I had a breakthrough last night, prior to my projection.
I decided that instead of getting frustrated working on trance for 40 minutes and then giving up, I would just work with conciousness shifting exercises. I also kept these exercises laughably simple. Here is the result.
(1) I just laid in bed, imagining myself on the ceiling looking down. Now, I dont know about you guys, but i can only do this for a split second at a time before my awarness is back in the body. But, I kept doing it, every split second I would imagine myself on the ceiling looking down at my body. Everytime my awareness came back in, I would send it out again. After 10 minutes, the exit sensations were acute. I was really feeling quite light, floating. I got disturbed, and stopped.
(2) During the night I had multiple projections, 3 maybe 4. But the last 2 sank into dream. I was drifting in terms of conciousness. Kept saying "clarity now!" and clapping, but it only had minimal effect. I managed to explore more of my house this time though. Perhaps next time I will try to visit astral pulse island if I remember.
Now what I think is that (1) I am questioning the necesity of trance for myself. (2) Perhaps in some way, I losened my astrality, and it led to the further projections.
