Hello to everyone! I have been reading posts from this page for the last days and today i finally got my account validated so i can post (which i have been really looking forward to). I have been interested in OBE for allmost a year, in which i have tried countless times to have a succesfull OBE. However, i never did achieve one (i will keep trying). Nevertheless, i have had different feelings, and experiences which i would like to comment here in order for those of you who have experience something similar or achieved a full OVE give me advice and their oppinions regarding how far i am (in terms of if i am near achieving an OVE).
1) While trying to AP, i have reached a point where without any audio (at first i did it with Hemy Sinc and others) i get in a matter of 10 minutes to the point where (obviolusly with my eyes closed) images start to appear as if i were seeing them with my open eyes. A lot of times what i saw was like a TV screen displaying some random scene (for example two random dudes talking, or a beach or whatever).
There are other times (lastly it is mostly this that i see), that i do not see a screen, and rather i see the whole blackness turn into something. For example there was i time in which i was seeing my kitchen from above and could move around it (nevertheless, as with the TV screen, it dissapeared after several seconds). What happens most times recently is that i see some place random from above, like i was seeing a floor, in the same way as the kitchen (it may be some room i know, i havent really got the point to recognize where does that floor belong to).
2) There was one time that i think i was really close to achieving an OVE. I was in my bed with the intent to AP, and a few seconds after a laid down i started seeing (with my eyes closed), a road. And through this road there was a being that was walking (it was from far above that i was seeing, i just saw something moving through the road, cant really tell what it was). At this point, the image didnt dissapear as it usually does when i focus on it, and i started to feel like i was fastly going to the scene (loosing fastly all senses from my body). Sadly, i panicked because i couldnt feel my body at all and tried to move my body, which i did after a few seconds and that is were the whole scene dissapeard. Now that i know that there wasnt any reason for fear i regret doing that because i could have had what i was searching for, a full OVE, but i think that i will have the chance again.
That is all, i think that my problem at this poing is mostly that when i start seeing something i focus on it directly and it dissapears. I would like if someone could give me any advice or comment something regarding my experiences.
Hello and Welcome to the Astral pulse! :-)
It sounds to me like you are dong fine. Keep doing what you are doing. Practice often. Even a couple of minutes a day, just shutting your eyes and seeing what's there helps quite a bit.
Soon you will just "BE" in these scenes. For now though, passively observe them with an air of curiosity and allow them to morph. You will find that this will cause them to become more vivid and in no time you will be deep inside of them.
Then comes the fun part, "Exploration"! :wink:
Good Luck and Safe Travels! :-)
Welcome to the forum.
I like what you said Lionheart. That is really good encouragement. It makes me feel I would like to practice now.
Greetings and welcome ivantam92
Everyone progresses at a different rate. Some people can project out of body naturally and really don't need to try. For others it is somewhat harder and a measure of time and effort is needed. And other people find it quite difficult. It might take these people several weeks or months before they manage their first OBE. So try to be patient and don't quit, even if it takes several weeks.
Good luck 8-)

Hi Ivan. Welcome to the Pulse.
You are doing very well. I made a topic that will interest you. What you are doing is ok. You must forget about your body. That is important. You need to get to a point where it has gone.
You already have done this and nearly had an OBE.
Have a read and you will see how well you have done so far.

Thank you a lot to you all for your encougrament and support! I will keep trying until i succed. Also, i want to tell you about a new experience that happened to me. Yesterday when i went to sleep and tryed to AP, at a point i started to feel as thought i was floating (i wasnt exactly floating in the air, but the sensation i felt was sort of similar to that o being floating). Anyway, the floating sensation wasnt anything new, since i had experienced siimilar fealings in the past. The new thing happened after that. At some point i realized that i have been talking to someone mentally for the past several minutes. It was like i though something, and in front of me,white letters appeared (i saw all blackness except from a sentence writen with white letters in the middle of the blackness big enough for me to easily read them) answering what i had just said, and i answered that thinking afterwards, and the letters appeared again answering what i said. For a while i had this conversation without noticing i was doing it, but at some point, i gained awareness of what was happening (that my thoughts were being answered in words by something, not like when you think you hear something but rather seeing the actual words with extreme clarity) and felt something that can be described as the presence of he who was answering my thoughts. At that moment however, the fact of realizing that, sort of shocked me a bit and zapped back my contiousness into me being in my bed and the words stopped to appear. After that i really cant remember what the conversation was about or what the words said, but i clearly remember the situation. This got me to think that maybe i was talking to some sort of guide. I am looking forward on hearing what you all think regarding what happened to me.
Having said that, thanks to you all in advance for reading my post and sorry if my english has problems, as it is not my native language.
