Hallo mooncresentgirl
It seems that you have a very good idea. I plan on joining soon. Maybe not in the next few days but in a week or two.

Hallo iamkuljuarenot
Here is an idea if you are looking for things to do OBE. The next time you have an OBE you might try to visit Astral Pulse Island (API). You can read more about the experiment in the special API forum here. API is considered part of the Astral plane, albeit a special place specifically created by some Astral Pulse members a few years ago as a location to meet up OOB and verify/confirm one anothers experiences.

Hallo D.E.A.T.H.
I get those 'altered' feelings too but, fortunately. in my case it happens only very rarely (maybe about once every 6 to 8 weeks). When it does occur I usually ending up watching tv or playing a CD and that usually puts things back to normal.
btw are you the same D.E.A.T.H. that used to post at the old astralsociety.com website??
Just curious

Hallo chucktrue and welcome.
If you stay with this for long enough there is every chance that you Will have a full conscious out of body experience.
Good luck 
Grey

Xanth and moondreamer. Good luck to both of you. The more people that participate the more likely it is that someone will succeed at visiting API.  See you both there!

Greetings all. I 'revived' this oldish thread to post an alert about the API experiment. The group over at astralviewers ( www.astralviewers.com ) is starting up an experiment to visit Astral Pulse Island. So I thought that Now might be the time to renew our own efforts to visit API. That way it might be possible to cross check results with any successful projectors from astral viewers and, maybe, get some type of verification.
This would only include either travelling OOB, phasing or remote viewing API. No physical locations or computer generated images would be involved.
Anyone interested?! If so please reply here.
btw I will make my first attempt tonight.

Grey

Greetings all.
Nickthebear, maybe what you experienced was a variation of the 'old hag' syndrome. The astral beings encountered in the old hag syndrome can be negative and even violent but they are not demonic. If this happens again you might research on how to do either a protective spell or a banishing ritual. These can either be performed in the physical or in the astral when OOB.

right, practice at what ever pace and/or repetition that you feel comfortable with. A 1  2   2 khumbaka is a good beginning breath. Maybe instead of 4  16  8 you could do a 2  8  4. Whatever feels right and works.

Hello schockstuhh and welcome
While knowledge and technique Are important for inducing OBEs deliberate intent and desire are The 2 most important factors. You obviously already have those 2 most important factors and knowledge and technique can be found here.
Look forward to reading your posts in the forums.

Naykid and blis, thanx to both of you for reading and replying.

Naykid
I'm not sure what the muck was, it may have been some form of symbolic representation of my personal health. Bad eating habits during the holidays, not enough exercise (other than shoveling snow lol) and maybe too much alcohol. That could account for the nausea, maybe it was more physical than astral.
That's just a guess but it's a most likely possibility. (though maybe it was only distorted astral senses.)

The pranayama that I practice is based on the ratio 1   4    2. There are three types of pranayama, which are
1) adhama (beginning breath) inhale 4 seconds, hold 16 seconds, exhale 8 seconds.
2) Madhyama (middle breath) Inhale 8 seconds, retain for 32 seconds and exhale for 16 seconds,
3) Uttama (advanced breath) Inhale 16 seconds, hold for 64 seconds exhale 32 seconds.
I actually perform pranayama for at least 30 minutes each day after waking in the morning.

Greetings all. This is the first of 2 OBEs I had during the last week of December. I'll post the second one in a couple days.

                                        "Deluge"
Thursday, December 23, 2010  (OBE # 99)
   The first memory of this OBE was as I floated through a crowded hospital. There were many nurses standing about in conversation with one another. After about 5 minutes of floating above hallways I asked a nurse how to get out of the hospital. She directed me to a long corridor that led to a large warehouse-type retail store that was part of the same building.
   Soon I was outside. Allyssa, in purple alien form, was with me inside a small backpack. Suddenly it began to pour down rain. I waited out the short violent storm under shelter. However, after the storm ended when walking across a large lawn I came across puddles that were up to 3 feet deep. Here I became bogged down in murky dirty water and felt extremely nauseous. Fortunately I was able to get to a dry sidewalk before becoming very ill.
   A few minutes later I reached a vehicle and then drove along a residential street for 15 to 20 minutes. The street ended in a gravel road where a large crowd was gathering to watch a golf tournament. So I turned the car around and drove away. This OBE continued for another 10 to 15  minutes. What happened during that time is nearly forgotten.
   Notes.  Time was between 5:00 to 6:00 AM. Duration was between 30 to 75 minutes.
The location was a Belief System Territory (BST, either astral or ethereal). A familiar being was there --Allyssa the elemental. There where also many different discarnate people. Deliberate,  Emotional,  Floated,  Pain,  Dream>>into>>OBE,  Teleport,  Confused,  Pranayama (before),  Meditation (before),  Affirmations (before).


Thanx for reading. Feel free to post a comment or question.
oh, btw I really do Not know if the elemental's real name is Allyssa, that's just what I call her/it.

Just because 1 or 2 OBEs might suck or include an encounter with a negative entity does not mean that all OBEs are like that. Actually it is the opposite. Negative experiences OOB are really rare (they do happen from time to time but that Is rare). Also a few bad experiences help make a person appreciate the more common positive OBEs all the more.
So don't allow your fears to get the better of you.

