Everyone has blocks.. We can get rid of those... What happens when you try to move, say an arm or a leg, when you are in the mild vibrations? Are you paralyzed too? In my experience, no matter how mild the vibrations are, if I feel them at all, that means that the second body has slipped out of phase with the physical body, even if just a bit... I can always 'exit' whenever I feel even the slightest vibrations.Posted by WHOMADEGOD (here)
I have blocks, can't seem to get around, I feel fear of course but I know I can overcome this as I have in many astral adventure but they only happen once I have fallen asleep and as such the level of consciousness is not enough. When I try and OOBE the vibrations are minimal and I just end up asleep after an hour or so :-(
(Well, not always, as many times there is a very strong magnetic pull back to the physical body.) One of the things about the vibrations, for me, is that once I get them going, I can't shut them down,, they have to run their course, peak then subside,,, and I either have to 'exit' or just sit there and wait it out.
One 'trick' you can do to make the vibrations a bit stronger is once you feel them, make a strong effort to 'relax into them'. Try and not tense up... Relax into them like you are throwing yourself backwards onto a big fluffy feather bed... Try and do it at the end of a breath, coming into another breath. (That is my 'trance point',,, the point in which I 'feel' myself dropping at the end of each breath.) Relaxing into the vibrations at the end of a breath is basically a trick to get energy flowing through the main, torso channel. (This is the torso, starting from your gut, then up,,, raising another level of energy pulled into your diaphragm and flows 'up' from there into your head, or crown area.) I lay there and bear witness to this process more times than I can put a number to. In fact,, this is a natural process that occurs on its own, if we can just trigger it... And we CAN trigger it.
Here are the perfect conditions to for ObE...
Let's say that you are in a peaceful, dreamy sleep. You must be half asleep because you here what sounds like the sliding glass door open in the living room. Your eyes don't pop open just yet,,, but you are in an instant 'heightened' state of awareness,, and you instantly relax your entire body, very fast,, (easier because you were just sleeping) your motive focus sharpens, as you have become intensely aware, focusing on the sound. Your breathing has slowed (as you are trying to be quiet, so you can hear) to a slow steady pace. There is a heightened sense of awareness... With your body relaxed,,, this is the perfect state for ObE... After a sleep or a nap. Your body is in a deep state of relaxation and your energy body is aglow!!!
Another thing you can do is to not try a full exit, but just a partial one... If the vibrations are forgiving,, try and just move an arm. Or just concentrate with your eyes closed to see if your 'vision' comes. (this is the exact point where 'seeing through closed eyelids' occurs.)
All of the blockages and energy level problems,, we will tackle when I get to Robert Bruce and Energy work... I will run down Monroe today,,, and then I will start in with the energy work.. In my opinion,, Energy Work is the missing basic when it comes to triggering ObEs or when it comes to inducing them from scratch... Energy work will also increase memory recall. Energy work will also make for a robust experience while out of body, as energy levels will be ideal, and you won't run into as many snags,,, i.e. losing vision, becoming 'heavy' and not being able to 'fly', becoming disoriented, mental clarity,, etc... Also, energy work (goes by many names in many cultures) is an age old healing modality... I was mapping out my energy body long before I had ever heard of Chakras... Inspired energetic flow throughout your energy body system will remove blockages. (A blockage gave way in my heart center once,,, it felt like when you get your circulation back after it was cut off,,, it was an obvious 'flowing' and it broke away.... I cried for about 3 days,,, as I was healed.)
I will dive into it tomorrow... I just finished reading 'journeys out of the body' again,,, and I want to lay down some facts/references about Monroe, then we can get to the energy work... I'm trying to lay it out step by step so that everyone can get their heads right about the reality of the ObE before we start in with energy work. Energy work also helps loosen some jarred memories, and that can be very powerful too...
There's also a trick that I have taught to several people that has worked wonders for their trance practice. (practice into lowering into trance.)
It is a take off of Muldoons first step, and that is to find a delicate way to keep yourself on the verge of wake and sleep...
I call it the 'Slap Jake' method!!! (and if you get out of body,, feel free to find me and slap me,,, )
It is simply, you won't like it, but it works.
You have to lay on your back. Get comfortable and get ready to fall asleep.. Raise one of your arms out in front of you, pointing up, relaxing your hand directly over your face. Now,, fall asleep! (nobody can MAKE themselves fall asleep,, you have to LET yourself fall asleep.. anyways...) With this exercise, you don't have to try and notice a 'trance point',,, because you will find it abruptly after you 'go under' because your hand will drop, and slap you in the face. When that hand drops, and you are instantly brought out of it,, try and notice how far under you are,, and how groggy or forgetful you are... You have to try and get yourself to (eventually) stay awake and aware until you can simply watch your hand drop, as your body is relaxed and your mind is still, but awake...
That is the 'Slap Jake' method... It is a way to gauge how much trance work that you have in front of you before you can begin to use it to your advantage...
I promise we will get into Energy Work by tomorrow... I can sense that folks are starving for this missing basic...
Cheers, brother.

My friend, I will see you soon,,,, unless you beat me to it...
