Do you mean, your body has a moment of not breathing, or do you mean your astral form?
I've had meditations where I briefly stop breathing, I'm not sure it really stops, but suspect things have slowed down so they are imperceptible.
If your consciousness has shifted to out of body your astral doesn't require breathe, nor in lucid dreaming.
There are a few conditions where you can momentarily stop breathing in sleep and perhaps while in deep meditation. Some wake up because they quit
breathing while sleeping.
Apparently in Astral projection there is a decrease in breathing.
This is a really good site, and its about Lucid Dreaming. Now Lucid, in dream state or in meditation/awake state, is a lot easier for me, in
meditation I don't call that lucid dreaming, but mental projection, a form of obe akin to remote viewing. But you enter the state/realm and I
believe its the same realm and more real than here.
When a friend and I shared an experience two nights ago, he basically wanted to see if we could bust out of here, this "dream" universe. The couple,
sort of like mib showed up, as if we were not meant to do this. They looked like the red haired couple, somewhat, in the lucid cross roads.
I was shocked. Orion is what came strongly to me, Gate Keepers. Though I doubt this dark blue was real for I saw a woman with pale grey blue, almost
more skin color, and pale blond hair slicked back too. But these two had darker blue, she had red hair, and he had tawny red/blond hair, and at first
green eyes, but then they became more solid/clear and it apeared yellow crystal type eyes. And they were beautiful, unlike the picture.
When I showed him the picture he said. Coincidence? I think not!!! It was so odd. It was odd that we were able to share details that coincided
afterwards too.
lucidcrossroads.co.uk...
Now this site gives good information, articles I've kept, on lucid dreaming. And its easier to obtain than obe's for many.
You also enter the realm. So while the creator of the site suggests in his lucid articles the people there weren't real, I would suggest some may be
created by the mind and some may be real. Also, many who lucid dream decide to practice breathing under water.
Conquering the fear of not breathing, or having your breathing stop may go away, if you do lucid dream.
Now being lucid in a dream is not easy to catch. But, there are two techniques that are easy to do, that can bring you to the lucid state.
And it may also solve the Obe problem.
1. When in meditation,or even seated, eyes clothed, bare feet on the floor, hands on lap. I prefer laying down. Cover on. When you wake up.
Remember you dream, and then go back to sleep, trying to pick up the dream and saying you are lucid, awake while dreaming to yourself. If you do it
right, you pick up in your mind where you left off, with your imagination and direct like a meditation, so it seemlessly is like you fell alseep but
your still awake.
In order for the technique to work, and also probably true with your OBE.
You touch things around you. You make it real, solidify it by texture or form. You rub your hands together. Look at your hands. You can apply
Lucid Dream technique. Reach behind and pull a pill out, this pill will make it solidify, and become real. Take the pill. You can create ahead of
time a list of things to do to make it real.
If its the dream, focus on some elements of the dream, the landscape, tree, car, person, and look at them clearly, to bring them to clarity. Try to
achieve 3d depth by looking over the shoulder of a person or past a scenary to bring into depth something in the background.
2. If its in meditation, the lucid attempt. I use something over my eyes. You reach a meditative state, say with Theta. And then you let whatever
you see, things pop in, you can choose to reach for one and solidify it. I turn down most of that as I feel its intruders. I think there are many
realms that want our attention. Use discernment.
3. Theta is good. Delta is slowest brain wave. It puts me to sleep and drugs me, don't like it. But, also have nearly reached that in meditation.
When in deep meditation I also panic in a quit breathing scenario. I attribute it to delta, though could be wrong. But it might be worth listening
to delta and trying to master your body, recognizing what it feels like when your breathing slows right down or seemingly quits, pushing past this
"fear or annoyance" in meditation to get comfortable with it.
Sorry this is so long.
