Hi Blueben,

Welcome to the forum. The symptoms you experienced are very common and usually due to energy center activity and not a racing heart etc. A good test is to actually measure your heart beat - you will see that  it is most likely at a resting rate between 60-90 beats per min... but may actually be little lower.

Similarly the throat center can make one feel a shortness of breath or mild to moderate gagging sensations. These will dissipate as your practice becomes more regular. For myself sometimes this type of discomfort comes back if I have been working on the higher centers, but on the whole they don't bother me too much. Some people find a need to swallow... if you do then do.. why gag!

e.g. Although this is for a different objective - I have seen trance mediumship tutors advice their students to avoid clearing the throat for spoken trance development. I feel this is wrong -  as why should one suffer discomfort! In the end run the energy center or chakra will develop at its own pace regardless - so why make things hard for oneself!

You are doing well - take your time and your practice will become all the more easier!

Best,


Stephen

Hi,

Welcome to the Astral Pulse forums, Blueben!  :)  Let us know about that website, and bear share.

Also, take a look at some of our threads in the OBE/AP area of the forum for some tips. Robert Bruce and Brian Mercer maintain a subforum here on OBE/AP and their book on Mastering Astral Projection which you might like checking out too.

All the best,
Nick
