thank you so much for your experimentation and sharing your experience! (IMG:

relaxation is very important during this exercise. and like any exercise it can be overdone as well.
i suggest at least a 20 - 30 min break between the first and second attempts with relaxing and grounding. drinking a large glass of water and taking a salt bath help to neutralize bio field congestion in most cases, and this helps with any form of energy backlash. you may be experiencing a type of astral whiplash especially if you projected forcing too much will at the end.
i really admire your dedication to your goal of making the journey. if you choose to attempt tomarrow as well please begin with a relaxation, four fold breath etc.
also for a stabilisation you may wish to perform LBRP and/or may wish to add the LBRP grid setting exercise i gave at:
http://sacred-magick.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=1251it is in ceremonial magick section under "LBRP invocative method."
i hope this is of use to you. i like your name. shonen means like "saint" in japanese. not exactly but very similar. like shinran shonen. if you keep having problems or feeling sick please let me know. also if i can be of any further service to you let me know as well.
Blessings and peace!
