Hello all!
I'm new to the forum, so, hello!
I've been interested in OBEs for some years now. My interest has come and go in cycles, due to lack of success, and I eventually discovered our friend Robert Bruce. I tried the rope technique and adjusted the motion to a point that I could feel some very noticeable pressure with each pull. One time, I had to stop my practice because of some very strong dizziness. So, rope has given me some pretty dramatic sensations.
After trying rope for awhile and not successfully inducing an OBE, I lost interest. But, my interest in OBE's just won't go away. A few years ago I got a copy of Astral Dynamics and I've read it a few times since. I've been referring to it during the past few days and practicing OBEs, and I feel that I am finally understanding the process and doing something right. I think I'm close.
For some reason, I can't seem to get the same sensations with rope as I used to. It's just not working for me. However, I've begun to use the point-shift technique with some success, switching rope in when I lose my focus of point-shift. This really helps! I don't get bored and sleepy, because I can focus on something, and if it doesn't work, I have another technique to use.
This morning I had what I consider to be my most exciting OBE attempt so far. I think the morning helped. Usually I practice at night, and I just didn't get tired and lose my focus. I used point-shift, and I felt some strong sensations. I tried to "feel" myself in my projectible double, and to rise away from my physical body. I imagined that the physical body sent these very tight elastic cords around my double to lasso it back in, and I forced myself up and away from the physical body as much as possible, feeling my shoulders roll up and away, etc. As I did this, every time the feeling was really "right", I felt as if there were a pressure building all over my entire body. When I lost my focus on point-shift, I tried rope for a minute, and when I lost my focus for that, I went back to point-shift. Every time I used point-shift, it was like the pressure built some more.
Does anyone else here use the point-shift technique? What kind of sensations do you have? Does anyone have any advice?
I just wanted to share my enthusiasm a bit. Thanks!
