A few nights ago, I was attempting to have an OBE. After about 30-35 minutes of just deep breathing and stillness, I began to see white.
It was a kind of pulsing, keep in mind my eyes are still closed. I didn't feel as if I was in SP as I could still pay attention to sounds outside my window.
About 3 minutes of this passed and my leg jerked for some reason. The pulsing then stopped and I decided to go to sleep.
Can anyone tell me what this was? I am really confused. I really don't think it was SP, but I could be wrong. Can anyone shed some light?
Sounds normal. You were aware of your body going to sleep. It's one of the initial stages when phasing. A blanket change of backdrop lighting.
I wouldn't worry at all. I would of stayed with it and seen it through. Pity about the leg. :x
I would say the same as Szaxx. It is normal and there is nothing to worry about. It is a sign that you are close to ap.
The leg jerk is a very common occurrence for many people when they enter SP consciously aware. So I'm positive you were in SP.
I hate the leg jerk because it ruins about 20% of my attempts.
Wow awesome! Thank you for the information! I'm excited that I'm making progress now!
This gives two good hypothesis as to why we have these leg jerks.

The white pulsing in your eyesight and/or psychedelic patterns with eyes closed are called Phosphenes. They are basically your retina and visual cortex powering down.
