I personally find it easier to project just before I fall asleep at night, but I am better at meditating early in the morning because I don't have thoughts running wild from daily activities.  

For meditation I like having my mind clear, and for projection a little mind activity helps keep me awake when I attempt to project.

So far it's always been morning for me. Night time I just tend to fall asleep!

Greetings,

I find that 3am-5am is a best time for me to meditate and try to project.

Yours,

Osiris.

meditation-any time at all.just as long as I have no distractions or time limits

phasing-early to mid morning (maybe 6:00-9:00 am)

I like to do it before I fall asleep. Most of the time I do fall asleep, that is when I am not really meditating correctly. When I do that correctly, I stay awake!

I always meditate before going to bed.  I find this easier because it is good down time and I have fewer distractions, no tv, radio, ect.

I often slip into sleepafter meditation as well and don't particularly care for mid day naps.  It upsets my sleep schedual which has enough problems.

I also meditate before bed becuase I find it easier to let my mind go as well as clearing out the junk from the day.

This also helps increase my dream activity.

I'm up early on Mondays (about 5am) and I'm home from work at about 4pm. Although its only slightly out of sync with my normal waking hours, I believe it makes a difference.

I try phasing on my return home as my body is feeling sleepy / relaxed, but my mind is usually wide awake. Normally on my return home, I feel as if I could lie down and fall asleep w/in 10 minutes. Coupled with my mind being active already, I find it easy to approach the point where I'm hovering on the brink of sleep.

My time of day is much the same as Mark's. I'm up very early and off to work. These days I get home around 4pm. That gives me a couple of hours to do astral phasing before my wife gets home.

Likewise, I seem to be better able to get to the mind-awake/body-asleep state at this time. Typically, I am physically tired after work but the mind is still awake, so it seems like a good fit.

Bottom line, the astral sessions are really structured after work hours by necessity, however it seems to be satisfactory this way.


Very best,

Hi All

I`m an afternoon guy too. All of the 35 projections I`ve logged since March have occurred between 3:15 and 4 P.M.I read somewhere that the body goes into a natural sleep cycle every afternoon which is perhaps not as deep as the nightime version.It could also explain why alot of cultures are partial to an afternoon siesta!
I listen to an hour of Hemi-synch every night before I fall asleep.At the same time I`ll do my energy work which is mostly NEW with some things I`ve picked up off the boards.

Happy Trails

i find that morning is the best time to meditate.  it helps if you can keep your mind clear of what you are going ot do for that day.  it will take over your meditation session if you let it.  

during  my stay at a monastery we were to meditate in the morning at six for an hour.  we weren't allowed to anything beforehand, speak or even eat breakfast.

You might check out the research of james spottiswoode re sidereal time and how to calculate it for your area.  We used his calculations and when we did remotr viewing at the correct sidereal time we got noticeably better results.  I suggest you calculate it for a long-ish period as it may not be practical if it is at, for ex, 0200 hrs etc.

A difficult time for me to try to project is at bedtime. Probably because my mind is usually filled with all the days' activities.  I drink a glass of water just before going to bed and then at bedtime I just go to sleep.  I usually have to get up 2 or 3 times during the early morning hours and I find them to be the best times to practice and it also increases my changes of success.   My body is then really relaxed and I can accelerate the process. Waking up like this does not pose a problem for me as I am retired and don't have to set the alarm to go to work now.

I am a morning person, meaning that I am incoherent by bedtime. If I try to meditate in any way, I just fall asleep faster than the usual instaneously. I don't want to encourage the habit of falling asleep in trance, so I don't normally try.
Morning meditation works for me.
