collapsed on the floor

[Everlasting]

I had a  short obe during a nap, however I thought I was still in the body and I got really worried when I collapsed in slowmotion beside my bed. I actually thought I had a stroke. never had this kind of low energy obe before.

everytime i get out, i fall on the floor then i have to scramble to get away from my bodie, so it dosent suck me back in.. i laugh everytime i do it to. most would just float away. i fall everytime

I don't think "low energy" has anything to do with it.  Just focus and control.

Learn to meditate to master those.

when you project sometimes your bodie likes to try and pull you back in. this makes you feel slugish and slow. that is y i scramble to get away from the body.. some people also have trouble seeing. that is cured by also getting away from your body.. sometimes when i get out i want to look at myslef.. i dont know it it just me but my body scares me when i am out.. one time i could see myself sitting up. i was stareing at me.. and i looked mad. like i wasent spose to be out.. anways if it happens again just get away form yourslef quickly..

Did you collapse in your OBE/astral body?

If so what did you do subsequent? It sounds like basic training ground projection to me.

If it was you actual body, I hope you have carpet because wood floors tend to hurt.

Hi,
Have a read of 'The projection of the astral body' by Sylvan Muldoon and Hereward Carrington.
It may help explain this for you.

There is no "low energy OBE" It all ties in with your will power.

Well, I tend to 100% agree... we've been inundated over the past centuries with this "energy" idea and I really don't think it holds any weight.
I take a look at my own experiences, say, when I'm physically tired and when I'm dreaming I can't remember a single dream over my 31 years when I've ever been "tired" in my dreams.  Now I don't know if people equate "physical tiredness" with "low energy", but the connection has literally never come up.

I don't even believe being "physically tired" has anything remotely to do with how successful you'll be in your practices.  It's all about 'focus' and 'control' of your own mind.  "Energy level" is a term of fiction in my opinion.  Learn to control yourself and you'll control your reality.

"Know thy self, and you will know the galaxy" Lovely quote, thought of it when you said that last part. Physical and astral energy, don't, interact with each other parse. When you're OBE your energy body pulls in the energy itself. Here in the physical, you get the energy from food.

well I don't think we have unlimited energy, if we had unlimited energy we would be immortal and Godlike.

But we are!

Who's to say we aren't?

It's happened to me before, when I'm watching TV in my son's room- I feel I'm going to sleep, I really fight it, and then I try to get up and walk to my own room-this is when I forget my physical body, try to force getting up and end up collapsing on the floor in my etheric body.  Sometimes I'll try to get up and crawl back, sometimes I try to think of my physical body and start all over again, usually resulting on many false starts and a lot of 'etheric falling down'.

Since I do believe etheric events are physical, I do think 'low powered OBE's are possible-  I just don't think that's what causes this phenomenon.  I think it's the overidentification with the physical body, which is paralyzed, causing the etheric projection heavy and rough.  And very difficult.

[Boom]

I tthink i know what you mean abotu low powered OBEs, as I've had a few.
They tend to be more dreamy and have much less control. I've had ones where ive been bouncing off the walls due to lack of control. The vision has been rubbish, very dim, and very short, and very dreamy.

I agree with Ryan, I dont think this has anything to do with energy, just how well you can focus.   People may feel that when they are physically tired, that they cant focus well. Makes sense, as thats what we are used to. So technically if you are OBE you should be able to focus perfectly. However, I dont believe we go completely Out of Body. Meaning that the state of our physical body can still have an impact on us during an OBE/AP.

Maybe Low energy OBE's are formed when you do not effectively disconnect from ALL your physical senses?

I could see even a little physical data in a phasing attempt playing serious wrench in the scenario.
