I've had only 2 obe's,both several years ago, and nothing since,though I've been trying steadily with no luck. My first obe was listening to b.beats, I dozed off , and when I awoke I could see my tv through closed eyelids, and another time listening to BB,I just woke up while rising above my body. Both times I panicked and that was it. I always thought my first obe would be a continous process, SP, vibrations, then out. It was too freaky just waking up oob for the first time. Anyway,while practising I have this common problem, while trying to stay awake, waiting for SP and the vibrations, I suddenly ,while in kind deep meditation,suddenly gasp and my body jerks and I'm back to the beginning again and frustrated. Could I have other members opinion on my theory? I always assumed that I was still awake when I gasp and jerk, but thinking it over, do you think maybe I fell asleep, my astral body went out for whatever, and when it returned ,that was the jerking etc , from the two bodies realigning themselves? I could swear it didn't feel that I fell asleep, but thinking it over ,maybe I'm wrong? I've read other articles on jerking awake , but thought I'd throw in my 2 cents. Any advise or remedies for this problem?
