Trying to astral project

[TeodoraMC]

Hy, I recently started trying to astro project myself, and something went strange. I started relaxing my body and then I was feeling that my hands are pushing out of my body like they wanted to come out and my legs were spinnig. I realised that something was blocking me and then I felt a great pain in my eyes. I tryed to open them but my legs were still spinning, I finaly managed to open my eyes and went back to sleep. Had the most horrible 3 nightmairs in  my life and the pain in my eyes persisted for 3 days!!! How cand stop the pain??? everytime I try to do somethin like this my eyes are mooving right and left verry fast and it hurts! Thanks.

Wait and try it after 4 or 5 days. May be then you are able to do it without any pain.

Sound to me like you're managing to project, but panicking when things don't happen as you expect them to. Try to stay relaxed through the whole process.  If you find yourself partially out-of-body, stay calm and explore different exit methods. If one doesn't work after a few seconds move on to another. If your eyes won't open, don't try to force them.  Just go with the experience and your eyes will open of their own accord, whether you're awake or out-of-body. Staying as relaxed as possible is key.

Thanks.
I'll try to be more relaxed. The fact is that for me it seems like I have done it before because few years ago, I remember like it was the most real dream ever: I was like a white light floating above my body but my feet were still conected with my physical one's! Back then I didn't know what I was doing, but now knowing all this I think that was a partial astral projection no? It is very easy for me to separate my body from my esence, so to speak, that is what I do when I relax! I have to read some procedures of how to do it and try them exactly! I will try tonight!
I hope I'm writing in the right place, I just opened my acount here and I don't exactly understand it all!!

Yes it sounds like you had some spontaneous OBE's in the past. You shouldn't have much difficulty as you seem to be able to reach the point of projection fairly easily. Just work on staying calm, and learning to control the exit.  I would pick a few exit techniques and try each one in turn for a few seconds, until you discover which ones are effective for you.
