Title: Hard to keep eyes closed
Post by: kooler on June 18, 2005, 06:44:25
Hi, I haven't been able to achieve conscious astral projection yet, and i have been using methods such as looking at the blackness with closed eyes, but as I'm concentrating i find my eyes tend to start to slip open it's hard to keep them fully closed, this isn't the case when I'm trying to go to sleep of course, but it is when I'm trying to concentrate with closed eyes.
Does anyone else experience this?
I'm considering buying one of those patch things that you put over your eyes when you sleep that is for blocking out sunlight, maybe it would help?
Thanks.

You don't need to buy fancy blindfolds. My socks do the work anyway.

yeah I have the same problem but I found a solution. Try to ap when you are tired, very tired. If you just lay down to your bed when you are in a tired position, your eyes won't be opened. That works on me..

i agree... your not tired enough.   Try waiting until your exhausted... then instead of going to bed... go to some chair or something with no sleep-associations and try to project.  Let us know.  Have fun.
