i keep getting stuck?

[abhimanyu]

Hello

i have been interested in APing for a few months, and recently i have been making some sort of progress, but seem to be getting stuck or something.
i have a routine that involves waking early in the morning, taking a shower, then mantra meditating for around two hours, near the end of mantra meditation i will usually be quite drowsy, and quite relaxed.  i use this opportunity to take a nap that segways into vibrations very quickly.  i feel as if i am floating above my body, hear voices and conversations, and sometimes have limited vision. Also i have been feeling very strong "pulling" sensations, like someone is trying to pull me out of my physical body by my feet, or times when it feels as if someone else is moving around my astral limbs. (like having opposing magnets in each hand and trying to push them together)

this can happen once or twice every morning if i follow the routine.

the problem is that i can move around to a certain extent, but seem to be stuck to my physical body every time. i can roll, but only to a certain degree.
i do not believe that i am APing, but think i am quite close.  these experiences always end pretty quickly, and when they do i feel myself "settling" back into my body.

has anyone had similar experiences or got any advice/info as to what exactly is going on?

any help would be greatly appreciated!

You are almost there

All you need to do is stay calm and curious when these sensations and sounds are happening, wait a bit, till everything goes dead silent and then will yourself away from the bed (without thinking about the actual body, else you will be back there).

Even if the sensations don't subside, still try to will yourself away. Once you are away (say in another room), you can try for visuals. (Best way is to try to see your hands).

You will see that the 'will to move' operates from the area of belly button.
Good luck ....
