My favorite method of projection is the Wake Back To Bed method. Lately, I haven't been conscious enough to get out. I seem to fall asleep and remember only an impression of consciousness upon wakening.

So, I began trying Wake Induced obes. I still use the WBTB method, but instead of falling asleep after setting an intention, I'll use Robert's ROPE method.

Last night I had great results. I felt the dizzying vertigo in my chest and my limbs and extremities felt light and tingly. At a certain point--right before the vibrations--I felt a great amount of energy surge through my chest. My heart then began to beat very hard and rapidly. It also felt like a pulsing of energy in my abdomen.

Each time I try a Wake Induced method, my heart rate immediately jumps from resting to "Did I just sprint 100 yards?" This effect seems to distract me and I lose concentration each time. When my heart beats that hard, I feel the need to move around.

What can be done to overcome this if possible?

That's not your heart. It's your heart chakra. Don't let it scare you. If they tested your physical heart rate they would find it had slowed down.

Sry to barge in on this topic but:

Please tell me you're not just guessing about this? I've been really worried about this for the past few months, it feels like my heart is racing really fast (seems dangerously so), then a rush of air in my ears followed by what can only be described as OBE, I read about the vibes before but its always just been in my head, the odd time in my stomach..

Frequent flyer btw.

She's not guessing. If you can feel your heartbeat and make sure that it isn't physically beating rapidly, the combo of rushing noise + heart sensations are classic OBE exit symptoms.

Robert Bruce Treatsie on Astral Projection

Heart Chakra: The heart chakra merits special mention due to the strong, and sometimes frightening, sensation it can cause. When strongly activated it can feel like your heart is racing at an impossible rate. It is a powerful sensation. Try and ignore this when it happens, it won't hurt you. It is not your heart racing but the chakra working. I know this is easier said than done, ignoring it, but with practise and familiarity you can. This racing is more apparent in the early stages of development. I think this is caused by a lack of energy flowing from the lower centres. In a way it is like a pump racing, when it does not have enough fluid to pump.

The heart chakra, when fully operational, feels like: Place one hand on your chest, with your finger tips resting in the middle of it over your heart. Tap your fingers on your chest, in time with your heart. Increase this rate until you are tapping as fast and hard as your fingers can move.

Note: Your actual heart rate does NOT speed up with this racing sensation. If you hook yourself up to a heart monitor, you will see that your heat beat hardly changes at all.


10 MUST KNOW Astral Projection symptoms.
by Abhishek Agarwal

1. Vibrations
Vibrations are probably the most common of all pre-Projection sensations, and you should be fully prepared for it.

You might feel as if a part, or all of your body begins to "vibrate". These vibrations normally start slow and gradually intensify. If you experience this for the first time, you might get startled and feel that your entire body is being electrocuted from head to toe! Although the vibrations can be very intense, they are not physical vibrations because nothing physically vibrates.

Vibrations are a sure-shot indication that you are very close to a successful Astral Projection..

2. Sleep Paralysis / Catalepsy
Sleep Paralysis or Catalepsy is another very common symptom that you might experience during your Astral projection practice.

Sleep Paralysis is a state when you may suddenly find yourself unable to move or speak. Your physical body will feel so completely "paralyzed" that you simply cannot seem to budge any part of your body at all.

If you don't know what's going on, it can be quite scary. But do not be alarmed when this occurs because this condition is perfectly safe. Astral Paralysis means you are very close to the actual exit.

3. Buzzing And Other Sounds
Most common sounds that you can hear are buzzing; whooshing, rushing, roaring, explosions or bird squawking, a chime being struck, knocking, thumping, voices of people conversing with each other, gunshot, loud bell.

Out of all these, buzzing seems to be a very common pre-Astral Projection symptom and can intensify so much that you feel there are hundred helicopters in your ears!

These sounds are temporary and subside once the separation process is complete. Recognition of such sounds is an important step because they prove to you that you are on track.

4. Visual Hallucinations
While practicing, you may also see geometric patterns, pulsating colors and lights, specific scenes, visions of paradise or hell or anything imaginable.

5. Rapid Heart Rate
Rapid heartbeat is a very common pre-Projection symptom.

The exact reason for this is unknown. But probably the racing-heart phenomenon is because of the opening up of the heart Chakra. Or maybe it is a side effect of fear or excitement. Either case, you need to remain passive and calm.

6. Breathing Changes
This is an apparent shortness of breath. You need to keep cool and the feeling would soon subside.

7. Movement Sensations
You may experience sensations of dizziness, vertigo, falling or flying up at great speeds, rocking or even swaying. These occur because it is the start of the Astral Projection sequence as the Astral body starts to separate from the physical. A very positive symptom proving that your Astral body has “loosened” from the physical confines!

8. Weight Changes
Changes in feeling of weight can occur.

You may suddenly feel that your body has become very heavy. Or you may feel very light, as if you are weightless.

9. Proportion Changes
You may also feel that your body is changing in proportion. You might have the sensation that you are growing or shrinking in size.

10. Temperature Changes
This is again a very common phenomenon. Your body temperature might drop and you will feel a cool breeze blowing over you.

Conclusion
People are different. Therefore, the sensations you experience will be based on your personality and individuality. The intensity of some of these sensations will vary from person to person. Each Projection attempt may yield different sensations, in a different sequence.

Thanks guys

Would have been embarrassing if I had to explain this to a heart specialist

[CedssypeEdids]

Probably the guy would have guessed you had a panic attack...

As long doctors get paid embarrassing stuff makes them good money...
