I need a bit of help...

I actually got an OBE last night...  It's been more than a year since I fully got out.  I'll shortly explain my short trip and you'll see the struggles I'm having once out of body.

So I took a nap rom 8pm to 11pm  .  Obviously I wasn't able to sleep after that until perhaps 2-3am.  I was in bed doing energy work / meditating.  After a while my body just turns on its side by itself which usually means I'm ready to sleep and there I go.  I feel the vibrations, so I start focussing on my 3rd eye and I get a change in consciousness.

I roll over and get on the ground of my bedroom.  The thing is my whole astral body was completely stiff.  I coudn't move my neck so I was only looking forward, and my whole body couldn't move.  Everything was sluggish.  After perhaps 30 seconds, I get sent back to my body.  I start feeling vibrations again, refocus on my 3rd eye and I roll over again.

Everything is still sluggish but this time around I am able to move my arms and my torso.  Everything is very dark though.  So I stop and tell myself, "ok I want everything to be bright and clear... I want control over my body...", etc...  Just a bunch of affirmations, but nothing happened.  So I slowly crawled to the light switch in my room.  I hit it, (I even hear it click like in the physical world) but nothing happens. 

I was pretty annoyed by now since it's rare that I get out and the experience isn't going like I want it to.  I start crawling to my parents room across mine.  I crawl to my father and start shaking him.  I wasn't expecting anything to happen but to my surprise "whatever" was there woke up as if I spooked the crap out of him.  It looked like my father, but his eyes were very bright and white.  That scared the crap out of me too and I just closed my eyes and wished to go back to my body.  I tried to get out again but couldn't.

An other weird thing is that an other person was sleeping by my dad (my mother I'm guessing), but in the physical my dad was alone in his bed and my mother was sleeping in another room.

Anyways, what can I do to control things better.  I tried to calm down and tell myself what I want to happen, but nothing was working at all.  I barely had control of my own body.

I'd call that a good obe So congrats !

When the energy is low and affirmations are not working and you see distortions or are completely blind, you can do two things to make the experience a bit fruitful instead of wasting it completely in struggle and confusion.

1) Check you lucidity level, if its muddy or dreamy, try clearing the mind up by concentrating on the situation. But be careful too much of trying can bring you back. Keep calm.

2) Remain where ever you are and instead of trying to move in a 'physical style' (walking, gliding or whatever), will yourself in some other place. Risk here is that you may end up creating a lucid dream.

3) Remain there and study the environment carefully (if you are a scientist kind), check how things look, or how touch feels, if you can see your body, any other bodies. Practice going back and coming out again and again, sort of live training for future.

Ok thats three things ... wish you all the best !
