I'd say you are close.  Keep working at it, you are going in the right direction.

Relax.  Pay less attention to your surroundings.  Concentrate on your wordless intent.  breathe deeply to bring about a falling sensation.

Yes pay attention to the breathing feel it rise and fall and also you can try and synchronise it with your heartbeat. That was a very good point K, let everything surrounding you drigt away and pay no attention, the key is also relaxation and visualising where you wish to go.

Thanks for the quick replies!  I did start deep breathing in this attempt (which I might add I started awhile in, making me think that perhaps these sensations would have came earlier if I started deep breathing earlier), I didn't pay attention to my surroundings because I was involved with my visualization.  Thank you anyways though for your comments.  Also I forgot to say that I stopped my technique temporarily to passively observe the sensations, do you think that could have had a detremental affect?

Last night I think I came very close to OBEing.  I tried the LifeLine Technique from the OBE Discussion Board.  I first heard a bwop bwop or computer generated heart beat rather than a bump bump heart beat.  I believe it got faster causing more of an eighteen wheeler next to you on the highway noise which lasted until I was disturbed by the furnace turing on.  I think it was still there but it wasn't audible over the furnace.  Once the furnace was ready I could here the bwop bwop again for a bit.  Then I got sort of slow vibrations that wore off after a bit.  These were all sensations I have previously experienced, differently before though (the vibrations were faster before, the eighteen wheeler noise and bwop bwop nosie lasted only a short while)and only once before.  I then experienced a swaying sensation from side to side.  I however was interupted shortly after the swaying and couldn't continue.  This over all took about 45 minutes but felt like only 15-20 minutes.
So does anyone have any comments?
Would you say I'm close to OBEing?
