Yes falling asleep is one of the common problems. Have you tried these few things?
- Find a space "other than where you go to bed" where you can work on your OOB experiences. The reason has to do with ourselves being conditioned that its sleep time when we sit or lay on our beds.
- Try conditioning yourself not to fall asleep in new spot by doing something such as burning incense when working on OOBE's and kind of gradually working your way to a meditative relaxed state, each time going at it just a little longer. Its important to realize when you're getting too sleepy and getting up and telling yourself this is not your sleep spot. Sooner or later you should be conditioned enough to meditate long enough without falling asleep. The new spot, together with the smell of incense will tell your mind that it is NOT time to sleep.
- Only try doing OOBE's when you're not tired -and- try setting your alarm to wake you earlier in the morning. Then get up and walk around for about 10 to 15 min's. The trick here is to wake up your mind, and then before your body fully gets worked up, try an OOBE. Your mind should have had sufficient sleep and the body should still be in a relaxed state. Prime conduction to try doing an OOBE.
- Firmly repeat these affirmations to yourself as much as you can when you are attempting an OOBE: "I will not fall asleep" - "I will have an OOBE" - "I am now out of my body"
- Lastly, but quite expensive, there is the Hemi-Sync Gateway series produced by Robert Monore at the Monroe Institute.
I wish you luck Southpawkicker.. :)
