So i did astral projection the other night... i think? i wrote it down immediatly afterwards so i would not forget and it says here that i did a few calming exercises (i.e. breathing, expanding my third eye, falling into my 'state of mind' i'm not sure what to call it) and then once i fell into that state i saw pulsating lights, my eyes were open because i was blinking very rapidly;my eyes were very dry. I was away from my bed, but i could feel it.. it was like there was a wrapping of fuzzy around my arms and the rest of my body. my head began to feel heavy and i felt strain. i've been told that you aren't supposed to feel strain, but i kept pushing myself and let the lights go by. they were of blue and green and violet and the insides. (it kind of reminded me of tye-dye) and then my cat brushed my foot and i decided to let go and i slowly sank into my body. can anybody at all help me out here? is there something that i'm doing wrong or is this not even a stage of AP? *lost*
