need someone to guide me with this

[lightworker]

I know everyone has questions but I think I need someone to explain to me what is happening so I know how to get through this.

I do not want to have a phobia of sleeping.

I turn to energy work rather than anti depressents to get rid of my constant fear and depression, and it's helped me a lot.
My only complain is when at night before I go to sleep, I feel something I do not know how to explain in words. Floating maybe, and a current of energy or strong pulse all over the body? I don't know...

I do not ask for this reaction, I just want to go to sleep. The first time I had it, I did not know what it was then I have my first panic attack. I thought I was dying.

Can someone here guide me. I am a developing a fear of closing my eyes to sleep because it is every night I am scared of this feeling. Last night, same unexplainable feeling. I do not want to close my eyes because of this.

This type of feeling is a natural consequence of doing energy work. I do not know how you could stop it from happening, other than trying to exercise during the day to ground yourself in the physical.

However I would rather not be concerned about the feeling and not let it cause fear. Your account sounds similar to the sensations felt in the pre-OBE stages, such as energy vibrations.
This is perfectly natural, too. The chances are that nothing bad will happen as a result of these experiences. It is certainly an indication that your energy body is developing - and the effects of this might take some time to become accustomed to.

thanks, so you say I should not be afraid. Ok. So if nothing will happen bad I geuess I can sleep well now. thabnk you again.

I also think they are exit sensations. You may be spontaneously projecting. Have you had an OBE before?

[sash]

The sense I got is that lightworker does not want these sensations in the first place. However I agree, especially if going with the sensations and practicing a few astral projection techniques, if this is what she wants the potential to achieve it is there.

okay, I had a great sleep last night. the feeling was nnot there last night.

CFtraveler, Akex, I do not know if I have OBE because I'm not reallly knowledgable with this.

My only concern is I am not familiar with this feeling before and do not know what it is, I think it is what causes my fear. Maybe I should read more about it.

I am interested in this "pre-exit sensations". I do not just want to stop energy work just because of this.

Here are some resources that might help:

Astral Projection (includes "A Treatise on Astral Projection" by R. Bruce) (http://www.spiritual.com.au/astral.html)
Treatise on Astral Projection (on this site) (http://www.astraldynamics.com/tutorials/?BoardID=65)

http://skepdic.com/astralpr.html -- short summary
http://www.rotten.com/library/occult/astral-projection/ -- another useful site
http://www.jksalescompany.com/dw/astralprojection.html -- the astral projection process
http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/A593002 -- more info and lucid dreaming

The more info you have about it the less fear it should cause from the concern of not knowing what is happening.

thankyou.

I just read this treatise on astral projection by mr. bruce.

so he says there is OBE that is in real time, astral rojection and lucid dream which is distorted.

I cannot say I had a clear OBE because how do I know it is real time what I am seeing. Anyway, the concsiousnes inside a dream, I have had, the astral projection I am not sure.

thank you. I think I will read on the topics on the main page and just post if I still have questions.

Thank you again sash.

I think now I understand.

From what I read on the articles on the main page, Mr bruce tells the astral body naturally energizes when we go to sleep.

Maybe because of my energy work, it is only now that I am aware of this happening.

I think that is it, right?
