Sorry for the long gap folks - I've been going through a bit of a dry patch, and I think I was putting too much pressure on myself. I'll catch up on experiences I had earlier in the year and post new ones as and when :)
Saturday 3rd May 2014
Time: 6am
Where: In bed - In a holiday caravan in Devon
Techniques used: Reality checks and awareness during the day - trying to breathe through a pinched nose and looking at my hands
Goal: To try and get out of my body in a strange place!
In this experience I was staying in a static caravan in a holiday park with my family in Devon. I was knackered! But, I was hoping that sleeping in a strange place might help me to get lucid/get out of my body... So, here's what happened....
I'm in the bathroom in the caravan and as I finish my business I do a reality check (pinching my nose with my fingers whilst trying to breathe)..... I can breathe.... I am dreaming! Now lucid I walk out of the bathroom into the kitchen area of the static (it's all very recognisable as the caravan I'm staying in - but a mirror image? Everything is the opposite way round to what it is in waking reality). I walk into the sitting area and can't figure out what to do - I'm a bit muddled and my thinking isn't clear (in waking reality I'm very tired from travelling and dealing with two kids.... Ugh). I say out loud in the dream state that I'm conscious I am dreaming and I want to have an out of body experience and I mentally steel myself for the speed and vibrations etc. that usually happen when I say this. I start travelling upwards and this time there are only slight vibrations - it's all a bit gentler than normal - I think I'm holding myself back a bit. I can see lots of white misty clouds and there is quite a bright light. Just as I seem to have come to a stop I wake up.

Out Of Body Sofa Surfer
Tuesday 22nd April 2014
Time: 1.45pm
Where: On the sofa!
Weather: Cloudy
Techniques used: Indirect techniques from The Phase by Michael Raduga (i.e using projection methods on waking and cycling through a combination routine of approx 4 methods until you find one that works). Indirect techniques used: 'phantom wiggling' (progressively moving parts of your energy body, i.e fingers and toes etc.) and watching mental images.
Goal: To try and project somewhere other than my bed for the first time :)
I had gone for a little snooze on the sofa in my living room with the intention of trying to project with indirect techniques on awakening (the trick is to try not to move when you wake up - or at least if you do move trying to retain the state of being half asleep half awake).
I had 'come to' a couple of times and tried the techniques before falling asleep again (apparently this is how its supposed to go - if it doesn't work within a few minutes give up, go back to sleep and try again....) Dammit! I realised I needed the loo but pushed it out of my mind to keep trying.... I just had the feeling I was getting somewhere....... I 'came to' again and began sleepily watching some vague images that I could see behind my eyelids and I tried wiggling my energy hand on my right hand side. All of a sudden I heard a rushing sound in my head and I started vibrating. I remembered that I should try and move myself without moving my physical muscles (moving the energy body - its a weird sensation, but I guess I can best describe it as strongly imagining yourself moving and 'feeling' the sensations). I tried to intensify the buzzing/vibrating by concentrating on it.
Awkwardly, I moved my legs (they felt so heavy I thought I might be moving my physical legs - which would have been a bummer....). I kept my eyes shut and swung my legs off the side of the sofa. I felt heavy and wondered if I had sat up physically. I sat and thought for a second or two and realised that no, I was out of my body - everything felt subtly different. I started walking towards the window in the living room at the front of the house. I still hadn't opened my eyes and was walking sluggishly - it felt like I was moving through goo....
Movement got a bit easier as I got a bit further from my body.... some vision started to come and I could see bright light and fuzzy, but vibrant colours; white, yellow and pink.... maybe green.... I thought i heard my Mum talking in the kitchen although I knew she wasn't there physically. I said 'clarity now' to try and increase my vision - as I said it I wondered if it had made my physical lips move (seriously.... Why do I do that???). Instantly I was back in my body lying on the sofa. I remembered reading that after a re-entry to the body you should always try and immediately project again..... Then my Jack Russell jumped onto my lap and I was fully back and awake (thanks Gypsy!).
Notes: I was on cloud 9 after this experience! It was the first time I had a fully conscious projection in the daytime - and somewhere other than my bed :)
On a side note, I texted my Mum straight away to see where she had been or what she had been talking about when I thought I heard her in my kitchen - I thought it might give me some kind of verification, or maybe nothing at all. Either way I was interested. It turns out that during my nap she and my Dad had driven past my house and during my out of body experience had been sat having lunch in a pub just down the road from where I live. Perhaps my astral hearing is way way better than my physical, or perhaps I was aware on that level that my Mum was close by.... Or maybe it was a complete coincidence.......

First Continuous Conscious Projection
Wednesday 2nd April 2014
Where: In bed
Time: 6am
Weather: Cloudy
Techniques used: Loosening the energy body (astral body) by visualizing and 'feeling' myself moving side to side across the bedroom and up and down (ceiling to floor). I also used the rope climbing technique (where you imagine a rope hanging down in reach of your hands and feel yourself pulling yourself up and up). All of these techniques can be found in greater detail in Astral Dynamics by Robert Bruce.
I felt my physical body go numb and had to catch myself mentally as I began to fall asleep - maybe I did for a moment. All of a sudden I sat up in bed and swung my legs down to the floor to get up. As soon as I sat up I knew I was out of my body (whoop whoop! There's a very distinct qualitative difference in the way you feel 'physically' when you're out of your body - more sensation of movement than physical muscles working). I felt as though my eyes were still shut and decided not to open them as I thought it might put me back in my body (I was still really close).
I could see shades of light and dark though and knew I was near my bedroom window, but I felt like I was moving through treacle. As I felt myself getting closer to the window I decided to open my eyes. It took some effort. As soon as I did I experienced a very brief sense of movement and found myself back in my body.
Notes: Although short and sweet this was a pretty cool experience for me. It was my first continuous conscious projection. This means that there wasn't any 'blackout' period between being in my physical body and being aware that I was out of body. The closest that I had gotten before is that one minute I was in my physical body in bed, then next thing I knew I was no longer physical and was standing next to my bed. On both occasions I had a problem with my sight and could only see shades of light and mist - this seems to be a common problem (especially when close to your body?). From what I've read the difficulty of movement could have been a result of being in close proximity to my physical body, or perhaps it just felt that way because I believe it to be true??
