A night's experience

[Jerseysoulja]

I am becoming more interested in astral projection, spiritual guides, and everything related. On a side note, right now I'm just living my life, really don't know what I'm doing, what my purpose is. With that, I figured I'd give it a try and I asked my spirit guides to speak to me, to guide me on what my purpose is here.

I was trying to go to sleep that night and I don't know if I was making it up in my head, but words were coming to me like, "don't be afraid, let us show you", "you need to relax". It was like having conversations with myself.

I've read about what happens right before you astrally project from many people, so you could say I have a good knowledge on what to look for, or feel. I kept having the vibrations, almost a feeling of being paralyzed, being weightless, a weird feeling throughout my body. It seemed just before the brink of projection I would stop it by opening my eyes, moving my body, whatever. After I did that I heard the voices again. "relax, you have nothing to be afraid of" This must have went on for hours, as I couldn't sleep. I said to "them" I guess my body isn't ready as I keep rejecting it. They said don't worry, you are meant to do this, you are meant to be here. After a few more times I looked at the clock, realized I had to be up in 2 hours with no sleep, and said that I didn't want it right now, I guess I wasn't ready. Soon after that, I finally fell asleep.

The reason for this post is I am interested to see if any of you on here have any input on this experience, or can share any thoughts about it. Maybe you have had a similar experience. There are only 2 things I can make of it. Either I have been reading way too much about AP and everything related, or something paranormal actually did happen. I'd appreciate any thoughts shared on this subject. Thank you

wow..what a cool little experience.  I'd say u and me are on about the same level.  Right on the brink of cousiously APing.  I fall asleep at night too feeling this heaviness, vibrations sometimes.. all that - catching myself falling asleep.  It's a cool feeling.  I know it's hard to stay comfortable sometimes, with all these thoughts and my body twitching and all that but it is important.  I usually just stay awake rolling over, tossing and turning,  just trying to relax my body, settling all my thoughts... drifting off on some of my deeper ones.  And just letting those feelings come naturally.  Sometimes I think we try to force them - but just try to let them come naturally.  "Just go with it".  -  I've had quite a few experiences..I usually can recall at least a little bit of my dream/s every night, some lucid some not so.  
But yeah, just keep it up, 'practice' like they say, just do it everynight.  I feel like I'm progressing - slowly but surely.

Hi

Interesting

if you're curious, see my last experience that looks like yours http://www.astralpulse.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=167731&highlight=#167731

Like you, I wonder if this was "all in my head". But I did feel like someone was talking to me, giving words of reassurance.

Yours,
