Intense. Thanks for sharing.

My experiences are limited, but it started about two years ago. I was very into yoga at the time and spent some time alone during this period, meditating and things like that. I used to get stoned while I was doing this as well. A few months into the yoga practice, I noticed getting high was different. I would be laying down listening to music stoned and my body would vibrate. At first it wasn't intense, but as I progressed, the intensity grew. I began reading a book intitled "Journey's out of the body" by Robert Monroe. A great read, btw. In the book, he explains some of the signs that you are about to leave the body astrally. The first one is vibration.

I began toying with this for a while, using some of the techniques outlined in his book. For example, one technique suggested bringing about the vibrations and moving them up and down the body in a wave like motion. I did this and began to get very INTENSE vibrations. I capitalize intense because it literally felt like every molecule in my body was vibrating extremely fast. It was like I was turned into a human sized vibrator It was quite amazing and was sometimes too intense. This happened for a few weeks before I finally was able to lift myself out of my body. BTW, at this point it is probably a good idea to have good control of your mind so you can control your thoughts. As your thoughts influence the environment in this dimension, so too do they in that dimension.

So, one night I was laying down, letting the vibrations come naturally. At this point I was able to control them enough so I didn't feel like I was coming apart at the molecular level. I began to hear strange sounds. Buzzing, as if hornets were at my ear level. This common phenomena is really strange. It quite literally is like a hearing hornets. I can't explain it better then that. You also begin to hear ringing. At this point I am in a near sleep state, but still very conscious. This part is really strange and only when I look back does it hold true meaning. I heard a voice. It was a womans. She asked, "Are you ready?". I nodded tried to leave my body, but was unsuccessful that night.

The next night, I began again. I started to vibrate and entered a semi conscious state. Leaving the body is the hardest part of this. You cannot "think" yourself out. You have to know you are out. Same with seeing in the astral realm. You cannot just open your eyes physically. You have to know you can see. Kind of like peter pan You have to believe you can fly After vibrating for a bit, I began to "feel" I was ready and started to feel around. I felt the ceiling of my room. Well, I felt it with my back. It was a strange sensation. Very rough. I "believed" I could see and was staring down at the couch I was laying on. I could not see my body, however. But I was conscious that I was laying on the couch. Very strange. I floated around a bit in my room and went through the wall into the darkness of the basement. That was strange. Going through walls. Suddenly, I began to think. This is why I say you should have good control of your thoughts int his realm. I was thrust into, what you described, OldBastard, a vortex. A million things were popping up in my head and I was seeing a million things at once. I immediately came back to my body and ended the session. Haven't gone back since.
Dream of the iris Reviewed by Dream of the iris on . OBE astral travel Just wanted a kind of poll type discussion. I myself have left my body on 2 separate occasions, and please don't scoff: once you have experienced this you'll know it wasn't a dream, Lucid dream (although they are the most confusing), or other state of consciousness The last one, I was awake early in the morning (I have bad insomnia) and I tried going back to sleep. After encounters with a loud buzzing noise a few times, I entered into a state where I could control the perspective of "me" Rating: 5
