3D Blackness, Heaviness, and Beyond

[zipppy2006]

I have been practicing and trying astral projection as well as lucid dreaming a lot as of late.  I can easily achieve 3D Blackness, and I can usually get a mild bodily paralysis where I feel a heavy, floating sensation, but I cannot get anywhere else.  I have been stuck here for a month, and I can't "Cross the Bridge" to lucid dreaming by falling completely asleep, nor can I make any progress concerning astral projection.  I know I get close sometimes, but then I think about what I am doing or become overly-conscious and I lose it.  I also cannot hold the heaviness indefinitely, after awhile I get bored and I wake up, feeling rested.  Energy work seems to work as a catalyst to these sensations, so sometimes I do that.  What are some tips on where to go from here and how to prolong the effect?

Damn, I am in the exact same boat! I have all of the above mentioned occurrances but no OBE or projection myself (though I try and try and try). I did feel that once I had some sort of remote viewing experience during the heaviness/3-D blackness stage which was awesome, but that was about it. Keep trying and lemme know what helps you cross that bridge!
