A violent jolt back to reality

I have recently begun to practice AP with some success but I am having mixed symptoms. When I spend an hour or so meditating before bed I usually try and end it with an attempt to AP. About half of the time when I try I feel as if my body is on a water bed or the ground is subtly shaking. When I think about it it goes away. Recently I have been able to hold onto this feeling for almost an hour. The other half nothing happens until I feel myself start to fall asleep when bam! Its like I get struck with lightening and I do not feel fear or pain when this happens but every time it does it comes on so abruptly it scares the **** out of me. I hear everywhere that these vibrations come on gently and gradually work there way up. Its so intense that my eyes snap open without a thought. Like someone sneaking up to scare to by grabbing me and screaming Boo! Im not sure what to do and I know its the only thing holding me back.

Just keep practicing and in time you will get more used to it.Your fear will eventually go away. The next time AP happens the AP system may be different. They are not always the same.

Last night I had your same symptoms like 5-6 times, strong vibrations that woke me up. It ended later and I could sleep for 4-5 hours, didn't get that scared though.

Widdles... It's good to learn more about AP to find ways to deal with what you're experiencing, and get inspiration for how you want to use the ability.
