My Progress

[darkdog302]

Hey all!

After practicing each day for the past two weeks, I have made a little bit of progress. My reports are a bit scattered throughout the forum, so I just wanted to compile a basic summary here. So far, it would appear that I have become very good at reaching a deep trance state. When I had very invasive sleep problems as a child my parents took me to a therapist who taught me different ways to practice meditation. This never really helped my issues sadly, but my sessions did give me a lot of practice with meditation from a young age. Anyway, after meditating each day I have reached a point where I can completely tune out everything around me.

For example, the other day as I was meditating my landline phone rang (which happened to be in the room adjacent to mine) and it's very loud. After that happened, one of my parents came home and slammed the door. I heard neither of these things, and only learned about them when I came downstairs after to find a message on my recorder that had come in just minutes before I came downstairs and my mom had just come in.

I've experienced different sensations each time that I meditate. Sometimes I see colors, and other times I feel vibrations. Other times I hear and see nothing but I feel like there is a lead blanket on my chest. I have yet to have a conscious projection. When I'm in a trance state I stay for what feels like about ten minutes but I'm usually "under" for an hour. After trying different exit techniques, trying nothing, reveling in the sensations and such, I still have yet to make any projection progress. I guess I will keep trying each day as I normally do, and continue my affirmations.
