Re: Focus Blocks

I usually attempt projecting while I am laying down as I know people don't reccomend it because it is easier to fall asleep but it also helps me to to the point of deep relaxation a lot faster plus I'm used to having a hard time going to sleep anyways so falling asleep is not a big deal for me.

But your half asleep when you astral project, people say mind awake and body's asleep. When i was young, after i had my first sleep paralysis episode and was real scared, i would try to stay awake becuase i was afraid to go to sleep. Later I realized that this brought on the episodes. So maybe you could try it. Like every time you feel yourself falling asleep open your eyes wide. eventually, if you can keep it up (which i did when i was scared enough) you body should go into the paralysis/sleep stage while your still awake.
-Did the salt help?

A little, my body is just this way lol, but someone on another forum said that it didn't really matter and wouldn't interrupt the process unless I let it. It would be be way cool if I could stop salivating when I wanted to haha.

I am more prone to believe that you have this problem with Post nasal drip in the back of your throat most of the time so your body and mind is use to it .. saying that I think you are just more aware of it during projection due to wanting everything so perfect. I was reading your other articles and it seems you put quite the effort in this .. good on you!!! You are determined , yet I am gathering you are very analytical, am I right? So am I which is why when I try, it doesn't happen because "mind" gets in the way.... when I stop trying so hard my mind already remembers this is what I want to do so I actually get a break from trying along with succeeding with astral projection!!! It may not work the first few nights but it did for me on about the 4th night! I just said to myself I will put the suggestion in my mind that I will leave my body that night and then read as I laid down... I have only ever laid down for this to work,  It is the only way I can get between awake and sleep... once you want it bad enough, that is enough.. we just have to learn how to relax.... now you can swallow all you want!!!! Try it, you have nothing to loose!  I stopped when I moved into my new house, then I started trying really hard, then stopped and suddenly I am back in action.....

    I enjoy reading your articles

I would suppose I am pretty logical and I am flattered that you enjoy my "work" haha. I haven't been trying to project as much for a while because I feel that it is not happening because I am not ready yet, for the meantime I have been improving upon my meditation and listening to isochronic and binaural tones (which I would consider meditating since I do that during the brain entrainment to increase the effects).

But weird things have been going on lately like just the day before yesterday I slept the entire day and only woke up to eat dinner and go a round of aoe 3(and lost) and then went right back to bed having these vivid dreams as if my dreams were becoming reality and reality was becoming dreams(in a sense). Then the next day(and today) I haven't been able to sleep at all no matter what I did, I even tried taking 3 melatonin tablets and some other medicine that should've knocked me out but I just couldn't. I had a very vivid imagination during this time though even though I was highly uncomfortable and no matter what I did it was either too hot or too cold and my pillows couldn't seem to help bring me any comfort. What's worse is I had to get up at 8 this morning to help my mom's friend and her son move out and I was working loading and unloading furniture until about 4 pm, it was ridiculous and I am still running on no sleep.

To think of it though I should've tried to project during that time lmao, I had all the time in the world (sorta) but I suppose I was too focused on trying to sleep even though it didn't seem like it would happen and it didn't lol.
