Hi everyone !!

My real name is Mathieu and i'm 28 years old from canada.

I've never had astral projections experiences but i've been hoping to be able to do it since i was a teen. I mean eversince my mother and sister told me they had some . It's kinda frustrating because they are both scared of it and they didn't want it . I'm the complete opposite, i want it realy bad and even though i tried the meditation techniques here and there throughout the years, i've never been successful at it .

I eventualy stoped training because i eventualy stoped beleiving that i could make it happen. I was seeing no progress whatsoever and got discouraged . Then recently i was watching TV shows with people who has suppoernatural abilities such as telekinesis, reading thoughts, dreams about the futur and stuff like that and since i've always been attracted by anything related to the suppoernatural, it reminded me about astral projection and i decided to start training again.

So for 3 nights in a row, as i went to bed , i layed down on my back with my arms to my side and tried the same techniques i had been trying to use in the past and this time something does happen to me . I haven't been able to exit my body but after some time, my heart starts beating realy realy fast , i'm feeling my temperature go up alot within a few seconds and my body starts moving back and forth as if there was an earthquake or something similar . It's hard to explain because i know people talk about vibrations alot but for me it doesn't feel like a vibration, it's a bit too slow to be considered a vibration in my book .

It's as if my heart was beating so hard that it makes my whole body move with the pulsing . Now when i reach this point, i start feeling weird and the feeling is very very unconfortable and i feel as if i was going to "puke" sorry if this sounds inappropriate. So all 3 times, i decided to stop because i wasn't sure exactly if this was normal and i wouldn't want to provoque an heart attack or anything . I can't claim to be very healthy since i drink lots and lots of coffee and i'm a heavy smoker too. Now my question would be , should i just keep going?? Does this happen to everyone ? I know it does happen to other people but probably not to everyone . Does it eventualy stop ? is it only one of the stages of the meditation? Should i try to use the rope trick or any other "pull out " techniques at this point ?

SO i'll just leave it at that for now and i'll wait for someone to reply to these questions before i post again . I'm still gonna keep trying no matter what but i'm sure a few pointers would help. I'm realy determined to succeed because i've been obsessed by the supernatural eversince i was a kid. I'm not afraid to meet a ghost , i even wish i could spend a few nights in a haunted house just to make sure i meet one someday. It's realy frustrating that those things seem to only happen to people who are afraid and not to those who want it more than anything.

Thanks in advance

I wish you all a great day

And in response to the feelings you were feeling, from my experience it sounds alot like vibrational state to me. My first actual experience with that state was the other night and I had a mild tiingling sensation and my heart felt like it was going to beat out of my chest. The "puking" feeling you were describing may be your reaction to feeling this state for the first time as after I experienced it I had a slight feeling of naseua afterword from the fact that feeling it for the first time frankly scared the crap out of me, :-/. Hopefully I may have shed a tiny bit of light on your quandry.

Thanks for the welcome and the quick reply .

I'm already intending to try again tonight when i go to bed and i'm trying to make up my mind to go all the way through it no matter how long i remain in the "Unconfortable" state.

Last night , which was the last time i tried , when i reached this point i was getting realy realy excited , i was saying things to myself such as : "Yay !!!! this is it !!!! i'm finaly seeing progress !! " then i tried to imagine my astral body exiting my body but i was still "vibrating" and the longer i remained on my back and the faster my heart would beat untill i simply couldn't bare it any longer and i decided to open my eyes , roll to the side and allow my body to calm down. which took at least 5 minutes , maybe more.

I'm realy curious to know what i'm supposed to do at this point. I've never been able to get through it . I don't know if that's the time to try the rope technique or if it's later on.

What i will try tonight is simply to try and bare it for as long as possible no matter how much it hurts and no matter for how long. I'm hoping it will eventualy stop though because it was kinda painful. But tonight instead of getting excited i'll just wait and try to remain calm and let things happen on their own. I can't wait to get tired again lol. I can't try anything now because i would get too easily distracted by all the sounds in the house and there is no way that i could reach this state with those kids living upstairs who just keep running and jumping all day .

Anyways , thanks again for the reply .

I'll come back to post about my experience tomorrow .

As I have not had a conscious OBE I can only tell you what I read. From most of posts I've read, when you reach the vibrational state you should just let it happen, and remain calm, and when you feel your astral body, try an exit technique such as the rope technique or rolling your astral body over. Hope my very limited knowledge helps.

Hallo Dalandar and welcome.
Sometimes it takes a long time before that first OBE happens. It took me over 6 months. Stay focused and positive and eventually that first OBE Will occur.

Regards

hey !!

Thanks again everyone for the warm welcome .

Been trying everynights so far and it's always the same thing and it actualy results in insomnia everytime i try. When i go to bed i'm actualy tired but just as i'm falling asleep, or should i say , the second i'm about to fall asleep , i'm feeling that URGE to turn to the side and as i don't do it , my heart starts beating like crazy and it gets soo painfull that i can't bare it . And i'm using the word painfull because it is .

And then i always say bonk it i'll try tomorrow and i turn to the side but it's too late . I simply can't keep my eyes closed anymore , i'm not even tired anymore after this and i end up not being able to sleep at all.

So it's a lose/lose situation, not only don't i get to astral project but i also don't get to sleep . It's realy frustrating.

I understand completly what you mean sir. I have hit the same wall several times. The way I have been trying to get past it is, just completely forget your physical body. The more you let yourself be distracted by the physical signs your body is doing, the harder it will be to achieve the body asleep/mind awake state. Next time you feel the comings of that urge, forget about anything physical and just disconnect yourself in a sense from your physical body, if that makes sense. Haha hope this helps
