Hi! to All,

I first joined in Nov 2013 but have been "quiescent" for some time.(!Lol)

I am now fully retired, my stress level is right down and I have returned to my alternative (ie real) interests.

Still working from Llewellyn Practical Guide to AP by Denning and Phillips but (I hope) in a better organised and conscientious way.

Will post any interesting experiences.

Very Best Wishes to All

To return to the question of age and AP, I don't see why it should be a problem. After all, what we are looking for is a projection which depends on the Will and that can be as strong as when you were a youth. Also you may well have achieved a certain independence, have more physical space and time to yourself etc., also a wider knowledge of associated subjects, all of which helps.

Let's face it, the older you get, the closer you are to the greatest Astral Projection of all. Trouble is, it's a one way ticket. Lol !!!

I should have explained more of what I meant by "secondary psychic process". It seems as though I have a complete alternative existence, part of which comes to me in dreams just before awakening. A different life with different friends, acquaintances, work, anxieties etc., etc.

Also, during the waking day I sometimes experience the following: I am walking along a dirt road, very dry. It is summer. In front of me walks a young woman. I know somehow that we have children. She is quite good looking. To the left there is a wind mill used to pump water (from an artesian well?). There may also be wooden, clap board type houses. The mood in this experience is always very calm, relaxed and confident which is different from my usual state as I have been quite an anxious person and given to self doubt, although that has receded with greater maturity.

I am 68 and just returning to the subject after many years. It is true that dreaming seems to decrease as you get older but I am aware of a kind of secondary psychic process.

I will post up any experiences/observations.

I am revising a couple of points already:

1) The attempt to make a recording with voice over and music was not successful but I made so many attempts I actually learnt the script (!) so there was some spin off benefit in that sense.

2) Denning and Phillips recommend visualising the Chakras on OUT breaths and visualising the white band of light connecting them on IN breaths. I have a much more comfortable feeling about the opposite, i.e. visualise Chakras on IN breaths, connecting energy on OUT breaths. Imho, this fits in much better with the symbolism of what you are visualising.

I would be glad to hear what other members think about this.

Where is everybody located?

Myself? Mid Somerset, UK

As I mentioned in my post in members' introductions I am using a technique given in "The Llewellyn Practical Guide to Astral Projection" by Melita Denning and Osborne Phillips.

I will not give a very detailed account as the book is available from Amazon but essentially the technique consists of: Formula 1: 1) visualising your body's Chakras 2)"seeing" them connected by a white light 3) "circulating" that light.

When you are adept at this you can then send out a "Watcher"  according to Formula 2, which is as Formula 1 except that you visualise Astral Substance being ejected from your Solar Plexus during it. The Watcher is later recalled and brings back information that you programmed it to glean before you exteriorised it.

Formula 3, which I have yet to try, again starts with Formula 1 but this time involves the exteriorisation of a Simulacrum which is the Astral Body. This formula thus gives true Astral Projection if done successfully.

You are counselled against doing Formula 2 or 3 during the waning of the Moon or when the Moon is without light, also to avoid the "dead" time of the year (21st December to 21st March). You are also strongly counselled against sending out a Watcher in the form of an animal.

So where am I with this? Many years ago I sent out a watcher. The results were not immediate or visual but it was as though my intuition was strengthened towards the programmed goal, almost as though something guided my footsteps. The actual details are deeply personal.

Currently I intend to prepare some CD's to play on a Walkman during meditation to assist in doing the Formulas. More in due course.

Other material that I might incorporate is the Tattva symbols as described by JH Brennan in his "Astral Doorways"

Glad to hear any advice, comments, others experiences or other techniques.

Good Luck to all.

Hi! to all and I am very glad to find this site.

I am working on a meditative system for AP based largely on Denning and Phillips' "Astral Projection". If anyone else is using this system and would like to correspond or share experiences please send me a PM.

I will keep it brief for the moment but I wish the very best of luck to everyone and safe and fulfilling Astral Projection/Travel.

Fulcaneli.
