Stress nervouse breakdown caused Obe after Obe after Obe......!

[majour ka]

Greetings good people of the Astral Pulse.

I recently sufferd a very stressfull period in my life sparked off by a number of extremely difficlut life situations, ultimatly I sufferd a nervouse break down, one side affect of which was the almost inablity to sleep! which im sure you may aprreciate magnifies the stress to an unimaginable level....trust me ive just been there!

    Anyway, the longer i didnt sleep the harder it became to get to sleep, the worry of weather I would sleep or not? became if you like, aself fulfilling prophecy.
Im talking a few hours of light sleep every 3 or four days....not good, and this went on for a couple monthes.

Anyway the point of the post is AND PLEASE DONT TRY THIS AT HOME!!!! was every time i attempted to rest, my body would drop off and you guessed it! my mind wouldnt which equals OBE after OBE after OBE not at all fun when your mind is suffering in that way and very, very frustrating.

Before any one thinks, ah that sounds like a good technic! Please remember that sleep deprevation is extreamly harfull to the body and the mind and can have some quite frighteng consiqunces or at least its very very likely to.

The difference with these obes, was at times I thought I had died and gone to spirit.

Any way thought i would share with you all.

Regards Marcus .ps If any of the moderatores feel this is a potentioly dangerous post, I understand and wouldnt mind at all if you felt it appropriate to remove it M x PPs sorry for the awful spelling, I couldnt get the spell check up? lol

I've been through a time like that. The stress will leave you in every moment you find solace, no matter how brief. May you have peace again soon.

It sounds like a pretty tough time. For us astral projection tryers it would be priceless to find a way of simulating how to get to that state of mind & body at will.  Any ideas?

This is a tried and proven method, sleep deprivation does indeed make things easier. The constant conscious effort to stay awake becomes something like a reflex action, if only for a little while, and makes it easier to keep lucid and retain mental critique. This is how I got my second experience.

I'm sure Athel will post here regarding the ups and downs, he's a fan of this method : p

If you're really struggling for your first experience then perhaps try it but don't pursue it any longer than 2 nights max. To even suggest this is slightly irresponsible but truth be told I've done things which were almost crazy when I first started taking an interest.

Wow, this is exactly why I was hesitant about posting my expirience.As im sure most people realise, sleep dep is highly damaging to the body, mind and central nervouse system, dont go there.

My most enjoyable most memorable and meaningful obes have been at times when i have been grounded, happy healthy and of peacfull mind. In my expireince its completely different if you having a realy bad time.

Just meditate, a peaceful mind promotes the connection to your higher swelf which in its self a path to spritual growth and enlightenment, a by product of which is often, compassion, clairvoyance, increased psychic ability and often the ability to AP with ease. Please note these are often by products of spiritual growth not the reason for growing.

I know psychics and mediums who can AP at will, im guessing this would due to their encreased mind energy, stillness and grounding, either cultivated over time or natural or both.

MK,

Thanks for sharing. 

We all have our "dark night of the soul" when it seems like things are way out of control and might even not be right again.  Some of us are less prone to admit it! 

Each day is an opportunity to grow and learn.  I agree that sleep dep is a harder way to go about it.  It does wear down the physcial self.  I have learned the hard way.  When I was 21 years old (I'm now 53), I could handle that, and a lot of other idiotic habits,  but  I was on a path to "flame out" real quick.  A lot of my friends didn't make it out of the 1960's-80's.  A wise person said, "Trust me!  There's a fulfilling life of love and joy here if you give yourself a chance!" 

It's cool to "be free" and explore the inner depths of spirit, but there is much I still want to experience on this physical plane with my family and friends before I move on.  I have more appreciation for taking care of the physical body now than I did when I was younger.  I'm all into acheiving OBE's and other meaningful "spiritual" experiences, but I've found more joy in finding them through peaceful meditation.  I feel better physically too!  May you find what you are looking for through the grace of love and peace,
DH.
