Moving about in the OBE state

[MinstruelZ]

In the experiences I've had so far, I seem to have a tough time with physical movement in the OBE state. It's like I'm staggering or swimming through the air. Does this get better with time? Are there any tips for moving about in the OBE state?

I remember for years having the swimming  and even flapping the arms dream like experience, to act out the starting of flying motion to leave the ground.

Just realize that you can travel in an upward direction, begin by acting out the swimming or flapping motion to get started if you have to, then you'll transition to directing yourself mentally and flying at greater speeds.

This can vary with the experience.  I find if I am close to my body, then moving around can be more difficult then if I am some distance away.  Also the degree of lucidity can have an effect on this as well.  I quite often depend on a thing I call the magnetic wind which is a pulling force that can just sweep me away to some distant locale.  It feels like riding a magic carpet only faster If this comes along for you, don't fight it, just join in and let it take you where it may.  When the ride is over you can usually find yourself not only in an interesting setting, but your abilty to move around on your own, by walking or flying is greatly enhanced.
