Hiya,

I use to post on this board before under Ryan Baker but as explained below i slowly drifted away for a while but have now come back! I Just wondered if anyone could help me...

The situation: The furthest I've ever got with having an Out Of Body experience was on two occasions. The first one i felt out of body, i was floating above myself, and i could move, sway in any direction, it was a wonderful feeling, although i would class that more as meditation that anything.

My second experience happened soon after and has happened on a couple of occasions. I lay there and focuz on relaxing and getting quieting the mind. I get the floating sensation and feel myself drifting away from my body, letting my body sleep and keeping my mind awake...only just, slowly and slowly i drift further away and then suddenly i feel the vibrations and hear a loud constnt noise! and i know i'm nearly there but then i lose it, and not because i'm scared but because i am too excited! lol. My whole body is overwhelmed in joy and excitment i lose the vibrations and thats it, i wont be able to get back to that state into another night! annoying!

has anyone had this problem before? how can i stop getting excited, i can't help it, everytime i just get overwhelmed with excitment and lose it. If anyone has any tips i would be very grateful.

I did have one OOB once tho, not through Bruce Moen's technique but i awoke during a dream, it was the most sureal fantastic thing ever, and even though much didn't happen and i felt rushed and not totally in control, it was still very good.

i didn't give up but my practice and motivation kind of wandered as i had other things to deal with before but now i want to get back into it. I've noticed as well recently nearly every night now i can remember a vivid dream, they are all so real and full of colour and i can remember them exactly, not sure if this is a sign to get back to it, but ill take it as one.

I know out of body experiences arent the be and end all but this has been one of my ambitions ever since i can remeber, i guess i like to see before i really can believe.

Thanx very much and sorry for rambling, feel like i've wrote a book here! just got a new found energy which i feel will take me to the place i want to get.

P.S: loving the new forum

I think I'm one of those people who like the idea of OOB experiences but is secretly scared to death of them for some reason. I think I've had it start to happen as I'm drifting off to sleep now and then. For a split second (because it jolts me awake) I feel like I'm just a little bit away from my body. I just don't like that feeling, I suppose because it happens unintentionally. I'm guessing we all go OOB a lot more frequently than we remember. If I ever grow the spine to try it intentionally, I'll probably love it.

Good luck with yours and keep us posted! 

hey Ryan,

Lucid dreaming is a perfect bridge towards OBE. I'd suggest mastering Lucid dreaming, and from there moving on  to other experiences. To me they are all similar, it's just the matter of intensity and clarity.
As for excitement...well, Bruce's method did wonders to me!! Thanks to it you can try and try and try over and over again...so you loose the anxiety ...Just "imagine" your favourite place...one in which you feel calm and secure...and go there( using Bruce's method.)...then do everything you can to keep up the vibrations or whatever else you experience prior to "leaving"...I found deep breathing very helpful in keeping myself calm, and getting more energy in order to perceive the other side more clearly.
practice, practice, practice...untill you loose the fear
good luck!

Hi,
there is a link to Bruce's 5th book somewhere on this site. Check it out. All the info is in there. The method is too simple to summarize it simply
