Falling!

[XenXheng]

All of my astral experiences up until a few days ago have been "waking up to vibrations" experiences that have seemed rather random.  But after listening to Dave Allen-Williams' "Boxed Nirvana II" (Gnome-something from this board!), I had a weird experience.  Could you guys let me know what stage this is?

I got really relaxed for a while, and my mind was drifting around, so I decided to take control of it and envision myself walking around a beautiful scene.  It flitted from this, to envisioning my apartment and so on, because my mind control and concentration is very limited right now.

But suddenly, I felt myself kind of fall into myself, like I got sucked into a hole that opened into my body.  I was surprised, so I lost the sensation after a few seconds, but I just wanted to know what stage of a conscious projection that is.  Is it before or after the trance?  Do the vibrations come soon?

Thanks for your help,
Chris

Don't beat yourself up too badly over your lack of mental control.  Remember that you want accurate and objective perceptions more than you want guided imagary.  You envisioned yourself flitting about your apartment because that was indeed where you were.   It was a good thing that you experienced this reality instead of whatever your fantasy was.   But, as you know, you need to get more than 20 feet away from your body or it is extremely easy to get sucked back into it.

The Truth is always preferrable to your expectations.

Telling how close you are to projecting

I think that you are very close or even that you actually have separated from your body when you lost the feeling of gravity (falling sensation).

Thanks, Leo, I'm working to unblock energy pathways, improve my concentration and move on up to the next stage of conscious separation, and taking it easy on myself.

And awesome chart, paker, thanks for the link.  I got real close, it seems.
