my circuit and having to start all over. So i make sure my teeth are brushed, incense is lit, A/C is turned up all before i sit down to project.

hope it helps....
