A few questions on Astral Projection

[The Deer]

Hey All,

I've been reading the posts on the site for a few days now and it seemed to be a pretty supportive environment.

I've been trying to AP for close to four months now, but to no avail. I've reached (or think I've reached) the Focus 10 state, but I'm having trouble telling, because I don't feel the "vibrations" that I've been reading about, nor have I hear any cracks, pops or fizzles. On rare occasions (twice) I've felt as if my body was "bent" away from the straight position that I began in.  

I've tried using many different audio files/programs, but nothing seems to be able to help me get past the "numb body" state. If there are any free audio files that anyone is aware of, I'd appreciate any suggestions.

So now that the background stuff is all out of the way, here are my questions

1. After being in (what i believed to be) mind awake/body asleep state, and i try to exit my body, I just end up still being in the physical. I've tried different exit methods, such as mental/written mantras and the "Rope" technique, but nothings doing. Same deal with opening my "astral eyes". I just open my physical eyes and the state fizzles away Do i need to deepen my state of consciousness or is there a "better" technique that I've missed?

2. I've read that having the room pitch black is not advisable. I don't mean to say that you should beam a halogen lamp on your bed, but I read that the room should be dimly lit. Any truth to this? I ask because a) I prefer the dark and b) I really get a reaming by the parental units for leaving a light on all night.

3. What exactly IS phasing? This has been the only place where I've heard the term used.

4. My room has lots of electronic equipment in it, but at night it all goes off. Is it possible that all the cables and whatnot cause electric disturbance (Therefore hindering the projection attempt?)

5. I had more questions, but they've eluded me for the moment.


When (if) I remember the other questions I had, I'll be sure to post them.

Thanks very much to whomever replies!

OOH! I rememberd the other question i had just after i posted.

It was this:

Quite often during meditation, I'll get itches which eventually go away if I ignore em long enough but the killer thing is that if i stay in a trance for about an hour, my legs feel this need to move. I dunno if have RLS or if it's an astral clue that i'm missing. In any case, I don't know what to do when that happens and thinking about it ruins the stateofmind

Thanks again,

-Deer
