My Current Progression

[stevj016]

Hello everyone,

I've gone back to trying to astral project, after a long time off. I'm currently reading Astral Dynamics, which I hear is one of the best books around. Last night, I began relaxing, lying on my back in my bed. I just started trying to switch off from my physical body, going through each muscle and relaxing them, which gave me a nice tingly sensation. When I've done that, which is after only about 5-10 mins, I start to feel sensations in my forehead. And my whole entire body felt light and weird, it felt nice, at one point I felt as if I was spinning. But surely I'm not close to projecting, as this was after such a short time of relaxing, what do you guys think? Another thing about when I reach that stage is that everything is centered around my forehead, I feel all these different sensations, and see colours, I also feel that my eyes are trying to open at this point, or they are rolling up. One more thing, because this all happens so soon, I'm still conscious of my physical body, and I can still feel it kind of, like muscle twitches and things like that are still present.

Just thought I would tell you all where I am and what I'm experiencing, some insight as to where I am and what I'm experiencing would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Stevj016.

Light, weird and spinning tells me that you're energy body is loosening up and that's good. All that energy around your forehead seems to indicate your brow chakra is being activated which is good for a more visual and controlled kind of projection, I'm more of a root or heart chakra type, at least early on.

I would suggest that you continue what you are doing for awhile. If you desire a change, maybe try the WBTB method and wake yourself after 3 or 4 hours sleep, and then try a meditational technique. Or try a nap in the middle of the afternoon.

Progress can be slow and confusing at times, but it sounds like you're getting there. Keep on, EV.

I've also come back to this project. But reading Astral Dynamics as an aside to the Mastering Astral Projection. Which is a step by step.  The A. D. book has a lot of extra and although important information, not absolutely necessary for the projection itself, and remembering.  Just my 2 cents, hope it helps in someway.

In regards to reading books... I'd suggest reading *EVERYTHING* you can find on the subject.
Get as many ranging opinions and experiences as you can... then take all of it and find your own truth in the subject.
