you should read "journeys out of the body" by Robert Monroe, theres a part where he pinches his friend whilst OOB.
later, she told him she felt it and she had a park at the spot where he pinched her.
He seemed like an honest guy so this to me is blatant evidence that OBE's deserve more investigation by science.
Funny you should mention that. I just got finished reading that, and that's the main one I was thinking about.
I used to try that in the past. I had a sheet of paper with 2 circles drawn about 6 inches apart from each other, one circle was empty and the other one had an X mark in it. I placed a plastic coin over the empty circle and I had to move it to the marked circle when I was out of body. I managed to get out many times and move the coin across the paper, but it never happened in the physical world.
The good thing is that when I was up for the experiment I was projecting 2-3 times everyday and I had no longer any doubts that I was really getting out of body even though I could never get the coin to move.
I believe it is possible to make it happen, but it would probably take alot of emotion, a very strong feeling about it and stuff wich is hard, cause the last thing you would want to try when out of body would be to move a plastic coin across a paper.
Think it's more of a phenomenon rather than an ability.
Anyone else given this little test a whirl?

This may seem like a silly suggestion, but I'm serious.
What if you cut out a little figure out of cardboard. Draw a little face on him.
Then on one piece of paper draw some kind of scary threat like a dragon or a monster or something.
On the other piece of paper, draw some sort of loving angelic figure or anything positive. You don't have to be an artist. Just something that is recognizable to you.
Then put your little cardboard cutout figure on the piece of paper with the scary image.
When you project, perhaps you can use the imagery to help imagine a sense of urgency in moving the figure from the scary background to the safety background. Like the figure is saying, "Save Me", and you feel you must make the rescue.
This might help to bring some urgency to the task.
Just a twist on your coin idea. If anyone tries it, please post results here.

Come on, people! Would you please help me out here? I need your help because at the moment, I can't do this.
Sorry, never got to the RTZ yet...
i'm still in the process of trying to master having OBE's... only had a couple accidently, so unfortunately i have no experiences like that to share. but anyway, maybe someone could try setting up a soft ball of clay or something that you could try manipulating during an OBE... maybe that wouldn't be as hard as trying to actually move an object somewhere else.
OK, so, I hope you experts at out of body projections can help me with this one, since I have yet to get out (or at least remember it).
OK, I've read several accounts of people saying they've been out, and they tried to pinch someone, or pick up something with a pinching manner, like a pencil, or something, and then it actually pinch and move/hurt the object/person physically.
So, I was wonder, could you guys and gals try pinching something small and see if you can affect it? Maybe set up a marble in a bottle top, then, project, try to pick up the marble, and place it in another bottle top, and see if you did it.
But, maybe there's nothing special about the pinching action, just the intent of the person...
