i have recently quit smoking and drinking at the same time.  needless to say, my body is having quite the reaction to the whole process.  it is hindering my energy and meditation work, or at least seems to be.  

i can't get my concentration down, my mind wanders, i feel kind of twitchy and nervous and it's making it really hard to get into a trance,  and forget about actually trying to project!  i can't even get into a meditative state!

is this psychological?  has anyone else had this experience?  is there energy work i could do to make this whole experience easier to bear?

thanks =)

i purchased robert's astral dynamics a couple years ago but loast it about a year ago.  i fell away from the path of meditation and truth seeking for what felt like a long time, but just recently have been dating a wonderful woman named barb.  she actually bought another copy of astral dynamics for me out of the blue!  i'm so excited to get back into the community and into the meditation excersises!

my question is, has anyone here tried astral projection with a significant other?  does it increase and/or help the experience?  does it perhaps hinder the experience?   i'm quite curious, but i don't want to try something that may be a hindrance to either of us in our quest for OBE.

thanks everybody!

when i was a child i used to have encounters with people i was convinced were my guardian angels.  they would help me in situations i had gotten stuck in, etc...  but always seemed to disappear as soon as i looked up and tried to find them around me.  they were never very spectacular looking people, very normal, but also extremely kind and pleasing.

i haven't had any such encounters for years, though i would love to have one again.

i have also been having the same sensations recently, and i haven't done excercises recently, but i used to do them all the time.

the conlusion, or idea that i've come to about this is that it's the universe trying to tell us that we need to not let go.  we need to keep pursuing the truth and the higher dimensions of reality and not let go of our pursuits as we have done recently.

whenever the paralysis happens, i try to focus on it and see if i can keep it up, see where the sensations take me and what they're trying to tell me.  just try to open up to what you're feeling and see what happens.

good luck!

nope, we both accept it just as much, i just have recently gotten over some blackage issues i had.  thing in my life that were keeping me from pursuing my previously established goals for OBE.  it will be a little more work for me now to get back into it, since i have to clean out a lot of my "energy pipes" that have been clogged by things like booze and las drogas.

thanks for the encouragement though =)  i really don't think she's a demon, either... in fact, i think i may have already seen her astral body in a pre-sleep state i was in, but i'm not sure.  it didn't look very evil though.
