This sounds like the exact same thing that happened to me. It was the first and closest i've gotten yet.
I felt like something was sucking me up out of my body, what probably happened is that it distorted your thoughts and you were sucked back in.
Thats what happened to me, and you also being new I just thought i'd share with ya. :)
Thanks for replying, its good to know that I am acheiving something. So anybody have any tips about how to prevent my thoughts being distorted at this moment. Is it because I thought about what was happening which distracted me, I tried to be happy and excited and not afraid I tried to revel in the experience and not panic or be frightened. Will that help?
Thanks Jayselect for taking notice of a newbie and taking time to share your experience with me[:D]
my friend, please read the other experiences... thats very normal, you should really read them to know what will come in the next time or maybe how to go to the next step.
I just had my first astral experience. Can anyone help explain what happened? I used the mind awake/body asleep chant. I suddenly felt like my whole body weighed tons, Then I felt like I was being pulled or sucked upwards while concentrating on leaving my physical body behind, I began to tremble intensely. Finally I felt a reverse of the sucking upwards like I was being sucked into myself.
As this was my first time I did not know what to expect and was prepared for anything. Can someone please help me learn from this experience now.
Thanks
Love and Peace to all
