Alcohol and OBE Induction

[Clarky]

I've heard having a clear mind is better for OBE's although most of my OBE's are the day 'after' I've had a heavy drink when I'm feeling really rough and tired.  I always expect to have an OBE the day after drinking and most of the time I will do.  There usually spontaneous and will happen at some point throughout the night where I'll wake up slightly paralysed and I'll go with it and project.  This can repeat several times after and can actually be a little frustrating if I just want to go to sleep.

Yes, I've heard this from many others, including my own brother.  Still, drinking heavily as a method of projecting is probably foolhardy and inevitably unhealthy.  I was in a serious Motorcycle accident a year and a half ago and was on narcotic painkillers for months.   I found that after a good dose of Dilaudid, when I went to bed, it was easy to slip into that numb, paralyzed state.  I still have a bunch of the Pain meds left, but like alcohol, I don't think it would be wise or healthy to use them as projection methods LOL.  I think what we have to figure out is:  What are the factors in the use of these substances that lead to the projection reflex, and then to recreate those conditions without using them, if that is possible.

Friends,

One of my OBEs before coming to awareness of astral projection was indeed brought on from too many beers. Make a long story short, thought I was getting up, going to the restroom, all during the OBE. When I had returned, still in the drunken state, I got up and did my business on the floor in the basement where I was sleeping. Yes, there was a mess to clean up the next day, thankfull my brother, at that time knew what was going on and performed the clean-up.

I can remember this event as if it was a week ago, but this took place 25 years past. Again, re-iterarating that the alcohol is a drug, just like Nyquil is and it will not advance you to a clear conscious OBE.

One doesn't have to give up drinking all together, but lessen the intake and social aspect of it. Over-all you will benefit greater and feel accomplishment w/o a crutch to induce this state of awareness.
