Hi All,
I have been telling a friend about my experiences and he always joked with me about the idea. He woke up earlier than expected this morning and tried it. He said soon his ears popped and had really strong vibrations go through his body. He got scared so he stopped.
Just a question, Does anyone remember their first separation?
Did everyone get the vibrations at the start accompanied by ear poppings?
Cheers,
Maple
Vibrations yes, ear popping no.

I had the ears popping but no vibrations that I can recall. There was also an exceptionally loud 'roar' in my ear. My heart also seemed to be ready to explode it was beating so strongly.
I remember thinking that, despite the deafening noise and my racing heart, everything else seemed normal and I seemed to be just lying normally on my stomach on the bed. I started rolling sideways, thinking all the while 'this is stupid, I'm just going to fall off the end'. When I did reach the end I didn't fall but rather floated like a feather. The top half of me landed first and then the rest, slowly, as if I was made of mist. It was only then that I accepted that I was out of body.
I remember being blind as a bat at the time, and quite scared. Then, sadly, it ended.
When I had my 1st separation, I did not even know what AP was. I was going through a dark period in my life and knew there was a better way to live life than the way I had been living it. One night while falling asleep, I kept repeating to myself "The universe will take care of me.....The universe will take care of me." Before I knew it I got the vibes and I thought I was going to die (Vibes can be scary especially when you have no idea why they are there). I got out and thought maybe I was dead, but it was a calm feeling and I was floating through space. Floating in the stars. Eventually I must have returned to my body cause I woke up in the morning. Felt refreshed and googled my experience which led me to delve deeper in to this mysterious dimension.
Taken from my journal:
Number 1 - 21 June 2003
Started lucid dreaming. It was sexually explicit. After a while, my shoulders felt cold, so I used my astral arms to tuck the blanket round them. While I was doing this, I became aware of it, and aware my physical arms weren't moving, and realised what was happening.
It dawned on me that I could fly in this state. I decided to get out of the house and fly. I don't recall actually getting out of the chair, but my next awareness is trying to walk behind the settee going towards the French windows. Walking was a very strange experience, as my feet couldn't actually feel the floor. My legs felt very swollen, but I knew if I put one leg in front of the other, I would get there. I remembered that I shouldn't look back at myself sleeping, nor look at the clock on the mantelpiece, in case I saw my reflection through the glass. All of a sudden, I was back in my body, still "asleep", still able to think.
Once again, I don't recall getting off the chair, but walking was easier this time. I got to the French windows and had one hand on the door handle, one hand on the key ready to unlock it. Just then, I heard footsteps outside, along the patio just beyond the French windows. I froze. My worry was if G looked in, what he would see, so I kept very still, hoping that if he did look in, he wouldn't see the astral me. The footsteps didn't go away, neither did they stop, but just kept the same volume and pace until I was back in my body again. I slowly woke up.
Vibrations - no. Ear popping - no.

Wow those are really interesting reads. Thanks for sharing your experiences. All the feelings and sensations that you have shared are the same ones that i have felt and also my friend. It is a frightening experience at first!!!!
Although I am relatively new at this I can partly induce the body asleep, mind awake part but still unable to separate from my physical body.
I had another experience Saturday morning (I live in Melbourne, Australia). I woke up in the morning and decided to attempt AP. I closed my eyes and repeated the words Body asleep, Mind Awake as suggested from another post which I read here. Soon I felt my conscious mind fall deep within and experienced complete paralysis of my body. I consciously made an effort to open my eyes but could not.
But reaching this state had no vibrations. I then attempted separation, deciding to choose my head first.
Then woke up..... which was a shame.......
Oh well I will keep trying until i get it.
