I have just done this myself. I got kryptonite (a green one that I call yoda), black obsidian (i call ergo) and clear quartz (named iona). Iona has a rainbow in it. they all talk to me. fantastic how they learn and grow in realization just like a human being.

definitely get clear quartz. I used to find that by leaving a clear quartz crystal behind my head my dreaming was a lot more vivid.

aside from clear quartz, what you get should be in sync with what you're doing emotionally. so like for me black obsidian is to repel negativity. different sort of thing to say tiger eye which instills confidence. again, it's the emotions not just the spiritual intent you want to consider.

i would really love to get a big rock of amythest, that's supposed to be really good for conscious purity...

I went and got a Clear Quartz pendent and small Amethyst to put in my pillow, so I guess I made good choices.

I've been thinking this for a long time, I figured I'd start by learning to lucid dream first to do this.
Basically I've been thinking, I started training martial arts late, so I need to work 10x as hard as everyone else so I can catch up and surpass them. Problem is, there isn't enough time in the day to do this. I figured, maybe I can replicate what I learned in class, inside a lucid dream, it wont be perfect, but I can practice my technique and sharpen my skills in my dreams, combining dream work with real life work, to give me an edge over everyone else.
I wanted to do this not for martial arts, but for school, job related work, etc. I can practice what I learned, in my dreams, just get some repetitions in, so it stays in my head and I get better.

This was my idea and my main reason for wanting to learn Lucid dreaming/AP/OOBE's.

Is this achievable, has anyone done this? Is there any documented cases of this being done? This seems like it could change humans in such an amazing way if we learned to do this, is this a realistic goal?
I am trying to learn to lucid dream and to do this.

What do you think? Is this achievable?

[What crystals would be best for me and could likely help aid me in making 2017 the best year of my life and help me in helping my family?]

I want to get 1 or 2 crystals, at most possibly 3, but I don't know what I should get.

First, my main goal is to achieve easier Lucid dreaming/OOBE's so I can eventually get good at it and do it at will, I mainly want to learn this skill to help improve myself, so while I lucid dream I want to face any fears I may have and train in the sports I practice, so it can carry over from the dream to real life. Same for anything educationally related.

Second, this has been the worst year of my life, I'm no longer in school due to financial aid issues, family members getting sick, I have to spend time taking care of them, plus I have to support my parents and pay the bills now, and I had to stop my sports practice, I planned for this to be my best year in sports activity, but it didn't work out. Also now I am having so much issues money-wise.


My main concern is using Lucid dreams/Astral/OOBE's to improve my waking life and gain an edge over my competition and everyone else.

What crystals would be best for me and could likely help aid me in making 2017 the best year of my life and help me in helping my family?

I want one crystal to be used as a pendant, that I will wear for pretty much the rest of my life, this crystal needs to be one that will help me achieve what I stated above.

[I'll just call it a dream, so this makes as much sense as possible.]

I'm not sure if this was an OBE or Dream, but last night I had this experience, its still fuzzy in my mind.
I am not sure if this has been happening for a while, or it all happened last night, but I will explain best I can.

I am not sure if it was an OBE or Dream, it seemed like it may have been an OBE happening that transitioned into a Dream

I'll just call it a dream, so this makes as much sense as possible.


Last night I had this dream where I was about to astral project/OBE. In this dream I was separating from my body, and I guess I was in sleep paralysis, it sure felt like it. I began hearing the noises, voices, and seeing things even though I am sure my eyes were closed. Now note, this is nothing new, I've experienced these things loads of times in the past. The only thing is, I started to become scared and panicking. So I woke up.

I think that part was a dream, because I was sleeping on a different part of the bed, where I wasn't originally at.
Now I think this is where the OBE began, I started having sleep paralysis and started getting all the effects. Seeing through eyelids, noises, voices, images. This time I was in the correct spot in my bed. I started to panic again, and I began screaming, but since its sleep paralysis I couldn't move my mouth, so I was...screaming sort of, with my mouth closed.

I eventually wake up (In the dream), then start to look around and go back to sleep, after that I remember nothing.


This has always been an issue for me, and I think this is why I haven't been able to project for 6+ years.

