Answers? - What is happening?

[straton]

Hi
I'm a man from Norway and found this website as a link in a Norwegian website.

There is something happening to me when I fall into sleep. It happens very often, about 20 times a year for the last 3 years.

Just when I'm about to fall into sleep I get this feeling of being pulled out of my body. And it is as a physical feeling. Its lot of vibrations, but my body are not vibrating. Then I get scared and stops it, and if I don't open my eyes it just happens again. The reason why i stops it is that I don't now what will happen next.

Hey straton, welcome to the forums!  You will find our FAQ's section very informative.  What you are experiencing is very normal.

But do you know what it is?

But do you know what it is?

I took the liberty of finding you Kodemaster's quote from the FAQ's which TalaNay posted a link to.

Many beginners come across this scenario:

I have been meditating for X amount of time and I get to the stage of vibrations. However I feel myself getting close to getting out, but I can't. I even feel like I'm floating. How come I can't get out?

Here is the missing piece:

Although people commonly believe they will project from meditation at first, most actually don't get to that stage (sometimes referred to as a full-conscious exit) until many years of practice.

The floating feeling you're experiencing is actually a common trance symptom, and is not a projection itself.

Your first experiences most likely will come from pulling an OBE from a dream. Please refer to my thread in the Astral FAQ on how to do this:

However, I'm not saying not to practice meditating and doing energy work. The training is necessary to build up the energy - and prepare your body - to have an experience.

Uhh.. wait, I don't think that even answers your question on what the vibrations are..
I'm not good at explaining things with words, but here goes... vibrations are normal when you're entering trance/about to leave your body. You use them by focusing on them and increasing them until you can easily leave your body.

Thanks for answers:)

Next time it happens and I choose not to stop it. What will happen? If I leave my body, how long can I be outside my body? Will my body still breathing?

You should leave your body or come close to it, and after a few tries you should have left. Some people have first experiences that last hours (to them), but most people start out with minute-long experiences or so, and work their way up. You'll probably just float around your room the first few times, but you should set your standards higher!

Your body will be perfectly okay when you get back to it, don't worry about that whatsoever, or it may affect your results.

Ok. This is what I probaly expected to hear, but I just needed to hear/read it from someone.

How fast can you travel while you are out of your body? Is it the spirit that is out of your body? Is the heart still pumping?

[Woah]

1. How fast can you travel while you are out of your body?
2. Is it the spirit that is out of your body?
3. Is the heart still pumping?

1. Depends on the situation and/or person. Sometimes you'll be fast, sometimes slow, usually whatever you wish.
2. Different people believe it is different things, for example: spirit, soul, psyche, etheric body, astral body, mind, etc.
3. Yes.

Thank you Woah..

Next time it happens I will try not to stop it but just do it. I'll post my experience here.

Straton, when you are out of your body, your physical body will be perfectly fine. Think of it like sleeping, your body goes through the exact same processes of sleep, as it does with when you leave your body as a spirit.


Goodluck with it!
