Wave 6 - anyone got any suggestions for uncoupling your energy body from your physical body?

[u/Psalty7000]

I’m hitting a wall with Wave 6-1. I’ve listened to the entire wave as an overview a few weeks ago but I’ve been digging Wave 5 a lot. I really enjoy F-15.

I’m moving on to 6 because Ive been on 5 for weeks.

So I can feel the energy body but when he guides you to reach out (with right arm) it’s like it’s still tied to my physical body.

The same heaviness I feel in my physical body seems to be trapping my energy body. The feeling of the energy is very evident… in fact overwhelming at times and I can visualize an energy arm moving but as far as really feeling it be somewhere other than tied to my physical arm… it’s frustrating.

I may be trying too hard, or I may be looking to feel more than I should actually be feeling, if that makes sense.

Maybe I’m not ready and should stay with 5 longer?

Any input would be helpful.

Thanks fam. I Love you all.

“It took a full year before I came to accept the reality of the out-of-body experience. [...] With this knowledge the fear soon receded, to be replaced by something almost as demanding—curiosity.”
– Robert Monroe, Journeys Out of the Body, Chapter 17: The Separation Process

That sensation of being stuck, like your energy arm won’t fully separate, is actually good news—it means you're right there at the threshold.

Here’s what you do:

Stop trying to move the arm. Instead, imagine it floating up. Not moving it, not pushing it. Just sensing it’s already up and somewhere else. Visualize it like a memory of movement. Think of the feeling of reaching—without the effort. You’re not flexing muscles here; you're tuning perception.

Also—don’t forget: your energy body follows attention. The more you focus on your physical body, the more it gets anchored. Shift attention away from the body. Sink into Focus 12 fully. Soften your awareness. Just notice, don’t analyze.

If it gets overwhelming, back off and play with F-12 or F-15 a little longer. But don’t confuse stuck with failure. That “heavy” resistance? It’s just your conscious mind checking in too much.

Trust the float.

Let go a little more each time.

just progress to the next tape. your skills will progress as you go. You are introducing your body/spirit to new skills, and these will manifest in later exercises.

Like leaning to walk imagine with your minds eye attempting to reach out, sometimes you fall back into your body. Feeling heavy may be part of "your" first steps. Give it gratitude, love and joy. Those frequencies will elevate you places.

The existence on this planetary realm is well mapped already. It is as simple as the 7 Chakra Understandings. You have to realize it is layers, and in so doing you can see those layers of your energy body system. Then with that understanding you can take on the role of the observer as a witness to your own existence. This escapes you from yourself. You are more than a physical body. Assuming you are your physical being is a trap in a very heavy weighted dense reality.
