Background
A description of the experience
Practical Astral projection - Yram
As I opened my eyes it was quite impossible for me to make the least movement. My body was paralysed. The beating of my heart was almost imperceptible and my limbs would not obey my will. So I took the line of least resistance and went to sleep. After a few hours I awakened, tired, aching all over, and feeling as if I had been beaten by a stick
Practical Astral projection - Yram
One day I became conscious of my condition at a moment when I was half-projected. 'My face turned towards the floor, my body leaning slightly forward, my arms stretched out in front of me, I allowed myself to slip to the ground and "pulled" on that part of my double still fixed in its envelope, just as if I were sliding out of a coat that was too tight. Soon I experienced the feeling of placing my feet on the ground and stood up, regaining a normal posture, with that feeling of freedom which is so characteristic of the projected state..
One day I saw myself stretched out face down on a table, gripping and pulling at the edge, in order to leave my body. Another time, I found myself in bed, my head where my feet should have been; and I was moving in a jerky manner which was then necessary in order to obtain the desired results. On still another occasion I had the sensation of wrapping myself round the bedpost in order to leave my recalcitrant body.
