Haven't posted in such a long time. I also haven't practice as often as I used to, but I will try to update my blog as much as I can. You can also find me here: Astralviewers, Obe-one, Astralvoid and also Astralviewers chat.
Anyway, here are my latest experiences that I have written down.
As you maybe remember, I used to have a try outs thread. This is going to be the new version of it. I will probably make a new one every new year. I'll try, though, to bring myself to writing again more about my experiences as lately I could not be bothered writing them.
Experience #1 - Worms implanted. Matrix? September 29th
I do not remember now how I got in SP as I have not written many details about it, but I had 2 SP's. In the first SP I lost focus, but in the second one my vibrations turned into baby whispers that I could not understand. The vibrations were strong, loud, though. After a while, I felt like I was implanted something in my brain. I could feel something moving in my brain, in my head and then somewhere around my cheek. It felt like a worm, I could say. Although that was a bit weird and it kind of "nonphysically" hurt, I did not find it scary at all. In fact, never in oobes do I find anything scary, but interesting. I believe I got in this SP after I became lucid in a dream where there was one classmate in two places in the same time.
Experience #2 - Pure and subtle SP. Octomber 15th, I believe.
As usual, I am laying with my laptop in bed, talking in the astralviewers chat. I was a bit bored so I just put the laptop next to me and closed my eyes. I was thinking about recent things, nothing really important. Suddently, I found myself not moving and I just wanted to swim out of this un-movement. I imagined me swimming until I really felt like swimming. I was like out of an ocean then I fell back and went deeper. The water wasn't actually water, it was shiny "nothingness", an ocean is my best metaphor describing the place. I was seeing a few pentagrams and satanic things since I watched a docummentary about Illuminati. (boredom, don't ask me)
For some reason I felt like saying "go away, you demon". The deeper I was going in this "water", the more I tried to open my mouth. I could barely hear myself, but it felt like I was speaking physically. The more I was opening my mouth, the realer everything started to feel. Then, when I swam up, out of this "ocean" I found myself in another position, with my feet on the next wall. I was slowly rotating and feeling the wall while rotating.
I was all "OMG, not even a small detail is missing", but I should have normally hit my laptop, but I didnt feel it. Apparently, a big detail was missing, hehe. Then I said "so, this is MY world, the one I am used to, since my laptop is not there." My feet went through the wall and then I just jumped. I got through my neighbours wall, and I was hugging someone. Then, I asked for real clarity, not just shiny "nothingness".
I opened the window (even hear it opening), again small details were there, and I wanted to jump the window. Someone was looking at me like "wtf is he doing?". However, I don't remember what happened next. I just saw myself waking up, not moving. I tried to reenter but nothing happened so I just opened my eyes and wrote it.
I forgot to add that it was night and full moon after I'd gotten out of that "white void".
Experience #3 - Dual awareness. A very long time ago
I somehow got again in Sleep Paralysis and because I was having mental blocks I thought I'd try to fly as high as I could and perhaps get a better focus in the air. I remember I went though the wall behind me but then I got back in my body. However, I finally jumped, I could feel myself in the air, although I could not see anything. Then, because I could not see I decided to try opening my eyes. I forced them and I opened my right or left eye. I can't remember for sure, but it was the physical eye. The nice part here is that I could still feel myself in the air, getting higher while I was feeling myself still in bed, looking at the rest of the room. I can't explain it but by saying it was dual awareness. That's exactly what it felt like. I know it may have been an illusion, but it wasn't as I opened the other eye too and got back my physical senses and went to write the experience.
Experience #4 - Free your mind Sserg! October 29th
I was again the astralviewers chat, talking to people when Omkar randomly told me "You need to free your mind, Sserg!". I always knew that I was going through illusions in OOBEs, but this statement really helped me. Thanks Omkar for that.
I was somewhere, near where one friend lives, I have no idea why I got there, but I wanted to fly. I was lucid. I had been too skeptical and insecure in OOBEs and that's why I had so many movement problems. However, I started to fly, I went through a tree, I felt the branches and leaves while flying until at some point I became insecure again. I decided I'd raise my hand, hoping I would fly faster when I remembered what Omkar had told me. I said "No, I am not that limited, I can do it only with my mind." I just willed to fly faster and it happened. At some point I just looked down and I could see the city in a 2D view as I was soo high in the air. There even was a fog laying above the city. I guess what I wanted to do in Experience #3 has finally happened.

