Why has it all gone quiet?

[leswan]

Hi Everyone,

From about May this year I have had some great spontaneous OBE's. After the first one, I was scared which lead me to read Astral Dynamics, Journey's Out of The Body etc and I got over the fear.

I've had a couple more, but my last was mid July.

Despite a lot of energy work and attempts at conscious OBE, I've been unable to experience anything at all. I'm really dissapointed, although the upshot of these experiences has been to positively change the direction of my life. I'm quite happy that I feel more connected to myself and the world around me.

Has anybody else experienced this sudden loss of activity? Do you know how to 'restart' spontaneous OBE's?

Thanks

Matt

I've experienced having a loss of activity in OBEs several times, usually due to lack of practice.

I've heard that we sometimes get divine help when we first start to consciously leave our body, which of course makes OBE easier, but then that help is taken away and we have to work harder to be able to continue visiting the astral. I'm not sure if this is true, but I do know that I used to find it a lot easier to go out of body the first few times I did it. Now I have to really persist with practices to not lose my ability to leave my body. It's important to fight lazyness

I'm not sure how often you practice astral travel Matt, but perhaps consider practicing it even more often? Concentration is really important, so you can practice that during the day too, by being focused on the things you do, perhaps try to do one thing at the time and concentrate on that. Then, when you go to bed your mind won't feel as scattered, and you'll be able to focus better on your astral practices. This should help you have more spontanious projections, at least it has helped me  

Keep on practicing and experimenting, and have fun while doing it

Hi FrostyRose,

Thank you; there is much wisdom is your words! Perhaps I am a bit lazy as I tend to practice every night in bed before I go to sleep, which I've now read is the worst time.

I'm going to do more morning and lunchtime meditation, starting today.

All my past OBE's have occurred near the time of full moon, so I'm hoping for an experience tonight.

I'll let you know how I get on.

Thanks again.

To meditate mornings and around lunchtime sounds like a great idea, leswan. The best of luck to you

Adding a regular exercise regimen -- if you haven't already done so -- will help you to start projecting.

Best,

  Hooray! I had another RTZ OBE last night.

Vibes came on strong, no fear... in fact I really enjoyed them last night. Then out I popped.

Vision wasn't there at first, thn it all came good.
