Classic descripiton of an OBE! Congrautlaitons.  The only way you can get over the fear is by repetition and preparation. Monroe suggested using a REBOL: Resonate Energy Balloon. You imagine a clear balloon all arourd you, like a force field, and you are inside. No harm or fear will be able to touch you.  He also uses the energy conversion box, or a repository box where you put in all distractions and fears, close the lid on the box and then continue your journey. He also suggested using a shield and/or a wand or sword of light. There are many ways to imagine that you have the protection you need when you are having an OBE.

Hopefully, this will become the start of some wonderful adventures.  Come visit me in New Hampshire --- I'll see you in my dreams  --Carol Ann

Thanks guys, I tried again last night, but fell alseep I will keep trying. I am horrified to think I missed a chance thanks to the fear of not getting back into my body.. typical! hah!

I am trying to figure out why I fell asleep so quickly, I recall being exhausted in the morning. does an oobe drain you?

Ack! so many questions!

Thanks for the feedback again, I will keep trying, should I manage it I will pop over to see you for a cup of non local tea and a slice of non local cake!

Hi again, apologies for the absence, life has been manic lately and work far to demanding!

After trying to re-create the experience for a while I gave up and started my journey into TM. initially looked at to lower blood pressure so I don't have to keep popping damn pills every time I visit my drug happy doctor. but that's another story!

Anyway, so I couldn't sleep one night and stayed up until around 3am, went to bed and put on the same meditation setting on the iphone. I quickly fell asleep and all was well, after a while I was happily dreaming of driving my car through quiet French lanes surrounded by lush green trees. in the dream I detached from the car and floated up into the sky. at this point my attention was re-focused and the vibrations had started again. this time I was lying on my side and felt myself floating back and down. I thought about moving my arms and opening my eyes but everything was like a grey blur.
I became very aware of my breathing which was quite fast and thought "If I don't stop I am going to go through the floor!"

At this point panic struck again and I was back very quickly wide awake, and again exhausted I fell asleep.

Damn it!

Interestingly enough the situation was pretty much the same as the last time this happened, very tired and relaxed and around 3am bedtime with the same setting on the phone.

It would appear for now, the matrix still has me!
