Hi!
I am Andrew from Germany (so please excuse my english..) and I try to do a oobe since a few months.
Approx. one year ago my interest has started and I`ve checked different books, audios (binaural, etc.), the internet for this topic
and I also started to meditate regularly.
One day in the afternoon I was a bit tired and was laying outside on a couch and I was listening to some binaural sounds
as suddenly a big energy wave has catched me and it felt like getting a big electric shock on my whole body and I was really scared
and almost falling down from the couch.
This was the day where my interest has started and will never go away until I know everything about me and the universe :)
Ok now let me tell you my last try to do an oobe and my questions:
Starting time: 3pm
entire duration: approx. 2 hours
This was approximately my 15th try...
I was starting with the progressive muscle relaxation and the tingle has started from the feet and comes up very fast.
I think maybe after 1 hour my body was nearly completely paralized excepting from my throat to my nose.
This time I was able to ignore the feeling that I have to swallow so also my throat was getting paralized.
BUT than my fear came up: :|
After my throat was paralized it goes up to my breath and it felt like my throat will close (like someone would lace up my throat)
and that was really frightening. As this happened I was taking a large breath and the paralysis has moved away from my breath
but came back very soon.
Than my eyelids started to tremble but this is not a problem...
I`ve tried to think to something else and to concentrate on the "darkness" this was working with the "swallow feeling"
but not with the breath so I decided to stop this journey attempt.
So here my questions:
1. After maybe 1 1/2 hours my right ear was hurting but after the session the hurt was gone - what was that?
2. Many people say they start into an oobe like starting in a dream with not an "awaken consciousness" but I think
this is too difficult to me and I think I should do oobe in my way. What do you think? Any suggestions?
3. MY MAIN QUESTION: is the feeling of suffocate normal? Nothing dangerous? And how can I solve this and relax and let it happen?
4. Is it possible that when my whole body is paralized that I cannot go out of my body or will I go out than?
(I do not want to lie there and think that I will die now...and have no chance to do anything)
This would help me a lot - I look forward to your help!
And hopefully we will meet us soon in some other dimensions :)
Kind regards
Andrew
Everything is normal.
You have to let go and it will automatically do the rest naturally.
Fear will stop your progress.
It's common to hear yourself snoring too.
Try again and let it happen.
Hello!
Thanks a lot for your help!
(I will be much "cooler" in my next try)
Now again a few questions...:
- so my consciousness is total normal as during the normal day but this is ok I will be able to travel?
- how long will it approx. take from the "breathfeeling cut" to leave the body?
- when I feel that I will leave my body how can I stay in the room near my physical body?
- any tips for beginners what to do at the first time?
Sorry for all these questions and thanks for your help!
Kind regards
Andrew
