Had my First Exit Last Night

[Fresco]

WooHoo!!!!!!!!!!  Had my first (planned) exit last night right before sleeping.  Weird thing is I was barely trying to exit, it just kinda happened.
It was a very short OBE, no more than 10 seconds.  and I floated about halfway between my bed and the ceiling.  It was dark so I couldnt see much, but the OBE was very real.

I could also hear my neighbours radio (or TV, not sure which) very clearly.  
I read somewhere that its normal when people OBE they can hear radio and TV fequencies.

Anywho, I'm finding it easier and easier because I almost had a 2nd OBE when trying to get to sleep after that.  Only drawback was I somehow picked up a lot of energy during OBE which made going to sleep afterwards difficult.  I didnt pass out till about 2:30 or 3AM.

I'm quite happy, but at the same time I dont find it that big of a deal.  Weird!!

Congrats!

For how long have you tried to OBE, and what method did you use?

I been trying AP on and off since March 2010.  I used no method to exit, it just kinda happened.
It was nice though, very liberating. 

Only downer was it didnt last very long and I was stuck in the RTZ. 
I never got to see any astral planes

[Pauli2]

I would have been happy to enter the RTZ!

But you must go about it somehow? Do you sit up or recline, open or closed eyes, any thought preparations in advance, special intentions?

[Fresco]

I lay flat on my back with just a pillow as headrest.  Arms to the side, eyelids closed and keeping my eyes focused on one spot around my upper forehead.  I also do deep in/out breathing, sometimes with long intervals.  From there its just practice, practice and more practice.

Its also beneficial to take a few weeks break here and there.  Get your mind off it.  
Trying too hard is counter-productive

Congrats Freshy! 
I knew you could do it. 

The energy you "picked up" was just your excitement.

LOL @ PR and Xanth  


You silly animals you

[Greytraveller]

Hallo Fresco. Very cool that you had your first OBE!

Floating indoors IS a blast. Flying outdoors is MUCH better (believe it or not). Also it is not unusual for people to experience sharpened senses while out of body. It has happened to me once or twice, when my normally average eyesight was Very keen.

I remember my arms and legs were flailing away while I floated.

Next time I hope to go at least 20 to 30 feet away from my body

Apparently no one from the pulse should go to "Dream Viewers" forum unless you are strictly talking about LD and think AP is the silliest thing anyone ever thought of because science says so. 

Oh, I put this here because that's how they treated Fresco when he went there to further discuss this experience.

[Fresco]

Here's the direct link of what PR is talking about: http://www.dreamviews.com/f11/my-first-planned-astral-projection-exit-last-night-104247/

These people are so beyond retarded.  
They claim AP cant be proven by science.  Riiighhtt....and lucid dreaming can??!!  

Unbelievable!!

[Pauli2]

Well "Dream Viewers" have their view. We have our view.

Win the Randi Price and views will change.

[Xanth]

Yup, I read over some of the stuff in that forum and found them extremely ignorant, belligerent and very bigoted in their beliefs.
So yeah, I didn't even bother making an account there.

But meh... they're allowed to have their own opinions.  However incorrect they may be. 

[Naykid]

Hahaha.. I like the comment by the goober that said it was a trend.      Now that is funny!  You're right Xanth, they are allowed their opinions, but they really should do a little more studying up before saying such silly things.

I agree with you 100%.

Its official, SystemsLock over at DV is a goofball  

Typical god-complex, and I dont even think he's a mod

He just strongly thinks that what he believes is the ONLY truth... more power to him.
He's just going through life with blinders on though.   Meh...

I didn't mean to derail this thread so much fresco.

I wasn't so much concerned with their opinion, I gave my retort. 

I just didn't think that was a good way to treat a new member.  Perhaps if they indicated that they were just joking about their tone? 

And, in a roundabout way, I was giving the pulse a pat on the back, because I don't think we would be so cold to just shoot someone down instantly if we didn't agree with them.  Maybe we'd talk to them and find out more about how they define their experience, find some common ground.  Maybe I'm giving us too much credit, but I'd like to think we're caring people.

And to top it all off, AP has been discussed many time on their site.
See here: http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&as_q=astral+projection&as_epq=&as_oq=&as_eq=&num=10&lr=&as_filetype=&ft=i&as_sitesearch=www.dreamviews.com&as_qdr=all&as_rights=&as_occt=any&cr=&as_nlo=&as_nhi=&safe=images

Anyways, thats probably gonna be the last time I post there.  Forum does not appear to be hospitable


EDIT: look they even posted an AP tutorial from that cute hippie chick: http://www.dreamviews.com/vbtube_show.php?tubeid=54

Here's another good forum, guys: http://www.spiritualforums.com/vb/index.php

You can discuss AP there without any hassles

[personalreality]
