[BALANCE]

Hallo everybody

KurtyKurt
I admire your work and hope that you succeed in building a device that enables or assists people in going out of body. I really do!
Yet it is also a fact that some people here Do go out of body on a regular basis without any form of mechanical device. Many more people here have occasional semi-regular OBEs that either just occur spontaneously or are deliberately induced, again without any technological assistance.
The gist of this is that BALANCE between mind (thought), body (the physical including technology) and soul is always critical. Once too much emphasis is placed on the physical at the expense of mind or soul then problems immediately arise. This can be seen in the American government's unending obsession with high tech weapons and the secrecy that surrounds them.
Anyway to curtail a possible rant here I just need to conclude by offering Kurtykurt moral support with the proviso that any device, no matter how high tech, CANNOT replace a person's natural ability to project their consciousness out of the physical body. Some people will ALWAYS be natural OBEers and that is as it should be.

Thanx and regards

[Yes, It is still on for anyone who is interested]

Hi everyone.

Wow, alot more interest in this than I thought there would be. And that's good!! 
So, a two part post here.

Part One --- regarding the actual experiment. Yes, It is still on for anyone who is interested. The selected image will remain where it currently is until ---
a) someone correctly discovers it (by whatever means) or
b) there is no longer any interest.

Part two --- theory about Astral Pulse Island. (API)
I tend to describe the astral plane as an objective location. Just my opinion. In this matter I follow Robert Monroe's ideas in his first two books and much less Monroe's later theories about focus levels.
As this pertains to API. I see API as a temporary objective location "somewhere' on an astral/ethereal plane. Don't know exactly where it is as I have never been there out of body.
Regardless of this everyone should also be aware that the selected image is in a Physical location. This is the best that I can do because I cannot be sure that I placed that image on API. I attempted to do just that via meditation but, well it is highly questionable whether I actually mentally imprinted that image upon API.

Good luck to all.

Grey

Wow, that was Wild personalreality. Thanx for posting that 
The energy tentacle that you describe must be the 'silver cord' that connects the physical and astral bodies.
Am curious if the reiki practitioner psychic was aware that you were out of body at the time?

A couple quick comments. Try herbal teas without caffeine. They are quite good hot or iced.
Also, how about the idea of meditating on one of the reiki symbols?? I just thought of that, as it might be an effective form of energy meditation. Just an idea.

Hallo youwillovernegz

Good to see you've joined Astral Pulse. Hopefully you will have a successful OBE in the near future and we be able to read about that first OBE here in the forums.

Grey

Hallo FilipeF

The visuals that you posted bring to my mind two possibilities.
1) Maybe you were in a tunnel or vortex of some kind. It sort of looks like some of the descriptions of tunnels of light that people occasionally travel through while out of body.
2) You might have been on one of the higher "astral planes" that are mostly made up of higher vibrations of light and energy. I have had a couple OBEs that were true astral projections to higher astral planes and I saw similar patterns of light there.
Just a though or two.

Grey

[Did]

API challenge update.
Last night I Did select an image. It is taped to a wall next to a drawing of API. The selected image is easily visible from the middle of the room. Good luck to anyone attempting to view it.

Also. Last night I had a Dream of an OBE.
The dream began while riding in a car driven by a young women. Suddenly I and the other male passenger were out of body flying about 50 - 70 feet above a small river. I could clearly see the car, and the three occupants in it, including myself, on a narrow, twisting road about 100 -200 feet away. I immediately realized that it was an OBE but did NOT realize that it was a dream?? 

I post the Dream here because there might be a possibility that I perceived someone in the astral/ethereal who was OOB making an attempt to view the selected image in my residence?!?
So if anybody got out of body last night (Monday/Tuesday) and/or had a dream about driving/riding in a car on a hilly road above a small river then please respond.

