This sounds counter-intuitive, but stay with me--  don't try so hard.  It's completely possible to get to the point you did, but not be relaxed enough to go OOB.  The first time you were totally focused on the task (from your description) but said you didn't expect much.  That's a perfect mind-set for total relaxation.  Now it sounds as if you're too tense to let go.  Hemi-Sync or some comparable audio may help you.  Depending on how susceptible you are to the tones, it can induce a relaxed state or at least help to relax you by refocusing your attention.  You can do it!  

Interesting.  When OOB, I only experience spinning when I ask for healing or heightened abilities of some sort.  For example, today, among other things, I asked for heightened psychic abilities and started spinning head over heels.  That was a new one.     Usually, I end up spinning to the left or right, so to speak.  Now a few times, I asked for my third eye to be opened a bit more and immediately felt like my third eye was being drilled.  My astral teeth were chattering from the vibration. Yikes!  Told whomever (myself, I guess) that I'd had enough and it stopped.  Anyone else?

No, I haven't.  What has your experience been?

On a related note, I did recently ask for my crown chakra to be opened.(No particular reason other than I wanted to see what would happen.  Not too bright in retrospect?   )  

Let me tell you, felt like the top of my head was being drilled into and my astral teeth were rattling!  Got a little tired of that, so asked for my third eye to be opened--same sensation.   Not scary, just really over-the-top.  :cyclops:

Mind you, was probably just a manifestation of my idea of what it would "feel" like if my chakras were opened...

Yep.   Thx!  

Could be.  Beliefs could also contribute to physical aging on some level.  

I always like to say affirmations for health or whatever else is on my mind while AP'ing.  Figure it couldn't hurt and if thoughts are reality in the non-physical, maybe those focused, positive thoughts will help in the physical.  

Regarding the silver cord.  The book does mention that "Devon's" connection to the physical grew weaker.  Her intent to spend more and more time in the non-physical finally tipped the balance and she ended up in the non-physical permanently.  It states her body had a seizure and she had to finally accept that her body had died.  Maybe frequency of AP'ing isn't important as long as one maintains clear intent to continue with this lifetime.

:doh:   Why didn't I think of that?  

Great point!  

Hello,

Have occasionally lurked these boards for the past year.  Haven't posted because the tone has generally been in agreement with my own AP experiences, so haven't had much to add to the topic.  

Until now...

Am reading "Astral Projection and the Nature of Reality" and on pages 79-81 is an account of "Devon", taken from a book I haven't read called "The Divine Blueprint", who died during an AP.  The explanation given was that because she AP'ed so often, her "cord" wore out, so to speak.  Goes on to state that someone checked her on the other side where she was distraught at not being able to re-enter her physical body.  Magnus cautions against AP'ing more than once a week for this reason.

Now, like most of you, I've read the contemporary authors, Monroe, Moen, etc.  Also, like most of you, I'm of the "nothing to fear, but fear itself" mentality when it comes to AP'ing.  In fact, I've eaten a meat-laden meal then proceeded to AP soon after during a thunderstorm while making a point of floating through power lines--just to prove it can be done without harm.  Until now, I haven't heard of this potential hazard.

Only very occasionally have I AP'ed more than once a week. I generally only AP a couple times a month.  (Hard to make the time to AP more frequently.)

Don't know any more about this specific case, so won't dispute whether or not it happened.  Just seems that there are others who've written about more frequent AP'ing without the dire consequences.

Thoughts on this?  Does anyone here regularly AP more than once a week?

Thanks and...

Nice ta meetcha!   :wave:
