Hi thanks for sharing that. Only yesterday I had put in my journal that I must try affirmations of the long list of triggers that I have noticed in my dreams. Reading your experience has confirmed my resolve,
Cheers, djed

Gateway wave series is from the Monroe Institute: they are a series on cd of hemisync recordings.
Personally, being a guitar musician, I can't stand listening to audio sounds that are not music.
I would rather keep to a natural method of preparation to astral project.
Never-the-less, saying that, they seem to be very comprehensive instruction on self improvement as well as development in the abilty to astral project.

Hi Grey, this seems a familiar situation in the etheric, walking locally. I have found that it can be terminated suddenly if you start thinking physical thoughts, if you get my drift. Was it that woman that in the scene?

For some time now I had thought that my throat chakra was unbalanced and blocked. So, during the preparation routine, I intended to do a full ten minute stimulation of the throat center. After about five minutes I coughed violently three times in quick succession. Immediately the stimulation eased. I moved on to the brow and found that the mind process of stimulation felt much easier, and tried it on other centers. I was moving rapidly up and down the body continuing with full body bounce and it felt much freer all over. I began trance meditation and vibration soon started in my feet and legs and continued up the body further than I have felt since doing this course. I did not reach exit but it felt good all over and has left me with the feeling that projection is not far away.
Keep it coming...

For me its exhileration if I am flying! which can change immediately to what you see there. If its lovely countryside or architecture its aesthetic. But sometimes it can be dark or mundane or lost amongst trees unable to fly. In a word changeable. 

Thanks xanth for directing me to blis's post, which I find really helpful. I am not stuck on any 'mindset' willing to tryout anything to get 'There' lol.
and thanks Stookie for you affirmation of Bruce's hardwork and contribution to this field.

Cheers, djed 

Thanks Blis, just what I was looking for, some immediate practical help in beginning phasing without having to understand all the 'consciousness theory' that seems to come with it.
cheers djed 

Some people seem to have clear minds, having good physiques from birth, and probably from living healthy lives. These are the people that have no problems with Phasing. Most of us are not like these people, we have blocked chakras, lack of concentration, and minds full of thoughts when trying to 'notice' and then we easily fall asleep.
As far as I know the Phasing method doesn't address the cleansing and stimulation of chakras, the raising of psychic energy or the storage of energy, the clearing of the mind. For these reasons I was attracted to Robert Bruce's methods. He deals with all of these necessary issues comprehensively, one by one, in a period of ninety days.
Whereas the phasing tutorials starts and ends with 'looking at the back of your eyelids' expecting to astral travel.
This is the affirmation I am saying at present - 'I am sensitive to the energies that move through my body. I remained tuned to the subtle shifts in awareness and the feeling and effects on my body. Everyday the conduits through which my energy flows grow clearer, cleaner and brighter.
One day (soon?) there will come a time when I too will look into the blackness of my closed eyelids and see the light!

Cheers, djed 

I agree with PersonalReality's very informative post.

Hi Chris, everyone who sleeps has sleep paralysis, its just that your mind is awake while your body is still asleep. It seems there is some control happening to some degree in the astral, why and who I don't know. it is usually benign. Maybe you can remember to speak out and command 'I don't want to go upstairs!' or "Leave me alone!"
Otherwise I wish I could have sleep paralysis more often and go OOB!
All the best results to your problem,
Cheers djed

Hi Dash, try doing regular meditation on the breath, just concentrating on your natural breathing. As you lose concentration come back to your breath. You can also combine this with just looking at the back of your eyelids and noticing any changes, patterns images.
After 15 minutes or so, breath in deeply counting up to 4, hold for 2 and breathe out for 4. As you get used to this over time you increase the count. After a while you should see the difference in the lessning of obtrusive thoughts, then you will be able to tackle hypnogogic state and 'Astral travel' Good luck!

