Help me get out!

Amber,

I assure you, it's more fun if you do it with a partner. It'll do the trick every time. Have fun!

Hi Amber,

It sounds like you are making some progress. There is a lot written on pre-OBE sensations and mind-split. Reading some of this might be helpful to you. If you have the book Astral Dynamics take a look at Part one - Elements of Projection. If you don't have the book try the following website:

Very best to you in your astral studies,

Hi Amber -[]
It appears that you may be getting somewhat discouraged or frustrated. Yet try not to become impatient. Just stay at it. It may take a while longer. Keep trying and it will happen.
(I may have replied to one of your previous posts in this or another website and basically said the same thing. But it is worth repeating because too many people give up just as they are about to make a big breakthrough!!)

Greytraveller... I couldn't agree more!  Well said []

Hi Folks.

Amber, what Greytraveller said is right on the money.  Perseverance is a key.  I used to get so frustrated as a teenager trying to go astral,  but I persevered and it just happened.  It was even easier than I thought it would be.

As an adult returning to the practice, I had just as much trouble and a lot less patience. LOL  A friend suggested this idea to me :-  in sitting position, calm amd relaxed,  imagine a shaft of white light coming down over you and entering your head.  As it comes down through your body,  you can feel a nice sensation with it.  Once it is all the way down to your feet and going into the floor, simply imagine yourself going up into the shaft of light.

The first time I tried this I could feel a slight shifting and decided to imagine accelerating myself to a very high speed.  Before I knew it,  I was zooming past other people and came to rest at a place we go to sometimes to talk with our Guides.  Luckily there are no speed restrictions in the astral or I would have got a ticket and hefty fine for sure. LOL again.

Have fun and love always.

Greytraveller, Tayesin and Nay, thank you for the response. I will try to have some patience with it, I guess I am comparing my experiences with other people's and that is making me a little antsy. But I will continue to practice...

with Affection,
Amber

Well, I made it to the hypnagogic state this morning, fairly easily. Just told myself to when I laid down. Ok, so I am laying there and my eyes are closed, I tell myself to float and I feel my 'body' sit up and I put my legs over the side of the bed. I can 'feel' the carpet on my bare feet bottoms and I lean over to also touch the carpet with my hands. Then I told myself to open my eyes...and I am laying back down in my body again. I can't float up or leave, I am laying there  just staring at the ceiling...
So, I think I need some creative methods to 'get out'. Floating just doesn't do the trick...lol
