Are these signs of OBE?

[mrconstantine]

Hi everyone.. i've been interested in AP for about a year now, i havn't experienced it though. Every night, when im about to go to sleep, I can bring on feelings of swaying, like I'm moving left or right, or up and down..I can control it pretty well, is this anything to do with OBE? I could always do it for as long as i remember.

And the other thing that happened was one night i was 'slightly' awake, and i heard a really loud rushing noise from behind me.. strangely I wasn't afraid at all, and i just brushed it off and went to sleep. I now only see the significance of it... but didn't realise because I was almost asleep...

 Then last night I woke up during the night with the distinct feeling of hands holding my sides, again i wasn't scared at all.. just rolled over and went to sleep.

Am i close or what? I really want to do it, but yeah i still have fear which is definately hindering me. Just felt like posting this.
Thanks for reading.

I'm definitely no expert. I'm pretty much still a novice, but it sounds like you're on your way to astral projecting. It seems like you're able to move your astral body, but you're still connected to your physical body. This happened to me a few days ago and I started sinking and rising back and forth, but I got scared because I didn't like the slow sinking feeling. I wanted to just get out of bed as if I normally would with my physical body, just like I was able to do twice last week.

Hey,
Good, good, good!! You're sooooo close!
Next time you feel the hands ask them to "take you out"..
You should be proud of yourself, because it took me months to understand what is happening and without having symptoms of a heart attack
It's your helpers trying to help you. Send them love, and you will receive the same.
As for the swaying, this is also good news. There is a method in which you "sway yourself out" of the physical body. Make the swaying so intensive, that you'll eventually "drop out".

Take small steps at a time, protect yourself with love and light, and you'll loose the fear sooner than you can imagine

good luck!
