Experience that Rekindled my Interest in Astral Projection

Following is the experience I had that rekindled my interest in astral projection. This happened in the early 1990's.

I was sleeping in on a Saturday morning. This was a miracle in itself, since my children were very young at the time. I awoke to find my body in a familiar state of sleep paralysis. (I've since learned that this occurs when one's consciousness is focused in the astral body and not the physical body. Thus is means we are either out of the body, or very close to projecting.)

I sensed a presence near me, or rather just above my body, and began to feel delicious waves of energy that began around my belly button and rolled in waves up over my chest and then began again at the belly and rolled upward. It was a sexual sort of energy, yet different from physical sexual sensation.

I thought to myself: "If there's a non-physical entity creating this wonderful sensation, perhaps I should put a stop to it: I don't know the entity's intentions." Then I thought, "Oh, this feels so great I don't care what's causing it to happen." This thought frightened me, as I thought it might be taken as an invitation to any sort of non-physical "stranger" to have its way with me, and as soon as I thought this, the energy waves dissipated.

I was still paralyzed for a few moments, but gradually my consciousness reconnected with the physical and I began to move my body. Later this day I searched the internet for information on astral projection, found Bob Peterson's book, and began exercises to consciously induce an out of body experience.
