3rd eye and aping

[Atmosphere]

Ok, I have been trying to ap for some weeks now with no success. I have heard you can ap by activating your third eye. I can make the pressure and tingling sensation around the middle brow forehead area at will, but I don't know what to do next. I try to focus on the ringing in my ear while breathing deeply to relax my body. At the same time I concentrate all my energy on the pressure around my brow. I'll do this for like 10 minutes and just give up because nothing is happening. The pressure will stay the same or decrease a little. Can someone please tell m what I'm doing wrong.

People say a lot of things, most of the time it's not true. I have heard you have to close all your chackras then OBE because the energy hold you back. I have also heard you have to open them all and then try. I have heard you OBE through your crown chakra but i have also heard the 3rd eye one. I have even heard some of the lower chakras.

So, experiment for yourself. At the end of the the day I don't think chakras are a determining factor to having an OBE. It has much more to do with your state of mind.

I agree with Lighten, some people seem to need energy and chakra work, others don't. Your state of mind is the important thing. Being in trance makes it a lot easier.

Stick with your technique for a while, don't give up, then try a different approach. The odd thing is, it will happen when you are not forcing it to happen.

So, what is the pressure and tingling sensation around my brow area? What can it be used for? Is it just muscle spasms?

[Lighten]

You can learn to focus of any part of your body and feel tingling. I'm not saying its fake or not, how would anyone know that?

If you think it can lead to an OBE keep it up, but it seems you have tried and failed, so move on.

I have a Hindu friend who practices chakra cleaning and it has nothing to do with OBE. He works on each chakra individually for months at a time. Again, everyone has different theories, but according to him, focusing on your chakra for 10 min doesn't do anything, even though you maybe able to feel it.

Again, everyone will say something different, and none of them really know for sure. what works for one doesn't necessarily work for another. Try some more general techniques first.

What all the OBE techniques have in common, every single one, is to focus on something. Whatever you pick to focus on, focus on only that and you should have some success.

Coo, thanks for the advice
