On and off in my life when I am resting, but fully conscious, I know something astral (I think) is about to happen because inside my ears I begin to feel a vacume, sucking inward, pulling inward sound (similar to the feeling you get when you have water in your ear), and if I don't resist it my consciousness is pulled within, and outside sounds then disappear, or else become very faint.

Then when I am within it always becomes an effort trying to come out of my body, and when I succeed coming out of my body it is not like I see my body, and I don't see my surroundings. Instead all is dark and I find myself peeling through layers and layers of something. Sometimes I come upon a hard surface and with difficulty I manage to push myself through it only to find more darkness and layers and layers of stuff I am peeling through hoping something nice is on the otherside. One time I even found myself in a underground, hard, rocky earth cavity, and it was too hard to penetrate...but I thought myself out of it as soon as i asked jesus to help me. It was hard to discern which way was up, down, left, or right.

Other times after peeling through all the layers I found myself outside in sunshine and unfamilar surroundings, and am able to fly etc., and go through meadows and have a nice astral experience, but always in surroundings I am not familar with.

Then suddenly I am back in my body, and open my eyes and see I am in my room laying down. But then the vacume, sucking in feeling in my ears is still there, and I try to allow it to pull me within. This time I stay within my body and with my eyes shut I sometimes see colors, and starrt to hear different sounds and it sometimes sounds like a radio going through different stations. I have even heard familar pop music, or rock songs in my head even though I never listen to music most of the time. Just today I heard a variety of sounds one of which was a piano.

Anyway are these normal experiences when meditating or on the verge of astral projection?

Such experiences have been with me on and off all my life even when I was not knowledgable about meditation, astral projection and so on. They seem to increase if I have a healthier, less heavy diet.

Any advice will be great.

Thanks in advance.

Has anyone read "The Science Of Spirituality" by Lee Bladon? In it he mentions that our etheric body (different than our astral body)  is like a template for our physical body that absorbs pranic energy. He mentioned that those little specks of light that you see (the specks are no bigger than a pin head) flying around on a sunny day when you look up at the sky (not near the sun) while remaining unfocused, are prana molecules. I alway wondered what that was. Most people think it is just an optical illusion. But according to Lee is it prana. Strange thing is when you try to focus on the specks of light they disappear, but if you just keep your eyes still and stare blankly at the sky on a sunny day you see the little specks of white/bluish light shooting all over the place. Do you really think it is prana?
