Hello everyone I am new at this and I would like to learn how to do it. I tried by doing breathing routines and closing my eyes and trying to focus on the third eye. My eyes started to blink like crazy and then I just woke up. I did not try to visualize anything. What happened? Also is an obe your soul getting out of your body?

Hi tnafan. Have you read Robert's treatise? It should answer most of your questions, if not all of them.

Thanks I will read all that when I have time lol. Can you tell me a quick response as to what I was feeling. Or is it just that I wanted to feel something.

Ok, here's a quick response:

I tried by doing breathing routines and closing my eyes and trying to focus on the third eye. My eyes started to blink like crazy and then I just woke up. I did not try to visualize anything. What happened?

First of all, we do not recommend any third eye work until you have done energy work on your entire body, especially the root chakra. Third eye work is for clairvoyance, not necessarily OBE work in particular. Of course it's beneficial, but only in the sense that all the chakras contribute to the experience, and if there are visual problems, it can help. But concentrating on the third-eye exclusively can give you bad side effects- from headaches to mental instability.

Also is an obe your soul getting out of your body?

No. An OBE is the experience of your conscious awareness leaving the body. Your perceptile sense, your point of view. Your soul is always connected to every facet of existence, or your spirit, depending on your theological bent. This is best explained in the link I gave you, I'd recommend reading it when you have the time, if you're planning to get into the practice of trying to consciously induce the experience.
