My experience. Help!

It sounds like you got to the vibrational state immediately preceding leaving your body but you weren't quite able to seperate.  I've only had 3 OBEs (all in the last month) but before that I had a couple experiences like yours - I think the idea is that when you feel the "tingling" or those other feelings try to relax and mentally encourage it to spread all over your body and then either try to float up out of your body, or sit up, or roll out.

Hello.

I'm fairly knew to Astral Projection, but I had this 'experience' not long ago and I'm not sure what it was, or if indeed it was anything at all.

I was lying in my bed and started increasing my body awareness. After a while it was very strong and I started feeling a tingling sensation, especially in my legs. During this whole process I was concentrating on my breathing and tried to have a clear mind; my body felt very relaxed and didn't have any intention of moving (probably a light trance?).

Suddenly, I felt very 'strange' and my breathing and heart-beat increased dramatically for no apparent reason. I felt as if my arms 'lifted up' from my physical ones. After that point I got pulled back into my physical body and just couldn't carry on. I tried 'calming down' but couldn't. That was the end of it.

I would be grateful for your thoughts on this and if YOU have any tips on how I can overcome this and project. Thanx a lot.
