I listen to New Age music every night. I started having OBE's when I started listening to it (or at least remembering the OBE's) so I just continue to do so. I have had experiences without it, but I find it relaxes me it's just a nice way to go to sleep. I keep it on the entire night- I usually listen to skyfm new age or accuradio textures new age.

I have communicated with several deceased family members while OBE. I can only hear them, not see them. I usually reach them by just calling out their name and concentrating on them. If they are able to respond, they do. I've only had success if they just passed- if it's been too long, like years, they've probably reincarnated or are in a place I can't reach.

"If i could meet god i would ask him why did he make ugly women and stupid people because it just don't seem fair."

That line just says it all about what kind of person posted this.

I've seen mine, but not on purpose. Seeing the cord freaks me out for some reason. My cord was pretty large, but I don't know where it was connected to my spirit/physical bodies. I just saw it there to my side.

Yes! When I was going to the Akashic records a lot, I could hardly wait to get home from work and go to bed so I could OBE and find out what was going on there! It's weird going about our day as normal, knowing this whole other "world" is out there happening at the same time. I experience so much astral traveling, that I'm disappointed when I don't have an OBE for a week.

Thank you Grey!!

I've been having OBE's for several years now and have traveled to many planes, the Akashic records, and other places of learning. The other night I was having an OBE and I concentrated on going to a higher plane. That's all I specified, other than I wanted to go to the Buddhic plane. I flew upwards in blackness, but I was travelling at a great speed. I "landed" at a plane that was basically deserted. It was all black and white, but not like a black and white movie, or gray. It was black and white. There was a black cat there, which was strange, but I think he may have been a guide (I love cats). I was talking to it, although I don't remember what we said. I have been to a similar place in the past-deserted (no other beings there), but on some higher plane. Any thoughts?

I'm absolutely not involved in any thing like that- I think I probably keep my mind too open- I invite all experiences and that lets the dark entities in. I haven't had a problem again since this post.

I"m sorry you had to go through that. I've been through several similar experiences and it can really scare you. Even when you think you're doing a "good" thing by keeping an open mind or inviting new experiences, sometimes the bad stuff gets through too. I saw two dark entities at the bottom of my bed last week as I exited. Red eyes and everything. To counter this, the next day I cast a circle in the area where they appeared-just trying to put positive energy there. I also burned sage. I know this is supposed to banish spirits but I'm pretty sure I don't have ghosts lurking in my apartment anyways. Since then, I haven't had a similar episode.
As far as the visiting projectors looking for astral sex-- I've been visited by them too. I have a spirit guide who was my husband (or felt like he was a husband) in a previous life. He visits me often and is a great source of information to me. But he also goes to other places and helps other people. I don't know this ahead of time, of course, so when I go OBE and call for him to visit, sometimes other projectors take the invitation to come visit and try to pretend they are him. Once I discover they are not, I tell them they are not welcome and to leave. But they definitely try. I don't know if there's anyway around this, but I try to catch it ahead of time.

I spent my first year OBE'ing just figuring out how to get out of the room, then flying around the city. It takes time to progress, but it's a fun and educational process. Definitely have a mission in mind before you go out like others suggested- it makes it easier to focus once you make it out. My first destination in the upper astral planes was the Akashic Records. I spent more than a year there meeting my guides, taking steps, asking questions, and progressing when they felt I was ready. It was frustrating to go back to body when I finally got to a new progression point, but it gave me something to look forward to. I got some information about planes from the site that led me to this message board: http://www.astralvoyage.com/projection/index.html.

Hope that helps.

Thank you for that link and information. I haven't tried that reaction before (hard when you're scared of what's in front of you) but it's something I will definitely work on. Thank you!

