Hi all, my last OOTB was in may this year and previous to that i had been having some experiences from around April 2011. Previous to that was probably 15-20 years ago when i was really into reading all kinds of material regarding dreams, astral experiences, crystals etc. I took a break and lost focus until last April 2011.
Now, the reason why im typing this is because i figure that practising, talking and reading material on the astral will and has encouraged me to have spontaneous projections without any real time costing effort while using affirmations before i fall asleep.
Up until last night i had not had any experiences, some dreams and a couple of lucid ones but other than that no conscious projections.
So as always ive used my affirmation while going to sleep "I'm OOTB" over and over again. When i wake up, go to the loo, come back to bed and start with the affirmation again, and this what happened. I have a TIVO box in my bedroom that emits a low buzzing sound that is quite noticeable, while falling back to sleep the sound starts to get louder and louder as if someone had turned the volume up to 10, to me this is the key to exit. I struggle to role out but keep telling myself to "role out, come on" and so i did. I fall onto the floor and its dark and realise that i want to just walk through my bedroom door and then open my eyes to see my surroundings, and make my next move.
I think i do this and feel myself walk through the door, i then force my eyes open and see a crack of light but not knowing where this is coming from. At this point i find myself back in bed in my physical body, so i try and exit again. i struggle but get out, i walk to the middle of my bedroom, open my eyes and say "clarity now and energy now" as i say this i feel more energy and my vision improves.
Instead of going through the door again i try for the window. At first the curtain feels resistant against me, i find it difficult to walk through it, but i persist and get through it and the window glass feels the same but manage to get through that as well and into the back garden.
Its daylight and my garden looks very odd with items that i didn't recognise, then unfortunately im back in my body and the buzzing sensation is there but decreasing till it eventually stops.
I stay in the same position not moving an inch in bed to see if i can exit again, but what seemed like maybe 20mins or so i have no joy.
Now, great experience for me and im hoping that this will set off more of the same over the coming nights and weeks, but for the life of me why was there such a break from may to just now when practically every night ive been using the same affirmation that worked for me for the majority of the times that ive had an OOTB?
Id done nothing different that i can recall, but long may it continue with more exploration.
:-D
Congratulations Blidge, it's always great to read another success story. Here's to many more! :-)
Hiya
OK I've been thinking about why you've not had any success since May. I'm sure Ive read somewhere, in a book or on here, that one reason could be something to do with your physical life. What I mean is that there may have been issues in your life which needed sorting out and this could have been causing some kind of 'blockage' in your attempts to have an OOBE. Now Im sure Im not making it up but you never know with me. But now at least you've had another OOBE and fingers crossed you'll have many more.
Happy travelling my friend
