i had an experience not to long ago, dealing with obe's or, "astral projection."
it's been a while since i've had an out of body... but a few months back i would find myself trying to self induce an obe after having a few episodes of sleep paralysis. i took what i knew from sp and what i read online and tried to make my own way of successfully being able to project myself. i don't want to go to much into it, and i very well realize this could be some mental mind trip i am creating for myself and only feeding into my own imagination--- but at-least it provides for some entertainment(hehe).
as stated earlier it has been a while since i've tried to induce obe's simply because the feeling had not presented itself to me like it used to.. well the feeling presented itself to me yesterday morning- and i sent the episode to a friend of mine through private message... i'm going to directly copy and paste... please forgive the informality- i realize i don't come across as respectful as most would on this forum... i am only posting because of my curiosity on energy/vibratory levels... so basically my question is.. was this energy i was feeling? i want to learn more about this energy and also realize that your comments are only mere possibilities towards what the answer really is.. but i'd rather hear some idea's then to sit here in the dark without a clue. so here is the experience directly copy and pasted:
"hey--- i actually wanted to talk to you about an incident i had this morning hehe. it's been a while, so i don't want you to think this is the only reason i am contacting you- of course i like to drop on in and say hello- so hiya smile
how are you? how was your day? enjoying life? hehe
i don't really know why i am posting this--- because i really don't have any specific questions... this could be for validation purposes- or just to hear your two cents on the whole matter at hand...
as stated earlier it was this morning- i was on the verge of falling back asleep. it's been a while since i've tried to self-induce an out of body experience or astral project... i think because my mind has been distracted or the feeling just hasn't been set up right for me to go ahead and open myself up towards such an adventure. this morning was the first time in a long time... i was almost able to remember the process....

i started talking to myself- as most people usually do when trying to go back to sleep....in the beginning the talking is very broad and general covering so many things--- but over time-- the mind stick with one issue... and kind of plays it out in my head--- which i believe is how we construct day dreaming.. which i also believe is how people eventually are able to just let go and fall asleep... so yeah- starts with a bunch of ramble---> draws towards a subject(doesn't matter.. just something/anything)---> plays the scenario out in your mind(day dream)---> which eventually leads to falling asleep...

well i got this feeling i usually get right before i know i can try to, "project" myself. it was like i realized how fast my mind was going--- and i realized how my mind was still playing out a scenario in my head-- as i was thinking to myself separately. so i mentally put aside the day dream and brought it to the back of my mind... still day dreaming-- but i tried to become more physically aware of my surroundings... i started listening to the fan on my dresser, and the fan above me--- and i started listening to the silence...

as soon as i had the feeling like i was able to project.. i tell my body to accept it- and open up towards whatever this feeling is... and usually that is when i hear this noise approaching in my ear... i just lay there and let the noise come- it's this odd frequency-type noise that i can't really explain.. i was better able to explain the noise when i was new to the experience.. but now i'm to the point where i'm getting used to it-- not 100%comfortable.. but not really bothered by it anymore. so once that noise comes...

i tell my mind to project- i try to roll out of my body. i try to pull my head out from the weight of that which is my physical body. this morning however was such a struggle- it was very hard.. as it almost always is.. but i felt something that i have not become to familiar with. and this is my reason towards posting---

i was able to extend my arms out from my physical body... as if i was reaching out... trying to grab on.. and i remember once doing this a bunch of questions as far as why arose in my head. i could almost lift my head out... that was all though- just the front of my hands- finger tips... arms slightly pushed out.. and forehead... for that very small time i was out.. i felt something... it was this unfamiliar vibrational level. perhaps i have felt it before- but it was something new to me or at-least so i thought.

it was as if i could feel everything vibrating against my body... my bedroom- the area i was trying to project in.. it was like waves, rippling with a bunch of... ok it's rather hard to explain- but it's like a bunch of marbles.. circular shaped tiny objects compacted together vibrating against your skin.. it was so intense.. so strong! it was so heavy- and the force of it was beyond something i thought was possible. and not only that- i felt like i could hear the energy. i felt it resonate- and i heard it resonate- and i felt it everywhere... on me- in the room- around me... it was just everywhere.. and it was so so strong- and i could feel.

it didn't last long- i don't know if it was fear or if it was the fact that the energy was just so strong that it pushed my back into my body.. it pushed me back as soon as i had my hands out... and before i got out of bed i just pondered as to what it could be.. but later found myself singing don't worry be happy hehe.. so i know nothing bad came from this..

although the level of energy was so powerful that it was kind of scary- and i think that is why i found myself singing don't worry be happy.. to re-assure myself that it was all going to be ok. i have so many many questions... as far as--- if i'm ready to experience that kind of energy or not... or if i am heading in the right path.. but as the song says- don't worry be happy.. hehe so i'm going to try not to harp on it to long because i have faith it will all be ok in the end anyways..

it was just so strong. it was beyond anything i could have ever comprehended within my own thought.... which makes me know there is more to it... and the fact that i felt it- i could feel... it's just extremely crazy hehe---

and yeah.. i wanted to share that with you since you were pretty much the first person i came to private message on these forums with such issues. hehe--- although i wouldn't really consider this to be an issue. lol-

alright- take care of yourself and please let me know what you think