The best way I can explain it is:

When I'm fully awake, I am brave and not afraid, when I am conscious enough I won't be scared
But when I  am sleeping, my subconscious seems to take over and it seems I am subconsciously very afraid.


I don't know really, but it seems like this dream was trying to tell me and show me why I wasn't able to project for so long. It makes sense. I've experienced sleep paralysis and gotten so close to astral projecting MANY MANY MANY times, but each time I would get too excited or too afraid.
I know right now, as I type this, I am not afraid at all of even the thought of projecting, but when it happens... you know...

Please, tell me how I can fix this problem? How can I control my emotions when I am barley even conscious... or not conscious at all....

Excellent post Szaxx! 

I do this often myself. All Rocks harness energy. As Xanth has already said, your intent is the most important here. I use Crystals and unique stones of all kinds myself. Some quite large. I have Crystals in my Pyramids and my Egyptian Healing Rods as well.

But, I would never get into the mindset that you had to "program" a single intent into it. They are just "tools" of a sort to me.

I would never buy a Stone online, simply because I haven't felt it's vibration myself yet. You will always find a good stone to work with by sensing with your hands. Just close your eyes when you pick one up and feel what you feel, see what you see! 

Many years ago I was in Merlin's Castle in Salem, Massachusetts. I was walking around the store when a gentleman with long hair started to follow me. I thought this was strange. He then walked up and gave me a string necklace with a unique stone on it. He said to wear this every day of my life and hold it dear. I asked him how much I owe him for it, he said nothing. He said it is a gift and that because of it being gift, it empowered it even more.

I have worn that every day since. It is a stone with 2 separate Rubies inside of it that become visible by a simple droplet of water.

Wow you're so lucky, I wish that happened to me. I would love to get a gift like that

Well I fixed it back.

*I posted this in another section but figured it'd be better fit in this one*

I've always been fascinated with crystals, lately I've been researching them to see how they would help me with Astral Projection, and life in general. But I am not sure which crystal is for me.
What I want to do is to just get 1 really good and beautiful crystal and make it into a pendant to carry around with me all the time.

I have a couple questions.

1: I heard you can only program ONE intent to a crystal, are there any crystals out there that can handle more than one intent?

2: Can you change a crystals intent? Like at night, it can help me Astral Project, but at day it can just protect me or help me keep my mind at a higher awareness?

3: If I buy a crystal and have it cut, so it looks nice and is changed to a nice shape, will that affect it in any way? I just don't want to keep it messy looking and I want to make it look better so I can put it as a pendant to keep with me.

4: I can't choose between Amethyst, Quartz, and Ametrine
Honestly, Ametrine looks incredible. But I am not sure which is best for my purposes and which would be strongest.




Note: I just plan on making them into a pendant that looks almost exactly like this one: https://www.healingcrystals.com/images/amethyst_pendant.jpg

^Is that sized crystal good enough? Or does it have to be bigger to have an effect on me/do anything?

[Note: I NEVER MET THIS GUY IN MY LIFE!]

So I just had a crazy experience, I don't know what happened, well I do. But I need someone to go through this with me, I'll tell you what just happened in as best detail as I can.
So I just woke up, basically I had this dream of a guy who told me EXACTLY WHAT TO DO, and I did it subconsciously and consciously, kind of a bit of both since I was still barley awake.
Note: I NEVER MET THIS GUY IN MY LIFE!

Here are my notes, the stuff I wrote down RIGHT AFTER THIS HAPPENED, I did that so I could remember every detail possible and not forget them. Everything that happened, in as BEST detail as I could remember, is in those notes!

My notes for the experience:

Man in the dream said:
Be one, with everyone, he said, be one with the air, the wall you were laying on, the bed, fuse your legs together, be just ONE with EVERYONE.

Let your energy combine with everything, let yourself combine with the air, the wall, the bed, everything


Astral Experience Description:
Lots of static
Lots of dark electric static shocks, like you see in a broken or not working tv
Like a broken static TV screen
It said "top 5 most excited", it was telling me I was really excited, that is why I failed my astral attempt
I almost had it successfully, it happened twice in 2 minutes
each time it almost happened, the ringing in my ears grew louder for 2 seconds and stopped, it was amazing

It happened right when I woke up, I had the dream and the guy in my dream told me exactly what to do, right now, at

that moment. I didn't move because I was dreaming, and right when I woke up I did what he said, its like he was

training me so I followed exactly what he said AND IT WORKED. I wanna cry right now because I am so happy. But I

am gonna man up and figure out how to do this again.


