Was I Close? I felt like I was Electrocuted..

[TwixxDreams]

Okay guys I would like to say thank you, ive been scrolling the forums for a bit and its been really pushing at me to talk about what i felt while trying to AP. Here it goes....
Okay so i was relaxed in bed, on my back listening to "Astral Projection - Dancing Galaxy" I just sat and stared into the blackness while listening deeply to the trance music, then i got a little worried because my right arm was going completely numb.. I didn't know if i was having a heart attack or if it was just my body shutting off for the night, so i just went with it. Soon after i felt this electricity, it felt like i was being electrocuted through the top of my scalp, it was felt just like what i would expect electrocution to feel like, it actually kind of hurt a bit... It would stop, then zap.. And i would get a sharp pain while it did, this kind of scared me but i just let it happen. Then that stopped, but it felt like my mouth was drooping down, but i know i had my mouth closed, its almost like my astral body was drooping its mouth i guess, because i could feel my mouth closed, yet i could feel this drooping sensation as if it was really starting to open.. Soon after i decided to give up in my attempt, i noticed when i got up, it was as if i was really stoned, i just felt .. whats the word.. Heavy, i felt heavy but at the same time i felt floaty.. It slowly wore off as i went to the bathroom then came back to lay down,Then i fell right asleep. I have never felt that electricity flowing into my head before, and it was a bit painful so i don't know if id want to again.. lol . But its a new feeling to me.  I'm sure i could get used to it over time.. So my question is was this a close experience, was i close to the astral and messed up by opening my eyes and getting up to go pee?

You were very close to ap.  There are times when we can have weird ap sensations and it can put you off.  It can be hard to stay relaxed.

hmm, interesting.. Thanks.

And yes, i felt myself tense up every time that i felt the zapping. It was very uncomfortable, it stung a bit.. I find it easy to keep my mind blank so hopefully i can pull it off again..

If your experience was truly painful and not just extremely uncomfortable then I would keep trying. If it really was painful then I'm not sure If I personally would continue.

I believe that anybody can AP but I don't believe that it's for everyone for different reasons.

Good luck.

Thanks Zombie!

Yea there was a sting to it, i could feel the energy rushing in lol... But it wasnt anything i couldnt bare. I naturaly have a high pain tolerence, prolly from skateboarding.. lol

What you're describing sounds like a flash occurrence.
This is a strobe effect thats usually visual. It's a good sign that things are changing.
If this pulse becomes vibrational with the electric feel to it then youre doing better.
Accept it as a signpost.
I'll wait until another one occurs. You'll post it as it's not easily ignored. Then you're most of the way ready to have an experience you'll remember.
Keep going, you're doing fine.

Sweet! Thanks!

One Love.

My sign post for being able to exit is an electric pulsing (zapping) in my head. It starts off soft and increases in speed and intensity with every zap. I can feel it and hear it in my ears and head. It's a little uncomfortable, but bearable. If this sounds anything like what you're experiencing, it's normal and you were close to exiting.
