Close to A.P. or was it an illusion?

It sounds like you might have well been on your way. I think the problem was that you let your self be distracted by the sensations and by the noises of the other people. You need to learn to ignore what is going on on the physical and try not to be overwhelmed by the sensations. Try to be passive and just go with it and relax. I think one of the big downfalls is that people start thinking too much about the sensations and let them distract them from projecting. Try to just let it come, fall into it. Increased heart beat and breathing are usually not your physical body but vibrations.

aight.  well the thing im proud of cause i think ive gotten a lil close before but this was the first time that the sensations lasted the longest and i was able to get over being nervous over nothing, because it just happens that i get nervous when there's no reason to be, but i was able to stay calmer.  i am gonna try to project again tonite, but i think that my technique worked where i looked through my third eye to see purple and then i get the 'galaxy falling sensation'  i think it is a good thing to try, for it really seemed to help me.  thank you

oh yeah might i add that its not the heartbeats that bother me much anymore so i think the second i got over it i just got that strong breathing and because it was different i didnt actually 'try' to project when i should have.  also after i got out of the trance i tried to get in it again, but i just couldn't  oh well,  again i will try tonite.  later

Last night i decided to get into a trance to try to project.  well i was at it for about 20 minutes, then i would look into my third eye and i could see these purple colors inside.  I then imagined i was falling in a galaxy with that purple color, and then i felt a falling sensation and i started getting real strong 'heartbeats'  it didnt even seem like they were in rythem.  I believe this is gettin ready to astral project, except in the back of my mind i could hear the little sounds other people were doing in the house still.  oh yea might i mention i felt my breathing go faster.  could anybody tell me more about what happened? thx
