Hello again :) I just have a few more questions..
When you hit the vibrational state how long does it last?
Does anyone else experience their eyes twitching and are they any techniques that you use to make that stop? Yesterday I am convinced I got my "third eye" open but my eyes were twitching non stop eventually causing me to open them.
any insight will be great :)
Hello Stellina757,
The vibrational states can last anywhere from five seconds to what seems like a lifetime..: ) But honestly, you would be surprised that it only lasts for 15-30 seconds perceived at the time forever.
I have done video work with actual taping my physical body during an OBE. Documented on video right when the vibrations hit and upon awakening. For me personally, it is usually 10 seconds and then I am out of body.
Also, your eyes twitching are more likely the astral eyes, felt as physical. Again, having this "proof" of recording is a gold mind to a lot of answers "what happens during the spirit and physical during the obe" or "does my eyes twitch, which one spirit or physical"? - Going back once more, everytime that I have recorded my physical body during the OBE, there is very slight movement in my face and bodily limbs. But at the time when the vibes hit, it's a different story.
When you enter the trance state - please be passive and relaxed. Don't focus on "if I do this, it will be wrong" or "if I open my eyes, sneeze, outside noises that will wake me up". Keep a very clear and passive mind and go with the flow. Try to hold back excitement, which I know is difficult but lay low and be passive.
A whole new world awaits you!
Good Luck,
Dave
Thanks so much for your response David! Very helpful :) Last night I tried again and I believe I am getting ever so close I got past the eye twitching part and I started to feel by body going really numb and i felt my hands twitching but they were numb and I started to hear a ringing in my left ear. I felt so light. I think I need to do more research on how to actually exit my body. I feel like I may get to that state but then not know how to actually get my spirt body out.. sigh.. lol I will say this though at the very least it is very enjoyable to clear your mind and let your mind wander and I do get these awesome senstations that are sort of hard to explain they just feel good.
Hello Stellina, I have the eye twitches all the time. I have rectified this by using a cherry pit eye pillow. I used to get the twitches, then I would see a bright light and immediately I would open my eyes. It was quite bothersome, then I tried the eye pillow, first I put it on, then I open my eyes just to prove to myself that no light at all is getting in. Alot of my phasing technique had to be analyzed at first. I would come to a point where I would see something, then I would question, whether my eyes are open or moving etc. Now I still use the pit pillow, but when I begin the session, I immediately send my focus to my 3rd eye area. I learned to trust that things were really happening and have faith in that. Now I have become a good observer. I have seen quite a few unusual and disturbing things in the Astral, but they don't seem to bother me anymore. Frank Kepple is definitely spot on when he says to observe with no emotional attachment. Hopefully this helps you with your journeys.
Stellina757,
There are many excellent techniques out there for exiting the body clean. There are no right or wrong techniques and everyone has their specialty. As for using novelty items like special pillows, wearing a necklace or pointing east/west/north/south - it does not make no difference. I have tested all these old ancient claims and still been able to project under any circumstance. Even with dogs barking, light coming into my bedroom, tv on, sleeping in a car, airplane, facing any direction, what I ate, exercised, and so fourth. It does not make difference.
I did a three year study and tracked every food I ate, how much sleep leading up to the OBE, tracked the days, months, years statistically and it all comes down to one conclusion. "Your desire and fire to project".
Also, remember projecting is a never ending story up till physical death. There are no short-cuts or fast food drive throughway's, magic happy pill. Good ole time, patience, documenting and tracking. If it takes you three months to a year to project - stick it out and be patient. It will eventually happen!
Please read more of "Why I can't Project". This is just not directed to you but others in the board reading your post and thread.

Focus on "what works for you". You might have to by trial and error spend a year crafting your technique, but it will come.
For now, try the roll technique when you enter the trance state and you feel vibrations. Image your a tree log on the water, spinning faster and faster until you roll right out of the body. Be calm, relaxed and enjoy the spinning sensation. I execute this technique all the time and never has failed me. What your doing is deepening the level, the state, increasing the vibrations and exiting while in a spin motion out into the astral world. Once your there, don't be alarmed if your vision, there will be a brief darkness - eventually you will tune in and you will start seeing with your spirit eyes of the astral body....
After you master that - now it's time to take a BIG leap into the astral worlds... Of course, thats a whole different discussion and why we are here..: )
Enjoy,
DW
David my eye pillow is used to shut the light out. I live in the country and we have no need for curtains on the windows, so there is light in every room. I also do an afternoon session everyday, so light is everywhere. I also started using it so I could prove to myself that the lights I was seeing in the Astral, really were in the Astral. I read here about the eye twitches and the fact that alot of times people open their physical eyes accidently, if you have an eye pillow and you first check if no light can get into your view then you will never second guess what you are seeing in the Astral.
Hey Lionhart,
I must have mis-read your post earlier, my apologies. What I was stating is that many people buy into gizmo's that think they need as a crutch to help project, but in actuality it's just novelty, etc..
I have an eye-pillow myself and every so often I will use it in the morning. So I can concur with what you are explaining. I have filmed about 10 videos capturing my physical body during the OBE. I have noticed a few times that my eyes would briefly open but not long enough. We are talking milliseconds and then shut. All my experiences occur late morning hours and at that time, I expect it to be lighted in the astral. Sometimes, that is not the case and it's dark or when I am projecting at night time it is lighted. Its all what the mind makes up and wants to create at that moment in time or what I think it should be. Sometimes, thats a little tricky and easily can be fooled so its hard to decipher night and day. The astral world follows no rules when it comes to creating that I have found. The best thing you can do is question and challenge at that time...
Even after all these years of projecting, I am a sucker and always get blinded with false awakenings. Go figure..: )

Great additional information David! I will check that thread. Thanks for taking time out of your day to share with me. :) I really am so glad I found this community.
