Hello to everyone, I'm 19 years old male from Canada . I randomly came across a video on astral projection about a month ago and ever since then I started reading and trying to learn how to achieve it. I'm getting better and better at it each time I try . I'm a type a person that gets bored of stuff easily but to have this experience I will not give up untill I die :) <- well when i die i will have it . Haha its a win win situation . Anyways just wanted to say hello to everyone and I hope you guys will enjoy my company
Canada!! My favourite country. :)
Welcome to the Astral Pulse fellow Canadian!
Thanks :) Canada EH ...
Welcome from a newbie :)
I think one the things that a lot of books and stuff leave out is the amount of "failed" or "near miss" attempts that occur. I think they gloss over these because they are not as interesting as the actual "successful" ones and also get left out because they are not tracked by the person as readily. I read somewhere, I think it was here, about someone's success statistics and it was an average of 1 or 2 successes per week. So if you tried every day and got 1 per week.. that's still not even 20% sucess rate... :D
The purpose of highlighting this is to say, "Hey! It's not going to happen overnight and even when you do 'get it', it may not happen again every day thereafter.".. It's certainly clear that regular OBE'ers say it becomes easier.. but it's equally clear that it isn't something that the majority of them can pull off in the blink of an eye on EVERY occasion they try.
One author I was reading says that he wakes up, relieves himself (so there is no full bladder distractions.. hehe), drinks a cup of coffee and basically "wakes" for about 30mins, then goes back to bed and makes his first attempt. He tries for about 15 to 20mins and if it doesn't work, he lets himself fall asleep.. then when he wakes a little bit later, tries again for 15 to 20mins and if nothing, tries again after a short nap for a 3rd time. If the 3rd attempt fails, he gives up for that day. He says that he is usually successful on the 2nd or 3rd attempt and hardly ever on the first attempt. There are many reasons for this and a lot of discussion could be spent on the subject but the point I am making here is that even this regular OBE'er admits that he sometimes can not succeed even with "perfect", "tried and true" methods. It's just a matter of keep trying.. again and again :D

:NoY:
thanks light for the reply , I been trying to do it for a month straight no success yet but ill keep trying im going to take today and tomorrow off tho to see how that works out . I also heard masturbation is bad if you want to have a obe because it takes a lot of energy so try to stay away from that hopefully i will have results soon im not giving up though
I'm not truly sure about whether or not sexual release through masturbation would be of detriment. That is a rather Taoist view and one brought through from the east to some western belief systems whereby if you are not receiving the sexual energy from a partner through engaging in sexual intercourse to bring about your orgasm, then your energy is being "lost".. I don't really believe in that. I think that through sexual release you can heighten your vibrations and also get yourself into an extremely relaxed state. If you're particularly aroused sexually, then it can be a distraction.. so you might want to get rid of that before attempting, any way you can. One thing you might want to do when doing that though, is try not to fantasise too much while doing it. Enjoy the feeling and try to mentalise it.. drawing yourself deeper into yourself.. but try to resist daydreaming/fantasising as much as possible, to get the release. Treat it as a part of a 'relaxation technique'..
