Finally did it !!! I think

[JesusGonzalez]

So i made a topic about ringing in the ears and how to astral project with the ringing.But last night i went to bed.I focused on the ringing of my ears .I focused for about what felt like 30 seconds i then doze off because i was extremely tired.I ended up in the Hypnogagic state (I believe that's not the correct spelling lol) I saw my body in third person I said in my mind "i need to forget about my physical bdy" my body suddenly disapeared.I felt like i had no limbs just a floating orb (wierd description).I then ended up in my body in sleep paralysis i didnt feel any suffocating feeling like last time.I didnt feel anything at all.I actually felt like i was dreaming but i know it was real.I then decided to try to teleport to my kitchen (that didnt work).I then decided to just leave my body the old fashion way.I succeeded with ease.I left my body and floated to the ceiling.I then felt the presence of another being .It didnt feel like a negative being at all.I ignored the feeling and tried to move.I guess i dazed off while i was astral projecting.I then fell asleep. So kind of a success but also a failure .Any thoughts on this.

That's great!!  I think most of us spend some time bouncing off the walls and ceilings before much else happens.  You'll gain more skills every time.  Tip:  When you want to move or go somewhere, just do it!  Don't struggle or second guess yourself about how to do it.  Just move forward.   Believe you can and you will.

Congrats man! That's a huge success because once you have your first one, the hardest part is out of the way. It sounds like you and I are pretty much at the same stage right now, so its great to be on this part of the journey with someone else. Your success inspires me man so keep it up!

I don't really know to be honest. I've had nothing but very weird projections thus far, so I'm not entirely sure if I've ever fully left my body yet. Either I have full vision but I cannot get completely out of my body, or I feel as though I'm shot through a cannon out of my body, but I can see nothing but blackness. lol. I'm sure I'll get them both put together pretty soon!

It's really easy to daze off, as you say, during a projection. It makes sense right?  Your trying to keep your mind awake when it naturally wants to be asleep. You have to periodically tend to your level of awareness by engaging your senses in the NP environment.  Some times I'll go over to a wall, and look at and feel the texture of it with my NP hand.  Sometimes I rub my hands together.  Also challenge yourself mentally while your in the NP.  Take mental notes on all the things your experiencing as your experiencing them.  All these things will help keep you from 'dazing off.'

I have found that to be quite true! I'll be dazing off into a dream, and then all the sudden I'll hear a loud scream or something in the hypnagogic state, and I'll think "that's an interesting sound. I wonder why I heard that. It sounded like a woman yelling for someone" etc... and those kinds of thoughts really end up keeping me conscious while everything else drifts off to sleep.
