Seriously - get some punctuation!

i had been laying on this flat surface when i felt a shift in my body like it felt as though shifted to the left

That was probably your conscious awareness going "out of phase" with your physical body. It is possible to shift your awareness to other energy bodies, which act as vessels for your consciousness. Such an energy body might feel not quite aligned to your current body (what Monroe called the 2nd body or is generally the 2nd body), or you might even shift directly to the astral (like the 3rd body or astral body) or beyond.

my arms felt like they were rising on there own

Astral limbs like legs or arms are known to float up upon "partial separation" where it feels like part of your projecting energy body is "stuck" within the shape of your physical body. The part of you that "gets out" seems to float while the rest doesn't.

it felt as though i was levitating

Floating or levitating are common means of transport in the astral, as is instant thought travel/teleportation.

i felt like me hands were tingling

Stimulation of the energy bodies can induce changes in the associated parts of the physical body. Since your arms "got out" they probably got stimulated. If areas in your body are stimulated that contain so-called energetic blockages, feelings of tingling, tickling, itching, etc. are not uncommon.

i am wondering did i move to a new level in astro projection and why is my hands still stinging

You were with high probability having a so-called "real-time zone projection", a part of the astral that mirrors our physical world but is experienced out of body. In this real-time zone it seems like we're in the "real world" and then somehow not. Things like floating and moving through things are possible. The real-time zone is the part of the astral plane that's most acceptable to the conscious human mind as it mirrors its usual experience so strongly.

Once you have led an increased amount of energy through a part of your body, it starts to get a stronger sensititivity for a while. It's like getting a stronger nerve response. This makes you feel the state of your hands more, for example. If your hands had some minor inconvenient sensations before these might now be amplified. That is usually no reason for worry, but if you are worried, just see a medical practitioner and let him/her check your hands.

Take good care,
