this doesn't sound very fun at all..
maybe you should be less worried about continuing with it and more worried about fixing the current problem before you project.
Hi there Omega ! welcome to the forum. You asked :
"My question is am i getting close and what else should i do to make me project."
Yes, you are very close. Imagine you are tuning a radio from one station (physical world) to another (astral). You're at the point when you can just hear the music of the new radio station, but only just, through all the interference.
"Other than that i get a lot of tugging it feels like a car is pulling me over rocks "
This, along with lots of other sensations, is part of the "interference" that you'll sometimes get when you project. Just recognise it, realize its not actually dangerous at all, and you're halfway there. It can get much scarier; I've been lying on my bed, pinned down by invisible hands, attempting to choke me ! Just remember that its all harmless stuff.
Next thing is to have an intent firmly in mind. E.g float up, pull on the rope, roll out of body, etc. A key thing to remember here is that you are using your mind, not your body. Try too hard, and you'll experience the sensation that you are in your physical body, and nothing is happening. Sit back, relax, get rid of any last lingering thoughts that you are still in your physical body, and hopefully you'll make progress !
good luck !
omega,
There is another thing I'd mention. That is, the getting cold part. From what I've both experienced and read, it happens a lot b/c we are lowering our pulse rate, and blood pressure when we get into the state where we are mind awake/body asleep. Again, not everyone experiences the exact same set of physiological changes, but in my case, I try to make sure I'll be warm before I get to that mind awake/body asleep state.
Hi everyone im new. I can get into the vibration state easy but when i try the rope meathod all of a sudden the vibrations and ringing in my ear get louder. Then it feels like my body gets bigger and i have my eyes closed but the darkness gets bigger. The darkness lookes like i have it on all sides and i see little swirles of white in the dark. After that i start getting cold and it feels like im drowning in water when i inhale it feels like the water is going up all over my face and exhale it goes down. Other than that i get a lot of tugging it feels like a car is pulling me over rocks and my body goes in every direction. My question is am i getting close and what else should i do to make me project.
