Eyes forced open?
 

I have been focusing on Astral Projection again after a few years break.

My last attempt I felt like I was so close, an hour in I felt like I had what was vibrations which mild tingles all up my legs and arms which I tried to move over my entire body, I experienced weight changes and was able to swell my body up and back down and had few jolts/pull sensations. I tried the rocking/rollout technique and could feel body rocking physically but then nothing. I saw flickers of light or some image rolling in from bottom of my eyes and then my vision set in. I could see my roof and it surrounds. I feel it was different than I would normally see it and the room and roof was spinning, swaying and pulsing making me almost dizzy and I feel like it it seemed grainy but the room was dark with dim light.
I was unsure whether my real eyes were open or was astral vision I tried rising and exiting with no success so I continued to observe for a minute and then I got up to realise that I hadnt projected and I got up in my physical body. It was the weirdest sensation.

Has anyone had this occur for them?

I remember when I was first trying out astral projection I would feel very floaty and detached from my body, like being sedated. While I never really succeeded with astral projection itself, I do Journey a lot, which is essentially the same thing. During those it's very common for me to feel like my astral eyes are my physical ones; human minds are used to physical sight, and I think that it's simply how astral sight gets interpreted since it's the next closest and familiar thing. A number of people who experience spiritual sensations say things like "I could feel it, but it's weird because I wasn't actually (physically) there, so I don't know how I could feel it".

:) you have to find out what works for you and how you can understand what people are trying to teach you... I think I can help you out.... lol I had that same problem with accidentally opening my real eyes and waking up or ending the energy I have just gathered... and even the moving of accidentally physical body parts in an effort to move my astral body.... After a while I got better but I would get out of my body and lol be afraid to open my eyes so I would be projecting with my eyes closed haha because I had the intention of not looking lol...

So lets break it down... your astral body is also called your what?! haha did you pass? Your emotional body.... what are your emotions?.... Feelings... what are feelings... sensations.... that arise when stimulated, felt or realized..... how does your astral body feel?..... blow on your arm.... softly..... you feel that.... that is your emotional body or astral body being stimulated...... for me... when in astral form my body feels like a soft breeze all over.... i learned to separate by feeling my body to move.... so this part is kinda odd to explain....

keep your arm still... and try to move it without moving it. the feeling of trying to move it is how you move your astral limbs.... if you can get your hands out you can probably cheat and use a astral rope to climb up lol.... your basically like a baby learning how to walk... lol or in this case lol trying to sit up... :) I think the food we eat also helps because sometimes I would eat some things and it would feel like dead weight holding me down.. or it would be hard to separate at a certain point...

:) Good luck!!
