Is separation sudden or gradual?

I think it is both. It depends on your method....I think

Hi,

In my case, it depends, if I am in a LD I feel the separation gradual, If I am in the morning before wake up I feel the separation sudden, and when I am planning a projection both happens..

Best regards

All of my OBEs have the separation feeling...  It can take 1 second as it can take forever if I don't force myself out (often my head get stuck)...  At least, that's why I call them OBEs... as opposed to LDs.

As the others said, it can be both. Sometimes you'll just be 'woah! I'm out! When did that happen?'

And other  times you'll be "vibrations... these sure are taking a long time... llalalal al.... oh, ok, I'm out now."

I've had them both ways.  Slow roll outs work best for me but I am also experimenting with other methods.  R. Bruce suggested a way in his book where you image yourself as wearing water skis and are partialy submerged in the water with your hands gripping the rope handle and a powerful speed boat out in front of you is reving its engine and then with a loud roar it powers up and takes off, jerking you straight up out of the water. This is a very explosive projection and can be scary at first. Hope this helps.

Mine seems very gradual at this time. Some I have a hard time downloading but only catch the last little vibration. Wonder why.?

I've had a few sudden separations. I was mostly unaware of anything astral around me then I'm very much in it.

But most of my projections are a gradual increase in astral input/output and gradual decrease in paying attention to my body. There is no specific time I can say I left my body, and theres not a line between leaving it and not leaving.

Are your separations gradual or sudden?
