OBe problem.....

[biggymatt]

Well I had a similar situation happen when I was in middle school...I had came home from a very bad day threw myself down on the bed and begged for god to take me that I didn't want this life anymore.  Almost as soon as I finished that thought I felt a very powerful wind pulling me from my body trying to get me out.  Well it managed to pull out my entire body...except for my head...It felt like my 2 heads where locked together, I tried to help the wind out and push against the bed but had no luck.  Finally I just gave up and when I did my heads separated and I was pulled away very rapidly.  Next thing I remember is waking up the next morning.  I think the problem was simply physical tension...cause when I quit fighting I just slipped out. Hope that helps.

You can loose up your double by imagining yourself spinning around the axis of your body. Making a funny somersault movement afterward has helped me in similar situations.

I've faced a similar problem on several occasions. Like you, its usually my head that is anchored in position. Sometimes, one side of the etheric body is free, but the other side can't break away from the physical.

For me, the key to complete seperation in this situation is to relax and go with the flow. Don't attempt to rise out of your body, or use "intent" to will yourself out. Just consider that your legs are already free, & a process is already underway. Relax & let this process unfold & you should seperate.

Unfortunately, on each of these exits, I typically find that I cannot control my astral / etheric body. It is almost as if the "restraint" that anchored me to the physical has continued in my mind. If I "will" myself to float towards a window or walk outside, my astral body refuses to cooperate leaving me no choice but to hop back into bed !!

whenever i try to obe, i always get this odd problem, its like moast of my 'body' is leaveing itself but its like my head is anchored down, unable to move. ITs rather odd beacuse about 3 months ago, i also became aware of a kind of 'shield' around my head, mabie thats the reason....

I think this is usually due to not enough energy - try some of RBs energy raising exercises, maybe even some primary chakra work.

I remember the one most lucid projection I had (even though it was only 15 seconds long) was after doing some primary chakra stuff - but not even to the degree where I got any sensations.  Since my energy body wasn't very developed I didn't want to overdo it.

(that was me above)

Sorry, I should say that when I had this OBE I had been having exactly the same problem as you, stuck at the head with my legs and arms flying all over the place.

In the experience I mentioned, I just popped out easily.
