What physical sensations do you experience before AP?

#1 10-09-2011, 06:20 PM

Hi All,

Curious to know what physical sensations others experience right before leaving the body. I've heard of vibrations, rocking, etc. and wondering how to progress beyond them as I find myself stuck at this point pretty often.

Also, lately I've been waking up in a dreamy kind of state and realizing I can see through my eyelids, but can go no further than this. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

Zann... It sounds like time for you to learn more about AP... what you may experience and how to handle it best, and what you can do with ap ability.

Here are some learning resources:

Zann when you are lying there and can see through your eye lids that means you can ap if you want to. I do not see it as a problem. I think when that happens it is wonderful. It has only happened to me about two or three times. You can spiritually get out of yourself. I have done that. If you do not want to do that you can say I am going over to the door or wherever you want to go to or you can imagine yourself rising or imagine yourself somewhere else.

Thank you for those great resources Xan! :] I was really overwhelmed by the sheer amount of information there is on AP at first, and I've been perusing this stuff for years, but from what I've read it all seems to come down to a few basics...RELAX! Relax, relax, relax your body and mind and let go of your fear. Well I've definitely got the relax part down, maybe a little too much since I fall asleep a lot, hehehe. Realized though I am holding onto some fear that is holding me back, so hopefully meditating on it will help me out in the future.

Astralsuzy, I'll try that if it happens again. I've read that if you can somehow get farther away from your body in the astral realm it will help with being pulled back and moving like you've had one too many, lol. I had that problem the very first time I ever AP, just thrashed around like a fish out of water.

Since you guys seem to have more experience in this area, could you tell me what it feels like once you're free of the pull of the physical body? Is it like walking around normally, I mean? Sorry for all the ?s

Zann, I had a feeling of loss of weight the last time I left my body, that was all I could remember.

And Xan these are great resources to read, thank you.

Questions are always welcome here, Zann.

Out of body you feel lighter, without the density of the physical.

If you're walking around normally you are in a dimension close to the physical. As you go higher, forms have less and less earth-like qualities and more subtle feelings and presences.

William Buhlman's book "Adventures Beyond the Body" is great for describing his remarkable experiences at many levels. As well as books, it's available as a free pdf file at:
