Hi, I'm fairly new to this board, and am still feeling my way around. I was a fanatical Wiccan, when I first discovered the religion :o, and then abruptly left it, I think because I wore my enthusiasm out completely. Now I've come back, and I'm not so fanatical, for one thing, I can now actually take a joke aimed at magic or other stuff like that 8O.
Anyway, onto the subject of the post. I've been studying Astral Travel and Projection for quite some time. I have tried it, perhaps, ten times. Three of these times, I'm sure I came fairly close to having one. The first time, I was laying in bad, fairly new to this sort of stuff, and so my mind was wandering a lot, and so on. Then, a great sense of peace came over me, and I just melded into it, I must comment, this was by far my most amazing experience, in the terms of magick. I never really believed the theories on body energy and such, pretty much because I'm a person who likes his science, the idea that what I had believed for so long could be wrong was nothing if not disturbing. Still, I felt a strange...sense, when I talked of magick matters and such with friends.
Anyway, everything became peaceful and went quiet. My body became strangely rigid, which shocked me somewhat, however, I concentrated on the peacefulness of the scene. Then, I felt a vibration, stirring deep within my body, it became stronger and stronger, and my thoughts were composed of enthusiastic 'I'm doing it!' sentences. Then, my heart began racing, my breathing quickened, and I felt as though something was wrapped around my chest, making it hard to breath.
I forgot to mention, before the vibrations came, I experienced a great sense of vertigo, the same as when a car goes over a hill, and your stomach drops, however, this was stronger, and it was mainly with my hands, feet and head.
Then, everything receded, and I was left feeling strangely empty.
I have come to believe that my racing heart was actually my heart chakra opening fully for the first time, because of what I have learned since, and my shortness of breath because of my solar plexus chakra opening.
My other two near OBE's happened much the same, without nearly as much gusto as the first, I believe, because I was rather enthusiastic, and managed to cram far more than three OBE attempts into the same day, wearing myself out mentally, physically, and spiritually, however, it taught me an important lesson. The effect the spirit can have on the body, I now know that I CAN dangerously wear myself out.
But, I did not post this message to recount my experiences, even though it has felt good telling somone besides disbelieving family members. I was wondering, how many of you have had full blown OBE's and what were your preperation stages. I've got a fairly simple one, go into a deep meditation state (for some reason, I'm fairly good at this, and can reach one in under 5 minutes), and then just sit and try not to reflect, all the while, trying with my willpower to make my spirit leave, I did it like that on my first almost successful attempt, though, on the second, I imagined my bed turning upside down, and me almost falling out. I was wondering, am I going about it the right way, how can I improve my technique and so on.
Also, I have researched magick quite a lot, because, as most people, the idea fascinated me. I have done some slight spells, nothing big as of yet, but still, the results more than disappointed me, as nothing has yet come of them (having being cast more than a few months ago). Is magick, such as energy magick, possible. I have heard of people making invisible energy balls, and being able to move, and in some cases smash objects using them. I might sound naive in even half believing them, but I was wondering IS it possible?
Finally, the subject of psychics. As many, I have had my fair share of psychic messages, from knowing who is on the phone before I pick it up, to having a strange premonition, just before my brother plummeted more than 10 metres, almost to his death.
I was wondering, how many of you have developed advanced psychic abilities, such as being able to bring on telepathy, and such, when YOU want it to happen. I'm extremely interested in this field, and I wonder, if like your muscles, you can exercise and strengthen your natural psychic abilities.
Well, now that I've made pretty much the biggest post of my life (though, it won't look nearly as big on the board) I'm going to stop, get my breath back, and wait for replies ;).
