phasing backwards

[Gandalf]

This morning I was lying in bed and started noticing a pressure building behind my forehead which I tend to associate with my brow chakra or energy center opening up. The pressure tends to build up further and further until it feels like something in my head is going to snap.

Usually it fades before anything happens but this time I tried pushing it to see what would happen. The pressure built up and up and next thing I knew there was a moment of disorientation and then I was feeling a sense of myself moving backwards into the 3d blackness. This was quite interesting as I have noticed in the past that I seem to find it easier to enter the 3d blackness state by moving into it backwards. I felt myself rushing backwards into the blackness with increasing momentum and over time I started to get impressions of some kind of tunnel that I was travelling through.

At this point I decided to see if I could find a way to emerge in the astral somewhere and no sooner had I thought this than a astral window seemed to open up in front of me and i emerged into a wooded environment very much like the area around my old school.

I started walking around and checking things out. Everything seemed very real. It was actually raining slightly and i was able to feel the drizzle on my face and see the droplets of rain falling off tree branches.

The weird thing was the people. I did come across a few people walking around and some of them said hello as I walked past, the problem was that the people were cartoon-like! The environment was real enough but the people were cartoon images of people.. very weird.

I know it was some kind of overlay experience that was causing me to see people in this way and I tried my best to mentally correct the image and over time the people I came across began looking more lifelike.

I passed a woman on a nearby street and asked her what year it was, as everything seemed so normal that I thought i might even be in the real time physical zone somewhere.

The woman seemed a bit confused by my question (no wonder!) but replied and said that it was 2014!

That's about it really, I spent a few minutes walking around some street areas and the nearby park area that I had originally 'landed' in, before I began to feel things wobbling and becoming indistinct, when the quality of the experience declines and I tend to return to normal waking consciousness.

Very interesting Gandalf. I'm curious, where you trying to phase when you felt this pressure? In other words is this something you typically experience prior to phasing? I will sometimes feel the pressure in the brow chakra, just as you described. But for me it can occur randomly, while I'm doing other things, or while meditating (I get it quite often then). But I don't remember ever getting it while phasing. I'm curious what the relationship is and if you can somehow use it to 'jump-start' the 3D blackness phase.

Guess I need to to some experimenting!

I've always been curious about brow-pressure too. I've done like Gandalf where I focus on it and it gets really intense, but dosen't seem to do any good for anything. It can be distracting so I'll focus on lower chakras to lessen it, but if it could be used in some way...

[Gandalf]

I have never used brow chakra activity intentially for phasing, but as you say, sometimes it comes on at random (like when I'm walking along the street!), and this time it was while in bed doing a phasing exercise.

This is the first time that brow chakra activity has ever resulted in a phasing experience so I'm not sure what to make of it. Maybe there is a connection, but energy movements and chakra activity are not needed for phasing work and indeed are usually regarded as a distraction.

I will try this again and see if I can get this result again.  Others may want to have a go and see as well.

In the past, I have found that increased brow activity has resulted in conventional OBE experiences (ie real time zone) but never to anything beyond that.

i projected last night from a dream, and was reminded of this thread.  in the dream (you will laugh at this), i was in a church, and i was insisting that the priest let me say the sermon.  cos i felt i could inspire the people more than him.*

standing up at the altar my confidence lessened.  suddenly, i realised i wasnt really there- and i thought- let me go back to the time when jesus christ was alive, so i can see how he preached.

i consciously phased - but i went backwards.  there was a weird sensation- as if a wooly blanket was coming to surrond me from the outside.

wat happned after that was pretty bizarre- getting chased by an abominible snowman equivalent!  hazy.

but inetesting projection nonetheless.
