First off let me say..woot for you!!! [:D]
You have experience no less than what alot of people on these forums have. I've done the leg thing, not on purpose at first mind you.[:D] I just found myself standing straight up on my head laughing at the whole thing [:O] I believe it is a lack of energy going through those certains areas. I do not recommend straining..I got a headache once straining to get out, never did that again.[:(]
This may seem silly, but try crawling away from your physical. I mean that in a literal sense too. Try and get turned over to what ever side of the bed, couch...etc., that is closest to the floor and reach your astral arms out and clutch that carpet..[:D] It has worked many times for me in the past.[^] I say past, because I suppose (can't be sure, just my thoughts on it) I worked more with the NEW ways, and it seemed getting out was alot easier after working with that for awhile. But with the crawling out, once you get on the floor just crawl as far as you can from your physical, and you'll find (least I did) the further away from my physical I got, I could stand up with ease.
You're on to a great start..way to go!!

Thank you! May I say what a quick reply. You a lot are so friendly. I will admit it was an awesome experience. They never knew you'd be able to feel things and here them and see them in the extent that I did. I'll definitely try those tonight. Thank you very much.
Peace!
Quick question for you. I could feel everything but my head moving and I could see everything. But I had no arms or feet or body that I could remember. Is this common?
A body is just baggage. Your in a pure energy form, why do you need arms? You have arms because that's your mental picture of yourself. If you take that thought to the next level, it's the reason people get stuck in closets: the 'know' they can't walk through walls so they don't. In the Astral, thought=reality. You want to look like a tiger, think tiger (just don't walk upright on 2 legs).
Hey im new to this, but after reading up on AP i found that i have great tallent and have been having LD when i was 8 and my fist OBE, well i got scared and awoke, was when i was still in my crib.

if you think about this, it seems illogical that you could grab the physical, but it works! Once i was stuck behind a wall, stuck my arms through and pulled myself through. It seems like if I could get my arms through I could get the rest through, and if my arms got through there should not be anything to grab onto, maybe this is all just a mental exercise.

You are right, it does seem illogical and it does work! It just happened one morning when I couldn't seem to get away from my physical, then I just kept using it. I wonder had I thought at the time...."hmmmm, this is illogical", do you think it still would have worked? Now watch me not be able to do it again..lol [:P]
Once I got my head and upper part of my body in a little tv, it was like I was literally stretching myself, but then of course my cat jumped on my legs and messed everything up.[:(!]

Good for you Bogata! I have been trying for so long to project with very little success. I hope I have an experience like yours! Keep it up!

Oh am I glad to read that. I once stuck my head in our television screen during an OBE. I've no idea why. Glad it's not just me that does crazy things! [;)] [:D]

I'm not sure what happened today. I tried to lay down to take a nap and I thought to myself. Why not try to project. So I just lay their telling myself over and over again keep your mind awake. Sure enough I got to a point where I opened my eyes and I was in my room now it was sunny out and sunny in this projection but things were a little more yellow'ish and orangeish but only in rays of the sun. There I was laying on my couch. It was very difficult to move. I kept thinking to myself if you can only get up you'll be able to walk around. So I tried to stand up naturally I failed. Then I started trying to remember the things I've read about astral projection. There was a rope climbing technique I tried it but found it very hard to move my arms. My legs didn't seem so hard to move so I decided to try technique I heard about about a man who would take his legs and throw them over the back of his head. I tried that but couldn't everything would move from that point on but my head. It was like it was a magnet to the back of the couch. I even tried imagining gravity was pushing me down but either I could not imagine it well enough or I closed my eyes in my projection to imagine difficult to explain the one I tried that things got dark so I stopped trying I could see again. I started a panic thinking oh my God I need to wake up but I couldn't. Now being a Christian (yea im not a normal Christian guys don't judge me on what the other guys do. :-P) I kept thinking oh my God I trapped my soul in another realm. Then I remembered a lot that I have read on how people get scared their first time. So I calmed myself and remembered times of waking up in sleep paralysis
Or the Ethric realm If you will. I remembered how I used to get out of that state I would envision a read stop sign. Alas this did not work either. At this point still trying to move and look at my body getting glimpses of my face and neck and a little bit of my shoulders. I still could not pull my head up out of the side of that damn couch. So I thought to myself still a little bit panicky you not wanting to wake up bad enough.
so I said almost like a drill sergeant get up now and used all my strength to jolt my body as hard as I could and sure enough I woke up and here I am writing this. Thing I'd like to know is how the hell do I move my head and get up? It was almost impossible like there was some force holding my head down there.
~zero.
Thanks all
