Tensing up and trying to force it inhibts the vibrations. But, once you have them, then it's easier to have them again because you "know" what to expect.
Try this. Set an alarm clock for 4 am(quietly if you live at home or have roommates). Get up, go to the bathroom, wash your hands and face with warm water (this is to set you in a proper frame of mind). Go to the kitchen and make a very light snack, nothing heavy, maybe some sliced melon? You want to kill at least 1/2 hour before trying your OOB.
Now try your meditation. Some people think you should try OOBE's from a chair, and I agree. However, in your case go back to bed. Prop yourself up a little bit and go through your relaxation techniques into meditation. What you want to do is try for the vibes and an OBE, but you want to set yourself up for a fallback LD (Lucid Dream). LD's are more common if you fall asleep vibrating or nearly vibrating. I tend to have this 10 minute minnie LD's when I fall asleep while power raiseing. When I come out I'm wide awake and refreshed, and less than 20 minutes has eleapsed since the last time I could see the clock.
This is all a variation of the "Interrupted Sleep" technique.
Now its common the first few times you have the vibes to tense up or get frightened. Don't be, you know its coming, you've read all about them, so conciously you know what to expect. Relaxation is the key, and its hard to do sometimes on command. The worst thing that will happen is you will fall back to sleep [;)]

That is how ifelt them, i tensed up and relaxed, and tried to bring as much energy into me as i could.
but when they came i was frightened. I wish I keeped with it.
good luck too you !
Is there any way I can induce the vibes to come when I'm deeply relaxed? I can get relaxed, but I'm having poor luck with vibrations. Any exercise pertaining to this would be helpful, thanks!
