Thanks for the response.

Actually, I did hear something that sounded like rushing water, but it just felt too faint to actually seem relevant.

Hi everyone,

Last night, after I had meditated to relax my entire body and whatnot, I started to feel waves of sleep come over me.  I was laying down, and noticed how my body felt like it had sunk in my bed about 4 inches or so (specifically my right hand at first, then my body).

Soon, I felt like the entire bed (and my body) was rotating counterclockwise (so I would be flipping over).  I tried to grab my bed and prevent myself from flipping, and I felt myself remain at about a 90 degree angle almost (even though I knew if I opened my eyes I would be normal).

I had gotten pretty excited/nervous over the whole experience, and while I was still in this awkward position, I felt my physical body shaking almost uncontrollably (kind of like shivering, but I wasn't cold).

Anyway, to me, (and from what Ive read on these forums, it sounds like it may have been a small form of vibrations).  The reason why I have doubt is because I felt "too awake" in a sense.  I thought I would have had to been in an almost "sleeping" state.  Eventually, I just got up and got a drink of water (my whole body was tingling and numb).

My questions are (and I am new to this, so please bear with me):

Would these be considered vibrations (or at least small ones)?

I have read about how to go from vibrations to an OBE, but I feel that when I had whatever i experienced, there was nothing I could do to get out of that state (besides just opening my eyes and ending it).  Any tips?


Thanks, and I apologize for the lengthy post.

Hmm..its hard to remember.  I think, however, that it did feel fairly similar to the after-effect of regular pins and needles.

The main reason it felt weird or different was that it happened in both feet at the same time, which never happened before.


Thanks for all the help so far!

It was closer to pins and needles than a loss of sensory perception (although I couldn't really wiggle my toes at all).  However, it wasn't necessarily as strong as the "normal" pins and needles I would ususally get.

Hi everyone,

I wasn't sure exactly where to put this topic, but since I am looking to have obe's as my ultimate goal, I put it here.

First off, I've just started reading about astral projection and OBE's a few days ago.  Right now, I'm not even really attempting to get to the OBE, rather, I am just practicing on meditating and really concentrating.  

Anyway, last night, I was concentrating on my breathing (I was trying to imaging breathing in clean, blue air, and breathing out bad, smoggy air), and it was working successfully.  Granted, I had many interruptions (as I am still a novice), but I was able to stop most of them.

After about 10 minutes or so I felt my feet falling asleep.  My question is, was this from the meditation? or could it have just been because they were tired?  I had been driving most of the day, so they were tired to begin with, but is this the sort of feelings and "numbness" I should expect through my entire body as I progress?

Eventually, I couldn't take my mind off my sleeping feet (it actually went all the way to the knee), and lost concentration, so I just went to sleep instead.

Thanks, and sorry for the long post.
