I’ve been having a hard time getting into the theta state. Hypnosis sessions would not go very deep, astral travel attempts came up short, and I have yet to meet my guides or higher self. I finally learned John Grace’s (a.k.a Drunvalo Melchizedek) merkaba and heart meditations. I have also been practicing Robert Peterson’s OBE exercises as well as going through Robert Monroe’s Gateway Experience series.

Last evening I thought I would try a slightly different approach. Instead of doing the usual OBE exercised I decided to just pursue the theta state. I used Audacity to combine several theta and binaural mp3 files (Zygon Ultra Meditation II-Going beyond Theta, Don Peyote – Vertical Drift, Source Vibrations – 528Hz Golden Om), uploaded it to my phone then plugged the phone into my SleepSonic pillow. As I listened to the audio I did the merkaba and heart meditations and then drifted off to sleep. I should note that I have done Inelia Benz’s Fear Processing exercise as well. Previously while sleeping I had experienced a heaviness descending on my body. The limbs felt like they weighed a ton. I would instinctively start vigorously moving my head from side to side in an effort to free the body and after a few desperate seconds all mobility would return. Then I read on an ayahuasca site that the heavy feeling often preceded OBEs. After that I would try to remain calm whenever the heaviness would show up but my body’s response would “free” me before I could consciously give the command to relax.

This time perhaps I was relaxed enough or was in or close to the theta state…it’s hard to tell but I could feel the heaviness coming on (before the heaviness would suddenly be upon me, thus the instant fight/flight response). I relaxed and let the feeling pervade my body. As the intensity of the heaviness increased I decided that I should try and float. Flapping my arms like wings. I slowly started to lift. The flapping turned into a breast stroke. At this point I was out in space looking at the stars. Interesting, I didn’t see my room, the ceiling, etc.  I then remembered Robert Peterson’s advice to check the hands. I looked down at my hands and noticed there was a green-screen (Matrix-like) type color that outlined my hands but the skin was transparent — I could see space through them but detect the outline of my extremities. The outline was very detailed. I swam around vigorously for a bit. I could move in any direction I chose. I’m not sure what happened after that but I had to get up several times during the night to prepare milk for the little one.

Next time I will try to look down at my physical body — I didn’t remember to do that. I also forgot to check for the silver cord.
