...So, the other night, I thought that I hadn't meditated in a while...so I decided to do it as I was lying down to sleep. I activated my chakras...and my orange chakra for some reason wanted to move up to the solar plexus. ?? curious...then I got up to the crown, and instantly, as quick as a snap of the fingers, I felt all kinds of tingly...I kinda took that as that buzz that someone else described in a different thread...but I didn't linger, I pulled myself out and dropped off to sleep...when I had to get up at 6:30AM, I needed to be sleeping! The next night (last night), I tried it again...activated all my chakras, this time when I reached the crown chakra, again instantly I felt very distant...as though I might be floating. But it wasn't like I could see myself or anything, and I could still feel everything as though I was still in my body, like I wasn't separated from it in any way. ...and so I thought...hmmm...well, if I'm out...someone mentioned that the pyramids were a meeting place for astral travelers, I want to go there...and I wasn't trying or anything, but I could suddenly feel myself moving at a very fast speed...and I thought, whoa...wait...and willed myself to stop the moving feeling. It was too wierd feeling. ...So I decided to see if I could still move my body, it was started to get to a point where I couldn't feel it as well...and I wanted to see if I would be slammed back into it I guess, like some people say...and so I moved my fingers and then opened my eyes...and it didn't feel abnormal at all...I felt like I did right before I moved my fingers...only I was now aware of my fingers.
Throughout this whole time, I never saw myself, or a thread, or the area I was in, nothing. Just the blackness from behind my eyelids.
What do you guys make of it?

Well, apparently you got to the Vibrational State, then managed to separate your limbs, but you did not separate your astral "eyes".

yeah, i've read that the "speeding really fast" sensation sometimes happens right before you start to seperate from your body. I've been able to get to that point and actually saw through my astral "eyes" - it sounds like astral projection would be pretty natural for you. Maybe you should check it out. ^_^

It's hard to say. You definately exhibited some key signs of Astral Projection. But it's hard to say whether or not you actually seperated. The fact that you couldn't see anything does not necessarily mean that you didn't seperate. You may just not have been conscious enough to open your astral eyes. In fact, you don't even need to seperate from your body to be able to see through your astral eyes. I've personally had a couple experiences where I didn't seperate yet I could still see my room through my eyelids.
What else can you remember from the experiences? Did you hear any unusual sounds? Did you feel anything unusual other than the buzzing you mentioned?

...nope, I mentioned everything I experienced as I remember it.
interesting...I've tried astral projection before...and didn't really get what I was attempting...and then I stopped trying, and look what happens! Goes to show that you shouldn't try to make things happen, they'll happen when the time's right.
~shrug~ I suppose whether I actually separated or not doesn't matter...the point is that I was on the way, right? That's basically what I needed to know. I don't think I actually did...but whoa did it feel cool LOL.

Yup you're exactly right.
Yeah it's funny, that's how my first A.P. experience came about too. I was trying for a while; got discouraged cause it wasn't working for me and then all of a sudden one day BAM!

A different night, a different experience... ...this is from my LJ: Last night, my cat got sick...she hadn't been doing well for a long time...so, as I went to bed last night, I thought, "hmmm, I wonder if I could heal her."So I tried it.
I willed myself into a deep meditation...I don't remember much of it anymore though. Towards the end, I felt as though I was astrally projecting...and I was thinking. My thoughts got me angry. Outraged. Hmmm. Bad idea. The more negativity you surround yourself with, the more likely you are to attract negativity. Negative spirits could be REALLY bad. Ok, let's go back into my body now!
...I can't. That...sensation...the same one I got when that third eye popped out of that guy's forhead in that "dream" ...and after seeing him again the night after. That sensation. Only, it was not marked by any sort of fear. At all. But yeah, I felt paralyzed, felt my eyes start to roll back into my head, I couldn't bring myself to open them. This being my "astral" eyes I guess, cuz they definately weren't my real eyes. Yeah, I struggled for half a second. "Wait, all I have to do is relax." And I did. I relaxed, I was totally calm, I let the anger slide off of me...and I slid back into my body. I felt/watched my chakras de-activate as I went down into my feet and grounded myself. But wait...the body I slipped into was on the couch in the den.
I woke up immediately after I grounded myself...in my bed, on the other side of my house.
What does that mean. Just a dream? Or is there such thing as "just a dream?" Or maybe...I was astrally projecting...with one or more other me's from other planes of existance...we were as one...only she or they on the other plane had fallen asleep on the couch instead of in my bed.
That sensation I was talking about, I'm not sure if I've mentioned it here, but for the benefit of the doubt and those who wouldn't have read it anyway, the short version:
One night I had fallen asleep after attempting to AP (one of my first attempts), and I dreampt of a guy...we were riding up an escalator...and he asked me what this word meant that I couldn't repronounce if I tried. I said, "no" and he said the word again...and a third eye popped out of his forehead...and it began rotating, like he was trying to hypnotize me. Every fiber of my being shouted, "NOO!" ...and I woke up. Only...I was paralyzed. There was a funny feeling on the back of my neck, my eyes would only open half-way, but I could still see around my bedroom. that's all I had control over...my legs were kicking uncontrollably, and I couldn't move from my legs up. There were other things that went along with this "sensation" too...but mostly they didn't apply to this time.
It's happened several more times since then, and gotten gradually less and less scary.
But yeah...the post isn't about that time (I've got enough theories on what that was), it's about last night.
My main thought was...that when I slid back into my body, I wasn't in bed, that makes me wonder if I was astrally projecting. Thoughts?
