Readers,
After reading all I could on this site I decided to buy a book about this subject. The first one I bought was on astral projections by a guy named THOMAS. It was very informative and interesting and covered lucid dreaming. I like this site b/c it does not impose the use of crystals and mirrors and the like into its framework. I decided to try a few of these techniques out a couple nights ago. Here it goes....I did not eat several hours before and i remained calm. I watched a yoga video I had purchased and went thru a few of the breathing exercises. I took valerian root and melatonin to help with my sleep. I focused my eyes inward and slightly upward towards my third eye, so they say. I used the breathing exercises I have read about and tried to clear my mind and only focus on a shape or object in the sky thru my eyelids. It is so hard to concentrate, its seems in theory easy to just laydown and think about nothing as you quiet your mind down. However, it is definately easier said than done. Five minutes into this i started to feel real weird. Like something strange was happening. I could feel my eyes moving rapidly and i could not control them. It felt different. Is this all in my head? I have finished 2 books about the subject of lucid dreaming and astral projection. It is just so hard to come to grips with the reality that I may possess this power. Any kind words would be appreciated. Also, the reason this experience ended was because I got kind of scared with what I thought may or may not have been happening. I believe if what i read was correct that my mind then because of my fear prevented me from going any further. I do not know anymore......