I had an experience last night that was kind of scary. I've encountered many dark entitites in the astral, some I've imagined and they appeared, others mainly demons or other negs that I've recognized. I've always been determined not to let the negs ruin my astral experiences so I try to forget them and stay positive, only inviting positive energy into my experiences. However, last night, I was a bit alarmed about what I saw in my room.
I had a fantastic exit- I literally laid down and closed my eyes and I was opening my "third eye" and bounding upwards in an OBE. I was thrilled to have such an easy exit- but then I spotted them. 2 dark entities at the bottom of my bed. They had red eyes, and were wearing black cloaks- with hoods. They didn't say anything but understood what I was saying to them. It was like they were coaxing me, trying to get me to venture out and risk what they'd do. While I know nothing bad is supposed to happen to us in the astral, I do get worried about something happening to my spirit if I encounter a real demon.
Anyways, they didn't go away. They did not react to my religious comments towards them to scare them off, nor did they seem to care that I was forcefully trying to remove them with my words. I ended up just going back to body and not exiting again.
I've never experienced this kind of entity before and I was curious as to what you all thought it could be. I've been reading a lot about fairies and because of my interest, wondered if it could've been a dark fairy? I didn't see any signs this could've been something like that, but it crossed my mind. Has anyone had any experiences with them? Or any other thoughts on this entity?

Think the movie "Ghost" when Sam had to unlearn what he believed he could and couldn't touch. The same things apply to the astral planes. Sometimes (even now, after years of projecting) I still can't get through the ceiling and I fly through the window instead. I can always fly outside, but I do a "car route" which is I follow roads and landmarks. Not all the time, but it's what we know so its' what I do sometimes. It takes effort to remember in that state, but when you let the rules go that's when you can really experience things.

Many Native Americans believe spirit guides are animals. The animal totems can vary based on events going on in your life- they are making you aware of a situation they represent at that stage in your life. You can find out more about their meanings in an online search, but one site I found had this listed for dogs: "Dog: Noble, faithful, loyal, teaching, protection, and guidance."
I have a book called Animal Speak that goes much more in depth about animal spirit totems. It's worth checking out if you believe the dog was significant.

I frequently encounter my spirit guides. At first, they were just "shapes" around me, but I quickly realized who they were and began to ask to see them and meet them. Now I ask to see them and we meet- I ask them questions and we discuss them. There is only one that I specifically remember and talk to regularly- he told me he was a 16th century painter and my husband in a past life. He visits me and I usually ask him my questions. I see others around me too, and I greet them and "meet" them, but they are all familiar to me in a past life in some way. I'm thankful for these experiences- they teach me a lot about myself and the world. If you want to meet yours, I suggest just asking to see them when you're having an OBE. It may take some time to see them and meet them, but if you keep asking and progressing, you should be able to see them. I've never seen any kind of mystical creature like a unicorn in my astral travels. But I haven't asked to see any either.

I have regular experiences with my spirit guides. At first (when I first started projecting, 3 years ago) they were just present in my room. Then I started to meet them, and ask for them. Now, when I ask for them, they take me to a field, where I recognize them and hug them. Sometimes I go there (to the field) then there is a big popping sound and a flash of light. I don't know what that means, but I'm sure they are guiding me along my journey through the astral. I've talked to them a few times, asking why I can't go to certain areas and why I can go to others. One of them is a husband from a past life, and we've discussed this fact several times. He's the first one I ask for when I ask to see my spirit guides. My sister is always trying to project-and is curious about her spirit guides. I encourage her to start slow, ask to see them, get to know them.

Yes that's how I do it all the time. It's easier for me that way-if my eyes are closed I'm more inclined to fall asleep instead of astral projecting.

When I first started 3 years ago I had no idea what I was doing, but soon realized I was having an OBE and slowly started experimenting. At first I went to places I knew, traveled the roads I knew around the city. Eventually I started drastically changing my travels, exiting backwards (I know, it's strange) and going to the Akashic Records. I believe I have also gone to at least 1 more plane higher as well. I have had the discussion of "what now" with the guides at the Akashic, and my last visit there, the guide was surprised I wasn't doing more with it in my physical life. Also, my sister went to a psychic and ended up talking about me a lot of the time. The psychic said I needed to stop "Playing around" with astral travel and the guides are waiting for me to decide what path to take with it. She said I had healing abilities (I was a Greek healer in a past life) as well as the ability to predict the future. She said I had to choose which path I wanted to take. I thought I chose the predict the future route but I don't really see any changes so far, other than I haven't been able to get back to the Akashic since then. I believe they block me from there when they want me to explore other places-how can I grow if I keep visiting the same place? Personally, I just want to become more spiritually aware. I want my astral travels to help me better understand our world and the worlds we can astrally visit, and make me a better person. Also it's a lot of fun and I love it

