Last night I went to bed, and I started Boxed Nirvana. As the sound played, I started relaxing from my feet up to my face.(I have a problem relaxing my face (http://www.astralpulse.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=190104&)). So I got these light vibrations after a minute or two.. And I tried to remain calm and not to fall asleep. At one point I sensed these very strong vibrations, and they vanished after a moment. I know these kind of vibrations from before, because some time ago I used to wake up in this strong vibrational state and separation from that state is easy.. But these vibes ended after a second.. So I remained in position. Then I felt swinging. This swinging was very "real", like someone really swigged my body... Then I got excited or afraid (i don't know why would I be afraid when I know that nothing can happen to me..). And my heart started to beat REALLY hard. Like it was going to jump out my chest. I tried to remain calm but this hard beating and swinging (same time) didn't vanish. Then I stopped the attempt. I put my arm to my chest and I really sensed this hard beating, it was physical, not mental. So what caused this very very hard heartbeat? Can I get heart attack? :) What do you suggest me?
P.S. I think these hard vibrations occurred when Boxed Nirvana played louder sound, I mean that it louder\higher sound actually induced this vibration.
anyone? :)
I've experienced the same thing several times a few years ago. The first couple times I thought it was my physical heart as well, but it turned out that I was already out and feeling with my astral hands.
I don't listen to music anymore because I too had the problem with me "feeling" the music the deeper the trance got. The same thing used to happen even when I didn't listen to music. The TV would pop and I would feel the shock through out my body, VERY intensely. A few times when it happened I would see a flash of white at the same time. It took me some time to get used to noises causing this interesting side effect and that was me just keeping on. After awhile my reaction was to not react. :grin:
I agree with Nay, it's probably not your physical heart. Every sensation you describe I've experienced in the exact same order. I originally thought my heart would explode if I kept going. People told me it wasn't my heart, but it sure felt like it. So one time I decided to push through it, and my heart didn't blow up. It hasn't been a concern since. Be happy your doing something right. I'm sure lots others on the Astral Pulse would love to get there.
(Georgians know what's up) :)
Quoteit's probably not your physical heart. Every sensation you describe I've experienced in the exact same order. I originally thought my heart would explode if I kept going. People told me it wasn't my heart, but it sure felt like it.
But when I stopped the attempt I put my hand to my chest and I could really sense my heart beating hard (not fast, but hard).. So if it happens to me again should I try to ignore it?
And regarding these strong vibrations:
Last night I atempted to project\force OBE again (with Boxed Nirvana). I realised that I was seeing images or maybe falling asleep. When I realise that I'm going unconsciouss I got the strike of these strong vibrations (they vanish immediately, but light vibes remain)...
heart chakra maybe?
Quoteheart chakra maybe?
I thought so too, but I'm telling you I felt heart beating when I finished attempt.. :|
I had this same sort of problem last night, i was fully relaxed and started to see flashing images (im pretty sure the image was of my room, but not dark as it was at the time, my room seemed to be lit up, or maybe just how i visualise my room)... and as I tried to focus on these images they started getting fairly clear and I could feel myself sort of being pulled from above, after a while my heart started beating really fast and really hard, so much that I stopped what I was doing to feel my chest and sure enough it was... can this sort of thing cause a heartattack? Can somebody please help as this is blocking me from doing something i really want to do. Thanks in advance...
EDIT: Also just before I stopped myself I tried to slow down my heartbeat by breathing really slowly and deeply but to no avail. After I stopped myself it felt as though I was drained somehow and my head felt quite hot. I also felt quite strange after this... cant really explain the feeling but yeah...
Ok thanks for that reassurance runlola.... because i was quite worried last night while i was doing this. How should I go about actually projecting while im in this visual state? (ie the flickering image, that turned out to be my room)
Hey Astral Projections,
I've had the same exact thing happen to me with the heart. I would relax my entire body from head to toe, stare at the blackness in front of me 'till it popped into a sort of 3 dimensional blackness, feel intense vibrations, my physical body felt like it was floating, I started getting warm, then my heart began beating rapidly, and very HARD, it felt like it was going to EXPLODE! :shock: That always freaks me out, so I snapped out of it. It felt like my whole body was getting a soothing adrenalin rush.
I inquired about this heart thing as well, and from what I've heard, it's actually your astral/spiritual projected body taking on the form of your physical body, and the heart feeling is not actually your physical body at all. I heard that there's no chance of having a heart attack from this and that it doesn't cause damage. But, I still swear it felt like my actual heart! It wasn't exactly centered though... (more to the left of my actual heart)... So, I'm still not sure exactly what to make of all of it. But, like you, I felt my "physical" chest and it was pounding!
Curious,
Cosmic_Ambitions
P.S. Has anyone here seen little fuzzy flashes of light that look like curled up shrimp while trying to have an OBE? I swear I saw these thing while staring into the 3-D blackness during one of my OBE attempts... :question:
I've had this before as well. My first attempt, the vibrations reached a point where it felt like a heart was pounding like crazy... all over my body, like my body was one giant heart. It was like beating unbeliveably fast. But I was very scared when attempting this. The intense vibrations scared the crap of me. I did wake up, and my heart was beating fast and hard, but it wasn't anything close to what I felt, so I'm not really worried about this. Every attempt after that actually it hasn't been a problem.