OKAY! THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED RIGHT BEFORE THE ALMOST-ASTRAL PROJECTION EXPERIENCE
I usually set my alarm to go off 3 different times because I cannot wake up after just 1 alarm, I go back to sleep...

1: Alarm went off:
7:08AM, I click it off. Back to sleep
7:16AM, I click it off, Back to sleep, RIGHT BEFORE I went to sleep, Astral Projection popped in my head and I thought about the alarm method, and how I was doing it right now.

2: Dream happens:
Guy in dream tells me what to do, I awake from dream a little, and I do it, I didn't even think about doing it, I just did

it, it was almost half subconciously and half conciously, I didn't have much thought on doing it but did it.

3: I do what he says

4: Experience happens like I described above.

Note: I mainly failed because yesterday I told my mom to wake me up if I was still sleeping, so... she woke me up today, just now...during the experience....lol

Have you tried sleeping for a few hours first then trying to ap?  When your body has rested for a while it is a lot easier to ap.  Also you do not have the distractions and you can take your time.  
Lying on your back is not working for you.  What about lying in a more comfortable position instead of lying on your back.   The problem with that is you have a high chance of falling asleep.  I lie on my side on a very thin mattress.  It is not comfortable so I am less likely to fall asleep.  I ap most mornings when I make an effort.  

I've tried loads of times to AP upon awaking from a good few hours/night of sleep.

Ok.

There may be a remedy... and it's got people out of a stuck rut in the past... but you have to do EXACTLY what I say... no personalising... no excuses... no questions or over-thinking it... no just giving it a go a few times and moving on to something else.

Okay sure, I'm up for it
Honestly I've stuck with multiple methods for months, without success.. I'll give yours a try..

[5-6 YEARS]

I'll keep this short, I am a veteran at ATTEMPTING this stuff
I quit 1 year ago, I won't get into why, I just got annoyed.

Whenever I attempt to AP I usually set myself up, relax my body, and well... Lets just say I end up laying flat on my back for hours, waiting for something to happen, but nothing ever happens.
I eventually give up, roll over, and go to sleep.

I tried so many methods over the 5-6 YEARS I've attempted this, and well, as you can see, nothing works.

/discuss


I even tried not thinking about it, just daydreaming, nothing ever happens, I just daydream for hours..
Perhaps laying flat on my back is the problem? I don't understand why I can never do this.

That is a problem? -_-
Here are a billion other people wishing they were in your shoes.

You can experience it in a few ways... but there is one very effective way that I have honed over three decades... and not for myself; that's something I now do by suggestion.

So there are many time periods that SP can be experienced... before sleep... waking up from slow wave sleep... and in the morning after a nights sleep. There are many inbetweeny times that I am sure many members will describe but for starters try to stick to one method at a time.

Before sleep...

Here is my method I used to give to learners... I have tweaked it but this is actually the original.

http://www.astralpulse.com/forums/welcome_to_astral_consciousness/inducing_sleep_paralysis-t40576.0.html

Damn, its gone...

I've tried a wide variety of methods at least a few times.
At the least maybe 2 or 3 times for a lot of methods.

This is just complete bovine excrement now.
I've been trying for a good few years now, more than 2, more than 3. Its ridiculous. This is pointless and a waste of my time now i'm done.

Its been on and off of me quitting Astral Projection due to frustration of failed attempts.
I recently started again a few weeks ago, and I am done now, still no freaking success. This is crap.

How can someone be at this for years and not have 1 fking successful attempt? What kind of excrement is this?
I seriously had no doubt in my mind about this, but I've had enough now.

I'd usually end up laying in my bed or outside in the couch for hours until my body just gets ticked off and then I get ticked off and quit.
I started trying to Indirect method, by waking up in the morning and trying it.
I tried it and keep falling asleep, then I wake up and try again, until I don't fall asleep, then once I stop falling asleep I end up trying methods until my body just gets so mad and quits.

Relaxation is one thing, but I just hit a point where I get so relaxed I get ticked the fk off and quit, because i'm sitting there for hours.


