Continuing problems differentiating "tingles" and

[JAW]

Ok quick background - still no OBE, but can reach almost 100% body asleep/mind awake, can get hypnogogics and some images going, rarely sounds and 1 landmark "vision" so far...

Im not sure how important it even is to try and tell these two sensations apart, but if vibrations means near exit and tingles are bad (?) then I think it is important.

So Im currently getting pretty full on, whole body tingles/vibrations (?) during meditation/breathe work, usually when Ive reached some level of body asleep. However when I read about vibrations it sounds like they continue for at least 15-30 seconds whereas I usually get it in waves which quickly dissapear. The tingle feeling whilst in body asleep state is quite full on, but I want to know if its me getting excited and generating "tingles" or if theyre vibrations. If theyre tingles, should I try and stop them by trying to remain calm/emotionless? If theyre vibrations why havent i projected yet lol!

Any feedback, ideas, etc are very welcome.
Cheers,
JAW

It is my experience that the "tingling" and "vibrations" are not the end effect but just a mild side effect - I have had OOBEs without any of these present.

Just my two cents worth...I would notice them but not care about them.. focus more on deep relaxation then on weird feelings.

Hi guys,
Thanks for the feedback. MTom, thanks for the detailed response, Ill have to take a bit more notice of the length of the tingles next time, and try and compare the length they stay depending on what trance level Im in. Youre definitely right on the whole waking up to sensations part, as my biggest and most full on experience happened exactly like this. Pity for some reason Ive had no similar experience for a good 6 months! I dont understand...
Ive also tried meditating on that experience, which can bring on the tingling feelings, as it was quite an event..

Cheers.