I've had two new experiences in the Akashic records. Before, as I wrote about in my previous posts, I would go to a main lobby area where people were checking in and out at a desk.  At one point I received the "key" and was going down an elevator to go to my records, but then I faded back to body. After that, I didn't have an astral experience for weeks. I had two astral experiences last week that got me back into things, which I won't get too involved about here. But long story short, my sister went to a psychic and they ended up talking about me. The psychic told her I've played around with astral travel long enough and it's time to make a decision about what I want to do with it (which is freaky, because I was just thinking the day before that I can go to these places but what am I supposed to DO next??). She said I have healing powers from a past life, where I was a healer in a greek temple (I've visited the greek place astrally which was weird for her to mention) and I have the power to see the future. she said I have to decide which path to take. So soon after this I had an OBE and I ended up back at the Akashic, but no more lobby for me. I went straight to my record- the hall has neon colors everywhere-red, blue, green. My record was in this jukebox looking device- the first time I saw this I didn't read anything. The next night, I went back again and I went to a computer terminal type facility with my record on it. I "printed" it out, and flew over to a different lobby area. I told them I had made my decision, that I want to see the future. We looked at my record together- which brings me to why I'm posting here- I couldn't read what it was about. It had words and phrases, but none of it made any kind of sense to me. I know the guide was explaining stuff but I don't remember what he said. I was just trying to hold my OBE that long because I didn't want to fade back to body (which I did 2x). Anyways, I did ask if I happened to write myself a man into my record to marry someday (ha!) but the guide kind of indicated that I had chosen a spirtual route. The psychic told my sister that if I chose that route, it would be a public life, and I would do something public with it, like write a book or something. So the guide then took me up to a room where other astrals were sleeping, resting. I also laid down to sleep. That was 3 nights ago- I haven't had anything happen since but I"m going to try tonight. I really would like to understand my record better. I would also like to further develop my psychic skills as the psychic indicated I could. I had a visit with a guide? type person the other night-before the psychic visit. She told me I had the "power to go much higher." Let's hope so!

I'm so frustrated with myself, but happy with my progress so far in the Akashic Records. After one memorable experience there recently, I've had no success getting back to the records on several attempts. On Saturday I rearranged my room and placed my bed in a different position. That night, I had a very scary experience with a demon (devil) trying to trick me- long story that's not really relevant here. Last night, Sunday night, I decided to put that behind me and try again. I flew out almost immediately as I put my head down, and I could tell all around it was going to be a positive experience. Right away I said I wanted to go to the Akashic and so I zoomed out backwards as usual, but this time I saw a Roman like scene under me. And there were people there too- which was never in my other other location of the pyramid. There were lights on in the pyramid, but I never saw anyone there other than at the Records. Here, there were roman like statues and people from balconies- one woman was throwing flowers off a balcony and I caught some in my hand. I looked up and saw the location of the records= on top of a building. I thought this scene was significant because when my bed was facing one way, I saw what looked like a myan pyrmamid. When I flew out in a different direction, I see a roman scene. Two major empires... I wonder if there is something more there?? Anyways, I went to the reception area as usual and it was very busy. I remembered to look around more to take in the scene. It was mostly women there, and they were coming out of doorways next to and near the reception desk. I had to wait in line for my turn, and as I said to the desk person that I was trying hard to stay focused and experience things there, I faded. I told her as I was going back that I would try again- and as soon as I went back to body I flew out again and tried to go there. Again, the roman scene, and I flew through buildings to arrive at the records location. this time, I waited in line again, and got very clear and focused at the desk. the desk person (who told me her name was Janet) did not give me a key this time (last time, she gave me a key to a movie like area, but I don't remember what the movie was about) told me to go to the elevator when it beeps and it will take me where I need to go. It dinged, and it was seriously like an airplane lavatory. I think I made the connection because she told me to go to a vacant one, and when it said vacant on the door, I went in. Inside wasn't airplane restroom though-it was an elevator with a mirror in it. I looked at myself in the mirror and saw myself there. I was very clear, no aura that I saw, but maybe because there were strong lights around the mirror. My hair was blonder. I was by myself in the elevator, looking in the mirror, thinking "I'm so lucky to be here. I'm going to see what comes next!!" and just then, I faded back to body. I could feel the elevator stopping as I faded back. I could tell from my body that I wasn't going to be able to lift out again. I was SO frustrated but excited for the next time. Anyone else have a similar experience? I'm very interested in what other people have to say about this place. Thanks!

