Bizzare spontaneous experience last night.

[Boom]

So last night I was staying in a hotel, and was nervous about some stuff going on today so had a lot going off in my head and was struggling to sleep.

Anyway I eventually started to think of nicer things and I then I found myself in quite an interesting experience.

I'd been discussing auras with my wife and energy fields, and for some reason I started thinking about physical levitation. I was still very conscious and aware that this point.  Suddenly I felt myself rising up.. Well some of me rising up  My legs and body tilting up, but I was anchored to my head.  Despite my non physical feet being high in the air at some 70 degree angle it actually felt rather comfortable.
Being fully aware I realised it was some kind of spontaneous OBE, but couldnt understand why my head was stuck when the rest of me was getting out.  So I relaxed further.  I  could hear myself breathing very loudly, but wasn't concious of myself actually breathing. It was on autopilot.  Interestingly when you think about breathing in physical, you find yourself having to manually do it.  Now youre reading this, youre manually breathing arent you?

Anyway as i relaxed further I started feeling a real pressure around my head which just got greater and greater. In particular I could feel immense pressure around my jaw and teeth. To the point it started feeling very uncomfortable and I could really feel all my teeth without actually touching them. It was stronger and stronger to the point where like something was going to break or be crushed.   Being aware, i realised that nothing physical was going on here and so nothing can be damaged. So I kept with it, and didnt feel fear and just tried to keep relaxed and see if I could figure out how to turn this into a full OBE.

Unfortunately my wife at the side of me then decided to roll over which alerted me and I snapped out of it and ended up back in the physical. I remained still in the hope of getting it back but I didn't.

Anyway, just thought I'd share that one. As it was a bit strange. Be interesting to hear if anyone has any advice, similar stories, information, causes etc?    I've had the being stuck feeling before but never from my head. Usually I feel like I can sit up but cant get my legs out when OBE'ing.

Yeah I had a similar thing happen to me back in the day. I was stuck from the back of my neck and had an immense pain but kept boosting up energy until I ripped free -- it actually hurt while out of body for a few minutes. After that exiting was much more easier and it never happened again. If you OBE normally I wouldn't think this should be happening, but if you're an OBE virgin I think it can be normal.

Some people would say it's due to energy blockages, yada yada. I don't really know. The key is to raise energy while remaining calm. I don't know if raising energy comes natural to everyone... so what do I mean... Well as I sit here I can focus say someone calling my wife a bad name and having to beat them up. I can feel the CNS amp up and the hairs on my body raise... this happens to me with music and high spiritual thoughts as well. It's the same thing I do in the astral to raise energy.

Only when I do it in the astral it's like a tidal wave of force, it's a different experience but same technique. So if you get stuck again just do that and keep pushing. The first few times it may not work, if you boost to much you'll end up shooting into the astral rather than OBE land.

EDIT: Oh the only other thing I can think of is don't wear jewelry or have any metallic objects on you. It doesn't always matter but they can cause you to get stuck or actually hurt while exiting.
