I projected 3 Times in one day and every other night I get really strong sensations. I been having girl problems lately and I guess you can say that it is stressing me out. But regardless everynight I smile and meditate before sleep. All I get now is extremely weird or really disturbing violent dreams. I don't understand.... There for a while I was finding myself becoming aware in lucid dreams and projecting usually in the morning. Even though they turned into weird dreams after about ten mins. They were great ! Now I get nothing... Is this girl effecting my projections? Even if I tell myself at night everything is gonna work out fine etc? Feeling lonely lately. I really wanna start projecting again...
Relax, just keep doing what you are doing. I found this natural mantra that I have been using lately. Here is a post to explain it. It is so easy and really helps you get out of mind. Remember every thing in your life is all about experiences. New friendships/mates is part of that as well. It's what we do and learn from it that helps us grow. Try this mantra I think it will help you. http://www.meditationiseasy.com/mCorner/techniques/soham.htm
Good Luck :-)
Thank you Lionheart I will give it a shot :)
So basically when I lye down and get comfortable, relaxed... etc, should I actually say "So.... on my exhale, and ham, on my inhale? Or should I just breathe like I normally do with the so'ham saying repeating in my head as I breathe? Is this to keep me more alert during meditation to make it easier to project?
Thanks Lion. :) I did have a pretty cool sensation today, I think it was... maybe last night early morning. I was dreaming of running up stairs and I felt myself kinda wanting to lift out but I think I got to excited and ruined the moment. It was still pretty cool though.

It happens like that sometimes --- the harder that you try the Less successful you are at going OOB. Believe me because I know that this has happened to me Many times. Any type of severe emotions can prevent an OBE. So the girl could well be one of Several factors affecting your ability to project. Just stay with it because this dry spell Will end and you will be projecting again (soon hopefully).
Cheers :-)

Yes "so" is the exhale and "ham" is the inhale. This is a really good Mantra because you make these sounds when you breathe, so they are natural. I never noticed it before either until I read that article. It's amazing how many things we actually do that are totally unknown to us. :-)
