I've been lucid dreaming but I wanted to graduate to an OOBE experience. I've only left my body one time when I drown when I was 14 yrs old. Flash forward to now and I've gone thru intense vibrations but didn't realize I could leave my body after what felt like a tornado. I achieved this state by listening to this high pitched humming before I fell asleep and I heard voices talking in the other room. I felt like I was in a different realm. I had so many spirits come to visit me during this state. My dog, old teachers, family members. It was like I was the ghost whisperer.

I've been reading and researching for methods to use to become more consistent. This past week, I used a method where I put my tongue on the top of my mouth, breathed in to a count of 4, breathed out to a count of 7, then just repeat. This is really difficult to do when trying to go to sleep. I felt like I had sleep apnea. Just so unnatural. So i'm switching to a different technique tonight and that is just focusing on the darkness behind my eyelids when I close my eyes and just 'notice' things. I hope this will allow me to phase. Also I'm looking up which is a way to increase my induction. Does anyone have any suggestions about improving my success rate? Also I read that I should try the WBTB and instead of going to bed, go sit in a chair and go to sleep that way because it's easier to get out of your body.
