Great urge to practice

Felt a great urge to practice, watched some videos and read some psipog articles.  Some meditation, PK and levitation practice for 2 hours.

Before going to sleep, I meditated and when I dropped into a somewhat deeper state, I saw an old woman with wrinkles looking at the sky. The sky was almost clear, with a few clouds only. The woman was dressed in light grey or white and had a low hat on her head. I stopped the meditation and wrote down what I had seen. Didn't get anything after that though.

Suffocation

Note: Not sure of the date, so I picked it pretty much randomly.

I was just a few footsteps from home when I saw a kid walking by. The kid looked at me once and I suddenly felt that there was something blocking my throat and I bursted out coughing (I wasn't sick or anything and the last time I coughed was probably months ago). The kid stopped and looked at me like he felt responsible for this or something.

A gift: the treasure chest

Note: The date could be wrong, but should be quite close to the actual experience.

I was meditating and wished for being able to do PK again. Someone gave me a gift - a finely crafted chest.

I visualized a room with 2 bookshelves and put it in the middle. I can't exactly recognize the room I visualized - It's somewhat foreign to me. I know that there's this window left to the first bookshelf and outside there's a city. It's on a relatively high floor.

Anyway, I couldn't wait - I wanted to see what's inside the chest already. Opened it and there was nothing particularly interesting - some empty papers and nothing more.

But then suddenly, the chest closed by itself and I realized that it was not the inside of the chest that was important, but rather the box itself. Tried to PK it open a number of times and at first it got worse, but then I started getting a bit better at it. Then PK-ed it open, moved around it and found positions and angles, where I still lost it. Practiced them some more and I could already keep it open for as long as my focus lasted.

Waking up in another body

Note: Not sure of the date again, just picked one.

It was a free weekend and I was just trying to sleep a little longer even though I was already awake. Fell asleep again and saw a dream. It was not the dream that was weird, but the way I woke up.

The dream was over and I started to flow back into the body. While approaching the body, I literally felt the memories of the dream slowly fading away. At the same time, the memories from the body slowly faded into my mind. I remembered that it was a free weekend and that I could do whatever I wanted to.

There was one problem though - after flowing through the concrete wall, I had difficulties entering the body. It felt as if the body posed a great resistance to my soul. I then found out that it was easier to enter through the mouth. There was this special sound that I heard while doing this (low breath in sound - you know, like the dementors did in Harry Potter).

I was slowly flowing into the body and without even opening my eyes, I saw the walls with posters around me. My mind was totally clear - just as if I had been meditating the whole time. I thought: "the practice of vision with my eyes closed has paid off pretty good".

And when I thought that, I felt being pushed out of the body, through the concrete wall again. I was using some intermediary space for moving quickly from one place to another. Well, the memories of being in the body slowly faded out again (though some of it remained - just like after waking up from a dream).

I approached another body and its memories slowly faded into my mind. I entered the body (I guess it was through the mouth again and that I felt some resistance again). I slowly wake up and found that it was weird even though the most of the experience had faded so that I couldn't remember all of the details anymore.

So, if being in the other body felt like it definitely was my own body because of all the memories, how can I be certain that I'm in the correct body at the moment? Maybe I'm not, but if the memories and behavior come from the body, then maybe it's not important.

Those were the questions that formed after this experience. I personally thought it was just another dream, because the entering throught mouth and feelings while entering / leaving a body seemed unrealistic. One hell of a dream nevertheless.

Lost scissors

Note: Not sure of the date again, just picked one.

Kevin and I were coming back from the cattle range right next to the sea. Kevin always keeps eating dried flatfish and also couldn't resist it this time. Many scissors were already broken because of cutting dried fish and so Aivo had just recently bought new scissors especially for cutting dried flatfish. Kevin had taken these scissors with him to test them. The only problem was that when we arrived at home, he found that the scissors were no longer in his pocket.

