Hello everyone,
I want to ask how was your first OBE? I mean what techniques did you used? how long did it take? how long have you been practicing? Please write down your story in detail. This information is very great value to me. Thanks.

When I was a child (7 or 8), no techniques, just a desperate need to be somewhere else.

Hello everyone,

It was in my student dorm room, must have been sometime in 2005. I had listened to a Focus 12 tape from the Gateway Experience - the series of binaural training tapes for OBE the Monroe Institute provides. This might have been one of my first tries at Focus 12 - what the Monroe people call "the state of expanded consciousness."

The tape itself had effects, but did not provide an OBE. That night I became conscious and it was dark. I saw nothing. Several strange things happened. I heard laughter, and I thought somebody must be having a party on the hallway (again). Only to realise that it sounded like directly in my room. I may have even wondered how they did get in my room at some point. It must have been astral noise.

The other thing was that I would drift around, like being a point of consciousness. Even though I saw nothing, I heard - seemingly with my physical ears - my alarm clock ticking. Now when I would move it was like I would move away from the sound I heard, like it was reversed, as if I was moving away from my own ears! I would move in different directions, not really realising I was having an OBE. I was just exploring this drifting sensation, never wondering where that came from.

At this point in time I had not ever meditated nor did I know what energy work was. I had just used the Monroe tapes. I also had done the Monroe exercises "Living Body Map" and "Energy Bar Tool" which indeed are energy work exercises, but I did not realise that back then. The exit was spontaneous and went unnoticed, I just became aware in the situation I found myself in.

There is at least another time where I mixed up the senses of the physical and the energy body - hearing from a different place.

Thanks for the help. Im so glad i found this forum. Im actualy about 6 months practicing all sorts of techniques and stuff including hemi-sync. I read all about OBE's that i cud find on the internet, I also read Robert Bruce's "Mastering astral projection". The last weeks where the most intense. I praticed during all of my free time day and night up to 5-6 hours a day. I dont have the luxury of time. Im putting all of my energy into one last effort.

The problem for me is "trance" or "mind awake body asleep" or focus 10 however you prefer to call it.
So How are you supposed to know when you are ready to seperate? ( when the inner projection occurs)
I do meditation for an hour and i get the numbing like sensations in my arms and legs sometines i loose the sense of touch in my palms however i get the identical symptoms during energy body stimulation wich is confusing. I get to the hypnagogic state to but that is about it.

I had some success to. Durring my very first meditation (wich i started only because it can lead to an OBE, and my dessire for obe's is so BIG) I started to calm my mind and observe my breath about half a minute later i felt some strange energy sensations running up my chakras from bottom to top once they reached the brow center I just got a strong warm energy sensation running up and down my body. I got soo excited that i lost the this state and went back to normal. I was shocked how fast it all happened the whole meditation lasted about a minute . after that i had strong vibrations for nearly half an hour. ( i did not knew about the vibrational state then so it was a little shock) Ever since i get mysteriously leaned back while meditating. viewtopic.php?f=28&t=14156

But i was never able to reapeat this . but i came close once the first time i tried to project using rope. basicaly i did relaxation exercises for 10min then mind calming for 5 min or so and just began climbing the rope for fun about after 5mins of climbing i got the warm energy moving up and down again... but i failed to projet.

Perhaps you could explain what are the circumstances that seem to make this so urgent to you?

Take care,

Well i wish that there cud be a way to explain everything. But its not just about me its about me frieds too I cant let them down by failure. Lets just say we are in very bad circumstances and the only way out is by OBE. Since the last hope all this presure on me is driving me mad. I have let down people before so I dont want it to happen again. I think you shuld understand.
