They're tingling sensations....so, as long as I understand what's happening and use my common sense, I should be okay in doing these exercises?

Well...can anybody help me out? Oh, another thing...will thinking positive help me overcome my fear of the unknown? I've read some of the stuff in the Serious Neg Abuse forum, and it scared me to the point that I couldn't do Hemi-Sync comfortably last night...do teenagers attract negs more often?
A tingling, prickling sensation usually derives from energy body cleanup. The movement of energies can clear up blockages, and that revives nerves and that makes them tingle. Like restoring blood flow to a hand after you slept on it. It is usually quite harmless and reported rather frequently.
I don't think projecting exposes you more than not projecting. Actual psychic attack should actually be unmistakeable, down to physical pain. Robert's accounts in his book "Practical Psychical Self-Defense" should give you a picture.
Projecting might expose you to knowing things you might not have wanted to know - if for example you would encounter a neg, this might scare you. This does not mean you are automatically damaged by such an encounter, BTW.
And furthermore, in the astral thinking might influence the environment. It may things more gloomy. Fear is part of the problem itself. Perfect security is sadly an illusion, whether you project or not. There are endless accounts of projection without negative things happening. Also it depends on the personality of the projector whether an event is traumatic or handleable.
The "Serious" forum is reserved for people who have encountered trouble. Their problems are very severe, but I think not that common. I do not know the reason, but I don't think it stems from "going astral". The astral plane exists whether you acknowledge it or not, whether you project or not. Each individual in the "Serious" forum has his or her own story to tell.
If fear cannot be overcome, work with fear first if it is severe or do not project. I think working with fear should still be done if you chose not to project. But uneasiness can be overcome by projecting and checking out the unknown before letting it develop into a full-grown fear.
I don't know whether teenagers are more exposed - development of mental discipline is very important. Self-confidence. And emotional resistance. These help in protecting you. A teenager can do that like any other person, IMO. But since teenagers are in a part of their life where these things usually start to develop, I think it is harder to do. It is hard enough to learn to be your own person without trying to understand the workings of the mystical or deal with the unknown, but that's just my opinion. Projection can also enrich your life and help in that development. In the end - you chose.
Yes, commonsense is important.

Ok. Thank you!
Along with Korpo's great advice, reading about Obe's and the astral can help with fear. Astral Dynamics (although I haven't read it yet, but heard it's good) or Robert Monroe's Journey's Out of Body is a good one.
I want to add some things to this question: Most people that frequent the Serious Neg abuse forum came here because they were having problems, not because they were practicing OBE, I being one of them. I came here looking for help and after looking in other places found help with my problems, and from this learned to control my projections, and this helped with the fear- a large component of 'occult problems' is fear of the unknown, and control of your energy body is a good thing.Originally Posted by greatman07
There is something that I have to say:
When you are young you are more susceptible to certain things, which is why we always say you should have a certain age to attend a workshop, because increased awareness is increased awareness, and it is my opinion that people of a young age are not emotionally equipped to handle some stuff that they become aware of when they start this type of exploration. This is confused with exposure, which is a fallacy, IMO.
What do I mean by this? Simple: We are spirits having a human experience. This means we are already in the astral realm, even though we are mostly not aware of this fact, and have even built institutions to deny this reality (reality according to my beliefs, of course.)
So when young kids endeavor to become aware of the reality they are already a part of, they may not be ready to 'lift the veil', and once that veil is lifted it is almost impossible to put it back down- sort of unspilling milk.
In other words, you are not more exposed to anything, you become aware of where you are.
So I've said it before and I'll say it again- if you are under 16, and have never had problems with negs, please do not read the Serious Neg forum- If you suspect there is a problem go to the main website, pick a countermeasure and practice it (or pray, or whatever your worldview supports) but dwelling on others' neg problems can help you create thoughtforms for yourself.
Read the 'Fascination Principle' in the main site...it is very helpful for this.
