The goosebumps and snoring sounds..

[Do]

I too sometimes experience the "goosebumps" feeling although I know it's not that cold in the room.  For one thing, when the physical body relaxes, the body temperature can drop a bit causing you to feel cold.  It doesn't hurt to have an extra blanket handy.  Sometimes when the feeling is quite extreme, I suspect it's due to energy movement in my phys.bod. but this is just a theory at this point.

As to the sudden movements you experience, it may be because you've momentarily drifted out of phase with your phys.bod. and are slipping back in, or more likely it is due to energy movement within the body as you relax.

These are all good signs!  Recognize them, acknowledge them, and try to remain relaxed.  (Easy for you say, right?)

I have found that the key to the requisite physical relaxation and dealing with an overly busy "mind" is really just practice.  No magic, just practice.

Best wishes,
Do

Hey guys , I'm still having problems with falling sleep but I find that .. when I am in a noisy environment I can still manage to try to go astral and fall asleep. I notice a few different things now when I try to project.. I will eventually catch myself snoring or for some reason I will feel liek I just got the chills and goosebumps even though I'm not cold at all. This usually happends on my arms or shoulders.

A little while ago I was tryign to go astral and my whole body jumped furiously and it felt like I was a bit out of position on the bed .. it felt like my astral body zapped back in my physical one and had left me feeling as if I was a foot or two to the right of where I was supposed to be lieing down.

Does anyone have any clue as to how you know your in astral or any tips on NOT falling asleep? I have trouble keeping a totally silent mind and I usually use that to get me deeper into a relaxed state but soon fall asleep.
