Well I just tryed AP yesterday, I decided it sounded kind of interesting so I would try it. Now I THINK I may have had a little progress but, I am extremely confused because it is only my first try and I think that it would take longer to get even as far as I did. The first time I tried I was laying down I relaxed i did the countdown from 10 thing and then I imagined a ball of light and as it looked around I imagined I could "see" what it saw as it was looking around, after this I felt a sensation like movement that scared me out of my state of mindish thingy. Later that day I was laying in bed with the light on so I decided to try again this time I was going to try 2 methods at once. First I relaxed and did the 10 countdown thing relaxed and then did the ball of light thing. I felt the movement again but, I calmed down and tryed to keep focusing, I then tried the "grab something solid and pull" technique to "exit" I didnt actually grab somethign but I imagined my arm reaching for something distant as I had nothing close and pulling, as I did that I my stomach kept rising up up up like i kept breathing in hard which I think I may have been doing but certainly not on purpose the feeling of motion was even stronger and it seemed like my stomach kept getting higher and higher almost uncontrollably I kept trying to "pull myself out" but eventually the sensation got really really creepy so I "woke up" now my question is, was this close to Ap? Is it a type of sensation you will usually get? If I was close why is it that I achieved it so quickly, only in 2 or 3 trys that were around 10 - 20 minutes each?
oh and sorry if this is in the wrong board or anything im new here.
your intent was strong...but yea that is pretty much what leaving your body is like, it is different for many people. Just let it go next time
I tried agian last night and I plan on trying again tonight.... I seem to not be able to completely seperate I can feel my body rising but, I cant open my astral eyes and I cant see my "astral self" I just imagine it and I can feel it rising but, just can't get out. Maybe my body isnt fully asleep when I start? because I am easily able to "wake up" just by opening my eyes would that do it? Also, is there any reason why I was able to get that far so quickly???
hmm...sounds like you need to focus all of yourself into your outer body and just say "vision now" or something along those lines. You are just having mental blocks.
