Interesting Siesta!

[Eternal_Soulmate]

It was a typical Sunday afternoon in my new appartement...girlfriend working late shift and me myself and I working a bit on my PC till 18:00 because I felt a bit tired I decided having a short nap.
Went to bed, left my pull-over and socks on... I had meditation in mind with maybe an OBE but I didn't put my expectations too high...

So I layed on my side (because I can't sleep on my back) till I was on the edge of falling assleep... decided to turn on my back to see what would happen... I got to the stage were I didn't feel my body anymore quickly and started to "see" some early stage dream images... I was fully conscious but very relaxed so I tried to imagine all sorts of "dream-body" movements to get out...

* very heavy spinning
* "swimming" forwards
* levitating with imagin of actually getting out but when turned around I didn't see my body so I realized it was a false (dream maybe)
I even tought I actually got physically out of bed
* gravity push down with result of false (dream) touching the floor
* I even imagined hearing enya music which was very nice!

The reason why I am sure of the "false" is because I had an OBE once and I know that there are no doubts about being out or not... the strange thing is I almost believed that I was physically out... so I think I was not conscious enough... but it was very nice to visualize so freely... something that never happened to me

I felt a bit tired of visualizing so I decided to open my eyes and check the time... surprise I could not move! Because I didn't feel anything...I was completely not aware of my body (neck downwards)
I got rid of the paralysis by starting to wiggle a bit with one hand... stronger and stronger
Got up and when I checked the time it was 22:00!

(four hours had past!!!?)
I think I'm very close to exiting and I found a trick to get rid of the (move your body to fall asleep input) first lay on my side till I almost fall asleep and then move to my back... and let go with no expectations ... just lay back and watch and play!

Hi Eternal Soulmate

  I`ve been doing the things you describe in your post for the past several years and have had good success.I start on my side, drift close to being asleep, and then roll onto my back.It usually takes me about 30 to 40 minutes before I change position but it`s become almost automatic. All my attempts are in the afternoon so I agree with the nap aspect.I think the idea of a daily siesta is one of humanities best ideas! Aside from the physical details I completely agree with your take on letting go with no expectations. INMHO those are the two key elements to any successful projection.
   I think you`ve hit on a good technique that has worked well for me.

Happy Trails

Hey, I agree .....taking a nap is one of the best ways to project, just don't go all the way asleep!
