Dang it...

Last night I tried to AP, and I tried it sitting up because they said that you have a good chance of doing it that way since you won't fall asleep. So I went through the procedure, you know, relax, sit there and think for a while while your body starts to fall asleep, then talk your body parts into falling asleep. Well anyway, I did that, then I started doing the visualization that there is a ball on a chain in front of you and it's swinging back and forth, and how you get attracted to it every time it swings close to you, and finally after you think you want it very bad you reach out and grab it. they said it's supposed to pull you right out of your body. Well I "grabbed" for it, and I felt this weird feeling like i was being pulled, it's hard to describe, like you know how if you go on a spinny ride, it pulls you towards the middle, well it was like that feeling kind of, but it wasn't as hard, and it was pulling like, upwards kind of. It frustrated me because that was happening for a little, and I thought I was going to AP, and nothing happened. So I went to bed, and I woke up at 2 in the morning, cause I asked my Sub-C, to wake me up like they reccomend in other articles. Waking up and getting completely awake, then trying again. Well I did that, and i think i remember getting that similar feeling, but that time I was laying down, and nothing happened. Anybody have any tips on actually getting out of your body that work for yourself. (Sorry if this seems rather long)

well at least you felt something the first time and i bet that if you keep practicing you'll get better at it

I'd say this was a nice attempt and it seems you got pretty close to leaving your body. I applaud your efforts but one of the major problems that hender seperation is the position and comfort level of your physical body. The article you read said to sit up so you won't fall asleep? Maybe that has worked for some but most people don't understand that your physical body must be as relaxed as humanly possible before you can seperate. There's no doubt that your body must be SLEEP to AP. If your physical body is in an uncomfortable position and not resting well then more than likely you won't make the escape. If you somehow do, then it'll probably be very brief. Mind awake, body asleep is where you want to be. It's physically impossible to AP while your body is awake. The more comfortable and relaxed you are, the better chances you have of seperating. Keeping your conscious mind lucid is the true hard part. But that usually comes with practice. Most people's ambition to AP usually bring them successful.

Good luck =)
