I don't know much about yoga but from what I have read on the internet I think the description of kundalini yoga is a little bit similar to qigong exercises designed for opening up and moving the qi in ren and du meridians(xiaozhoutian) and eventually in all the meridians (dazhoutian).

I am not sure how easy it is to find authentic martial arts masters outside of China as even in China there are very few of them but in internal martial arts like taijiquan, xinyiliuhe, baguazhang, ... they usually teach techniques to their indoor students for opening the meridians and using the dantian energy however it usually takes many years of training to achieve these results.  

Thanks, I'll definitely try to read it however I'm not sure how much I can understand since I know very little about physics. 

What kind of zhanzhuang? Have you practiced any particular type of martial arts before?

Usually after mediation or after waking up from an OBE I can have a better view at the auras around things and the colorful energy clouds that are everywhere. I have noticed that these auras are made of small particles and are formed exactly like electromagnetic fields. I wonder about the nature of these energy fields. Are these particles unexplainable in today's science or is it possible that they are somehow related to electromagnetic fields and that humans can also see them like some other animals?

Has anyone on these forums done any successful direct validation experiments like what I described in my first post? I'd appreciate it if you could give me the link of the posts or threads.

Yes once both my mom and my sister saw my astral body while they where watching TV in the living room. Also one time I was spying on a girl I had crush on at college but she suddenly turned back as if she could feel my presence. However I never confirmed this with her  .

So far I have experienced two types of OBE. I can easily go to sleep paralysis and then to the real time zone but like Armyof one they just last 1~5 minutes and I wake up automatically if I get too far from my physical body however they are quite vivid and I am fully aware of everything going on, the other type is those experiences that are not really planned and usually happen after a lucid dream and almost always there are higher beings behind them. They last longer probably 10~30 minutes (of course I don't have a clock over there  ) but the problem with them is that they are not that vivid and I don't have full understanding and full control over them. In those experiences I talk to those beings in languages that I don't understand when I am awake and they are still very mysterious  to me. So far I haven't had many of them.

As you might have read in another post, it happened to me a few days ago but it was more serious than your situation. Now my (Chinese) wife's family think that I am insane and are pushing her to divorce me! I study TCM, practice martial arts, qigong and sometimes AP. It's really difficult for me to talk about anything other than these topics. Thank God I see my fellow Kung Fu brothers and teacher twice a week or I would go insane in China. From now on I don't think that I will talk about AP anywhere other than on this forum.

Here is what I know about sex for men: As far as I know in many martial arts and qigong styles 節慾(jie yu) is advocated which means moderation in sex life according to one's physique and the change of the seasons, however there are a few styles that advocate complete abstinence but I don't know much about them. Generally sex is thought to be very good as you can get a lot of yin energy from your partner which nourishes the body but ejaculation is thought to be wasting your vital essence, that's why many martial artists have sex as much as they want and even have orgasm but are careful about the number of times that they ejaculate.Avoiding ejaculation can help you to gather a lot of reserved energy that can be used for qigong, astral projection etc. but if your meridians are not open enough and you don't know how to circulate the energy it may cause qi stagnation which can be very harmful. It may take many years of qigong to get to a decent level in opening and circulating the energy in the meridians and as your body gets more open your desire for sex also decreases and you will know how much sex is healthy and how much is harmful for balancing your body.

I don't think sleeping on stomach is very good (at least at night). Personally I feel(I think I also read it somewhere) that the natural defensive shield is thicker in front of the body which means that in case of encountering wild entities during sleep paralysis it would be easier for them to attack us from our back. For what it's worth, in TCM theory it is also said that wei qi(the protective qi) circles the yin meridians at night which are all in front of the body.

I know what you are talking about and I think it's a very good decision to stop thinking about astral projection because you are not mentally ready yet. I strongly suggest that you shift your attention to healthy and relaxing physical activities and sports (maybe yoga or tai chi(taijiquan)) . If you follow a religion, you can also pray to God and ask for protection because praying is one of the best meditations that I know of.