Thanx and Regards 
Grey

[OBE # 94 "Short Float and Shorter Flight"]

Hello everyone.
This will get me up to date posting my latest OBEs. Both OBEs were fairly subdued. Please take a look, see what you think and post any comments, questions or suggestions. I like to tread your feedback. Thanx

                                          Out Of Body Experiences # 94 And # 95
Friday, March 12, 2010
   In the early morning hours before dawn I awoke in the mind awake - body asleep state. Vibrations were coarsing through my body and I also experienced sleep paralysis. I allowed the vibrations to continue and they soon became much stronger. In only minutes I was able to vibrate my astral/ethereal body out of my physical body.
   OBE # 94 "Short Float and Shorter Flight"
   I hovered directly over my physical body and reached down and picked up Allyssa the elemental. She was in her normal physical form of purple alien toy. The mental state that I was in was very enjoyable. I decided to get outside and to go flying. However, it was difficult to go through the window. It took several tries yet I did manage to get outside. Once outside I hovered in midair right near the house for only 5 to 10 seconds and then the OBE simply ended.
   OBE # 95  "Window Prevents Exit"
   Once again I vibrated out of, and floated above, my physical body. Again I took Allyssa with me. Again I tried to go through a window. This time the window was a more formidable barrier. Despite trying three or four different times I never got outside. I almost got through but on one occasion got stuck halfway in the window. 
   Then I went down one flight of stairs. I intended to go to the first floor and try to get outside there through a door or a window. However, I heard my mother on the telephone (? she was actually asleep?) and this abruptly terminated the OBE.
   Notes. Time was about 5:45 AM. Obe # 94 lasted less than 2 minutes, OBE # 95 lasted 3- 6 minutes. Lay on my left side. Both OBEs were in a familiar location, a Locale I. Both had a familar being, Allyssa the elemental and  # 95 also had the voice of a family member. Both OBEs included Floating,  Deliberate,  Emotional, Vibrations,  Sleep Paralysis,  Saw my Own Physical Body,  Meditation (hours before),  Energy-pranayama (hours before),  Affirmations (hours before) and Alcohol (hours before). # 94 only was short and had a very short flight. # 95 only had a barrier (a window). Note also that the light outside was much brighter than it should have been as it was still predawn darkness.

Grey

[ALRIGHT]

Hi all

ALRIGHT. Tomorrow night at about 6 PM eastern time (US) I will select one image and place that image next to my drawing of Astral Pulse Island.
Both the selected image and the API drawing will remain together in full view upstairs in the house where I live. I will leave those images there untouched for (at least) the next 3 days (until Thursday).
Anyone interested in taking this challenge should attempt to view the selected image by
1) attempting to OBE to API to view the image
2) OBE to the house where I live to view the image
or
3) remote view the image clairvoyantly.

So, again, I will begin the experiment tomorrow unless someone wants to suggest a change or modification.

Regards and good luck

Hi bakingpowder
Despite your misgivings you Are progressing in the art of astral travel. Yes it is discouraging to have one deliberately induced OBE and then not be able to do it again. Yet that is what happens to many people. They enjoy one success followed by a very long "dry spell" of failures. So do NOT become disillusioned and DO continue with whatever "Conscious exit method" that resulted in that one success.
btw Long dry spells are rather common even for "experienced" projectors. I went nearly 2 years with only one OBE.

Too much cough syrup can cause distortion of the physical eyesight. So maybe there is also some correlation with astral vision as well.

Energy overloads are rare yet they do sometimes occur with people just beginning pranayama and other energy work. The breathing in pranayama can activate the kundalini and that can cause annoying or even negative effects in people who are not familiar with it. If you do feel an energy overload occurring it is quite easy to drain off excess energy. Just sit down on a floor somewhere and put both hands on the floor. Visualize any extra energy draining down through your arms and hands And through your legs and feet into the floor. After just a few minutes you should be fine.

Grey

All right I'm up for another go round with this test if anybody is interested.
OR I could pick an image and keep it next to a drawing of Astral Pulse Island that I sometimes use for meditation. I could pick an image, place it next to the API drawing and give you all several days to attempt to OBE or remote view the image. You would have to trust me of course. I have no reason to be dishonest in this.
Any takers??

Hi Metaphysically born
Pranayama produces 2 major changes in a person. First the breathing changes the oxygen levels in the blood. That can cause a lightheaded feeling.
Second is the change in the subtle body energy system. The breathing increases the amount of subtle energy that the astral/ethereal body has to work with. It also changes the flow of that energy through both the physical and astral/ethereal bodies. This second change in hard to describe in words. It took me a Long time to realize that pranayama changed my energy flow. Perhaps it has something to do with Kundalini - it probably does.
Anyway without being emphatic about this I wish to give you just a general warning (if you continue practicing pranayama that is).  Be aware that it IS possible to unintentionally overload your body with subtle energy. Seeing as how you already practice energy work and breathing you will probably be okay. But if you sense that something is wrong or the breathing starts to be forced and labored then give it a short break, maybe even for a day or so.