I'd try so hard and so much that I'd find myself getting out of bed in the afternoon like 5PM or so.
Seriously i don't understand how I can try for years and have no fking results, NOT 1 SUCCESSFUL SEPARATION.


You can clearly see why I am so ticked off. Screw this crap, its complete bovine excrement and pointless to me now.
I had so many plans for when I finally separated but not once did I separate in my life consciously.

So recently I been having a problem when trying to astral project, whenever I relax and try to focus on my breathing, my mind just randomly takes off and without me noticing it, my mind goes and thinks of something else, some random stuff, may it be my something about my life or anything else.

I notice my mind has wandered away from my focus eventually and I bring it back to focusing on breathing, but it just repeats, its like a cycle of wandering and focusing.

Then eventually I end up falling asleep...
I even tried to do it when I wake up in the morning, but I just end up falling back asleep after it wanders, or just fall asleep before it even wanders...


How do I fix these problems?

Does anyone have a tutorial or link or can teach me the correct way to meditate for Astral Projection?
I want to learn a meditation that will greatly help increase my chances of Astral projecting consciously.

Hi,
As long as you can remember the feelings you have 2 options.
1, Wake up slightly earlier and try a direct method after getting out of bed for at least 2 mins. Im assuming you know how.
2, Place an anchor in your mind knowingly so it will appear in a dream. When it does partly wake up out of the dream so it starts to get fuzzy then apply an exit routine youve used before that fits the dream. This starts a WILD and after deepening your awareness level should get very similar to that of the physical.
It will be easier to do 1,
2, on the other hand takes longer but is more reliable for success.
Its not worth an attempt before sleep, doing this will likely fail and reduce the urge to awaken your awareness in the morning.

I don't know a direct method, mind linking me or sharing some?

When I am trying to relax in the bed after a good while of no success my eyes end up trying to open themselves, I end up struggling to keep them closed, because if they open, everything is failed and I need to start over...

Why does this happen? How can I stop it?

Have you started with first taking a nap?

I do that almost every day now, but on most occasions I get lazy to do that.
I do the wrong thing and try before I go to bed.
Then when I wake up I try it and end up falling back asleep >_<

Are you in bed while you are doing this? If yes, than move to another room. I sit back in my lazy boy recliner when I Phase. We train ourselves all our lives that the bed is for sleeping. If you are already in another room practicing, then you just need to use your willpower to stay awake. How badly do you want to project?

Way too badly
I guess i'll use as much willpower as I can.

How do I stop this? Everytime I try them I fall asleep..
I want to try to practice Astral projecting at least 3-5 times a day until I start getting successful results, but I keep falling asleep...

Sorry for the late reply, I just had to replace my computer, the old one died on me.  I have found more success with these 2 back to back MP3 tracks then anything else I have tried. The first one is called Alpha-Level-5, it is a Binaural Beat and can be downloaded free at this site. http://binaural-beats.org/index.php. The second played back to back is named Astral Vibrations, it is a Isochronic Tone found in DJ Vishnu's Meditation Series. For some reason these 2 Tracks play great together and have yielded me with plenty of successful Phase Sessions.
Good Luck and Safe Travels! 

You played them both at the same time? O.O
Or did you do Alpha Level 5 first, finish that, then go to Astral Vibrations?

Yes you can talk to people that have passed on. They show themselves to you when you are ready for them or when they have something important to pass on to you. There are many reports of this to be found. The thing you need to know here is that these are "personal" experiences. So most people keep them that way. What means something profound to me in my life, may not mean anything at all to another person at all. This is why you don't find people boasting about their experiences.
Tom Campbell is still alive!  

You said they come to you. Can you not go to them? Idk how i'd find them but yeah..
What I mean is, can we not meet them whenever we want in the Astral? Like call out to them or visualize them in the Astral and we communicate like that, idk if you'll get what I mean by that.


My main goal would be to find famous people who passed on and learn things from them, that would be very useful. They could pass their knowledge onto you. For example, talk to a scientist or someone who passed on, let them teach you a bit, and you can end up finding the next big cure to something that way.

get what I mean? We can benefit greatly from people who passed on by learning things from them and bring that knowledge to this world.

Another example: Learn from a fighter who has passed on, you can be the next big time fighter.
