First post and first time ALMOST astral projected

[Hoff123]

Hi! This is my first post, and now that I have started astral projecting consciously, I wanted to find a forum to talk about it so I just googled "astral projection forum" and found this .

Anyway, so I was really tired of reality and felt like crap. I just needed to leave this physical place a little. And not much was required to feel better again . So, I knew about astral projection, I just had never done it, but this time I really felt that I could. It was night and I was gonna sleep(pretty late lol), and I did what I had read earlier that evening. I relaxed as much as I could(I have also done a little bit of relaxation and meditation before), and then I got my body to sleep, while I was awake. So you could say that my body was sleeping, but not my mind. And I can't believe how accurate all that I've read was. I actually heared some kind of weird popping(a bit creepy haha), and then my body felt really heavy...and weird lol. And then I felt like a strong pull, to get up, out of my body. EXACTLY like I've read. Now, honestly, this was EXACTLY what I was expecting to happen. Not only because I had read it, but because deep down I knew how this stuff works, because I still remember when I was little and I had experiences like this. What caused them to stop though, was that I got TERRIFIED and blamed it on being sick(I think I had a fever the last time or something lol). So obviously I got terrified(just like I had read everyone gets) and said "NO, I don't want to". And I stopped the process and never truly left my body. But it actually was a little harder than I had thought, because my body was REALLY tired lol. Still, didn't take more than a few seconds.

Anyway, so yeah, because I was terrified, I never truly went out of my body, but still, IT WAS FREAKING AWESOME haha. And just that little experience helped me get back on track(at list a bit) with my life. I started remembering stuff from when I was little(astral projection, seeing auras, and maybe even entities). I remembered(and still do) that because it scared the crap out of me and I thought I was crazy, I then blocked it out, and then because of that got to focused on reality and forgot about all this. Isn't it the same for most people? They know all this stuff when they get here, but then society causes them to forget about it for some reason(most likely fear, because people tell them they are crazy)?

Anyway, just that little experience made get back on track with my life. And now I feel way more hopeful about my life . And now I'm just gonna get rid of that fear, and then the next time I try to astral project, I'm really gonna do it .

Hi and welcome to the Pulse.
There's so much you already know and your hangups are so typical too. Face your fear of the unknown head on. You shoukd by now instinctively know you are safe and the worst thing left is you scare yourself.
With the thoughts you have manifesting, the simple answer is whatever you see is friendly. That should help your understanding as you learn the controls.

Welcome! You sound like you are well on your way! Fear can be an irritating obstacle. When I was young I was usually very afraid then I decided one day that I was afraid of enough things in the real world. Sometimes it's fun to be a hero and jump into the fray so to speak. Where else can you take risks and have no penalties? It can certainly be more fun. Let us know how it goes!
