Your First OBE Experience, Share first experience here Options

I've attempted OBE without much success twice using Rope techniques from Robert Bruce's Astral Dynamics (well, I am not even half finished reading it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) ) However, when I did tried it - I felt the spinning vertigo on the solar plexus he talks about when my etheric body "moves" - trying to break free - but that's how far it would go - when the vertigo started to hit, I think I freak out a bit (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol_2.gif) thus putting an unconcious self restraint on my progress to exit - damn! I need to learn to let go (IMG:style_emoticons/default/fie.gif)

Have you attempt an OBE? How did you do it? what did you do when you OBE/AP and how's that made you feel?

My first conscious and intentional OBE's were around 15 years ago ... I would literally raise my energies from the base and visualise them looping round and round my body in tight circles ... I would do this with my eyes open until I could actually see movement around me .... I then began to feel the first movement in the solar plexus and then closed my eyes .... looking upwards from behind my eye lids .... the movement would then move into a definate spiralling which would increase and increase with the momentum of a vortex ... then I would feel myself begin to rise up and rise up .... I would lose consciousness for a moment or two then when my awareness returned ... I was in my bedroom looking back at my sleeping form .....

The early attempts at moving on from that point resulted in a jolt back into consciousness ...

But with practice I became aware that I would think 'go downstairs' and I would literally move through my bedroom door and be aware of going down the stairs into the lounge downstairs ...

My awareness was like being ghost like ... disconnected from the scene before me ... in silence ... with an incredible feeling of warmth, peace, heightened awareness ....

Times I glanced around me .... I realised I had none of the 'astral chord' which the theory books talk about ...

I would often go out into the steet outside ... before visualising the location or destination I wanted to go to ... then I would think 'go to ......' or visualise the place ... the desire (which is the exact word) would take me there .....

Nowadays when I OBE ... I put meditation music on and state my intention mentally ... there are moments of light headedness and the sensation of movement within then ... I go through a recognised visualisation and I am out free of form ...

Movement and progress is definately via an instruction ... or a command like 'take me to ....'

Note: this is my own personal experience; what works for me may not for you. As with most magic, you find the way which works best for you .... and stick it!
