Hello,

II hope that I am not intruding into the discussion. I would like to tell some of my experiences and thoughts that are related to the subject. I hope that they are of some help.

I have been parctising New some time ago and after a period I gave up because I found it to hard to continue. In the same time I was listening to Monroe tapes and had one or two experinces which freaked me out. Thinking back I was about to project. I did whatever I could to stop them and I did. I dropped the hemisyinc tapes for a while and listened to some other meditation tapes. After a while I decided to start them again and I listen to them every day.
It was a time when I wanted so much to OBE and I did whatever I could to have at least one experience. I even got frustrated and very angry because nothing happened. Seemed that the more I tried the more I was shutting down. Then I cooled down and decided to start again to listen to hemysinc and go very slowly though the process. So I did for about three or four month. I am not expecting anything because when I am expecting NOTHING is happening. I tried to use also prases that would programme my subconscious and it's not working at all, it's the opposite.
I have realised that I am progressing slowly. Unusual things are happening from time to time. The most interesting things started to happen in focus 12 on Wave III. There is a track with five questions. After the counting into focus 12 and entering on F 12 I suddently felt a shift , or at least something happened. Suddently I became extremely lucid and different. Monroe poses some questions. At the one with Who am I the reply was always a smooth vibration in my legs. For the other three questions nothing but at the last one at which you have to ask What is the most impoartant thing that you have to know I have received two answers in two sessions. If you read " Conversations with god" there is an affirmation in which he sais that the soul is not in the body, but it envelopes the body. I really felt it, that my soul was enveloping the body, and it was a wonderfull sensation. On an other session I felt very relaxed and the material world seemed so far away , I only existed and nothing else and It was so wonderfull.
Now, when I put my helmeths on and I close my eyes in a few seconds I feel some sort of a shift, something is happening. Also when I close my eyes and try to relax I fell that something is happening. I am not good at describing the phenomen, maybe I am going deep.
The funny thing is that interesting things are starting to manifest also in the real life. I sometimes have a sensation of unreal and weird related to the material world. It lasts only a moment but it's there.
If I do not force things that I want, they are happening at the right time.
I am still doing from time to time energy work with my legs, arms and my body. The feeling of energy moving and energy in general is much stronger, and I can do it quite easily. Also when I sit and and stay still I can feel very smooth vibrations in my body, especially in my feet and also energy movements in my body. The feeling is quite natural and not scaring at all.
The dreams have changed in that I am partially conscious. The smell, taste, touch senses have developed in my dreams and they are pretty strong.
One morning I felt the reintegration of the astral doucble. I was dreaming and waking up from the dream when I felt a slam into me. Then I knew it was the reintegration.
So my personal conclusion and what works for me is that I do not have to force anything and do not expect anything but to let things develop on their own and the results will come when the time is right.

All the best to everybody,

Lia
