Now I am going to change my day planning and go to sleep earlier, so I can get up when everybody is still sleeping and practice.

And - yey! - I've actually overcome the problem I were experiencing before - there is no more heavy breathing and heartbeats for me!

And I am so eager to try again this night!

Welcome, Seth!

I think we will all reach our goals sooner or later, so don't worry - keep up working and practicing, try keeping the process natural, not worrying too much about the technique or the results you await. Just consider falling deeper in trance is very, very natural and there is nothing you can do about it, but keeping yourself conscious.
Oh, and what helps me - I just keep saying to myself "I am going to leave my body, I am going to leave my body.." over and over again. A little self-hypnosis, I assume, this makes me feeling sub-consciously that going out of my body is just a normal part of my daily routine.
And have you tried the binaural beats music? Some of these tracks have helped me, though they will not take you in the astral realms all by themselves, you've got to put a little effort in it, too.
Hope this helps.

Lockind the door is risky for me, I will be woken up by banging and yelling, coming from the other side - my mother is nervous about people trying to have their privacy - funny, concerning I'm 20.

Anyhow, I am really happy I took this up.. Not only I am progressing in AP, but also I feel more conscious during the day, my intuition has become better than it was, and so on. I feel as if I had woken up from a long period of sleeping and learning what I was born to know.

I've been practicing AP very intensively for the previous nights and days, and it is leading to results already! Last night I spent 2 hours on meditating - I fell asleep, however, I had semi-lucid dreaming. This morning, as soon as I woke up, I started practicing again. After 3 hours of work, I was partially "out", closer to an OBE than I had ever been since my childhood, however... Well, I am still living with my parents, so, as it was already 2 PM, my mother decided to wake me up, and she actually did it.
But it was soo hard to step out of the trance this time - I just lay there, not able to move or talk, only looking at my mother with glassy eyes, almost not breathing    Hehe, she thought I was having a fit or something...

I think I will get up really early this morning, so that nobody will disturb me..

Well, I've been here for some days, but still, I decided to make a little introduction of myself.
So, my name is Laura Krastinya, and I am from Latvia! And I am really happy about finding this forum, as reading all the advises has actually helped me in my AP progress. So, what should I say... I love you all!!
:peace:

I've met this entity once,  too, but not since I use self - defense practice. Actually, this thing is very powerful. I have a dog who likes coming to my bed and looking at me at night. However, when I say my prayers and make the protective circle around my bed before sleeping, my dog can never pass its border - he will just stand by it and whine.

I agree upon the fact they cannot destroy souls, but they create the fear that they could.

While browsing this forum and the internet, I've found lots of stories of encountering shadowy forms of energy, some even claimed that these entities have tried to drag one out of one's body or take one's soul. I would not think of this as true, unless a friend of mine hadn't experienced a black ball of energy trying to pull him out of his body, and if I hadn't been seeing black, manlike shadows (I call them mute men) from time to time since my childhood - they are always stronger if you are afraid of them.
Once, before a year or so, I awoke at night, paralysed (sleep paralysis, I assume) and I saw a tall figure standing by the window. In thoughts I said to him to go away, but at this point, it attacked me, getting on my chest, not letting me to breathe. But worst of all - I was almost scared to death.
That thing was evil... Luckily I was conscious enough to start a prayer (Our Father In Heaven) - instantly, the thing vanished, and I felt as if a loving and light entity had come to protect me.
So the question is - what are these things?? And how can we make them not coming at all?

Does somebody have good binaural beats music (like boxed nirvana, and such) in .wav format?

Yeah, I checked them - I really enjoyed this music!

Thanks for the information, MJ.
Another question, though. Has any of you tried the brainwave music of William Buhlman? And what is you overall opinion on using such aids for OBEs?

oh, thanks God, they are just music...

umm, are these brainwave or simply relaxing?

You think it is because I have relaxed not enough?

I really don't know.. I once got up after I thought, from my feelings, that I have been relaxing for half an hour, but, when I checked the watch, it was two and a half

Soon after my Grandfather's death he came to me and took me to a place he said he would be living  now. It was a very vivid dream. He lead me through the dark tunnel, and, on the other side, there was a meadow, with an old country house in the distance by a forest. Then, I stayed on the edge of the tunnel, while he went further, and, as he went , he became younger and younger, so, when he had reached the house, he was a young boy. Then, his parents appeared, young and healthy. They all turned to me, smiled and waved goodbyes, looking very happy. Suddenly, a loud voice banged into my ear, saying - It's not your time yet! - and then I as awake.

I have been practicing AP for quite a time now, and I feel that I am starting to get very close to an OBE. Only a slight problem disturbs me from it - whenever I feel like going out, my heart starts beating really fast and my breathing becomes fast and heavy as well. Maybe somebody can tell me how to overcome this?

You were going out of your body?

Maybe you should practice self defense systems before going on? I usually do prayers and visualize a shield of protective energy around me, and it helps.
By the way, what kind of entity it is exactly?

Hi!

Well, I am afraid that I won't be able to give you advice how to overcome your fears, but maybe you will ease a bit if I tell you that I used to have frequent OBEs as a child, but then I lost this ability. However, recently I started training for it again, and, step by step, I am improving.
So I doubt that this ability can be lost forever, and I hope I am right.

Hey, I have got a question too..

What is your opinion on the "brainwave" music, that drags into trance state and is said to "kick you out" in astral realms?