Hi The_One, the thought came to me that if it was Satan it wouldn't be so hard to Astral project!!! He would make it a lot easier!!
cheers djed 

Hi Don, sounds like Angels were singing to you... ask for more.
Cheers djed 

Hi Astral, that sounds interesting, using meditation while you are in etheric to change your environment, (is this what you are doing?) If I am in etheric I just dive up into the astral, and when there or I am going down the tunnel, I whirl round to change environment.
Thanks for sharing, I love to read other people's experiences.
Keep them coming.
Cheers djed 

Hi Miles, it sounds like you were projected out to your astral body but not completely 'out of body'. so you are seeing your astral hands and legs. Your experience sounds like it is also influenced by dreamstuff.
When you feel paralysis dont panic, and don't try to get out or wake up, just relax and you will then have a better likelyhood of complete projection. Why you are falling down to your body is you probably need to get more energy by learning 'energy raising techniques', like meditation etc..
You are certainly on the right track. Just read more posts on this website and you will learn what is happening to you.
Cheers djed 

Diet - one or two days once a month fasting is good for disciline and health
Protection = get to know your guardian angel
Preparation = organisation of quality time
Smoking - Breathing is a key component of Astral projection and smoking wont help. As for 'pot' if you don't want to be a slave to 'mary Johanna' throw it away. 

My wife saw a ghost in our bedroom...... it was me out-of-body 

Hiya Foss, it sounds to me like you had a 'false awaking' but I never had one of those.
Maybe do a search and read about them to see if you recognise that.
Anyways you are on the right track!
cheers, djed 

Thanks for sharing Cosmo, its always encouraging to read someone elses experiences, especially when you managed to progress to flying around the neighbourhood and had a variety of experiences within one projection. Good for you.
Many more flights.
Cheers djed 

Two things mainly, to explore and enjoy the buzz 

If someone dies in their sleep how would anyone know it was from astral travel?
We die from a physical body misfuntion. heart attack, suffocation (by wife who is fedup of husband trying to astral travel) 
cheers djed

Hi Don, you may well be right; relaxation is certainly a key to the ability to OOBE,
and we usually start taking it easy when we are feeling a bit down.
Some people, with certain illnesses, have been know to spontaneously 'exit' into the astral experience.
Just try and remember how relaxed you are while having the flu! 
Cheers. djed

The times you had a nightmare, you didn't die; no difference in what you are doing in 'astral travel' or dreaming. In fact you may have been 'astral travelling' without knowing it , in any vivid dreams you have.
Just don't worry about it.
[By the way the correct spelling is 'dying' in that tense.]
Cheers, djed 

Hi, I'm Dave, (djed are the initials to my full name) thought I would give a background so you know where I am coming from.
The 'Out-of-body' experiences I had over a span of seven years were classic, using no method but meditation, using a mantra from the Transcendental Meditation program. After about four years I began having spontaneous vibrations, hypnogogic sound and vision.  'Projections' swinging around the bedroom and then taking off through the roof and flying over the countryside. I never told anyone about these experiences.
From a website I discovered the writings of Don de Gracia, who was experienced in OOBE. His writings were mainly from his dream journal. I recognized situations and 'places'  he wrote of, that I could identify with, and this gave me great confidence that someone else was doing this exciting practice.  Also a good many tips on what to do to change the situation etc. I didn't need to look into any method as it was happening for me already.
I stopped meditation after a while and gradually the OOBE's dropped off. And it has been a long time since I have projected,- occasionally I have a lucid dream but they don't last for long. So I became interested in getting 'There' again.
Re-reading Don's writings, I found he used  a method of looking into the back of the eyelids until he saw an opening which he would dive into. Since coming to Astral Pulse I have been reading the different methods people are using nowadays so decided to do the R.Bruce-B.Mercer 90 day course which I have found interesting. I am on my 47 day, -I can get into trance quite well, have vibrations and some visuals and a few sounds so far, and had three lucid dreams. Just taking it easy and see what happens.
Cheers djed

Hi Tipha, get a book on basic yoga asanas and learn about seven of the simplist ones to use before meditation. Also have it in your mind to fly as soon as you are out of body.
Cheers, djed
