It's been quite a long time since I posted here, mainly because my attempts at OBE were going nowhere. I am pretty sure it was a function of some daily medication that I had been taking. I've been switched to a different med and it does not seem to be interfering with my attempts at OBE.
I've always known that I can have OBE's, as I have had a few spontaneous ones. I've read pretty much every book on the topic, and the two sources that I find to be most helpful are, of course, Astral Dynamics, and materials put out by Robert Monroe/The Monroe Institute. My interest in OBE was reawakened a few weeks ago when the television show "The Unexplained" did a two part special on the Monroe Institute. Since then I've gotten out all of my books on the topic and have been doing different meditations to help get me into the right place.
I've also purchased some Hemi-Sync CDs from the Monroe Institute and I think they have helped a lot as well. The biggest issue I have had has been fear. I've gotten to the vibration stage many, many times, but when I would start to separate the fear would overwhelm me and I had to stop.
This morning I got past the fear. This morning I woke up, got up for a moment to use the restroom and crawled back into bed. A few minutes later I felt the familiar vibrations begin. I told myself mentally that fear would not consume me this time...and I meant it. When it came time to separate, instead of letting the fear rule me, I allowed myself to feel it but kept going.
And then, it happened. I was out. It was crazy and uncontrolled, but I know that with time and practice I will gain more control and will be able to truly enjoy my OBE time. I stayed in my bedroom and looked at my husband (but not myself? I don't know why) from above. I felt very...umm...floaty, I guess is the word for it. Like I was completely weightless and almost like I was floating in water. Everything was very bright and clear and I was completely concious of what was happening.
I only stayed out for a very brief time; a few seconds. Oddly, though, when I returned, I had some difficulty. I honestly thought I was back in the physical and was trying to wake up my husband to tell him about it. I was being loud, saying "Hey! Hey! Wake up!" and even thrashing on the bed some. But I was still apparently out...because physically I did none of these things. My body didn't move and I realized it was my astral body doing all of this. It was disconcerting, because I truly thought I was back. A couple of minutes later my eyes just sprang open and I truly was back.
It was wonderful. Now I know the fear won't hold me back any longer and I can truly start exploring and learning as I've wanted to for so many years. I cannot wait for my next experience and to gain control.
My only sadness is that my husband doesn't believe any of this. When I told him about it he didn't want to hear it. I have no one in my life right now that I can talk to about these things. I am glad for this forum and I'm glad to be back here so I can at least share my happiness at this success with people who I know will appreciate what a huge deal it is.
Peace and love to you all!
