OOBE questions

[spudamore]

i am a bit experienced in LD and OOBE. had a few consciously controlled experiences but the majority of the experiences have been spontaneous. and wanting some help on oobe technique. also when these things happen everything still has a physical diamension to it. like can't get past walls and such. i can get deeply relaxed, so very little physical sensation. i can move my conscious awareness outside of my body. but i can't get that little further to fully project away from my body. so any tips on how to do this consciously??? what do i have to do to fully project?? cheers for your help

During a lucid dream, crash into a wall. Just as your body slams into the wall you will find yourself projecting out of your body.

Everything must be at a perfect balance when trying to OBE. Concentration, relaxation, and a reliable exit technique. Help at: www.astralpulse.com if you already haven't been there.

Yes, it worked for me the few times I tried it. The idea is that you bring your attention to your body and pop out.

You are confusing OOBE with astral projection. An OOBE by definition is actually physically leaving your body. This requires much more than just slamming into a wall. It takes lots of concentration and effort. It can be done while lucid. In an OOBE you would see things EXACTLY as they are in the waking world. The only difference is you would be not in your body. Even if in your OOBE everything seems real except there is a cup on the couch you are just dreaming. After you have an OOBE you need to wake up and see if everything is exacty as it was in the OOBE. If even one tiny little thing is different you were most likely dreaming. Also, since you have left your body, you would not feel the effects of gravity. You would not even be in a body. You would be able to feel things like heat, but would travel through all objects. It is really quite and interesting experience, but it must be just like I have explained or most likely it is not an OOBE.

Concious-exit OBEs are much more vivid and clear than normally spontaneous ones or dreams. A concious exit requires a great deal of mental energy to achieve, but it is worth it.

I do not think it takes much energy at all to acheive a concious split. infact some sleepyness is required. A.P. OOBE,s lucid dreaming what ever you wish to call it are simply the effect of your mind being aware while your body is asleep. As long as you can concentrate or not let your mind fall into a day dream you can A.P. I agree it may be difficult to maintain concentration, but I have never A.P.ed feeling like it took a lot of effort. More like a lot of noneffort. It is interesting, but it's no where near as amazing until you remain concious of yourself allday for weeks and then have an A.P. the dreamy feeling and the haze is lifted very much in this case. Meditation (whichever kind you prefer) will help drasticly.
