New to OOBE and would like some help

[IceCold_K82]

I am a noobie in the world of astral projection.  I have only been trying now for a few days.
I understand that it may take me years to get my first OOBE, but I want to know what to look for or feel for to let me know that I am trying correctly.
So far, there are times when I feel like by astral wants to project and I try rolling or floating out, but then I feel like I cant breathe and retract.
I am patient and have the want to project.

I also dont know some of the terminology that goes with Astral Projection and was wondering what site would be the best to go to?

Any help you could give would be great

You're asking for a pretty broad range of info there. Yes, be patient, but don't "plan" on it taking  a couple of years to learn. It may take two years or two days, but it's best to plan on being patient and enjoying the process. The following authors and their sites should be good places to start: Robert Bruce, Robert Monroe, Bruce Moen. That's just off the top of my head. Also check out the Frank Kepple page and the sticky posts at the top of this forum.

I learned about astral projection last month and have already read 3 books so I know a lot about it now. I started to try and get an OBE around 2 weeks ago and i'm still trying to do it. Read my blog to keep updated on my experiences. Just try different techniques and tell yourself you can do it and will OBE. Get books from your local library. The books i've read are Astral Projection and the nature of reality by John Magnus, Beyond the Body: An investigation of out-of-body experiences by Susan J Blackmore, and Amazing Journeys Outside Your Body by Abhishek Agarwall which is an eBook.

I understand that it may take me years to get my first OOBE,

It may takes years or it may take few hours .... there are no such rules.
Your first steps should be to try to mediate and reach the body asleep and mind awake stage.
Read these forums and all the books etc.

For some people it may take a long time to experience an OBE, and for others it may happen the very first time they try - and it always seems like the ones who are successful right away are the skeptics who never expected anything to happen at all... I think it's because they were able to more fully relax, since they weren't excited, or fearful etc.  All I can tell you is to keep at it and don't give up!  Some time you WILL be successful!

And as for sources for good information, theres a wealth of knowledge on here.  I also have an ebook for free that you can read (link in my signature) and my website has an encyclopedia of terms that you can click on for to the point definitions, if you want to learn more terminology wise.  You might have to register on the site to see the free resources (its free to register) - I had to do that only because of serious spam issues.

And do please let us know how you progress! We all love reading about other's experiences!
