Dear Amater_8, >> This might be just small delirious hallucination but I feel it should be reported in case someone knows the answer that will end my doubt. After practicing VOM for a bit longer period of time, when my body is totally relaxed, I have a habbit of slowly opening my eyes and then I usually see small clouds of illuminating smoke flowing across the room, moving very much like cigarette smoke. I wouldn't give this much thought, << Uhhh . . . if you're practicing VOM, then you shouldn't be giving it *any* thought! ;-) >> if it wasn't for the fact that smoke was also emanating directly *from* my hands (actually thats how I started to notice it first, by observing my hand). First I thought it might be some sort of energy, but since smoke is not what I expected energy will look like I started to think it has something to do with aura. But then again it might be just a bit of harmless hallucination. Anyone had similar experience? << I suggest that the next time this occurs and distracts you from your VOM, that you play with the smoke-energy. See if you can manipulate, etc. Ask *it* what it is and see what kind of, if any, answer you perceive. My best to you, :) Rawn Clark 22 Apr 2003 rawnclark@... rawn@... http://www.ABardonCompanion.com http://groups.yahoo.com/group/BardonPraxis http://E.webring.com/hub?ring=arionthebardonwe
