I've recently been trying techniques from Bruce Goldberg's book "Astral Voyages" and i have also been trying out techniques and relaxation exercises from this site. I start out with a simple breathing thing to calm my heart beat down a little and to get a bit relaxed. Then I begin to feel tingles and vibrations all over. I tell myself that it is too soon to have them (seeing as I just started about a week ago) and I continue to think about nothing. As I continue to sit there, the vibrations and tingles I have will increase, and then my eyes usually start to try to open. Sometimes I can keep them shut, but once I couldn't control them from opening. When they do I can see my basement (which is where my room is) with a little bit of a bluish purple tint (not so much, but a little). What does this mean?
im not 100% sure, as im new to this as well, but what I would guess is that you're seeing the Aura of the room, or the aura of the energy around you or that you yourself have. :smile:
this might help you to be able to see what's going on.

Good luck!
Or it could also be astral sight.

yeh the exact same thing happens with me, my eyes attempt to force themselves to open, it really is annoying, especially when im trying to get into a deep relaxation sleep, as forcing them to stay closed doesnt exactly help me relax.