So, we went back to search for these scissors, or actually "to find them, not just search for them". Or at least, that's what I remember saying. The area to search for was huge (something like 1 square kilometer) and some of it was covered in high grass, making it seemingly impossible to find the scissors. I thought that without a proper mindset, it would be impossible to find them and that's why I tried to convince myself that "Simply searching for the scissors would be pointless. It's actually easier than that - we just have to pick it up from where it is." Well, I didn't have a clue, how we were going to find them.

We went near the sea and stopped. I tried to feel the area, trying to visualize the scissors so that I would feel the direction we should go. I noticed that in the visualization, the scissors were in low grass, near some darker round object. I also got a faint indication in which direction the scissors should be. We started walking in this direction and soon found ourselves in front of the scissors, lying in low grass, near the shitpie of a cow (or was it a rock, can't remember anymore).

We were impressed. It really did look almost as if we went to where the scissors were just to pick them up rather than searching for them..

Redundancy

Note: Can't remember the date - just picked a random date as close to the actual event as possible.

During a weekend I thought I would try to meditate the whole night. One of my friends said his brother had done it once. At first my body began to itch and hurt in a few places. I didn't give up and meditated on without moving. I then started to yawn violently, I tried to suppress that also. 

At some moment, it felt as if my body had fallen asleep and I was still awake, meditating. My pulse and breathing had slowed down and I noticed that I could "think" outside of the body. I tried to pull myself out of the body in order to experience an OBE. I tried to rotate myself out of the body, lean out of it, levitate out and so on.. nothing seemed to be working (I was still stuck). 

So I tried to visualize myself sitting about a meter to my right. I failed at visualizing it well enough at first, but after a while, I started to actually feel myself in two places simultaneously. I felt someone sitting to my right in the place I visualized myself sitting. At the same time, I also felt myself sitting where I had visualized myself sitting and someone sitting to my left. I got confused and didn't recognize that it was me (realized it a few days after the experience) sitting right next to me and I asked in my mind: "Who are you and what are you doing there?" I thought it weird that I received absolutely no response from him.


I thought "Whatever", woke my body up (it seemed somewhat confused about me waking it up at the middle of the night) and went to bed.

First success at PK

Note: The actual date is unknown, so I picked a date that more-or-less fits.

I had been practicing PK for maybe 1 month + a week or so and I decided to try grounding and centering for the first time. I grounded myself before starting practicing.

Put up a block of notepapers on the corner of an old computer monitor. Made sure that all the windows and doors were closed. Put my hands close to it, got the feeling of the paper-block and induced the feeling of one of its corners leaning down. Nothing happened.

Grounded myself again, this time I felt a great psi pressure building up from my feet to the top of my head. I probably did this too fast, because it hurt my head a bit. The pain gradually went away and a fountain of psi formed out of the top of my head.

I tried PK once more and induced the feeling of a corner of the block of notepapers leaning down - I wanted the notepapers to drop to the floor. It twitched slightly, but it was difficult to make it move exactly how I wanted it to move.

I grounded myself again and this time the psi pressure was so great that I felt ground shaking under my feet. I tried again and this time got it move in the right direction. I managed to keep the previous feeling of moving it down and induced another feeling of it leaning down onto the previous one - it moved twice as much as it did before.

I pulled my hands away from the paperblock and tried again. To my surprise, I was able to lean the paperblock down just as I was able to do it with my hands (it was just easier to start with the hands first). I then took a few steps away from the block of papers and it still moved almost the same way. Couldn't get it to fall off the computer screen, but it moved down for about 1 cm.

I couldn't believe it, walked around in circles for a few seconds, opened all windows and inspected the movement of the paper-block again. It moved almost the same way it did with the windows closed - so, it could have been wind. As the windows were closed during the practice and the paperblock moved more-or-less the way I visualized it move, I guess I could call it my first successful attempt in PK.

After this day, I forgot to practice PK again. A few days later, I tried it on the curtains in the bathroom and I could still slightly move the curtains with my hands 1 cm away from them.
