Good OBE\WILD technique to try!

[BAOneironaught]

Hey Everyone,

Here's a technique that I've found works well for inducing Out of Body Experiences (OBEs) or WILDs. I'd be interested if anyone else has anything to add or might find this useful with some results, so if it helps please let me know. A lot of this might be repeat of other WILD techniques, but there a few key points that seem to make a difference, the primary premise of this technique is to TRICK the body into thinking it has fallen asleep and entering into Sleep Paralysis, I know it sounds goofy, but trust me it works..so here we go---

1)Lie on your back and get fully relaxed- you can do several relaxation techniques before attempting an OBE for better success. A good one is the progressive relaxation technique-go through the whole body one muscle group at a time and tighten\relax them until you've gone through every muscle, really focus on the relaxation part of it, it also helps to breathe with your diaphragm in rhythm with the tighten\relaxation.

2)Lie completely still, don't move at all regardless of how much you may want to, your body will "test" to see if it's sleeping by giving you the urge to move, resist this urge (and it can be strong) and let it pass. Don't itch a scratch or readjust or the process will start all over again. If you can, don't even swallow unnecessarily.

3)Focus on not moving your eyes, this is key and a little difficult to do at first as your eyes have been darting around all day and will naturally want to do so when you first lie down and close your eyes. Again, you are trying to trick your body into "thinking" it is asleep, so the more still and relaxed you are the better, the eyes are important.

4)Rythmic breathing-once you are well relaxed and not moving, breathe as if you were asleep, i'm sure you've seen someone sleeping and how they breathe, maybe you have a dog or cat, notice how they breathe when they are asleep-- deep and rythmic...

5)After a while when you are completely in deep relaxation (at this point you may notice your mind or attention loosing focus or starting to wander, stay with it) start twitching your muscles- I'm sure you've noticed this "twitching" process while falling asleep (again, like a sleeping dog ), don't twitch violently, just enough to tense your muscles quickly.....and again you are tricking your body into thinking it is asleep, so the idea is mimic the biological process your body goes through when you fall asleep.

6)Try to keep your mind in a conscious yet detached state (i.e. stay aware but don't let your mind focus on or get wrapped up on any thoughts, let them enter and leave you mind without giving them much attention)..now if you do this and manage not to fall asleep in the process you will eventually find yourself in sleep paralysis (you will know when you are there, by a rushing vibrating sensatin\sound in your head\body). The deeper you fall into SP, the better chance you have of getting "out" of your body\or directly into a WILD. You may or may not have experienced SP before, but it can be a very scary experience if you don't know what it is or are not prepared. Just know it is perfectly harmless and nothing will harm you, if you can eliminate the fear, SP is pretty mundane after a while

7)Once you are in SP, sort of "will" yourself to roll over or twist out of your body, don't force it, because if you do, you are trying to force your physical body, which is not the one you want to get up, Imagine yourself slowly floating up...and with luck, you will. Confidence is everything, believe you can do it and you will!!! Once you are out...go and explore your new world!

As you all know, none of this happens over night (no pun intended) so try this out and play with the concepts, if you do this frequently you will succeed. Please let me know if this works for you!!!!

well that's good news. I thought that I was doing something wrong when I twitched unintentionaly. I seem to get realy relaxed, and then I just randomly twitch sometimes.

Cool, thanks for this- I have never had any success inducing a WILD, I will definitely give this a go! Wish me luck .

Woaw, I really go to try it out, but when you are in a sleep paralize do you become lucid automatically?? Or do you must let yourself falling asleep?

I tried to get into a sleep paralazys but it didn't worked the way l wanted to turn out. Most of the times when i'm almost in a sleep paralazys l get out of it just as fast i got into it.

Yes, it really answered my first question, but i've still got one more question to get into a sleep paralysis. Everytime when i'm almost there I wake up and the feeling is blown away. How do I proceed to a real paralysis??

Oh, and btw thanks for answering

Funny thing is I just did this lastnight before going to bed. I laid still on my back with my eyes closed and relaxed got comfy and left my hands against my sides on my outer thighs. It was a great expierance because I was trying to do a wild but it felt like I was going to have an obe! I was a little afraid because I thought obe's need one to be more expieranced with luciding dreaming.(like a step by step progress of consciousness... like meditation, then be able to lucid dream then you can begin obe's) Just because I've read obe's can be dangerous if you don't know what you are doing... but nevertheless I was laying in bed letting the body sleep went through all the twitching and so forth staying focused on my thoughts. It was great my body went numb. My arms felt like the weren't even touching my legs anymore (it was trippy). Then my mouth and teeth felt very numb (like after getting a shot in the mouth from the dentist but with no pain of the needle ) Then it happened without moving my body for so long and being relaxed I think I started to almost come out of my body but it was intense and scary I couldn't do it yet I wasnt even trying for and OBE! but my right arm felt as if it were floating up so much! At one point it felt like I had been holding my arm up (and it was so real feeling) that I had to open my eyes and check and see if it was without moving my body and it wasn't! It felt so strange when I opened my eyes like I was asleep but with my eyes open... Anyways it was awesome but I couldn't come all the way out of my body because It was my first time feeling that and I was too afraid haha! These are great tips you said that will help me though next time. Thank you! Hope everyone enjoys maybe it will help. Oh yea I posted a forum called Sleeping Positions? (do they help) and the first reply on there has some great teckniques as this one does if you want some more ideas to help you out! But that was it I never got out of my body (I just felt my light body trying to pull out of my physical body) I didn't even have a lucid dream haha. I think because I was too excited with my progress and couldn't go to sleep for a while I had to get up and have a cig. and I realized after that expierance of getting that far when you get up you feel like you are high! ;} this is my anti-drug... haha

Much love and peace to any who read this!

Hi Funky Aaron,

You are clearly right on the cusp, I imagine either you are getting excited and start "thinking" about it. I guess it is easier said than done, but try to ignore it and stay with it. relax and don't let your train of thought get caught up in what's happening, you might find yourself thinking "here it comes, all right here we go..." and in doing that you are heightening your level of excitement and wakefullness. Keep at it, because you are pretty much there already, just relax and let it do it's thing. Also, you might try to focus on the later stages of the process-the rythmc breathing and twitching to keep the natural biological process in action. Hope it helps...but all in all just keep doing it and experiment with it on your own![/quote]

Okay, that's true. I tought: Woaw almost there yeah and pats the feeling was gone:(

Thank you for your advice.
