Something bit me!

[attenergy]

Hi Everyone,

I would like to describe what happened last night and see if there have been similar experiences.  So...

I was physically laying face down, felt the vibes, then separated slightly.  My astral body was maybe 2 inches above my physical when I felt 'something' crawling over my right arm (couldn't tell if it was my astral or my physical)...it felt like my cat, but my cat doesn't sleep with me and my bedroom door was shut.  I shifted so I wouldn't be walked on anymore, then something bit my left thumb (which was under my pillow).  It hurt!...such that I popped back in my physical and got up.

I checked and my cat was definitely in the other room and awake.

I've never been attacked before so I thought I would share and see if anyone had any feedback for me.

Maybe your cat can project too! Or maybe it channels other cat spirits - evil ones.. I'm just saying this because I've seen my cats do some odd things... Like projecting to my other house while I'm there and having an OBE.

There's often the sense of another presence in the room just as you are 'separating'.. If you don't ignore it, it can develop into a kind of nightmare-like attack (no harm comes, of course, it's just scary..). Once you get out of body you can't see it, so I don't think it's really there.

Hi dingo,

I've felt that presence before...I think it's myself I am feeling..hehe.  I've never been worried about that.

As for the cat thing...interesting.  So you've run into your kitty while you were out huh?  Well...my cat is kind of a biter so it wouldn't surprise me if it was him.

I've heard lots of people say that's what they think the presence is, but I can't quite understand it. Why should I have two presences - one feeling quite evil? I just usually pass it off as hypnagogia... (I have however had a number of encounters with 'evil spirits' that stemmed from the sense of that presence and I think that would be projecting my fears of that presence into the astral)

I'm out of ideas.

I think that once you separate and you are in the same room with yourself, there is a kind of feedback loop that happens.  It's like a split awareness where you are aware and can feel your physical while feeling the astral at the same time.

I have found that the feedback loop decreases the farther away from the physical you get.

You're right about projecting those fears though...that can get messy   :nervous:

Thanks for clearing that up for me.

Odd.. Last night I felt my cat rub against my left foot while I was trying to AP. She was locked out of the room, and ten minutes before she had been scratching at the door desperately trying to get in...

Hi, I often get that feeling someone is present as I'm paralysed and separating, however 3 times now an entity has been there and one of them attacked me. The first time I felt a presence I saw a feminine entity standing in orange robes, she appeared to be monitoring or analysing my physical body with some small device, I was unable to communicate with her. The next time I felt a presence above me as I was trying to separate and this entity pulled me free from my body and into what felt like a tornado, but that was fun. The last time there was a small creature at the side of my bed wearing tatty black and gray rags with a hood, I stared at it for a while telling myself not to fear it. I then tried to touch it with an astral leg and it lashed out at it with a clawed, decayed arm! I sort of yelled a silent yell with shock and it laughed at me with a horrible slow deep tone. I forced myself awake then felt a dull ache in my leg. It was not very pleasant but no real pain was experienced.

Sort of like Dobby with an attitude?
Sorry, don't have anything to offer other than try some psychic self defense...

[attenergy]

Psychic self defense works for me.  

Before I AP, part of my trance work is working with white light.  I typically don't have any issues, but it seems like the light attracts 'attention'.

If I happen to encounter anyone that I don't feel comfy with...I blast em with white light....works every time.

Kye...do you use this in your AP practice?

[Kye]

Hi Att, no I've never used any type of self defence, I've only encountered that one negative entity in my own realm (the midget grim reaper!) so I've not really worried about it, if I come across another dodgey one in the future I'll give the white light thing a try, regards..

The last time I went into trance I felt two small pinches on both my arms.. didn't really hurt or bother me but it seemed like something bit me... I didn't really sense an entity though.