Hi Timandra
You are displaying abilities of clairvoyance and remote viewing. It is said that with training just about anyone can learn to remote view. Since you already have skill at this you might want to find a remote viewing resource (online). Some sites offer free exercises that can be used to hone RV skills. Maybe you can become very profficient at it.

Grey

Metaphysically born, you posted

I am going to give your breathing exercise a try but tommorow morning because breathing exercises tend to make me hyperactive and i do not want to be hyperactive 2:55AM lol

Great! Let me suggest that you start with the adhama = 4 seconds inhale, 16 seconds retain and 8 seconds exhale. If pranayama seems right for you then stay with adhama for a few days then try madyhama (8-32-16 seconds). The only other advice I can give is try not to overdo it, if your breath becomes strained then give it a rest.

Hi Jerri

I have had a few negative encounters with hostile beings out of body also. It does not happen often yet it does occur now and again. So your concern Is understandable. I see it as a reason to be more cautious than scared. You have the right idea of protecting yourself with a shield of light. Other people use that same technique for protection while out of body and from their accounts it is an effective method.

Stay safe, regards 
Grey

[Very]

The conscious and unconscious will and intention to go out of body is as important as any consciously applied method of inducing an OBE. The point being that it is Very important to stress your desire to have an OBE. That should eventually result in a spontaneous OBE, even when you least expect it.

Grey

Well mystery solved, in a way.
Yet you Do have a good memory snow pellets.

Timandra
You are correct, partly anyway.
Earth elementals are called Gnomes, air elementals are sylphs, water elementals are dryads and fire elementals are known as salamanders.
There are also Thought elementals which can be created by people, either physical or discarnate, from intense and repeated thoughts/meditations.
There are also other types of elementals. One well known one is the Elemental of Leap (pronounced Lepp) Castle in Ireland.
As to which of these types "my" elemental is I do not know.

Rising Son

Your unease is understandable. Do you remember being at that place before?
Next time you meet either or both the woman and boy it might make sense to ask them a few questions. Things like, "Who are you?", "How do you know me?", "Where is this place?" Of course they may not answer, or give false answers. Still it could be worth a try.

Hello Sappy

There are probably many mantras that begin with the letter D. The only one that I am aware of is the Hindu word Dam. Funny I now but it is actually pronounced D-ham or Daum. D-ham is used with meditations on one of the seven major chakras (can't remember which one though it is neither the top nor bottom chakra). All the mantras used with the chakras rhyme with the word Aum or Om (variable spelling).

BINGO BANGO BONGO I FOUND the thread.
Wait to you read this !
It is almost an exact duplicate of the description that Snow Pellets posted.
the link is here---
http://www.astralpulse.com/forums/welcome_to_out_of_body_experiences/stingernose_monster-t6438.0.html

Too close to be mere coincidence.
When I get around to it I will check Graupels profile, find an email or pm and see if he can add anything.

hi horaciocs

Both of your experiences were probably OBEs. Especially the second experience. Sometimes medications combined with a weakened physical state will result in an unintended spontaneous OBE. It appears that this is what happened to you.
Did your brother corroborate your first experience? (He may also have out of body at the time and not known it?) If so that certainly is a noteworthy form of validation.
The two kids that you saw in the second OBE may also have been living people out of body. Maybe they could have been ghosts? Unless of course two kids live in the apartment below.

Hallo Radman
You are getting close to having a full blown deliberate OBE.
Remember that everything that you do to try to induce an OBE must be a mental exercise. Try not to perform Any physical actions, evening opening your eyes, as that will likely ruin the attempt.
You appear to be on the right track concerning the chakra and energy work/meditations. That energy should translate into strong vibrations which can be used to consciously go out of body.

Good luck & regards 
Grey

Hi Timandra

The elemental whom I call Allyssa could be a thought elemental which I (intentionally or unintentionally) created during an OBE. Much more likely she is another type of elemental. She takes the physical form of a small purple alien toy that I recovered during a Mardi Gras parade (the toy was tossed out from a parade float).
When I lived in New Orleans she unexpectedly appeared to me during an OBE while I was floating in the bedroom. That was quite a surprise as up til then I had no idea she was anything other than a toy. She has subsequently appeared to me several times during OBEs. We have also shared Many dreams together. So I have come to the conclusion that she is some type of elemental that occasionally inhabits the physical toy form and also visits me in OBEs and dreams.
More than that I am unable to say. Like SO many aspects of the astral/ethereal realms this elemental is also mostly a mystery.
