I dont understand this exit stuff. When u try the "roll over technique", do u actually attempt to roll over with ur physical. And when u do a roll over do u open ur eyes in ur physical or imagine opening ur eyes. Ive had plenty of virations but i keep on making mistakes in my exit.
Oh, and im also wondering how long it takes to get vibrations, because for me it feels to long, 1 hour! If u get vibes in a shorter time, pls tell me how..
Thx
You will start getting vibes in a shorter time eventually, it's all about practice.
When trying any exit techniques, you should be relaxed enough not to feel and use your physical body at all. Also, leave your eyes closed if they were closed before not to distract you.
What is more - while trying to exit you shouldn't get excited or worried about the technique. I think it is a good idea to read a lot about APing and exiting during the day, so that you tune your mind into this stuff, and, when it comes to actual exiting, you will just do it instinctively. One of the main thing is not to focus too hard.
I hope this helps. :smile:

I dont get this. How will i open my eyes with my astral body?
I dont mean to sound like i take ur reply for granted, but it didn't help. It doesn't come instinctively, i always mess up.
As far as I understand, you've just started APing. Skills will come with time, don't hurry.
About opening eyes - astral vision is not like you are seeing everything now. You don't have actual eyelids to open there.
In the beginning you'll probably encounter what is called "astral blindness" - everything is black or very blurry. At this point relax, don't rush the process. When you are calm, say in mind something like "Clearness now!" - demand to see.If everything goes ok, your vision will clear up and you will see everything.
If you try opening your eyes, you might end up just getting tense with efforts and opening your physical eyes, thus ending your OBE.
hmm, ok well thanks for ur reply.
Usually the vibrational stage also sees body paralysis (sleep paralysis). Sometimes I'm not paralysed when I feel the start of the vibrations, but as they hit I feel like I'm sinking into myself and am then fully paralysed.
I usually wait until the vibrations are pretty intense (I've found that simply focusing on breathing can increase them a lot more than willing them stronger) – although sometimes I think I try and get out too soon – and then I roll over. It does feel like the physical body is rolling, and sometimes I worry that I have actually rolled off the bed (although the paralysis stops this happening). A lot of the time I'm on my hands and knees on the floor with no sight and distant sensory perception, but as I crawl away from my body things become a lot more solid, until I have full vision and tactile sensations.
I don't always roll, sometimes I use visualisations such as there being a ladder over my body and I pull myself up a rung at a time – really feeling my 'muscles' strain as I pull one hand after the other. It seems focusing on a technique (usually tactile visualisations are easier for most) to the exclusion of the body is quite a successful method of getting out.
As I've said many times, the best method is different for each individual. :smile:
Absolutely, Vilkate. :grin:
My first time I got lucky and just thought of floating and I did, right up to the ceiling. Then I thought, "Now how do I move?". I started a breast stroke motion and I was off to the races! :lol:
Don't worry, you'll develop your own technique in time!
For me, tactile sensations come first. I can feel the bedroom wall quite well before I begin to see clearly. Vision is dim and grey-like to begin with. To improve vision I simply concentrate on "seeing". I do this by scrutinising whatever there is to observe in front of me, and the more I "scrutinise" the clearer vision becomes. If I try to open my eyes, I run the risk of opening my physical eyes, so I don't recommend this. I just focus on seeing and vision comes in. Vision is a mental feat, it's not a matter of opening eyes... (imo).
What I do is when I'm in Sleep-Paralysis, I am imagine what it feels like to roll-over and that usually triggers my exit. About my vision, that just comes on it own. If it starts out dark, I usually just will my vision. Either I want to have vision (That is my focus, I just try very hard to see in the darkness), or I'll think "I need vision, and I need it to be clear.... clearer... clearer!!... ok that's good".

Hey catmeow,
This sounds pretty much like it is with me. It almost feels that if I don't focus on the sensations they would fade out and the OBE would end (this is just after exit where things feel a bit 'dim').

Me too, I have to work a bit after exiting to bring in the senses, otherwise it can all just fade away..... :cry: Also once I leave my bedroom things almost always clear up and the grey vision is replaced with colour vision. For some reason it's always grey in my bedroom!
