While researching more tips for Asteral projection I came across the term "Etheric projection."
People were saying that that the Etheric plane is dangerous because your whole "soul", your entire being, leaves your body.
Someone else even said that you are basically a ghost when in the Etheric plane, and can possibly die while there? (doubt it)
Others just said it's a plane between the Astral and physical plane and can have negative, demonic entities that can't hurt you.

So what I want to know is, how dangerous is Etheric projection? Is it something to avoid?
How do I recognize if I am in the Etheric plane instead of the Astral plane? 

[Now here are my questions:]

Hey there, forum. And thank you for giving my topic a gander! 

So I had my first OBE when I was just a kid, perhaps around 5 or 6? My mother had tucked me in for bed and she turned the fan on. As soon as the breeze hit my face, I remember that I was suddenly floating above myself! I wasn't scared at all, it was quite fun! I believe I was only floating for a couple minutes, and that's all I remember.

Then about eight months ago, I started getting vibrations when I would almost be asleep at night. The vibrations are usually accompanied with a vision of falling from a ledge, almost like I was dreaming but I can control whether or not to jump. The falling is what starts the vibrations. I soon realized that I only get these vibrations when I have had a nap earlier that day. I soon did some research and thought I had a minor case of Old Hag Syndrome for a while, before doing more research and realizing that what I was experiencing could very well be me on the verge of separating from my body and projecting.

My most recent episode with the vibrations was just this morning, I also learned that if I kept bringing myself back to a ledge and jumping, that I could keep my vibrations going. I was unable to separate from my body, though. I'm thinking it was because I wasn't in the right position for separation, or maybe I focus too much on physically trying to separate from my body instead of thinking about separating. Sometimes when I am in the vibrational state, I let my fears get the best of me since I usually begin to hear something subtle that I know is not there. (But I usually don't let my fears control my attempts).

Now here are my questions:

• Is what I experience actually me on the verge of an OBE, even though it's accidental?
• What is personally the best position for you when trying to achieve AP?
• What are some tips you have for me so I can successfully separate and explore?

Hey there, my astral-projecting strangers!
I have been wanting to join a forum like this for a while, now. Here I am!
I'm eighteen-years-old, from Minnesota (USA).
I am anxious to hear all of your OBE and Astral Projection stories 

Don't be shy!
