Advice? Thoughts on no cord?

[SatelliteSam]

Hey every one! I'm brand new to the astral pulse forums, so it's nice to meet you all. About a month ago I had my first conscious OBE experience. What is bothering me about it is that I had no cord and I was not floating around. What basically happened is that my mind woke up early in the morning, but my body was in paralysis, so I instinctively thought about getting up, but found that it was really hard. I eventually struggled all the way up and after what felt like an entire minute i was able to stand up. I was amazed when I looked down at my body and then realized I was projecting. The only problems were that I was not floating (I was basically standing on my bed), my astral body felt super heavy and almost shell-like because it felt hollow, and also I couldn't see any silver cord. I could see my entire room, but it felt like I was seeing with my mind and not my eyes. When I tried to open my eyes really hard on my astral body I ended up opening my physical eyes and I woke up to see that my room was exactly as I had seen it in the projection. Any advice on what happened, or what this means? Was I even actually projecting? Any advice on how to project again, or what to do the next time I project would be greatly appreciated!

It has the hallmarks of a projection. Try to move away from the physical body. The clarity increases the further you go and 30 feet+ is perfect.
The chord isn't important, its a belief construct. When you are more proficient you'll be able to see one if you think about it. Thoughts manifest.
Keep going as you are making progress.

Thanks Szaxx, I appreciate the reply a lot! I'll make sure to keep that in my mind the next time that it happens and walk further away from my body. Hopefully it happens again soon

I actually had a similar experience recently I posted up on my YouTube channel.  Very low energy Projection where I couldn't even lift myself off the floor, let alone get 30 feet away. I typically get out when the vibrations reach a pitch in frequency and smooth out. This time I jumped out when they were still jagged and harsh. I wonder if that had something to do with the low energy. As for the cord, I agree. I have never seen a cord. It is belief driven. Nothing to worry about if you don't see one. Monroe projected for decades and I don't recall him ever talking about the silver cord.
