Well as the title states, I am new to astral pulse and just wanted to post and see if any of you can give me any advice on how I can improve my chances of having a successful AP. I have always
Been interested in lucid dreams, astral projection, psychokinesis and the like. When I do dream, I usually can make myself lucid with little to no effort. My main problem is when I attempt to AP, it seems like I can relax my whole body, but cannot achieve SP or the vibrational stage.
I have been looking through these forums looking for people who have had similar difficulties, but searching is challenging on a phone which is how I access these forums. Any advice from master to newbie would be greatly appreciated.

Hi there Glivre,

Welcome to the Astral Pulse.

I've compiled the works and lessons of a guy who used to post here named Frank Kepple.  I've since organized his information into a format that I feel can help others do the type of projection that Robert Monroe labeled "Phasing".

Enjoy.

Thank you both for those articles, do you guy have advice about how to clear my mind as I think this might be where the troubles lie. Also I have trouble getting my eyes to settle down in order to see the 3d blackness, any advice for that as well? Sorry if I sound like a complete noob but I would just like to get the best info possible. Thanks in advance for the advice. And Ryan and NoY, very nice to meet you both.

Hallo Glivre
There is a FAQ forum here. I'm not sure if the links that Xanth and Noy provided go to the FAQ. If not that would be the place to start. Then, if you still have questions (and you probably will), do a Search of the site. That will certainly result in a lot of info.

Regards
Grey

Thank you grey, I've been perusing the FAQ and have found some good tips. I will follow your advice and I will update you all with my experience tonight. Thanks for all the support everyone.

Welcome to the Astral Pulse Glivre!

Well, time to update you all with my experience last night. After looking through the material you guys provided, I decided to try the white energy flowing in on the in breath and the cleansing purple fire with the out. I was able to get to fairly relaxed in about 20 min, but when I attempted to relax further, my random thoughts shattered it all. So even though I'm sure there is something posted about clearing your mind, do anyone of you guys have personal tricks for clearing your mind in order to enter the correct level of relaxation for OBE? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all once again for being so awesome

[NoY]

if you listen carefully you will see that you know what your going to think before you think it
all of the information is there in the first millisecond, and then you say it out loud to yourself in your head

you just need to bite your tongue mentally and your mind will be much quieter
learn to just listen to the pinprick of thought that happens first. and don't repeat it to yourself

:NoY:

[Glivre]

Thank you NoY, I will try that tonight, I also noticed that once I had become relaxed enough, when my eyes are closed, purplish forms will fluctuate kinda the same way if you push the back of your hands hard againsts closed eyes and have those flashes of light. Should I attempt to concentrate on those purple forms or is that completely counterproductive?

[NoY]

try to ignore the initial visuals until you start seeing a scene you can really get absorbed in
then you can explore away, which could trigger a projection

[Glivre]

Alright, once again NoY you share your wisdom with a lowly noob such as I. I apologize if I'm annoying you with these questions as well. I just hope to attain the level where I can have a concious OBE at will and meet with other forum goers in the astral.
