I'm new here. I just wanted to say hey and introduce myself, I believe my first projection was on my 8th birthday. I was passed out asleep and "opened my eyes" and noticed I was floating above myself, sort of spiraling upwards away from my body slowly (that's really all I remember of it) and I of course just thought it was a strange vivid dream. I've always been interested in paranormal, psi, telekinesis and astral projection, telepathy etc, and eventually started to try projecting on purpose but never was able to, this lead to me listening to hemi-sync and binaural beats music.
Shortly after I started listening to this type of music, and trying to project.. I developed "Sleep Paralysis" and would wake up unable to move quite often, at first it was scary and I thought I was dying but over time I got used to it and figured "oh this is nothing new, just that darned sleep paralysis again" but after some time, realized that I could go into "lucid dreams" and sometimes would even get up out of bed, find my way to the kitchen and realize I wasn't really awake, even though everything was so vivid (One time everything was more vivid than this reality as we know it, that was amazing!)
so anyways, eventually as I kept experimenting, still never able to induce AP/OBE at will and always only experiencing it through random Sleep paralysis, i started to get a strange tingling on my forehead, right in the center which feels like a swirling energy that started to get more and more noticeable, it was very distracting and I'd find myself rubbing my forehead often trying to make it go away, especially when it started to trickle down my face/temples. I had no idea then that there was something called the third eye chakra, and simply thought I had nerve issues.
because I was never able to induce obe on purpose I gave up, the forehead tingles went away (i can still feel it but it's not as strong) the sleep paralysis is a lot less frequent also.
I just decided to look into OBE again because I'm having extreme insomnia and originally was researching relaxation/meditation to sleep, but stumbled back upon this info.
maybe this time around I'll be able to accomplish something :-D I really want to see "the park" so many people claim to have seen, I first heard of it from Robert Monroe.
If anyone knows good hemi-sync or binaural beats to assist that'd be great.
Thank you all :lol:
also an ironic fact about myself: I am terribly fearful of death as I worry I may cease to exist, and also although I do believe in OBE I am a big skeptic, even after already experiencing it something in me always doubts :roll: maybe that is holding me back?

I'm always curious why people are afraid of this... I mean, think about it this way, if you DO cease to exist when you die... then you really don't have anything to worry about anyway. LoL :)
In any case, projecting changes your view of death... in my opinion, I now view it as a shift in awareness. Nothing more. :)
I know this is going to sound morbid and probably just plain WRONG but when someone I love dies now I actually think, "Lucky bastard!" LOL. Ok, just for a split second. Then I return to my selfish reasons for mourning like the rest of the people who loved him/her.... because I will miss them. But I mean I don't think death will be a bad thing at all. Having had so many experiences with the other side... I KNOW that there is more than this life. I for one can't wait to feel what it's like to be TRULY FREE. The only reason I would not want to pass away/cross over at this point in my life is because I have two beautiful children and a husband whom I love and would miss deeply - again selfish reasons. Haha. I think Xanth is right... projecting CHANGES your view of death.
There's a song that says, "Every new beginning comes from some other beginnings end...." I think that about wraps it up. :-)

That's actually your societal conditioning kicking in that says that DEATH MUST ALWAYS BE A BAD THING.
Don't worry dude, I also think "lucky bastard".
I'm not sad at funerals... quite the opposite actually, I'm cheering on the inside, cause I *KNOW* they're in a much better place.
I feel more sorry for the people who are saddened by funerals, as they don't have a clue.
hey, im new also. Nice to meet everyone =]
