Hands turn during meditation stage

[Ceraphim]

I just would like to put this out. I don't even do it on purpose. Though when I get into a deep relaxation. About the time I start to get vibrations and fall into a sleep paralysis. My hands fall asleep first. It's always how I've started, from the core and it spreads to my feet and my head.

Anyway, as I lay there slowly letting my body fall asleep. I can feel my astral hands turn themselves up. My hands, at a relaxed state are palm down. Though I've felt them slowly turn palm side up.

It happens every time, I'm just curious if it means anything or if it happens to anyone else!

Hi Ceraphim

Ditto to what you say.  My hands always "go" first.  I've often found that I can be waving my astral arms around (from the elbow down) whilst knowing that I'm not quite ready to fully separate just yet.

thats how I initiated my last conscious phase.  I was laying in bed, I knew I was really tired and just barely on the edge of sleep and I just decided to try to move my hands.  At first I knew it was physical movement, but then suddenly my hands felt like they where moving through liquid and then I phased!     I am going to have to keep trying this out!  One of the main reasons I got into AP is because at night I would lay in bed and meditate and get to F10 without knowing it and I could feel my hands in strange positions I knew they where not in and I wanted to find out what was going on.

I get some of the same things sometimes. Usually it's not limited to one body part. What I do then is just continue to remain still until the body is completely asleep.

The sleep trick is simpler than anything else, and in my opinion more worthwhile (because we leave the body every time we sleep). Anything else might be a waste of time (though other techniques might work quickly). We are trying to get to the root of the problem--to learn to fall asleep consciously and discover why we don't.

Wait until you find your legs rising and rising until your standing on your head.  That's actually fun now..

Yeah that's fun, I remember doing that a couple of times. I always needed to somersault out of that position to get myself free because my head would stuck. If I remember correctly these projections have started without vibrations and been taken place in the RTZ.
