Thanks again
It is about approach. If you are scared about losing control of your body, then what your wife fears is only logical. But when there is no fear, when there is only here and now, unattached observer... then there is a gap... distance between fear and curiosity. Fear has not power when there is nothing to fear of. Fear of unknown is illogical, when you take an unattached observation of it. You see that you fear something which doesn't exist... The sleep paralysis is only illusion. It is easily broken by concentration to move.
Your imagination can create something out of nothing. When you start to imagine something you are afraid of, then there is food for growing that fear larger... till it is unbearable. I lived it and I rejected it.
I had big problems with emotivity of my mind from puberty from what I remember. I didn't like it. I found ways around it. My way is to observe and not be touched by that what I observe. It is not perfect. Exercise makes perfection. And I exercise in all my time. It became my hobby to observe my emotions, feelings. Everything I do creates something in my mind. I chose to observe and not to react.
I have wife too. She is a good person and she has some kind of understanding for what I do. Some kind Really. She is not spiritual person. But she is very tolerant and open.
That exercise is distilled form of autogenic training. Very basic, nothing more is necessary, I think and I feel. Fourth point is added for OBE, most simple method I found. If you change fourth point for imagination of simple tunnel constructed of moving circles then you will reach unguided WILD (unguided because you will fly somewhere from that tunnel but not on place of your choosing. If you start to imagine static picture, very detailed, then it could lead to wild into pictured place(I have problems to do detailed imagination).
Dthoughts hands are better... We are changing world through them. Our mind is closely connected with our hands. Start with your dominant hand. Once the heaviness is felt it can penetrate through whole body and it is relatively easily amplified. With the warmth it is the same. Much harder is to concentrate mind into one... and then into nothingness, the true meditation. When being is observed by itself without thoughts, without judging, without comparing itself with something...
