Nearly there... i think

[The AlphaOmega]

I'd say experiment on yourself.  Try holding them for a while one time.  Try exiting immediately another time.  I recently realized that one of the things that had been holding me back at times was all these other peoples posts and different ideas (including my own).  Everyone has their own techniques and excersizes that do different stuff for them, and I had been trying lots of different things.  Instead I should have been keeping it simple and finding what works for me.  You almost always hear about vibrations because it is really common when projecting occurs.  In that case, anyone who has never had an OBE expects them, and if they don't feel them they think they are doing something wrong.  I myself don't feel them, never have, but have found that I do not need them to seperate from my body.  Find what works for YOU.  It's a trial and error situation, but any stage you have reached once you can reach twice, so have fun with it and try new things.  Sounds like you're close though, so good luck!

Hi Dawg,

  I think you were very close.One thing that gave me trouble when I was starting out was trying too hard to make something happen after the vibrations kicked in.I would immediately try to force an exit and the process would stop.What worked for me was completely letting go-holding a strong INTENT to project and then surrendering to the experience.Just let the projection happen naturally.When you try too hard it`s easy to bring your attention back to the physical which will
put a spoke in the works,like Frank used to say.

  I agree that you should try different things to figure out what works for you.

  Good Luck!

Well i think i nearly had my first conscious OBE last night.  I was lying nice and comfy on my couch listening to the binauralabyss track i downloaded from the forum.

I'd been lying there trying to clear my mind of all thoughts but wasn't getting very far as i kept on thinking random stupid stuff every time i managed to get a clear mind.  I continued trying anyway and was getting a nice tingling feeling from time to time going through my feet and legs.  Then it must have been about 45 mins into it, when that all changed.  I was simply just letting go at this time, if thoughts came into my head i just let them and just let it drift pass and concetrated on the binuaral sounds.  That was when i started getting the tingling feeling all over my body, stronger and stronger.  By now my body was buzzing extremly strong (felt it stonger in my face), like i had a high-powered massager on me.  My heart -or chakra- was absolutely racing.  Then, well then i freaked out and open my eyes and lost it, i closed my eyes again and tried to get it back but all i got was white clouds/shapes and could feel my pulse beating crazy -suppose that was from freaking out, not from the vibrations though.

It's the furthest i've got yet, and it's gave me enthusiam to keep going and pratice more.  Although i'd read in AD and on the forums that the vibrations can freak people out when they first get them so be prepared, i obviously hadn't prepared myself enough, as they were really intense, even if they only lasted about 20secs before i freaked out.

I lay down for another couple of minutes after this, to get myself together before getting up and moving around, and had a slight nauseas sick feeling for a while after.  I this normal?  Also if and when i get the vibrations again and hopefully don't freak out, should i try holding them for a while beofre attempting a projection exit or just go straight for a projection attempt?
