Hello from LA!

I've been a member on here for quite a while - I thought it was the right time to finally say hi I love this forum and this community - it's so inspiring to see so many people interested in astral travels and other spiritual experiences & practices. Good to know I'm not alone and that I'm not crazy  I've been having OOBE's since I was six, I've had many of them...not sure how many, but must be around a hundred. I always learn something new when I read this forum, though. Looking forward to learning more, and sharing my own experience with you all!

Hello friends,

Last night I had to stay up working until 4:30AM. By the time I finished all my work I was exhausted. My eyes were literally closing and I felt like I could fall asleep within seconds. I decided to experiment with this state and see how long I can stay awake with my eyes closed. So I went to bed and lied down on my back (normally, I could never fall asleep in this position). I closed my eyes and was waiting for hypnagogic imagery to kick in. In half a minute I started hearing voices, loud buzzing noises, seeing lights, and all of the sudden I realized that I was paralyzed. It all happened within a minute or so, I believe! Then, vibrations followed and I easily separated from my body.

I don't know if this happened because I'm used to having OOBE's, or because it indeed was a good discovery/method. Give it a try!

I thought I'd share with you my favorite affirmations for health. I repeat them every morning and I'm doing pretty well! Try it!

• I always contribute in healthy ways to my body.
• I AM living a long and healthy Life.
• I eat healthy, nutritious and digestible food every day.
• I drink large amounts of thirst quenching water every day.
• I have a healthy spirit, mind and body.
• I have a healthy heart and a strong set of lungs.
• God has healed my body and in return, I will forever praise His name.
• My strong body has fully recovered and healed.
• I AM miraculously cured by the touch of God's Divine Hand.

Just had to share this one.

Check this out, it's a free OOBE software that was designed to help you achieve a conscious sleep paralysis & OOBE. It uses a simple, yet effective idea. Read the info, it explains it all. The software has been tested and it WORKS.

OOBE Inducer Software

Let me know what you think of it!

We are so used to the terminology like "OUT of the body experience" that we don't even question things anymore. To be honest, I'm really doubting that OOBE happens OUT there. It makes more sense for me to believe that it happens inside of our heads, just as anything else. A few thoughts:

• The world as we know it (so called reality) consists of space, time, colors, shapes, sounds, etc. All those elements do not exist independently from our 5 senses. The fact that we see the world as 3-dimensional full-color surround-sound video is because we have eyes, ears, nose, tongue, tactile sense, and a brain that puts it all together and transform into a believable picture of reality. Hence, if we were to truly travel OUT of the body, we would probably see the world in a completely different way. There would be no shapes, no colors, no space, no sounds, no tactile sensations, etc. The fact, that during an OOBE we perceive the world as we normally would suggests that our experience has to do with a regular brain activity and brain memory. Given this is true, OOBE is really no proof for live after death, because traveling out of the body would not be possible without physical brain and all the memories contained in it.
• The fact that in OOBE we can perceive things from the real world and later verify our observations does not prove traveling OUT of the body. Remote viewing allows for the same results, just as regular dreams - both happen without leaving the body. This means, that OOBE might be just a dream - a special state of consciousness - in which we can successfully perceive the elements of the real world.

Just sharing my thoughts. Let me know what you think

I stumbled on various opinions on this, and I'm confused. Some articles say that it is necessary to close chakras after stimulating/opening them. They say it's dangerous to leave them open, as the energy can gradually get away. Other meditation tutorials don't call for any closing visualizations or anything like that. In addition, Robert Bruce writes in his essay that closing chakras using any visualization techniques is ridiculous, because it stimulates them even more.

I really don't know whom to listen to, and there is no way I can actually check this out for myself. Do you have any thoughts on this?

Dear spiritual friends,

I wanted to share with you this wonderful audio program that you can download for free here. The program is designed to help reduce fear of astral projection - it's great for beginners.



UPDATE: Sorry, it's no longer free! Please, delete the topic if it's confusing for the members. Or shoot me a message and I can still send it to you for free.

Hello dear friends,

How do you manage to meditate in a noisy environment? I usually meditate every day, but there's been some construction work going on nearby, and I simply can't focus. Is there any way to meditate when it's loud? How can you get some quiet time in a big city anyway? Please, share your thoughts.

Hi all,

I couple years ago I would have those astonishing dreams with lots of symbols that just had to be written down. Those dreams would speak about my future, show me answers for my deep questions, etc. Recently I realized that all that is gone and my dreams became very usual; it feels it would be silly to write them down, because they don't speak of anything important.

Why did that happen? I would love to regain my ability to dream epic symbolic dreams again - how do I do that?