How I've induced and currently induce OOBEs
I have only been practicing OOBEs for 1-2 years and I've gone through many methods and try outs to figure out what methods are the most suitable to me. They've always changed, but here are a few.
Involuntary experiences for almost no reason
I used to have a lot of Sleep Paralysis experiences and I had no idea why. I also used to believe there were a few demons in my room or that someone was in my apartment willing to kill me or steal something. One of the reason I used to have these experiences is that I had just started school and I had to go to bed earlier. It did not matter how early I went I always had to have a nap in the afternoon as I was too tired. Then, after a few hours, as I had to go to bed earlier, I'd just go to sleep and wait. I felt in a way able to sleep, but not sleepy or tired at all. This is one of the best states you should be in when you want to induce an OOBE. This method may be also found as Bedeekin's method as he has introduced naps to Astralviewers, if I remember correctly. You basically need to go to bed later than usual, wake up earlier than usual so that you can get tired enough for a nap in the evening. Then, take a short nap (1-2 hours) in the evening, wake up and go back to bed in 2-4 hours and you should experience Sleep paralysis. It may not work from the very beginning, but keep trying. It happened to me without knowing what I was doing, so it must work to you too. However, if you are used to sleeping in the afternoon or you are not used to waking up WHEN you wake up, it may not work. Keep trying, though. Change sleep patterns.
I sometimes still use this method, but yeah, always napping in the afternoon can get pretty frustrating. One would rather just go outside with friends than sleeping. It's still a powerful method, though.
Voluntary SP's, but with a prior sleep
Whether it is a sleep in the evening, or you just wake up to use the toilet it is still a good opportunity to try and induce an OOBE. Try to get some 5-6 hours of sleep, stay up 30-60 minutes and then return back to bed with the intent of inducing. You may stay up shorter, but try not to fall asleep. I believe Jettins has already talked about this method in more detail. Check it out in the forum. This method is the fastest way to OOBE, in my opinion. Here are some old hours and situations when I used to induce:
1. Bedeekin method. Go to sleep later than usual, wake up 1-2 hours earlier than usual, have a 2 hours nap between 6-9 then induce after 2/4 hours. Usually at 11.
2. Wake up 2 hours earlier than usual and go to induce in 1 hour.
3. Wake up in the middle of the night, after 2/4/6 hours of sleep and try to induce.
4. Go to sleep at 1 am, wake up at 6 am and induce at 7 am. - This one worked 9 times out of 10 to me until I changed again my sleep pattern.
Before going to bed methods
Since there's no time for napping and waking up during nights is a bit annoying and stressful, I needed a new method. I had become used to inducing right before falling asleep. However, I had to be very sleepy so that I can go faster and deeper in my sleep. I used to stay still, without moving and just wait until images or sounds kicked in. Sometimes I'd just find myself talking, interpreting other dream characters. When I realized that, I'd just say my magical sentence that should increase my awareness. I used to say "This is false, this is all a dream.". I remember it has worked like 3-4 times, but I did not bother practicing this. However, lately, I've become better at this method and I can even stay still without moving until I enter SP or fall asleep. Sometimes, I need to move, but if I move I always remember that I am close to falling asleep so I just wait to use my magical sentence. It requires practice but it works, without any prior sleep.
Meditation induction
After having had Sleep paralysis and out of body experiences only after prior sleep for almost a year, I could not imagine how one could have OOBEs and real vibrations from meditation as for me, meditation was only a way to relax your mind and "turn off the useless programs running in the background". However, yes, it is possible to induce OOBEs from meditation. The best way is to learn to ignore any physical and external information, senses, everything and concentrate on a mantra or something else. Just stay aware and ignore everything else. Most importantly is to get rid of your physical senses. No mind meditation, by Campbell, phasing and noticing by Xanth are very good methods for that. I however still induce using that magical sentence I just talked about above since I induce more when going to sleep.

If I remember something else I will let you guys know.
