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?

Last night I think[b] I had my first OBE.

I couldn't sleep but I was very relaxed. I lay on the futon (as my partner had fallen asleep in my bed and I didn't want to wake him!) and focused on sending white energy to each of my chakral points seperately. When I got to the "Minds eye" chakra it was as if my mind had explanded and I was in fast darkness that just kept going.... Then I realised my arms that were folded over my chest were cold and felt like they were hovering over my actual arms.

Soon my legs (which regardless of temperature I always keep under the blankets) got the same cold, numb feeling and began to get the floating feeling too.

I continued to manifest my energy into my very top chakra where I then got an onset of vertigo and the feeling of sliding head first, downhill on my back. Through my minds eye I saw a vision of the sitting bhudda (I do not consider myself bhuddist in any way!) Then suddenly it stopped and I opened my eyes...

I haven't really read anything about or practised or even KNOW anything about OBE's... All I know is when I opened my eyes I felt completely reenergised (and I had only been lying there for about 20 minutes and it was 1am and I'd had no sleep!)
