also, I did get really far once, I felt my reality shifting and floating and I was on the threshold, and then I heard the phone ring, and since my room is the closest to the phone I picked it up and found out that it was a telemarketer advertising newspapers, whom I just hung up on because I was angry about losing my place, if he hadn't called, I just might have left my body right then and there.
Hey Eshry,
Keep in mind that when you try to project, make sure you aren't going to be distracted by things like the phone or a full bladder. Not only can a phone call really break your concentration, but depending on how close the headset is to your face, it can scare the ever-loving crap outta you!
Keep smiling,

hmm, on the day that I started this post, I think I had an obe, but i'm not sure, all I remember is just trying to project, then my dad waking me up hours later, I may have slept, or I may have projected and fell asleep...
well, I still haven't experienced an obe...
Patience is a virtue.
For some OBE comes very easily and quickly. For the rest of us (the majority?) its a long involved proccess. Maybe take some time off from trying to project and working on raising energy would help you.
I realized a while back that I could easily get to the threshold of a projection, but couldn't quite get out. Now instead of trying to get out daily, I work on figuring out why I can't during the week, and try to project on the weekend. It seems each week I actually get closer, over one more stumbling block. Just relax and enjoy where you are.
dont i know obe is a long process! I have been trying on and off for 3 months! my current affirmation about wanting to dream of flying seems to be quite effective to the degree of one flying dream every 2 weeks but even that is losing its momentum! i recomend buying the book by sylvan muldoon and Heward Carrington. I read that continuously for a week and it gave me great techniques and I dreamed of projection or magick every night!!

I have been trying to obe, I can get almost to the trance state using the rope method, but I can't get anywhere near it using any other method, I find myself laying down for 30 minutes to an hour trying to obe... I still have yet to obe, but I DO feel a pull on my astral body which leaves me a bit dizzy and startles me back into my body... please give me hints on how to get farther.