Grey

Firmitas, very nice.
3 OBEs/Aps in 1 nite, I'm actually a bit envious because I had 2 OBEs in the last week of December and thought that was special !? 
Anyways your first experience, where you were about 80% in control (not 100 %) shows how it is possible to just 'go with the flow" and have a full and interesting OBE without controlling every small detail. That actually happens to me, I have to decide early on when OOB whether to just go with it and relinquish conscious control (and hope I don't forget a lot of what takes place) or else focus on mental clarity (and thereby maybe miss a chance to go somewhere interesting and do something special).

Grey

Hallo Hilary and welcome.

Look forward to reading your posts in the forums here.

Hi there Lunarvegan and welcome back. I remember you as Valkry.
Negative entities Can be a big problem. I have encountered them on a few of my OBEs. Fortunately they don't affect me otherwise. There ARE ways to deal with them such as banishing rituals. protective spells, etc. While I am no expert at this I am sure you can find ideas and suggestions in the various forums here.

Regards
Grey

Hallu uhsumdumboy and welcome.
One item of advice that comes immediately to mind is try not to get too frustrated. Different people progress at this art of astral projection/OBE at different rates. So what takes some people only a few weeks might take you much longer. Just stay with it and don't quit. You could have an OBE at ANY time, quite likely when you aren't trying and least expect it.

Good Luck 
Grey

Hi Beavis
Yeah, I remember you. Good to see you've returned.
Have you been back to Astral Pulse Island?
I've tried to get there several times yet can't seem to do it. If ever I do get there then I'll look for that elephant statue.

Grey

Greetings All + Happy New Year!  

I want to thank everyone who has responded and wish to encourage anyone else to answer the 2 questions, (it will only take a minute).
Again, all the info from this poll, and the 2 (or 3) future polls will be added to the Informal OBE Survey (which can be found here at astralpulse at

OBE Exit Poll

Greetings One & All
This is an "Exit Poll' and yes, I know, an exit poll is something that tv stations do on election day to predict winners. However this is a different kind of exit poll. This is about your ability to separate your astral/ethereal body and EXIT your physical body. (Exit Poll, get it. LOL)
What I am looking for here is the total number of OBEs that you can recall. This can be broken down roughly as follows.
a) Never had an OBE.
b) Have had between 1 to 10 OBEs.
c) Have had 11 to 25 OBEs.
d) Have had 26 to 50 OBEs.
e) have had 51 to 100 OBEs.
f) Have had between 100 to 500 OBEs.
g) Have had more than 500 OBEs. If so please estimate an approximate number.

Question 2 When was your first conscious OBE or AP?
a) As a child of 12 or younger.
b) At high school age of 13 to 17.
c) When between 18 to 23 years of age.
d) When between 25 to 40 years old.
e) When over 40. Again please specify an age.

I am going to post this poll in several different websites so if you see this poll in another website please do NOT respond more than once.
Your participation in this poll will help me finish the "Informal OBE Survey" (to be found both at astralpulse.com and astraldynamics.com)  There will be one or two (or 3) more polls to follow.
When all the responses are tabulated the complete results of the OBE survey will be posted at http://forums.astraldynamics.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=16173
Thanx to all who respond.     
btw I may email or pm some of you who I consider to be particularly skilled at OBEs.
Grey

Hallo LovEnergy and welcome.
I too meditate and also experience the occasional OBE. My OBEs do not occur during meditation but happen later at night. The meditations help put me in the right frame of mind but do not induce them immediately. So I'm curious if your OBEs happen during meditation or take place hours later?

Regards 
Grey

Hallo Sidheag,Happy New Year and Welcome 
You mentioned that you might have had one frightening OBE. What happened that made the experience scary??

Regards 
Grey

Zorgblar
Could you provide a brief description of one instance when you heard screaming so as to provide a set and setting and context of the experience??

Thanx 
Grey

Seasons greetings
mcdwg,  Sometimes windows can be portals. Many people have mentioned that mirrors serve as portals in their OBEs.
About seeing your niece   - Do you think that she was actually awake or asleep when you saw her OOB? If asleep she may have been dreaming or could have been OOB herself. If she was awake there is a chance that she may have actually have seen you OOB.

Happy New Year 
Grey

Hallo Michael
Yes, that Did appear to be an OBE.
Your confusion may have been due to the binaural CD. Maybe the pulses sent out by the CD somehow distorted your astral senses. It's also possible that the OBE part of the experience was actually quite short and that after only a few minutes you slipped into a dream.

Regards 
Grey

Seasons Greetings
My problem with the argument that OBEs take place inside the physical brain and body is that it contradicts the term Out of Body Experience. The reason that OBEs are so special and are a separate phenomena from dreams is that the consciousness detaches and leaves the physical body. This is also the reason why OBEs differ from clairvoyance and remote viewing which Can also be done withing separating consciousness from brain.
Obviously this debate will not be settled in this forum, nor in any other website, but I felt a need to add my $0.02

Cheers
