fear while out of body is 'fear' itself. Nothingelse can directly hurt a projector and nothing can get at their physical body and mindduring a conscious projection. While it is fairly rare to come across anything nasty ornegative during a projection, any troublesome entity a projector might stumble acrosscannot, therefore, directly harm them. They can, however, show themselves as a formdesigned to scare the daylights out of a projector, and this can cause psychologicallydamage. This can also result in a subconscious fear of OOBE. It can cause aninstinctive, negative baulking type of reaction, which can ruin every conscious exit. Thiscan stop a projector from enjoying conscious OOBE for the remainder of their life, unlessthey can program themselves to overcome it. If this is already the case, I suggest acourse of affirmations and self-hypnosis be used to overcome it. Fear Of OOBE Exit Sensations: Fear of OOBE exit sensations is the very first of the natural barriers to consciousexit oobe needed to overcome. This is not easy and can take a lot of control, as well as alot of faith that the heavy physical sensations of early conscious projections will notactually hurt you. The sensations can be 'extremely' physical and violent, especiallyduring the first few conscious exit attempts, but will always progressively reduce duringsubsequent projections. The physical heartbeat is 'not' actually increased by a conscious exit projectionattempt. It is not 'caused' to physically race by the OOBE attempt - although it will oftendefinitely 'feel' like it is racing so fast it seems about to explode. This racing sensation isthe heart chakra (primary center) working overtime to provide the energy needed togenerate and project the Real Time vehicle. The difficulty here is, again, caused by thereal time body attempting to take an 'awake' copy of consciousness out of body. This issomething quite different from natural sleep projection, and therefore can cause somerather extreme energy movement sensations, which are often felt as extremely physicalsensations.The heart may, indeed, increase in speed when the heart chakra becomes fully active'if' the projector becomes frightened. Fear and panic can cause further sensations by wayof an 'actual' rapid heartbeat, shortness of breath, vertigo, nausea, cramps and pain, etc.The best way to get over this is to concentrate everything on climbing ROPE and gettingout of body as 'quickly' as possible - while totally ignoring the racing heart sensation andheavy bodily vibrations. The sooner the projector gets out of their body the sooner thesewill stop. The heavy physical sensations can, to a great extent, be reduced by regularmeditation and energy work, which progressively develops the energy body, enabling itto provide and deal with the energies required for conscious exit projection. A smoothand rapid exit from the physical body is, however, the very best way of overcoming this.Please note that 'not' everybody experiences heavy exit sensations, but it is farbetter to be prepared for a worst case scenario than to be caught by surprise and scaredout of a perfectly good projection. Heavy exit sensations, on their own, can also causepsychological scarring and make each future projection attempt even more difficult toachieve. This is
