Hello amazing people I consistently read these forums even if I don't post as I have been trying to astral project for a while now with no real success. I have had amazing experiences during meditation though that really can't be explained.  For a while now, once I have gotten into a deep meditative state and started to notice all of the stuff happening my hands always felt like they were raising up. For a long time I assumed it was just something I was literally physically doing somehow subconsciously and oddly thought not too much of it. Yesterday again this happened, I was envisioning hugging the universe and my hand (always my right hand first) had that feeling again where it was raised up like all my fingers felt like they were in the air. This time for some reason I decided to end meditation when I opened my eyes abruptly I could clearly see my hands were flat as can be and for a second longer it felt like it was raised from the flat surface. Could I have been feeling my astral hands this entire time? If so do I just need to keep doing what I'm doing for a longer period of time? Any suggestions or advice would be awesome. Thanks in advance.

I have been attempting every day with not much progress at this point. Just a lot of the same. Yesterday something was different about my attempt however. I felt like my mind was clouded completely right from the beginning and I COULDN'T really control my thoughts and my hands were going numb pretty much within a minute. This happens to me usually 30 minutes in or so never so fast. Any idea on why it happened so fast and why I couldn't really control my thoughts? It's like I had to make so much effort to rein in my thoughts. It was so clouded. Should I have just let it ride out? I got nervous because I was trying to think one thing but it's like my mind wouldn't let me.

What is your response to those who say its a "hallucination of the mind" ? That none of it is really happening?  

Did anyone see beyond belief the other night on nightline? Thoughts? I feel that show portrayed many of those individuals in such a negative light by trying to make it some sort of game. To have a palm reader not physically hold the hand of the person and expect them to get it right based on a bio on a paper and a picture of a palm.

The other night I was attempting to project and even though I didn't fully project I will still say it was a successful attempt for me because I was feeling new things and seeing new things and I feel like I am learning so there is no failure here.  This attempt lasted about 50 minutes and I was listening to some tones.  After this attempt however I felt like I had blurry/ non focused vision for hours like it was hard for me to focus at certain times and I also felt extremely light. You know that feeling if you have lifted some weights or practice swinging with 2 bats and then you stop how quick and light you feel? It felt like that mixed in with being slightly weak. Is this normal? Why would I have blurry-ish vision?   Thanks as always in advance for all responses

When the "vibrations" come my eyes usually start to twitch pretty wild causing me to open my eyes. I have read some people use eye pillows.  Will the eye pillow prevent me from being able to use my "third eye" I have successfully only for a second  saw my room while my eyes were technically closed. Will this still work if I have something over my eyes? Thanks in advance for any and all replies

Hello again I just have a few more questions..

When you hit the vibrational state how long does it last?

Does anyone else experience their eyes twitching and are they any techniques that you use to make that stop? Yesterday I am convinced I got my "third eye" open but my eyes were twitching non stop eventually causing me to open them.

any insight will be great

Not sure where to put this post does anyone have any idea why every single time I try to upload an avatar or a picture of me it says that my file isnt writeable?

Hello I haven't projected yet but found myself 2 nights ago in my most relaxed state my hands and fingers were heavy and numb at the tips not sure if that will lead later to vibrations?! Anyways I have been reading alot of yall's stories and I noticed that some of you may see passed on relatives during astral has anyone seen dead pets or had communication with them? Or if you OBE in your house do your pets pick up on it? 
Everyday I read on here I think of more and more questions. This is truly intriguing stuff. Thanks in advance for answers! 

Hello, I found these boards searching the other day on google for astral projection and I have been on this site like every free chance I could reading the stories of others. I have always been very into and interested in paranormal anything including obe's and now astral projection. Usually I don't have many people to talk to about these kinds of things because so many people I know are closed off to this type of thing and think its "bad". I clearly don't agree. I am so blessed to have found this site to share and gather information. Initially I was searching for information on how to have lucid dreams in an attempt to control my dreams and then somehow I ended up reading for hours upon hours on astral projection.

I took a Parapsychology class at my local college a few years ago (luckily I got in on the first class they only offered it for 4 semesters and only 4 schools in the world at the time) which was the best class I have ever had at any educational level. We touched on all sorts of topics including OBE's/Astral projection and lucid dreaming of course. I at the time couldn't really remember my dreams to well and our professor said to us that if we can't remember our dreams and want better dream clarity if I said it enough nights before I go to sleep to remember them then I would.   I took that suggestion and for years have been remembering most of my dreams some of them are way more vivid than others. I had a dream last week that felt extremely real. So real I woke up and was  emotionally attached to what was happening in the dream and thought about it all day.  This happens fairly often. Sometimes it could be the reverse though where I'll only remember in the morning time and by the end of the day the dream is a distant blurred memory. That sparked my interest again in lucid dreaming when I was searching about lucid dreaming I came across sleep paralysis some how which interested me greatly because I have 2 very distinct memories of waking up completely paralyzed( i have never freaked out so much in my life those seconds felt like hours) I saw that there may be a link to obe's and astral projection and hence my very renewed interest in all this.


I have some questions that may seem silly but I am so new to this that I have to ask

first How do you always get back into your body? is there a chance you will not return to your body?
If I was astral projecting and someone attempted to wake me up would I wake up?
I've read some where that random twitches and jerks in your legs arms etc right before sleep may be an indication that my body is really relaxed and that may indicate a good time to really try?

any help and information anyone is willing to give me would be so great. I am happy to have found a community of people who are filled with knowledge and from what I see have been very welcoming to others
