I think I made some progress last night. I was practicing and after a while, I tried out the Rope Technique, and my body started to tingle and shake as usual, with my eyebrows fluttering. However, this time, I also felt some swaying (not intense swaying, but I've heard this is a good sign anyway.)
Eventually, I gave up, as the shaking/tingling was getting too intense, and I still can't get past it. However, when I gave up I felt distinctly disorientated (which I've also heard is a good sign.) I sat up for a moment and then, as I was lying back down, I felt a sort of tugging on my face - it felt as though my astral face was pulling to get out of my physical face. Of course, it stopped after a couple of seconds, but I was pleased about it. It seemed like I made some progress last night.
Sounds like you could have been out and didn't know it! I've plenty of times, reached up to scratch and my "astral arm" came up instead.
Keep it up Skippy! Next time try rolling slowing out....not so much with your body, but think more with your mind.
Good luck, I'm very excited for you! :)

Do you really think I could have been!? :-o :-D It didn't feel as though I got out (it felt more like my astral body was inside me, straining to get out) but now after readng what you said, I'm beginning to wonder! Is it possible that I got out, temporarily...?
Thanks for the well-wishes, TalaNay. :-) I'm quite impatient to finally be able to do it. I'm going to try again tonight. Unfortunately, sometimes, when I make some progress, I then seem to flag a bit, and it can be a while before I progress again. I hope that won't happen this time, though! I'm anxious to get out and about!
I do think it could've been. :) Stop worrying about the next time or you'll jinx yourself! hehehe.. You are going to do great!!! :-D
You might be right. :-) I didn't get very far last night, although part of that was due to the fact that I had to be up early today, and I had to get to sleep early, so I didn't practice for very long.
Thanks for the kind words. :-) It's nice to receive encouragement. I was pleased about Sunday night, because previously, I've usually felt that I'm not getting very far.
