Been practicing for only 2 days....

Yes i know 2 days is very little time, and i am not expecting to astral project that fast.  But yesterday, was the first time i ever even tried to do it.  I really have never meditated before btw so I really thought i was not going to get any results.  Well anyway back on topic,  I began to do the "rope technique"  I think its called...after the relaxing/meditating part of course.....and i felt like a pounding throughout my whole body, like my heart beat almost, but everywhere.  It even felt like the bed was moving a little.  And then i saw a bright light, my eyes were closed tho. Then i got like "scared" a little i guess and stopped so the light went away as well as the beat throughout me.  So i decided i would try again today.....About 30 minutes ago i did the same technique as yesterday, only there was no light or beat, there was just this like tingling/vibrating throughout my WHOLE body.....and i think I read it somewhere before that thats supposed to happen.  But i couldn't get any farther then that...I just kept vibrating and i continued to try and "climb the rope"  but i couldn't get the full projection...anyone know why?

hey aptryer

I don't know why people place so much importance on time. Two days or two years, it doesn't matter.  If you know the technique, have the determination, and get rid of the fear, you can do it in two days or less.

You are on the right track, and please don't let fear hold you back.  Nothing bad will happen to you.  You will leave your body, have an amazing experience, and come back to your body.  That's all.  Keep up the exercises.

hey your experience sounds a lot like mine.  If you get the vibrations again don't put too much effort on the rope technique.  Just relax and think about floating up or popping out of your body.  you'll get it soon if you keep trying.  another thing i try to do when i have vibrations is increase them.  When i get the vibrations i will try to make them as strong as possible, almost to the point where it feel like im violently shaking.  then i just sort of pop out.  keep trying and you got it

Great! Also, Like Venus_Goddess_of_Love said, DO NOT make time an issue. Get rid of that and any fears you have, and you'll be on your way to the Astral!

Also, if you want to try the "Mind awake Body asleep" exercise, I highly recommend this MP3:

Its the "No Mind" one at the bottom.

Hopes this helps 'apreyer!'

I had some of my strongest experiences in the first days of trying to Astral project - (haven't been succesful yet) it really convinced me about having an astral body and made all the stuff i've read on messageboards seem plausible - my life won't ever be the same.  A newbies motivation is really a major factor, so keep trying today, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow etc. ect.... Good luck and congratulations on entering this exciting way of life
