Ok, this is my first post. I'm technically just saying hi!

Anyways, even though I'm new to posting, I have been off and on reading things on this page for about a week now, err maybe 2. It started off with ki balls, just for fun, and now I'm working on oobes.

So far I think I've had a little success, I'm really not sure though. I used NEW's energy building techniques and I'm like really hyper now. Ditsy even. And more recently I've been trying to focus and relax for the oobes whenever I want. So far I've just developed a really really bad buzzing headache, sort of like when you shake your head violently for a bit and you get dizzy, without the dizzy part of it.

More importantly I did something really strange on Friday. Let me explain. I was at church with a friend, via invitation (I don't go to church normally, but did it for him). I was in the front row of this small "Iglesio de Cristo" Philipine sanctuary, and I was trying to get a deep relaxation while I wasn't listening to the sermon. Then after about 15 minutes I noticed the potted white flowers in front of me...a nice boquet. It seemed that they were almost breathing, like the whole bunch of them were increasing and decreasing in size on a breathing basis...I tried "seeing through" them, like sort of a visual technique to make sure you're really seeing what's happening, and it seems that it was all in my head...I guess it could've been my eyes doing a fisheye thing you see in games today (but it was just the flowers doing this...how do you explain that?).

Ok bad first post...long too, if you need ANYTHING involving further descriptions or whatnot of what went on when I saw the pulsing flowers, I'll give you them. I truly hope someone can explain it. I'm probably leaving info out anyways. When I'm not in shy mode, I'll be working with a variation on Trisha's method for oobes (since her concept of relaxation is a crutch to me...meaning that if you can hit a homerun on ANY pitch like Mark McGuire, why would you resort to only hitting fastballs? Aka if you can go oobe at any time if you're relaxed enough why would you resort to only doing it when you have the ideal conditions for it?). I'll be around, thanks for listening.
