Re: A newbie needs help!!
Hi John.
Do you mean project from the aware state, as you go into deep trance, or do you mean from waking up from sleep? (which would describe the state of sleep paralysis).
If you mean the first one there are various techniques stickied here in the OBE R & D forum, or, in the MAP subsection, there is a schedule you can follow, using the techs for reference, and there is also Robert Bruce's Treatise on Astral Projection especially the section on Projection Training.
You can do anything to get yourself comfortable. It is indeed ok to move if you need to, simply get back to your comfortable position. And by all means, forget about all the 'can't do's involved with your body- they are self defeating. If you take a gander at all the links that I provided you'll figure out why.
Either way, I hope we can help.

I mean when I'm going to bed at night. I try to not move so my body will fall asleep and my mind is still awake
Re: A newbie needs help!!
Yes, that would be deep trance. The links I provided should point you in the right direction.
Re: A newbie needs help!!
Wow thank you so much for all those links and your helpful reply. I'm going to read up and hopefully be posting here again soon with tales of my success or for more help :)

Re: A newbie needs help!!
When I. Lose my eyes to relax I hear a constant ringing in my head and ears. Is this a medical problem of could it be something else. I feel like sometimes if prevents me from tuneing in to the world around me
Re: A newbie needs help!!
No, it's what happens when you tune out other noise. It's normal but if it gets to be too loud you may have tinnitus, especially if you're on antibiotics or have a cold. More than likely it's just that you noticed what is always there. Most of the time you don't hear it because of ongoing ambient sound, and when you concentrate on getting quiet, it becomes more obvious. I actually use this to project when I do my projection attempts, simply by listening to it on purpose and trying to actively mentally separate the tones in the hiss-usually at the end of my routine, when I've already achieved a level of trance.
Re: A newbie needs help!!
Wow that makes some good sense thank you!!
Ive read a lot of the info you provided there's a lot to take in so im taking it slow. I did a meditation to try to activate my chakras like one of the readings said and want to know the possibility of me actually feeling something that first time.
I read it can happen but don't know if I was just feeling things
I followed the steps and kind of had my own visualsations for the process and at each charka as I moved through them one by one I had a feeling that grew and grew it felt tingly kind of like I was hungry when it was in my stomach and it went all the way up to my throat and felt "white" I'd say them when I got to my crown everything felt different like I was high on drugs or something it freaked me out so I got up and when standing I felt very light maybe it was just because I was very relaxed because I was
Shortly after getting up the hungry feeling was gone so I really dot think it was hunger and I kind of slowly felt
more and more normal
I will continue to try to raise my energy levels hopefully this was a good sign and shows I'm doing something right. I am very eager to project
Re: A newbie needs help!!
Yep, I do think you're doing something right. Good job.