I'm still not that good at AP and still trying to run some test before I believe it's a "real thing" and not just a dream. I know many of you here are quite skilled at AP, so I thought I'd ask: given that just about anybody can learn AP and basically travel without limitations and fly/walk through walls and closed doors, is there such a thing as PRIVACY? Astral Projection is not an openly discussed topic around the world. Every year more and more people become interested in it. Does this mean that every year there is less and less privacy? I know it sounds silly, but can you assume that whenever you take shower, you might not be alone??? That's a bit terrifying, don't you think?

Have you done anything immoral while astral projecting? Have you spied on anybody? Went through doors that were not supposed to be open? Seen things that were not supposed to be seen?

I came across a healer that offers his services over the internet. The guy has many good reviews, so I was temped to order a healing session. I'm a bit skeptical though...Can distant energy healing work just like that? This guy asks for a photo and apparently that's how he works.

Has anybody tried anything like that before? Can it work?

I often find it hard to believe that one's destiny is encoded in stars. Life has so many variables that it seems completely unpredictable. Do you believe in  horoscopes? Do they work for you? If yes, what horoscope resource do you use? I'd love to try it out to see for myself. All horoscope predictions that I've read so far was either wrong or too general (could be easily applied to just about anybody).

Hello!

Last night I woke up and I remember thinking that I just had a very important dream. I thought to myself that it was very important to remember it, but I totally forgot the most of it. I only remember the location of a dream. I wonder if there is any way to recall more details?

I'd be grateful for some hints.

Thanks!

I just found this short video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1NwKkbd2e-c) in which famous skeptic James Randy talks about his own Out of the body experience. The video is pretty interesting, because Randy admits that it actually happened to him, but his interpretation remains skeptic. He claims that many details of the surroundings while out of body did not reflect the reality. I must say it happened to me many times, too. There are other times though, in which I was sure I saw the reality just as it is. But it made me wonder: what if he's right and the times I thought I saw the real thing was a dream, too? Perhaps there were differences between what I saw while out of body and reality, but I just didn't realize it?

What do you think?

Hello,

The recent events (mass shooting in Colorado) made me wonder: is this really an accident? So much work has gone into producing the Dark Night series - an exciting, but violent and tragic movie. Can it be that thousands of people involved into the movie production actually attracted such a tragedy at the opening night?


Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

I had a bizarre experience this morning. I woke up and started my day as usual. But very soon I realized that I was still in a dream (reality tests work!). I came back to bed, closed my eyes (never happens in a dream, huh?) and began feeling vibrations. Soon enough I was astral projecting within a dream, which was within a dream. Reminds me of Inception or something!

The question is: was the astral projection just a part of the dream, or should I suppose it was the real thing? It felt real...I don't know what to think about that.

Thanks for your feedback!

Dear friends,

I thought I'd share with you these, so you stay healthy this summer!

Hi all,

I'm not implying all angels / guides are made up, but sometimes it seems that people do make those up to feel more secure. I believe I myself did make myself believe that I was contacting my guide in dreams, but now I doubt it was true - it was a difficult period of my life when I felt lonely and I really needed to feel some sort of support.

Any thoughts?

Can there be time distortions while astral projecting by practicing? Things like where 1 minute in the astral world equals only 1 minute physical or fraction there of? According to I think it was einsteins theory time is an illusion or relative correct? Can you stay in the astral world for 10 days or a time equalling 10days and have it only count as a few minutes or hours in the physical world trough practice? Also seperate subject... can you see the results of decisions like if you choose the blue wire this will most likely happen and if you choose the red wire this will most likely happen?

THANK YOU

I have pondered the question of how O.B.E. would best be approached to increase understanding of it. Up until now this question for me has been whether O.B.E. can be separated from spirituality or not.

I cannot see how it can be and would ultimately say no, but I know a lot of people would say yes, so basically I would like to know why.

Note, for a clearer definition of spirituality I am talking about the unconsciousness that the Astral seems to be, and going by general ideas that the unconsciousness cannot become illuminated without commonly named 'spiritual' tools (ie . love, acceptance, open-mindedness). Those attributes seem to 'unlock' the unconsciousness, hence the Astral, hence allow O.B.E.

Is it possible to arrive at a different conclusion and to state O.B.E. has nothing to do with spirituality at all? This is mainly a question for those who would say yes.

I was wondering as to your perceptions on dreams and their significance. I hold that there are different kinds of dreams, some more symbolic, others merely nonsensical. I believe that many dreams serve as a form of mental and/or spiritual training. One view is that they could be messages from the higher self. I have personally woken from dreams a different person, feeling as though I have been gone for months, and lived intense experiences during that time.

Another aspect that I find fascinating is precognative dreams. Again, varying from symbolic representations of events to exact scene-for-scene preplays of things to come. Any thoughts as to the nature of these?

Personally, the line between dreaming and astral experiences blurs a bit for me, and I have a tendancy to shift between the two, sometimes recalling memories from both in the same night. This is something I have been working on.

