Felt the "POP"...

[jacktheninja]

Hi jacktheninja,

I really don't go by any technique per say, but I have been mediating/relaxting for at least 15yrs.  I use to do the breathing exercises, and relax each of my limbs.. until I got to the numb stage...but now all I have to do is just relax my whole body at once..without the breathing excerise (that just seems to work on it's own) just sink lower and lower..I am not explaining myself very well, I'm sure..lol...

Hi Nay,

I've had that happen a couple of times. I think that the only thing you can do is to get use to it without reacting. I know! I know! You're there very relaxed and then suddenly this load pop sound jolts you...almost impossible to stay calm. A lot of different sounds can happen when trying to OBE.

I still haven't OBE consciously, but I've read that this "pop" happens when you are "getting out". Could be a memory download problem making us unaware that we got out. One thing sure is that when this happen, we're not far.

Hello Nay,

Is the goal of your meditation(if I may call it that) to project?
I have spent some time trying things out now, and today(erhm it was rather late..about 2 o'clock in the morning []) I had my first successful projection!

What I did was just going to sleep, but remaining awake(that is roughly what I did I think, but you can read more about it in the "experiences" forum-header.). This was very effective and I have now "drastically" changed from doing meditation(that is meditatin with a goal of projecting) to just "falling asleep". I believe the trick is to just keep trying no matter how badly you just want to give up and fall asleep. I have not tried this anymore but that one successful time, but tonight I will give it another go. I will let you know what happens[:I]

Hope this is helpful in some way or another, cause I just can't stop talking about(it was so GREAT!)it, so I hope someone can benefit from my euphoria [|)]

Regards,

Hey All!

Last night was doing my normal relaxing..got into it real fast, then was in 3D blackness..I was checking out the swirling mist, lights, and a few quick images.  I must have fell asleep for a second..But jolted back awake from the loud "POP" most of us have heard..
BUT I FELT IT really weird and exciting at the same time!!
Right on the top of my head (crown) it felt like something either shot out or in.. (take your finger and jab it on your crown real quick..not lightly, but don't hurt yourself) See how the feeling is still there after even a few minutes? That is what it felt like..cool, huh? [8D]

Have a couple of question though...after this happened, what should I have done?  imagined more energy going in or out? Or just relax some more and float out?..I am asking for future reference..It wouldn't have mattered last night cause of the perpetual snoring..Plus he has a cold..geez...I refuse to sleep in another room...I will conquer the SNORING MACHINE !!!!!! Funny thing, not only is he snoring, now he is making crying noises and stuff...Hehehe.
