Back in the game finally...energy sensations during AP?

[moondreamer]

I'd like any input on my last few experiences.  For the last several months, if I am able to AP at all, I go in 'blind.'  That is, I can't 'see' where I am.  I can still hear and feel.  Touch (feels like vibrational energy) has been my main sense.  I used to try to force myself to see, but if I tried too hard, I would end up back in body, so now I just try to go with the flow...lol.  I don't believe I am only in a 'gray or black' zone, as I feel there is much more going on around me, but I am not sure on this.

After a couple of months of not being able to project much (and usually only for a couple of minutes if that), I have had an active week.  I had been having trouble making that leap from feeling like I am going to separate to actually being able to do it, and so I tried asking for help these last couple times.  At that point, I feel what I call 'guide' energy pull me out.  This has worked for me in the past too.  I feel an immediate sensation of being taken somewhere.  I have trouble deciphering when I am 'seeing' a product of my mind or if I am seeing an actual separate entity, but usually if it is something separate, I feel a kind of energy from them.  This guide energy is like that, only that I usually feel that energy coming from behind me.

These past couple of times, though, I have been feeling very intense energy touching specific parts of my body, most of the time in the abdominal area.  It is actually a very pleasant feeling, and I usually come out of it with a feeling of increased wellbeing.  Today, I laid down to nap this afternoon, as that is usually the best time to project.  I kept leaving and coming back, about 6 times.  The last couple of times, I felt the guide energy with me, and I had these intense sensations of energy being directed in different places like before.  However, there was an area on my back (right where the kidney is) that I felt it the strongest for a while.  This time, I actually felt 'pain'.  It felt as if someone were to make a fist and push hard on your kidney.  I'm guessing the pain sensation was a construct of my mind because of where the energy sensation was directed...I don't know.  I was never afraid during any of this.  I always felt safe and okay. 

Just wondering if anyone has ever had something like this happen.

In the initial part of Monroe's 2nd book, I think something similar is described happening to the Explorers.

Interesting.  What is the title of his 2nd book?  I have not read anything by him before.  Thank you.

"Far Journeys"

Thank you.  I see that book is harder to find than his first one, but I think I might order it.

This experience seems to have opened up the AP door for me quite nicely.  Still wish I could understand what the experience meant.  That is driving me crazy lol
