I've got a few questions about my experiences with OBE!

[FrauStorm]

Hey there, forum. And thank you for giving my topic a gander! 

So I had my first OBE when I was just a kid, perhaps around 5 or 6? My mother had tucked me in for bed and she turned the fan on. As soon as the breeze hit my face, I remember that I was suddenly floating above myself! I wasn't scared at all, it was quite fun! I believe I was only floating for a couple minutes, and that's all I remember.

Then about eight months ago, I started getting vibrations when I would almost be asleep at night. The vibrations are usually accompanied with a vision of falling from a ledge, almost like I was dreaming but I can control whether or not to jump. The falling is what starts the vibrations. I soon realized that I only get these vibrations when I have had a nap earlier that day. I soon did some research and thought I had a minor case of Old Hag Syndrome for a while, before doing more research and realizing that what I was experiencing could very well be me on the verge of separating from my body and projecting.

My most recent episode with the vibrations was just this morning, I also learned that if I kept bringing myself back to a ledge and jumping, that I could keep my vibrations going. I was unable to separate from my body, though. I'm thinking it was because I wasn't in the right position for separation, or maybe I focus too much on physically trying to separate from my body instead of thinking about separating. Sometimes when I am in the vibrational state, I let my fears get the best of me since I usually begin to hear something subtle that I know is not there. (But I usually don't let my fears control my attempts).

Now here are my questions:

• Is what I experience actually me on the verge of an OBE, even though it's accidental?
• What is personally the best position for you when trying to achieve AP?
• What are some tips you have for me so I can successfully separate and explore?

1. I would say yes, now you just need to allow yourself to shift into it. A lot of people have their first OBE earlier in there life totally by "accident", with no intent whatsoever.
2. Any position, as long as you are comfortable being in it for a long time.
3. My tips to you would be to read the "stickies" found here http://www.astralpulse.com/forums/welcome_to_astral_consciousness-b30.0/. There are a number of different techniques to choose from. Find one you are comfortable with and practice, practice, practice! 
Good Luck and Safe Travels!

Remember, the key point about learning to consciously project is about being able to ignore any of your physical body senses (taste, touch, hearing, etc).
Learning to meditate would really help with this.

Welcome! I am sure you will find the answer you are looking for here. Scour the stickies and ask questions, often 

I will mimic Xanth, you will find that phasing is much less about doing, and more about how to do without doing. More specifically, It is a disconnection process that you have to learn to initiate without actively thinking about it. All will be clear in time.

Cheers,

Thanks to every one who replied! I will definitely look into methods and try meditating more.
I used to meditate but I've found I've become lazier. Oops
