Questions about flying

[Kristina]

Hello all!  I've been away for awhile but I've decided to rejoin the group.

I have some questions about flying during an OBE.  FYI, I take naps daily at the same time as my two year old, and I manage to get out of body almost every time (say, 5 out of 7 days per week).

1. Why does it always seem obligatory to fly during an OBE?  Things can be going along fine, I'm exploring or talking to some interesting person or group, then suddenly the urge to fly is irrepressible and off I go?  Is there a way to stop this?  Granted the flying is fun, but sometimes I've got better things to do.

2. Why is it that it seems so easy to fly at fairly low altitudes and so unbearably fearful when I find myself at some height?  I'll be flying over a grassy area, having a good old time, practicing techniques, spins, etc. when suddenly I come to a large gorge (think Grand Canyon) and I'm suddenly panic stricken and plunging, unable to use any of my usual tricks to stay afloat?

3. This is sort of embarassing...    but quite often when I'm flying I'll start spinning around (picture being on a swing and flipping around 360 degrees), and it becomes extremely physically exhilarating, and I find myself (ahem) physically climaxing, often ending my OBE.  Again, yeah this is fun, but not my goal.  How can I stop this from happening?  It just sneaks up on me and hits me like a freight train!

Thanks for any advice.  I'm really trying to work on my control during my outings and any words of wisdom are welcomed.

in reply to question 3, Robert Monroe says that by acknowledging urges and telling yourself that you'll attend to whatever urge pops into your thoughts after you've acheived your primary objectives, the urge will stop dominating you and allow you to get on with what you were doing.

This has sort of worked for me with irrational feelings of fear. I've yet to test it out on the sexual urge!

Have you always projected so frequently? Do you do any energy wok prior to 'getting out'?

Take care

Hi Matt, thank you for replying!   

I really wish it were an urge I could resist, or talk myself out of.  It is instantaneous!  It happens seemingly out of nowhere, brought on entirely by the sheer wildness of my flying maneuvers (I'm not trying to do these maneuvers, I am whisked along without any control it seems).  Sometimes I can maintain the OBE but often it ends it abruptly.  Well, I suppose there are worse ways to end an OBE.

I go through phases where I can project easily, almost daily, then a week will pass with nothing.  I do almost zero energy work.  What has worked for me is a combination of strong desire and spending time listening to Holosync prior to my attempt.  (sadly, this is why I can't seem to project during the night, I am dependent on the Holosync, and can't stay awake for it during the night.)

Again thanks for responding.
