Hi Guys/Gals

I decided that I would like to invite comments on the experiences that I am having using NEW and MBA as made available by Robert Bruce both in terms of his online resources and his book Astral Dynamics.

I am trying to gather as much info and experience on these two topics as possible as I feel that it is really effective as well as capable of provding me with the right type of grounding to explore successful and controlled OBE's.

The major two experiences are 6 days apart. I gennerally spend about 30min on week days doing minor energy work as I am genarlly too tired to concetrate fully on the tasks due to work pressure. On weekends I try to take a nap so that I feel refreshed when I go to bed at around 10pm (Have two little girls so it does not really leave me with much practise time during daylight hours .

Please feel free to comment on the two practise sessions below:

Note: At the end of the session I bring my self out of the relaxed state and jot down the experience on the PC so it might be a bit confusing at times (Think it has to do with the mind split effect as recalling the event is sometimes difficult even coming only out on a lite to deep trance)

Relaxation Session (3rd June 2007 -> 22:00 to 00:00)
---------------------------------------------------------------
On Third attempt went through process to relax whole body. Did foot work. Brush action up and down and also managed to focus on sweep action across toes. Did energy loops over skin of feet and lower legs up to knees. Not feeling strong sensations in upper legs but do feel sensations. Felt strong heat sensations in feet and toes. Hands and arm also very active and for the first time felt my head also being very active (Tingling and buzzing). Felt heat sensations in middle of back. Most of this was in a relaxed state but not deep relaxation.

Found myself drifting away with imaginary trend about nonsense but managed to recover several times floating in and out on consciousness. Every time I regained consciousness, became aware of energy body mostly focused around head, throat, chest and arms. Also in legs (Not strong feeling) and feet but not stomach region (maybe too much food).

When consciousness regained, experienced very strong hearing ability. A/C sounded like rushing waterfall as air came out of vent. Also notice my breathing was very loud. A/C sound was quite intimidating at first but once identified was nice to play with. Focus on a sound increases intensity of hearing greatly as if amplified. Only hear one sound at a time as oppose to many like under normal waking conditions.

Focused sounds on A/C (Crashing Waterfall)
Hearing Energy (Sounds like buzzing)

Felt deep relaxation symptoms coming on (tickling across head and face), but was unable to achieve deep trace due to movement. Attempted and experienced twice. Also tried falling action by sinking into bed which caused heavy pressure sensations on the body.

When failed second time, decided to bounce awareness between hands. Caused strong energy sensations in whole body. Played with hands and arms in terms on energy body movement. Tried to stretch arms to touch bottom of bed. Felt right arm extend (a bit weird, felt like right arm was longer than left arm). Tried to stretch body like elastic band. Manage to perceive some stretch. Think I did too little energy raising as stretch felt very thin.

Started bounce from head to toe but started feel I was losing focus and concentration. Woke up.

Relaxation Session (9th June 2007 -> 22:00 to 00:00)
---------------------------------------------------------------
Started with normal relaxation of body. Started energy work on feet and lower legs. String enery sensations in both legs. Moved energy to hips and torso using MBA. Started energy work on hands, arms and eventually entire body. Felt sensations of chakras activation? (base - warm feeling at base of spine, naval - stomach sort of rumbling as if hungry. Also feels like wind/bubbles in stomach) as I moved energy along spine from base to crown.

Had prickling sensation in right foot. Moved energy from crown to right foot a couple of times, prickling feeling stopped. Had prickling feeling in right hand and moved energy to right hand a couple of time and prickling feeling stopped. (Not sure what prickling feeling is but stops when energy is directed to the spesific area)


Started falling sensation which I could feel had immediate effect on level of trace state. Attempted to only induce falling feeling until I felt sensations of energy body expanding. Had strong expansion feelings in legs, arms, head, torso (sensations include pins and needle like feeling, becoming aware of pressure on part of body affected and sensation of lightness). Started bouncing action between hands through body. This caused strong chakra activation feelings in naval, throat and brow (heavy feeling on left temple )

Had sort of a neck spasm which felt like it jolted my neck from left to right with a associated ringing sound which woke me up immediately. Felt wide awake but still quite relaxed. Decided to get up have something to drink.

Currently feeling a little disconnected from reality. Lots of energy sensations in body. Warm feeling on skin and brow chakra. Skin around forehead feels desensitized and numb.
