Very determined to achieve an OBE

[Vapestral]

This caught my interest after reading a lengthy thread in another forum. I've been reading up on it ever since. I just started meditating daily and have been trying to induce sleep paralysis every night before bed. I feel like I'm getting closer every time but I seem to be getting stuck at a certain point.

While laying down after about 15-20 minutes my body goes numb then I start getting these very intense tingling pulses through my entire body. (The tingling happens to me almost immediately when I meditate and I soon realized I can do this on command by rolling my eyes into the back of my head) I've tried to search to find answers about what this may be and am hoping someone else knows what this is. (Vibrations?)

Once I start feeling this tingling feeling all over my body I start visualizing strange flashes and it gets difficult to keep my eyes closed while being relaxed at the same time(its almost like I have to squint to keep my eyes closed). At this point I am breathing harder and my heart is pounding.. probably from excitement.

This is all so new and exciting to me and would appreciate some pointers.

I also did read this very informative thread http://www.astralpulse.com/forums/welcome_to_astral_consciousness/the_steps_to_success_in_your_first_projections-t33998.0.html

I also just started listening to "The Gateway Experience" series before bed.

You are indeed on the right track, yes the tingling sensation is what is called vibrations and the flashes in your eyes is what is called hypnagogic imagery. It precedes an OBE state. Using a binaural beat with certainly help you but may I suggest that you attempt you OBE after waking up early in the morning like 4AM. You can attempt anytime actually but in the morning, there are many variables in your favour. Being anxious can hinder your OBE greatly so I suggest you calm yourself and remain a passive observer. And again lots and lots of meditation.
Congratulations.
Good luck and safe travels.
