Una pequena asistance, por favor

[AngelicSaiyan]

I've been interested in OBE and AP for about 4-5 years now, and I STILL haven't done it yet.  The farthest I've gone is the occasional conscious dreams.  I've tried the tecniques I find, but it's super hard.  Especially on the nights where my brain is a complete ADD case (which I'm borderline of).  

Any tips on doing this with a racing surface mind?  It gets harder as I drift deeper into trance, and the thoughts pour in with quite the pressue, and it seems like I can't silence it.

You might try valerian tea. Any health food store should have it or be able to order it. Stinks while it's brewing and it's an acquired taste, but if you don't overdo it, it can slow things down gently. Less chance of falling alseep, which can happen with valium, which is stronger. Good luck. ~

have you tried a method which involves repeating some kind of mantra along the lines of encouraging yourself to remember dreams, or become lucid, or astral project? I find repeating a sentence or two describing my desire to project is enough to completely occupy my mind, with the bonus that its in my head as i fall asleep.
