Default Sleep paralysis and astral projection

A week ago, I had a somewhat powerful energetic experience in my third eye chakra, and then went to sleep shortly thereafter. That morning, I had my first ever experience with sleep paralysis. . .being awake and aware of everything, but unable to move my body. I got this inclination that maybe that means I short move outside of my body (have an out-of-body experience). Then I got a little scared because I don't know anything about how to go OBE and be safe, and so I stayed in my body and went back to sleep. (I also feel intimidated by the concept of OBE because I feel a strong need to be grounded. I have made great strides in the past 6 months -- I used to be so ungrounded that I couldn't control my energy and it could be a little scary.)

I just saw a recent blog post where Erin said sleep paralysis can be a wonderful precursor to astral projection. Really? Can anyone expand upon this or recommend good resources to read? How do I practice safe OBE?

Default

I had sleep paralysis recently:
almost got out

I tend to think even thoughts it's maybe a fun thing and slightly revealing to go out of body, I don't think it's important for spiritual growth.

Actually, I think it might be more important to be able to feel your spiritual body in your physical body. It would be easy to get side tracked into kind of escaping by doing OOBEs.
