My projection practice has been very all over the place at the moment because of A level results and sorting out universities etc (goin to lancaster uni this october!), but the few times i did try one method before that all started, i had a little success.

I was using the willpower technique i read about in a book i bought about astral projection, which is basically relaxing then repeating in your head a few sentences along the lines of you i will astral travel, i am ready to leave my body, my astral body is ready to leave, i want to leave NOW!. You are supposed to say it about a dozen times, have a break, then try again, then call it a day, but not much was happening so i did it for longer and i basically started to get the vibrations in my hands and wrists, which felt kinda like when your blood flow has been restricted, except when i moved them afterwards the vibration stopped immediately and i had all my normal feeling, so i know it wasn't that.  Also i had the slight sensations of movement in my head i've had a few times before.

I'm sure the answer is probably yes, but has anyone else had vibrations in a particular part of their body which over time and with practice led to the vibrations spreading?
Cheers everyone

This is a question/suggestion for those who can project (of which i am not) and control where they go.  Has anyone ever tried going to somewhere like Area 51? Or any other top secret places the public aren't supposed to know about?
The idea just randomly popped into my head and i thought someone should give it a go!

I thought i would share some experiences me and my family have had which have raised the question to me, why does it seem that children are more sensitive with regards to spirituality? I'll explain what i mean a bit more:

1. When i was a kid i had recurring nightmares all the time (lots of different ones over the years) and i partly remember one, but i only remember right at the end, and i would see a train platform and someone i.e. the person who just scared me half to death somehow, would get on a train and i would see it leave into the distance.   I remember telling my mum about my nightmares and she told me to change them, to influence it so that i wouldn't be scared.  So next time i see the train platform, a policeman chases the person onto the train, and i would get a great sense of relief knowing the person was captured (as a kid i think people look up to policemen and their crime-fighting abilities more than when you're an adult), and that i had made the policeman appear.

2. I used to have recurring lucid dreams.  One i had a lot was that it would be dusk, and as it turned dark I (being a Gargoyle) would break out of the stone that covered me and I'd go gliding from building to building, controlling where i went myself.

3. Another one was that I used to fly above my old house in Liverpool (i had these dreams while i was living there) and i thought i was a bird because of the swooping flying motion, but i realize now that i never actually saw my body, birdlike or not, so i think this recurring 'dream' was actually a series of OBEs.

4. This i find very interesting, and i plan on asking her about this when i see her next.  My little cousin (technically this is my second cousin i'm talking about, my cousins daughter) who is 7 now but i think was about 5 at the time, was in my grandads kitchen visiting him with her mum and aunty (my family all live very close to each other so see each other all the time) when she suddenly said "Theres nanny Irene" (or something similar to that effect).  When her mum asked her what she meant, she simply stated that Nanny Irene was standing near them in the kitchen.   Now this nanny Irene is my nan who died when I was 6 (would be my cousins great grandmother), which means that my cousin never met her.  But yet out of the blue she said she could see her, and she has never made up something like this before or since, and I am inclined to believe her.


Any ideas?

This story may also be of interest:
My nan (the same Irene) appeared to my cousins partner (i.e. my little cousins dad) a few years after they'd been together.  But this was more 'ghostly' because he was in the social club he used to work at, at the end of the day when no one else was left there, and he was practicing pool waiting for someone from the security company to come and fix the window shutters which were stuck. Then a woman wearing a black dress came out of the ladies toilets, walked to the end of the pool table and looked at him and smiled, then walked back.  He went home and described the experience and the description of the dress and the woman was recognized by my cousin, and she showed him a photo of our nan in the black dress she used to wear, which he said was the same person, and the same dress.

They think that nan was just coming to check out the father of her great granddaughter, as she wasn't alive when he came on the scene.



I think father and daughter both seeing raises questions either about nan's dedication to keeping watch on the family (which has always been very close), or that maybe being sensitive to such things runs in families?

Also, has anyone else had experiences with children or family members experiencing this sort of things?

Hi everyone.
I've been into astral projection for just over a month, and i think i'm on the way because i remember loads more dreams than i ever did.

In the middle of A2 exams at the mo which sucks (gonna have 2 chemistry exams on my birthday, its just not fair).  But then after the 28th i'm finished with school forever, and with the summer holidays starting i'll have lots of time to focus on meditation and stuff, so hopefully in the not too distant future i'll have some kind of wierd trance experience to share.

This is my MSN space for anyone who might want to use up a bit of their time    http://spaces.msn.com/members/mpeters87/

I wonder if theres anyone here hoping to start at Sheffield university in September?

Anyway, so why do i want to astral project?  I guess there are a few reasons, one of them being that after doing philosophy in school I definitely don't believe in life after death, that course has definitely messed with my head, but in a good way i think.  So in that respect astral projection would be the sort of experience which would stop me being terrified by the prospect of death lol.

Good luck to everyone else who is beginning this process


Also, for anyone who may be interested I am going to keep a timeline of my progress working towards astral projection, and if there is interest (as there seems to be as several members have asked others how long it can take to project) i will post it when i (hopefully) fully astral project.

I've only been interested in astral projection for just over a month, so I'm not bothered that I haven't projected yet, because it seems that it takes quite a while to be able to so but i just thought i'd try and check I'm doing the right sort of thing.
I've been keeping a dream diary since my interest started, and whereas i used to have (or remember) maybe one dream every month or so, I'm having/remembering up to about 5 per night/morning.  I've had 1 lucid dream (which i haven't had since i was a kid - I'm 17 now) which was very short, but then caused a false awakening.  I've had a separate false awakening, and that's basically it.
When I'm in bed i tell myself over and over again that i will have lucid dreams (as I've read that these can be relatively easily converted to OBE's) and that I will astral project.  I focus on my breathing and imagine what it would be like to separate from my body and walk around.

Does it get easier to continue the focusing/giving yourself suggestions as you get closer to sleep?  As i find that I'll be doing what I've said above, then after a while realise that I've stopped because I'm tired, so i carry on as much as I can.

Obviously everyone is different, but does it sound like I'm doing the right sort of thing? Any feedback would be very much appreciated.
