Lying on your back for projection.

[Barry]

Thanks CFTraveler

Its a relief to know that lying on your back is not a must. There are quite a few so called obe experts who are adamant that you can only experience hypnagogics while on your back, therefore you can only induce obe while on your back. So glad thst is not the case. Looking forward to trying again tonight now.

Thanks

I actually always thought you had to lie on your back as well, until I read a small part in Astral Dynamics and it's indeed not necessary - see CTF's post.

Lying on your back is not necessary. I am a belly sleeper, but I do prefer laying on my back for projection and trance exercises.

Hypnagogic images mean you are quite deep and can probably go for a projection. I actually find it too deep, as it seems to compromise some lucidity when projecting from that state. Energy sensations generally occur before going that deep, though as you know that doesn't always happen.

Energy sensations are the key for me, and they can occur in any state, even when tossing and turning in bed, although this is rare.
