I know I haven't been on here, but as we all know, life gets in the way sometimes of things we want to do. This is one of those times. I am currently working at a job that is physically demanding so I have been too exhausted to do the exercises. I have found trying to do them without the proper focus is a waste of time.
Martin' new job has him on a schedule now so when I quit working I'll be able to commit better to the astral travel exercises on a regular basis like before. With the holidays upon us, we will all be very busy. So please stay tuned and I will be back soon! I promise! I have a son to meet up with...and smack! :-D

Day 17
While I was listening to the brain wave generator and working on all the exercises that I have worked up to during these past few weeks, the damn computer just cuts out on me! I like using the brain wave generator because it drowns out a lot of noise so I can focus on the exercises at hand. While it doesn't completely drown out the barking of one co-dependent 12 lb wiener dog, it does tone it down quite a bit.
I was able to do about 25 mins though, so that was good. There was no reason for the computer to just cut off like it did. Such is life with electronics and metaphysics.
What I discovered is that I think I want to spend more time on the exercises I have already learned before I move on, so I will be staying on the past few days exercises before moving on. Until I can do the full body energy bouncy exercise, and a few others more solid, I don't want to move on.
Today I was only able to mildly feel any of the energy work I was doing so that is when I decided I needed more time to master them. I don't want to do this half ass. When I have an OBE, I want it to be a powerful, in control one, no dickin around!
I did the mind calming exercise with the numbers. I just worked on #1 & 2. You focus on one number at a time and nothing else. When it came to the #2 all I could hear was "hello #2." It was a scene from Scrubs I saw the other night. Thank goodness I didn't go off on a daydream like JD always does on Scrubs!
Surprisingly I found the number exercise to be fairly easy. I think because I have noticed that I can empty my mind while doing the energy exercises pretty well. Andrew was the king of emptying his mind. As a teenager, that is quite a feat! The 1st time he did it, he was able to do it for 5 mins! THAT'S HUGE! I wanna be like him when I grow up!
So for the next few days of exercises, I will be going over the same exercises and I will probably just put the date in the title. Maybe I am having trouble with all these exercises because I have not been doing the reading material as well, like I should. Oh well, it is what it is folks.

Day 16
While this is a 90 day plan, not even the authors expect you to do it in 90 days! Reading about the quieting the mind exercise, they mention that it may take days or even weeks to get the hang of it. What's good is that you can go at your own pace with this. I'm still hoping to have a spontaneous OBE during one of these exercises.
Learning to quiet the mind has so many benefits. While these exercises can be overwhelming at times, I can see the benefit to them on so many levels, not just for an OBE. Like quieting the ego's nonsense. That would be nice for a change.
Today I did the whole body awareness, energy sponging, raising energy, and bouncy energy while listening to the brain wave generator that is still optional at this point. If I didn't feel a whole lot of energy going on, I went back to the area and did it again until I did. It took a couple of tries but I finally felt it. If I found my mind wandering off into another direction, I just brought my attention back to relaxing. That seems to help.
I did the breathing in white light and exhaling any toxins while also focusing on deeper relaxation. All this really helps you to tune into body, it's pretty cool. I did the breathing chakra exercise w/Martin. I was able to breathe in & visualize energy coming up through my toes and on up to my crown chakra. Then let it build in my crown chakra before exhaling and releasing the energy to my sacral chakra. I did this for a few minutes. You do it right and long enough, you can get a buzz! lol An energy buzz not a hyperventilating one, although I suppose those ain't bad either.
I didn't get to do the mind quieting exercise today. I think I will work on it tomorrow since this is the one that can take days, weeks r even months. It has to do with focusing on numbers up to 12 in a circle on a blank wall. You start with just the #1, then adding 2, then 3 the 1st time out. I have to keep track of the time between the numbers of how long I can keep my mind blank. That's all I may have time for tomorrow.
It still irritates me that I have to do all this just to see my son again. I miss just being able to go in his room and give him a hug. It irritates the living hell outta me that it's not that simple anymore. But I guess all these exercises will make me a better person in different areas of my life. Astral traveling can benefit me in a lot of ways too, learning much higher level information to help me grow and evolve here.
Here's to emptying that pretty lil head of mine!

Day 15
Yay! I've made it to Day 15! AND it's only taken me how many weeks to reach it? That's a rhetorical question just so you know. I really need to change the whole mastering astral travel in 90 days title to mastering astral travel one of these days!
Now going into week 3 I'm working on quieting the mind chatter. Wish I could just tie up and gag that mind chatter mouth piece, but NO! There's all kind of exercises to work on for that too. *sigh* Why doesn't this stuff come easy to me? Why doesn't anything come easy to me. I've been working on mind chatter stuff anyway and making head way with it, so that's good. Martin helped me today with new breathing exercises. With these breathing exercises I am suppose to be storing energy in my sacral chakra. Now that I think about it, I didn't really feel energy being stored there today. Note to self, work on feeling that tomorrow.
In my reading material before starting week 3, they were discussing lucid dreaming and how you can turn that into an OBE. I thought about trying it, but I don't sleep that well as it is, so I don't think I need to stress myself out anymore trying to work on OBE's when I'm trying to work on just getting some plain old fashion sleep.
I did the usual brain wave generator today. Marin put it on one of the week 3 ones. Oh yes, there are several to choose from.It sounded the same to me. Tomorrow I will work on feeling more of the stored energy and maybe even do the additional brain wave thingy for the calming of mind chatter. Oh yes, they have a brain waver for that too. I didn't have time to do it today along w/everything else. They actually have exercises they'd like you to do for 90 mins if possible. Yea, not quite there yet! You really have to be aware and not be tired to do these exercises to get the most out of them. If you are tired, you'll just fall asleep, the irony of it all! Until next time...
It's All Good!