I realize that I am jumping around the map a bit, but please, if anything I have said spurs a response, throw it out there.

I thought I share a little bit of my experience with OOBE. It's been about 10 years since I've been practicing it and I've learnt a lot during that time. So here's what I've learnt based on my experience.

Usually people who are only starting have difficulties with having their very first Astral experience because they fail to understand the necessary condition which needs to be fulfilled no matter what technique is being used. What I'm talking about is sleep paralysis; it's not emphasized enough that it is the Astral Traveler's "must have." The techniques you might have read about elsewhere can be effective only AFTER you have achieved a conscious sleep paralysis. Let me make it clear: being simply relaxed is not enough! Sleep paralysis is when you can't to move the parts of your body, even if you try. If you get to sleep paralysis, you have some good chances to turn it to an out of the body experience. If you don't, you shouldn't bother trying any techniques, because they won't work. Out of the body experience consists in separating your consciousness from the physical body, and it can only be accomplished when your body is not awake. I know of a variety of opinions on this. Some  "gurus" argue that sleep paralysis has no importance in masteric OOBE. I even found a book in which the author says that one can achieve an out of the body experience when driving a vehicle. However, there is a big difference between personal experience and information that cannot be verified. I decided to choose not to believe a statement that cannot be replicated by my own efforts. thus, I think that it is absolutely necessary to have sleep paralysis to achieve an out of the body experience.


Before we get to OOBE, I'm going to talk a little bit about entering sleep paralysis. That's way harder thing than having an OOBE itself. First of all, it is very unlikely to end up having a conscious sleep paralysis at night, when you go to sleep. Just to make it clear, as we fall asleep, we do enter the sleep paralysis state, but normally our mind falls asleep before it happens. The easiest method to achieve sleep paralysis is get out of bed very early in the morning and remain awake for a while, and then return to sleep. I found that it is most effective to combine 4 h of sleep and one hour of being awake. When awaken, you should not remain in bed. Try to keep your mind busy; it's good to read a newspaper or watch tv. Even better idea would be to read your Astral Projection journal (given you have one), or read an article about OOBE (to communicate with the subconscious mind). When you return to bed, try to fall asleep as you normally do. It will take some time to start feeling sleepy again. If you did everything as described, you shoud have about 85% chance of staying aware of the whole process when your body falls into a sleep paralysis. It might take from fifteen minutes to one h; make sure you are patient and try to remain still. When you notice loud noises inside of your head and vibrations in your your body, it means that you probably are in a sleep paralysis. This is the moment you should try one of OOBE methods.

Probably you have heard many techniques so far. Most of them would work when used in sleep paralysis. The method that I believe is the best is to imagine any movement of your body. Sometimes I imagine myself running very fast. This makes me feel this bizarre pressure inside of my body, which makes the vibrations stronger and ultimately results in Astral Projection. You should try many different techniques yourself to discover what method works better for you. In fact, any visualization of the physical movement will work. Just make sure youJust remember to stay calm and have fun with this wonderful experience.

You will succeed!

Dear people,

This question of mine has remained unanswered for years. Perhaps somebody on this forum would be able to give me some feedback? So far I haven't met anybody who even knows what I'm talking about. So, here it is:

Sometimes, when in trans, I start to visualize things. And whatever I see/feel in my mind, has a weird feeling of abnormal size/proportion. For example, if I visualize my hand holding a pen, it feels as if my hand was gigantic and the pen was tiny, or the other way around. This bizarre proportion-sensation tends to grow and whatever I visualize, it becomes either giant or small. Unless I open my eyes, the sensation remains and at some point gets too weird to continue.

I know the description probably doesn't make any sense...But I trust that if anybody around here has ever experienced anything similar, it probably would make sense. So...any comments?

So here's how my adventure with Astral Projection had started.

It was many years ago, when I was a kid. At that point I knew nothing about the subject and was generally skeptical about everything related to spirituality. Once, I woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't fall back asleep. I was laying down in my bed getting bored. Suddenly, I started hearing an interesting noise in my head - at first I thought it was a train passing by somewhere near my house, but then I realized that it must have been something else. It was getting louder and louder, which totally made me freak out. I tried to move, but I couldn't - my body was paralyzed. Then came vibrations, which felt like electricity running through my body. It all happened so fast, that I didn't even notice when I found myself levitating above my sleeping body. I saw myself from the above and at first didn't realize what I was seeing. Once I did, I panicked, as I thought I just died. I "woke up" from this bizarre experience the same moment and spent the rest of the night sitting on my bed with the lights on, hoping not to fall asleep.

Few years later I read about this kind of experience and thus my journey with Astral Projection began. I tried to repeat the experience, but it took me a while until I learnt how to do it.
