AP on your side?

[Bellend_1010]

K about AP positioning: is it just as possible to astral project from being on your side? seems to me alot of people who AP try and attempt to achieve this while being on their back. Can you try and induce an AP while commonly going to bed on your side? (before actually trying to sleep)

Also if it possible; is there a technique that tends to work better for people trying on their side? thx.

It works best for me if I am on one side or the other.  On my back, I tend to have trouble breathing in an OOBE.

I project reclined.  On my right side I have weird bilocation or dweller experiences.  On the left side I have never had any kind of expanded awareness experience.  Just sleep.  On my back I either project or get dweller experiences, I never know what to expect.

It seems to me a very individual thing and probably different night to night.

I usually try from on my back, although several times I've given up from that position, rolled over onto either side and almost instantly started up with the vibrations and lifted out moments later...go figure.

I think the recliner may be the hot ticket, though I'm not currently set up for that. Mine's in the garage.

I attempt AP on my back, and sleep on my side. Maybe I should start sleeping on my back though...it makes a lot more sense.

When I quit trying to AP on my back, I roll over on my side and fall asleep pretty fast. But it's like I'm giving up. So if I were to fall asleep on my back...

"Can you try and induce an AP while commonly going to bed on your side?"

Yes on your side works if that's how you are comfortable. I do have more success while on my side as well. It also seems that when Im on my sides the vibrations feel stronger, I wouldn't know why that is though. I wouldn't have noticed I had better success on my side if it wasn't for the couch. On my couch I have to sleep on my sides (usually do this to take a nap and sometimes for the night) and I began to wonder why I had the most success while being on my couch. I then realized it was because Im able to relax more fully and quicker while on my sides for whatever reason. Good Luck.

Position shouldn't matter too much...

One tip though is that don't use a position in which you generally fall asleep in... as your body, while lying in that particular position will signal to your mind that it's lights out time.
What you really want to do is pick a position that is comfortable, but you don't generally sleep in.  This should help in keeping your mind awake.
