whats happening

Hi Mike17,

Welcome to the Astral Pulse forums! It sure sounds like you had some classic obe sensations in your description. You did appear to have some separation as well. Thing is, fear tends to get in the way, and it does occur to a lot of folk. Take a look at a topic by James S  in our Welcome to Permanent Astral Topics forum entitled Reasons why OBE's should NOT be feared. It is a good thread with helpful advice. []

Very best.

Sounds like a classical OBE to me.  Congratulations!

Now that you have experienced it, it is easier to repeat.  The fear is normal, but unjustified.  You OBE when you dream, so your body is used to it.  

I remember times when I was first OBEing, I would barely wake up from a dream.  I could usually hear what was going on, but I couldn't move or see.  Talk about Panic attacks!!!  I could control my breathing;  I would wake myself up by breathing rapidly.  I was actually fighting myself OBEing (dam pre-internet!!!).  I eventually had some success "rolling out of bed" but I always had a problem "seeing" until I learned to build power first (or during later on).

Read!  There are excellant guides and tutorials on the subject on this sight, as well as experienced people to aid you.  You have had valid experiences, the hardest part is past, now you just have to work at it []

WOW< how exciting,

I havent been able to emulate the sensation again, but i really want to now, sounds like a kick butt experiance,

do certain types of music help, cos on the night of paralysis, i was listing to streaming audio, of summin called Plaedian Dreams, so if i was to get a CD and listen to it while asleep, would this help me along.

(BTW thanx for the replies, i dont feel strange ne more)

I'm a healer and a teacher (and a warrior, but thats for another day).

Everyone is different.  While we may talk of Wicca, Witches, Magic(k), Shamanism, Pagenism, Idolism, Tokenism, Metaphysics, Psionics, or plain old fashion religion, it's really different ways to do teh same thing.

Music helps many people.  Not rock or rap or something from the top 100 list.  Instumentals and some 'new age' music usually helps.  Native American chants strike a chord in me, but then so do Whale songs.

When you get to full paralysis, start doing deep breaths. It will pop you out of body 100% of the time.

Thanx for the info guys.

I am gonna pick a few techniques and try them over the next few months/weeks, i dont know how long it will take, but damnit i am gonn leave my body (never say that in a public place ).

BTW do we all go to the same plane, or do we see them different, or are they created by our minds, either way, this is the most fascinating thing ever

Talk to u guys soon

Hi guys, i am new to this, but perhaps you can help.

A while ago, i was asleep and when i woke up, my eyes dint open but i was definatley awake, i swear i was at about a 30 degree angle, with my head detached and my feet on the ground, i remeber feeling extremely frightned, but i dont know why, i mean my heart was really going, so i there was a loud humming in my ears, after about 5-6 seconds, i was back on the ground (how weird does that sound) but i couldnt move myslef, well not totally, my body felt extremely heavy and was almost impossible to move at all, apart from maybe curling my fingers a little

What was this, (the gateway to an OBE maybe and why was i so scared?)
