Ok, I'm sure all of you pro projectors are bored of hearing this, but you must understand, this is the closest I've come, and it was the most amazing experience! Ok, I'm going to go into to detail, so bear with me.

Ok, this is what happened, I was sitting Indian style in my computer chair (which is how I always sit), and was just online, and because I was done with everything I had to do for the day, I tried deep meditating. This didn't work because I was distracted by an itch when I started getting into it. Ok, well, after about 50 minutes, since I am so focused on projecting, I decided to try again, but this time, just out of curiosity, I turned on one of those stupid deep sleep things, that I downloaded BEARSHARE LITE, the kind where they talk and tell you to take deep breathes? Just to see if it would work. The specific one is by Paul Scheele, or something, but that is irrelevant. Well, I started how I normally do, sitting Indian style in a chair, with my three fingers closed together (thumb, index and middle) and my other two, hanging down, while resting my hands on my knees. I was kinda hunched over, but the track began. It started with a bunch of deep breathing exercises which I did, but as I was recommended before, to count back from 10 to 1, then restart at 10, counting your breathe, and also to concentrate on a specific spot of air coming out of your nose (thanx Tom).

After about 10 minutes of this, I actually stopped hearing what was playing, and was deeply focused on counting and my breathe. My eyes started to hurt, because they started going all cross-eyed, for too long, and that hurts. They always try to open, which usually ends my session, but I tried hard to keep them from going crazy. I became so relaxed that I didn't realize anymore what I was doing. I then realized that I could not feel my fingers touching, and so I moved my right index finger to see if they were (which was a stupid thing to do, because this just broke up my session again, but you must understand, I've never gotten to this stage before, so I thought my hands just got really cold) I realized that they were touching the whole time, I just couldn't feel it.

I was still in control so I quickly went back to the numb hands state again. When this happened, (this is where it gets weird) I started to feel like some invisible form of something like slowly floating above my hands (my whole hands and arms at this point felt very bulky and heavy, and useless) I remembered people saying to try to concentrate on this energy, but when I started thinking about people talking, it disrupted me again, and I had to start back over. When I got back to the floating part again, I like almost understood it. It was weird, I could like sense it, but in my mind. It felt like invisible and like light. My face also felt very light, I felt like trying to move the light part out, along with my hands, but my body wouldn't let me, I had like a light layer of face, that was slightly sticking out, but I don't know if it was, or if I was imagining it was. I tried to get up, but then my physical body was still more in control then the other light part, and it wouldn't let me, but I could still feel my physical body, and it felt very bulky.

Then I started to get into very short quick breathes, and it felt like my whole body started to turn like upside 90 degrees very slowly though, it didn't feel like my physical body was actually doing this, but rather like, my mind? I dunno how to describe it, but it felt weird, and I've never gotten this far before, and my breathe was getting really short and choppy, and my fingers twitched together for some reason, and I automatically realized what i was doing in the physical world, and I snapped out of it.

So, how am I doing? I was in this state for about a half an hour. My problem is that I try to hard to realize that I have a lighter part, which is what makes me realize what I'm doing?

When I get amazed that it is actually working, my concentration goes back to my physical body, and then I have to start all over again from the beginning and concentrate on my body.

Any tips or something would be great, but I'd thought I'd just update everyone, BUT I HOPE SOMEONE CAN HELP ME!  , I really appreciate this forum, ANY TIPS WOULD BE GREAT! THANK YOU FOR LISTENING!

Hi Milk & Toast,

Welcome to the forum... seems a bit like a breakfast club here!

If you want some background visit Robert Bruce's site www.astraldynamics.com - as there are plenty of good articles there to enjoy.

Best,

I have to say, that sounds fantastic.  The best advice would be to keep practicing, getting into that state, and you should get better at it on your own.

What a great experience Milk!  The first times are so exciting to hear about, I can feel the joy and excitement right with you.

I started to feel like some invisible form of something like slowly floating above my hands (my whole hands and arms at this point felt very bulky and heavy, and useless) I remembered people saying to try to concentrate on this energy, but when I started thinking about people talking, it disrupted me again, and I had to start back over.

That would be your hands floating out!  This is the thing...DON'T think about it at all, think away from your physical.   I know it is hard with all those sensations going on, but be as passive as possible.  The more you practice, the faster you will get use to the short, choppy breathing, jumping limbs, and rapid heart beat...etc.  And soon, you will find yourself out of your body without giving these bothersome things another thought!

Good luck Milk, and thanks for sharing.

Sounds like things are going great.

I used to have the same problem with my eyes, because I would think about it. Dont worry about anything. Let what ever happens, happen. Sometimes my eyes will be open for just a crack for awhile, without me even knowing, after awhile they always close though.
