OBE with open eyes

[stephen~]

It might not have been your physical eyes, then again it might have been. I've opened my real eyes too, and although I haven't ever projected like that, it hasn't always stopped the vibes either. According to some people they can project while physically moving about, so I guess it's possible as their eyes would surely have been open at the time if that is indeed what happened.

So basically, u don't need to have a complete relaxation for a successful AP, is that right?

[stephen~]

Well I'm not completely convinced that you don't need to be completely relaxed. I need to be relaxed enough to fall lightly asleep, I'm not always very comfortable but it doesn't seem to stop me. Complete relaxation is best, but well relaxed, comfortable or simply at rest is good enough. I wouldn't deliberatly open your eyes, or try to move, the chances are you will blow it.

I understand, but it happens while my eyelids twigle to much and then open undeliberately. I hope it will go away soon

Thanx for your help, take care!

Twigle? like flickering or fluttering you mean? That's pretty normal, along with what appears to be your heart going crazy, but is usually your heart chakra motoring away.

I think the eye thing is a kind of nervous excitement, although I don't know that for sure. I think in time you may find it happens occasionally but less often as you get used to the sensations associated with projections.

Good luck with your travels.

After the first time I experienced the vibrations before an OBE, they never really seemed to go away while I was awake. Probably because I preoccupied myself with the experience and could barely think about anything else. But even now, browsing these forums, I feel closer and closer to the relaxed/vibrational state with my eyes open. I keep myself from going deeper, though, for fear I might pass out and hurt my head on something :\

When I first start practicing astral projection I had the experience of doing so with my eyes open.  It was 3 in the morning and my brother had woken me up and I was extremely tired as you can imagine.  So I just sat there with my eyes open thinking hard about astral projecting and in about 20 seconds I was out flying around with double vision in the dark, I went down the hall and into the bathroom and saw the bathroom light even though my eyes were fully open and it was compeletely dark.  It was a very strange experience that really isn't all that great, it's really more annoying because your eyes get really dry.  Anyway, yes, you do have a double vision at once, that was pretty cool, but it's no big deal.

yeah guys know, this is an interesting topic, i have had an experience late last year like this, i woke up, stood up in bed, open my eyes, then within a second or two latter, i was outside instantly! there was no get down to lay down or any thing, it could of been just in out of body state already, but meh, very interesting.

Hi, everyone!

I am new to AP and had this strange experience recently. The intensity of my vibrations got so high, that my eyes opened! The interesting thing is that they went on for a while with open eyes. How is that possible? Is an OBE with open eyes possible?
