Hello Lynda,
I believe everyone's experience is different, and if we can be at peace
as well
as calm during an obe, it can and will be a better experience for us.
Its good to read you Lynda.

Oh my God, how awful! I do hope, somehow, you can find some peace in all
this. I can
imagine the trauma you are going through. My father committed suicide 5
yrs ago. He was found
by his mother, hanging from the ceiling in their living room, in his
home country Bulgaria. He found out he
had later stages of cancer, and he had only a brief time to live. No
letter or will was written to his children (my brother and I)
so things are still unsettled in our minds with this.
I know it is important to get details so you can start the healing
process, and yes, I know you miss
your brother. Often, I've wondered if I could obe and go see my father
and make sure he is at rest. But
a part of me already knows he is, and it's a place I feel its forbidden
for me to visit at this time.
I will send you healing thoughts and prayers Duane.
Let me know if I can help in any way!
blessings

"I find I can OBE even when
my body is fully awake, how this can be, I'm still not 100% sure, but
it is true."

I've read of cases where this has happened. This is the dream. If you find out how
you do it you have to tell the rest of us :)  OBEing whilst awake would be ideal.

You could imagine: Info gathering, travelling, exploring etc.

I enjoy reading what you 3 often have to say, I just don't comment
often on what is said. My OBE experiences seem to be much different
from what you all happen to see, with my intentional destinations
often coming to sight straight away, and I need not to worry about
taking myself to a calm, quiet place, as I find I can OBE even when
my body is fully awake, how this can be, I'm still not 100% sure, but
it is true.

I agree with you Mark, I think that encouragement will work to help us stay
motivated. As far as technique, we all have our own way and our intuition will
show us 'our' way of doing things.
How are things going with you Mark? Mr. Duane is busy at work I believe. All
work and no play, makes a man very unbalanced Duane! ;-)

You know what?  I think we're the only three in here except for the
occasional spam!!  I don't know if you happened to read The Intention
Experiment, but it is very interesting.   It also has its own website
where various experiments are taking place.  It gives me an idea.

Let's pick a specific date & time (considering time differences)and
send one of us (or each other) some mental encouragement and
visualization toward successful projection.  I still believe that
technique is not as important as intention and attitude.  And that's
where we can and always have helped each other.

My own experimentation goes on, though with great lengths of time
between experiences.  It all counts, rare though it is.  But we can do
this, and I remain convinced it is ultimately a simple thing.  Let's
encourage each other and see what happens.

*The Bhandas*

The Bhandas are a system for closing off the body from the outer,
sensual, world, as well as opening the body to receive maximum benefits
from the flow of breath. Bhanda is the Sanskrit work for lock, and here
it has two meaningful translations. First, we can think of a lock which
seals off a room. The Bhandas seal out stimuli to allow us to turn
inward. Second, we can think of a lock which permits flow as through a
canal. The Bhandas improve the flow of our breath by physically
positioning the body for maximal breath capacity and by allowing us to
focus single-pointedly upon it.

Ancient yogic teaching tells us that our vital energy, or prana, is
carried through us upon the breath. Pranayama is literally the movement
of prana, or life energy. The Bhandas resist the dissipation of this
energy from the lower energy centers at the base of your spine, and
instead channel the energy upwards. Regardless of your thoughts about
this belief — scientific, rational or otherwise, the point is to
experience the practice of pranayama and gain what you can. Try these
breathing practices with the Bhandas and see if you’re not energized
beyond your everyday experience of breathing.

Please keep in mind the cautions mentioned in the introduction to the
section on Pranayama. These practices are very powerful, and should be
entered into with respect. Find an experienced teacher to work with you
in live classes in addition to your work from this site. Notice your own
reactions, and stop if you feel discomfort in any exercise. Going too
fast with many of these exercises can lead to dizziness or feeling light
headed (often due to mild hyperventilation). If this occurs, just sit
back and rest a while. Then, try a modified, simpler version or slower
pace with the exercise. Those with a history of high blood pressure are
advised to take extra precautions and to consult a physician before
undertaking these practices.

This morning started out early. I woke up at 6AM for attend to my new
puppy. As I got him to sleep on my chest on the couch, I started to doze
off. This is the perfect recipe for an OBE. I was in and out of sleep,
like a yo-yo in and out of consciousness. I started to feel the tingle
and buzzing within my mind. So I focused on the roll out method instead
of the up and lift. I made myself feel as if I were rolling off the
couch, and sure enough I felt like I the oil in water, slowly moving
down towards the floor. I had forgotten what a wonderful sensation it
was to go OBE, I could feel my power point near my first chakras fire up
with wonderful energy.I was now on the floor wondering where to go next,
when all of a sudden, my cell phone alarm goes off. All I could think of
was 'damn'.
Good Luck to all of you!

That's so cool! I feel Hypnotherapy would be more satisfying professionally than just
building databases.

So we live in hope.

Currently, Coles Group (formerly ColesMyer Ltd which I used to work for) is looking at a DBA position
for me and want me back in Melbourne. So I'm either going to get my Hyp Certificate here or back
in my home town. :-)

Meanwhile I have some interesting experiences from last night when I tried to autosuggest APing.

I've had only 1 OBE since last April :-( The reason being, they usually
came when I took naps. Since my kids were home form school over the
summer break, I wasn't able to nap at all during the day. Now, I am
going to back to school (On-line) and started to paint. So still my
OBE's don't come due to nonstop schedules.
