I've been getting this a lot lately. I've been using the "binaural abyss" (in the downloads section) as it works very well for me. I've been getting more and more to that level of final being able to just lift myself out. I feel I am accustoming myself gradually to these states so that I ease myself through the fears.
Anyways, I've been experimenting with different states, and one I've been getting (especially last night) is a confused state of where my consciousness really is. It really feels like it's my awareness kind of in-between my physical and etheric bodies. It's really a nice feeling, so I felt satisfied just staying like that for awhile. I'm just wondering if thats what this really is? and if so.. what's my next step? I have trouble separating body parts of my energy body from my physical, but the vibes come easy for me. Not many projection techniques I've tried get me anywhere past the vibes, so I've been just trying to relax into them and let the "projection reflex" take over. I just can't trick my mind into letting the separation happen.
