clicking or popping?

[dino333]

i haven't AP'd yet either. I make it to where my AP form? is vibrating. My hands REALLY feel weird but that's as far as I get.

I often get the same "popping" in my nose (although it wasn't so loud as to make me think I had projected). I never thought it was anything special happening, I just ignored it.

The only two times I have managed to OBE, it was preceeded by a loud popping in my head area........

When I started practising I always got a clicking noise coming from inside the bridge of my nose. I just put it down to the fact that my nose was broken years previously. I would be interested to hear any theories on how these noises may be related to projection attempts.

Blossom,

I'm pretty sure your popping was unrelated to what we're talking about. I think what you experience has something to do with your pineal gland in your brain. I've had that happen once, although I don't recall any projection, but it's a very distinct pop when it happens.

You are probably right about my popping.  But I did do some more reading and in "New Energy Ways", this is what I found.  It is probably more related to what your subject matter actually is...

==================================
Energy Exchange Ports:

Energy exchange ports (tertiary system) are tiny pore like energy centres with very simple functions. These are much like the millions of tiny pores and hairs covering the skin of the human body. Their basic function is to absorb and discharge energies; and on a higher level to detect energy. The whole surface of the skin is lightly covered with these, but they are heavily concentrated in several main areas.

Soles of the feet
Palms of the hands
Nasal passages and lungs
Lips, mouth and tongue
Genitals

The hands and feet are the largest energy conduits into the body and thus contain heavier concentrations of energy exchange ports. These are, therefore, the most important areas to stimulate, develop and make awareness sensitive, during early development exercises.
==================================

Maybe when the energy exchange port in the nasal area was properly stimulated a "pop" occured when it opened...

Oh, the horror! DOA, please be so kind to my eyes as to paraphrase your words in paragraphs next time, that way I can follow in parts, rather than in one big, run-on sentence.

Nice research Blossom. That sounds like a very plausible explanation to me.

I have tried rope tech for a long time.  Id say I tried for 3 years with much effort into it.  I did the mental lowering but never really felt like I was in trance state.  Id try rope and i would never get out.  I usually felt weird things but they never were definite to me at least sensations.  I have had small experiences but really never conscious exits.  Id have several lucid dreams alot of lucid dreams even where id ask for guides for help but they never really seemed to have time for me.  Id always get vauge answers so I decided that maybe I wasnt ready and I concentrated on energy work mostly.  At certain times id hear a rining in my ear that became intense I thought it was just some sort of communication that I didnt understand.  I did feel some energy movment but nothing really strong.  Well in that first 3 years id lay down and do the mental falling and relax and wait and one night there was a loud pop in my nasal cavaty i thot it was a spontanious projection for a min and then after that id get that popping sound alot everytime i breathed out.  id exhale long and slow and toward the end of my breath id feel and hear a pop like suction almost.  After a while I realized it must be something else as id hear popping and no experience would happen.  Well today I thot Id try the mental falling tech again.  I started feeling like i was sinking into my bed on every exhale going deeper and deeper my mind was wandering and i just kept on trying to sink then my mind stopped wandering and i felt energy sensations tingly and movments in arms an legs and in the rump too.  I then had the ringing real loud in ears and I realized I must be going into some level of trance state.  Well I keep the mental falling and there again is the popping I realized it has to be related to the trance state somehow as I havnt had this popping in years.  That made me think that I am at some level of trance but where?  I never really felt any defined level of trance from my bodily sensations so i always questioned my going into trance.  I thot I never did go to trance state but with the ringing in ears and energy sensations i felt then the popping I know I was in trance state.  The question for me is how deep was i?  when i hear the popping am i close?  I then pulled on rope and felt like i was counter acting my falling by pulling up i did feel some sensations but didnt get out.  Anyone else have clicking or popping and used that to get out?