There are different levels of faith: On the surface there are people who THINK they have faith and deeper there are people who KNOW  they have faith. The first group see religion as a manual either for getting reward from God or for avoiding the hell. For them religion and their belief is just an illusion of faith. The second group on the other hand seek knowledge beyond their limits. They are determined to KNOW. In order to KNOW faith first they need to question their faith and in order to seek the answer they need to be humble and learn what is beyond their limits. This challenge will continue until they finally KNOW the truth and that's when they realize the oneness and the unity of everything in the universe.

Generally I don't think that learning astral projection is a good idea for those who don't have a good base in meditation(qigong, yoga, ...) because it can be a very hurtful experience for those who bring their fear and stress to the astral plane and don't have enough reserved energy to control their experience. So unless you are very dedicated to learning some basics in meditation, it's better to avoid astral projection altogether. Regarding how to avoid it I think the best way is to make yourself busy in the daily life and stop thinking about it because once you have your first lucid dreams then it won't be easy to avoid the rest and you will have spontaneous experiences every once in a while even if you don't want them.

I don't rule out your interpretation since I don't know any scientific methods to evaluate any of my experiences but as far as I am concerned it was vivid and clear enough to make me more cautious about practicing OBE. However after a long pause I think qigong/martial arts has made me strong enough to start practicing OBE again.

Personally I have been called crazy by many of my relatives who know about my interest in astral projection and qigong. I try to avoid the topic but today it came up again and I had a long argument with one of them. It actually got me thinking if it's possible to prove OBE and if it has been done before. In theory it should be a simple experiment: Someone writes something and hangs it on the wall, I go out of my body in another room and then project myself to that room and read the note. However I haven't practiced for a few years and my skills are a bit rusty. So I'd like to know if anyone has done this before and if there are difficulties to do such a thing in the so called real time zone.

Yes, one night a being attacked me in a lucid dream and the next moment I was in a sleep paralysis. The room was dark and I couldn't see him clearly but I could fell his hand cutting through my solar plexus. Somehow I managed to wake myself up but the next day I had to go to hospital for an appendectomy   This is one of the reasons I stopped practicing astral projection a few years ago and started practicing qigong and martial arts instead. I have heard that in Daoism they also practice astral projection at a high level(元神出竅yuan shen chu qiao) but they consider it dangerous before one has reached a certain level in opening up the meridians and gathering energy.

Edit: I have also been sexually assaulted by these beings a few times and it gives me an impression that wet dreams and many other kinds of dreams are caused by these entities to take our energy. The only difference is that astral travel practitioners are more aware of the situation.

well there are all kinds of possibilities.possesing another body sounds weird but quite possible. it doesn't matter if he is not telling the truth. I think we astral projectors should be worried about that. that's why I need more information from anyone who knows more. astral projection is prohibited in a lot of systems at the early stages. I wonder what threats it can cause for us.

ok as you like, does anyone else know about switching bodies?

dream on cause some freaky demon is more likely to posses your body. but I am not that sure if it's possible because there should be a protection shield around the aura.

I have to admit it, it's not something that I have ever heard of before but I don't want to say that it's impossible. However dude you have had one of the freakiest experiences possible and you just say that it's an strange experience???!!! Please explain more about what happened, how you felt and how you are feeling right now. Maybe it can help us to avoid it.

Do you mean that you woke up as your girlfriend?   
Whenever a being gets near my physical body during an obe I automaticaly wake up.
If it's true I won't obe again, because I don't want someone else in my body. Maybe that's why some freaky beings don't let me get out of my body. I have felt other beings in my brain once or twice. They came in from the chakra in the back of my head, but left immediately.

focus on your sexual energy and try to fly using that energy. try to save it for at least a few days otherwise it won't be enough to separate you from your physical body.

come on psan  ,this negation process needs a lot of energy, the process is much easier. all you have to do is to stop the thoughts one by one.

These unstoppable thoughts are to hide other dimensions from us. I looks like a spell on humans. I don't know if it's done by demons or by God but it's more than just coincidence. 

I start AP by quieting my mind and then most of the time I go to sleep paralysis. In sleep paralysis you can not move your physical body but the astral body is not free either. Then I focus on my sexual energy in my testicles ( :roll:I am not joking) and begin to elevate. Once I get far enough from the physical body, I can freely move.