So after several nights with no OBE's (I think I've been too tired) last night I lay down and within seconds I was sitting up in the astral and flying around. I flew in the sky for a bit, even think I saw a plane or something flying near me, which was strange. I decided to try and go to the Akashic records again so I did, and was successful getting there! There were two women behind the "counter" there and one came around the side of the "desk" to talk to me- I asked her if this was the Akashic records and she said yes! I got very excited, and I asked her her name-it started with a D but it was hard to pronounce and I had to say it a few times with her to get it. I don't remember the pronunciation now unfortunately I was the only astral there. I was wondering then what I was to do after that- should I ask to go see my record? Or is there a process to get there? But I started getting visits from unwelcome astrals-not in the Akashic tho, I ended up somewhere else and was getting bothered by these negative entities- I don't know if it was my own imagination creating them but I suspected it was so I kept saying that they were not welcome and I am just creating them myself.  I don't like that they ruined my experience but I think I had opened myself up so much to get to the Akashic and try to experience it that I also opened myself up to the negatives. I need to work on blocking them out if I can. Anyways, just wanted to update the Akashic visit-I'll post more if there's any progress there!

I'm new here too! I'll tell you what I tell my sister, who really wants to have an OBE but cant make it happen yet (she's scared but there's no reason to be). I turn on new age music on my computer to help me relax at night. Keep you eyes open and just breathe evenly- don't think about anything about the day-just focus on creating a pulsing in the center of your forehead. This is my signal that I'm going to have an OBE. When I first started having OBE's, I always had my eyes open- now I can do it with them closed, but open can help you determine when you're switching over to the astral. When you're putting yourself in this "trance," think about ripping, or sitting up from your body. You may do this physically a few times, but when you're ready to astrally sit up, it'll happen. Try moving your "astral limbs" around-move your arms and legs-they look white to me with my blue aura around them. When I first started having OBE"s, I'd stick to my room. I'd fly around my room, look in the mirror etc. Then after a while I flew out the ceiling or the windows and ventured outside. I fly (still do) like I'm driving- I stick to roads and near the tree tops- but you can evolve from there and think about a place and appear. For now tho, just concentrate on that pulsing feeling in the center of your forehead, and creating that sitting up/separating feeling. It'll happen!

This is very helpful to me-the akashic must be where I've been going, but I didn't have a name for it, so I was calling it the crossroads. I have a previous post about this which no one responded to, so this helps. I also keep asking the "spirit guides" there about a certain person in my life who I want to be the one, but I clearly know he is not. I keep wanting them to tell me a different answer and they've said to my face "HE IS NOT!" and now they just roll their eyes when I ask. I don't even bring him up anymore, I know what they say about him and I've finally started accepting it in my life. Also I've noticed, when I have big questions I want to ask them (about the universe, for example) I can't get to the akashic. It's like they want me to start simple and work my way to those questions. I've asked them other things in the past, and the last time they took me in a room with some other astrals (I dont remember what we learned there tho), so I should accept that for now. It's my favorite place to go- I dont' even try to fly around in a regular OBE anymore- I just want to fly right to the akashic!

I also see "demons" because that's what I fear the most about seeing when I have obe's. Now, I say outloud "Only postive energy, only positive energy" and it helps- I don't see them anymore in the astral world. However, they do visit me in dreams still and try to prey on my fears. I always end up looking at them straight in the eye and tell them them they aren't going to get anywhere with me so stop trying! They just disappear. Then I realize how weak they really are and that I"m the one with the power over them.

If you care telling me what exactly is the music you hear, please email me (its in my profile).

I just listen to a free New Age station on the web-it streams all night. At first it was weird falling asleep to music but now I can't sleep well without it. I don't know what impact it may have other than it's just a good relaxer.

Last night I had an OBE when I wasn't even planning on it. I thought I was too tired, but then I found myself zooming out backwards again and heading towards the Crossroads. I did make it there again (finally, I was having difficulty the past few times). I spent a significant amount of time there and I mentioned to the "spirit guides" or whoever is at the desk at the location that I wanted to try and stay longer and not lose the connection. I'm going to try and go there again tonight!
