Hi,
I'm kind of new to this whole OBE topic, to be honest i saw 'donnie darko' a while ago and it's become one of my top 3 films, and i was just reading a lotta stuff related to it and somehow got to astral projection.
I was looking throu different articles and stuff and i tried astral projecting a couple times but i'm not sure if im even doing it right heh. well, i tried last night, and i know they say you shouldn't do it at night and what not but anyway. I was pretty much laying down and just focusing on the noise inside of my head, after a while i got all numb, and then out of nowhere i felt as if i was awaken from sleep because my hand was shaking (i didnt think i was actually asleep) but i got excited and in like a second my hand stopped shaking. But i kep trying and like 20 minutes later, again i felt as if i was awaken, this time i felt cold breeze on my face, and again got excited and i killed it hehe. Same thing happened once again, i felt as if i woke up again (even thou i didnt think i was sleeping) this time i was seeing just random geometric figures in my eyes, but my eyes were open. And after that i kind of gave up...
Now i am not sure about a couple things... first of all, do i have to lay on my back? or should i? i mean i couldn't ever fall asleep on my back but im not sure if its good or bad... Also, what happens if im covered in like bed sheets or something... i mean how does the astral body work? Is that like a ghose that goes throu things? Next, are those vibrations that are supposed to happen physical or are they in my mind? And are they going to be really strong? like, how do i know that it is 'it'? Also, someone wrote somewhere that you're supposed to like pull yourself out of the body or whatever, what am i supposed to grab on to if there's like nothing really close to my bed? Next thing, after you get your astral body out, how do you know if your in astral or physical body? I mean could you look back and see your physical body just laying there? How does that work? Also, what if like your astral body is out somewhere and someone comes in and tries to wake you up, would the astral come back automaticaly or what? Also, in astral can you like "think normally" i mean do you realize that you're in an astral body or is it like a dream where you think it's all real? Finally, how do you get back to your body? Do you have to just come back and lay down in it and they're gonna just connect or what? Also, how does time work while your astral projecting? I mean can you stay in astral for like a whole week or something and you're body is gonna stay asleep or what?
Sorry to kinda flood you all with all those questions but if someone had any hints for me i'd be really greatful! Thanks a lot,
matt
It's different for everyone. I haven't been able to project through meditation I have only been able to do it from lucid dreaming. I am getting closer and closer though. The thing that I think will work the best is try to find the least comfortable position in which you can BARELY fall asleep. Like many people will recommend a chair or being at a 45 degree angle in a recliner. But like I said I have only OBE's from lucid dreams. So you could try to read up on lucid dreams and see how that works for you. Then when you are there just ask for your body.
