Alysia  what a pleasant story, I can see it in my mind with you with the wind under your wings. A nice ducky story.
I have this rather large painting on the wall of this garden with a gazebo across a stream with a old wooden bridge down stream connecting to a dirt path. Full of flowers, and very bright and colorful. One night just before sleep, I glanced at it a couple of times with the thought of being there. Later that night it came true. At first I wasn't concious of it, but found myself looking off what I thought was a porch at first, and everything was slightly out of focus, and very pastel like. I looked around and snapped into awareness realizing I was now in a 3d world of the painting, and I was standing in the gazebo. Everything was as in the painting, and still appeared as the painting. It was very strange, and hard to get used to it. If you have ever seen What Dreams May Come, where he finally goes into his heaven of paint, it was exactly like that. I started to explore and could see the bridge down the stream, but I woke shortly after that. This is something I should practice more, but I find with less effort things happen on thier own.

The thing I like best about obes, is that if I have a big question on my mind, or a heavy heart about something the obe helps me get over my problem; I either get the question solved, or my emotions level out after such experience. in these cases I try to find the connection whether I caused the obe to happen and I find I did cause it by what I was thinking and feeling before the obe, so that way I realize I have a hand in the creation of my personal reality. yet in my early years it always seemed like a subjective experience and a convenient way of looking at it was to say higher self was doing it then.
I didn't want to see myself as divided from higher self so I searched for what my thoughts had been about before the obe and I usually had a need to resolve some issue. so for me going obe was like having a prayer answered, a prayer in the back of my mind for maybe weeks and I'd be thinking, I'd sure like an answer, but I'll probably not get it.
the very thought of holding a thought this long seems to build a momentum of energy; it's like being on a diving board for two weeks in a way.

These places in our mind, like walking into pictures are real enough if they serve the slightest purpose to make us feel more hopeful, to enjoy our lives even, and to know we are less restricted in our movement into life once we ground ourselves back into our daily life.
one other note: Blue seemed to be saying that I was crowding him..lol...but it could have been just that he was amazed at flying, just as I was. imagine a duck who was quacking with no pause between the quacks and u get the picture. it was funny too. I never expected the sensations..it just happened, so possible I was getting guide assistance, as we do have guides. love, alysia

Hey Everyone!

Just wanted to pop in and say hello from Lanzarote! Its really nice and sunny here and way better than England lol, I'm not sure how many times i'll be able to come here but wanna pop in every noun and again and read all these wonderful posts, theres so much happening here again its great!

I have never experienced this click you mentioned, but for me when i go OBE i normally get one of two sensations. One sensation is where i feel myself sink into my bed, my head seems to go forwards though, so imagine standing up and looking down as much as you can, you feel your chin against your chest, thats what i feel when sinking, next thing i'm floating ready to go explore!

My other feeling is just a floating feeling, i start to lose the feeling in my legs first normally then arms and slowly and slowly i feel lighter and lighter then once again I'm floating.

Oh Alysia! I forgot which thread you told me about it but I tried your exercise. I layed there and imagined a pure white energy coming in beams into the bottom of each foot and slowly filling my body up all the way to my head. I also let negative, stress energies fiter out my crown chakra is it?? on my forehead and let them escape. I got so into it i started to float so will definatly be practising this one! I woke up refreshed as well. Also i felt at my crown chakra a physical pressure? not sure if this is right but there was a feeling there and I used that to focus all the energies out i didn't want.

Well this is quite a thread with lots of information so I can't wait to get back and catch up, not in too much of a hurry though because its nice and sunny here and cold and wet in england lol!

Well speak to you soon everyone,

Ryan

thats good you tried that energy exercise Ryan and that you even noticed a benefit.
I remember that after I finished doing it one time I was just feeling peaceful, like I might burst out laughing because I imagined myself on top of the world and it just seemed too funny to do this. but I think my guidance was helping me get outside my head that way.
after you get rid of energy you don't want in your body, try taking it one step further, to make your energy expand to the top of the world. you might actually be able to do it better than I did, and I want to see if something happens...talk soon! enjoy the sunshine! love, alysia
