Elway,

First and foremost, realize that what works for one person may not work for another person.  There is no 100% right way to do this.

Why do I say this?  Well, in your question above, you want to know what it means to "visualize yourself outside of your body when attempting OBE."  For ME, this is something I would never do.

You see, like you, when you start out trying to project, you have no experience, so you try anything and everything that people say.  But in order to make significant progress, you should analyze what works for you and what doesn't work.  Take bits and pieces of different things and combne them together to make your own technique.

For example, as I was saying, visualizing myself out of my body doesnt work for me, simply because in doing so, I am inadvertantly focusing on my body!  This ends up keeping me too grounded to the physical and I can never take that extra mental jump to cross over into the astral realms.

So what works for one person may not work for another.  I personally try to forget about my body altogether.  I only focus on it in the beginning stages when I'm focusing on RELAXING it.  After it's in a relaxed state, I put it out of my mind and start paying to attention to the different focus levels that I'm trying to achieve.

Hope that helps.

I have never seemed to have trouble reaching a trance state within a matter of minutes...but actually getting out of body proves difficult... I have been trying for about a week or so...( I had OBE before unintentionally before I knew what it was)...Ever since I have been doing energy work and putting myself in a trace state meditation....I have been having very vivid dreams(that i remeber) I sometimes have trouble remembering them. The other night I was having a dream...and something out of the ordinary happened and I remember telling myself "ok I am completely dreaming" so I stared at a block in my dream as told to do so hoping to project somewhere else...and I have no reccolecction as to what happened after that..  So I guess my questions are: is this a normal response from doing energy work? How do I reach a point to Know that i am dreaming when i am?  and when ya'll tell me to visualize myself outside my body when attempting OBE....what do you mean exactly? any responses will be greatly appreciated.. Thanks
