[you]

By the way, what are these dark astral beings exactly? Quite a few times I've found that I find myself awake but can't move and I have this dark shadowy presence hovering over me and pining me down. I've learned how to deal with THEM, but I'm wondering, are the two are somehow related?

Everyone has their own theories regarding them. Some say that our subconscious creates them for whatever reason, whether it's spiritual evolution, bringing fears to the surface so you can "cleanse" yourself, becoming balanced so to speak or simply something "outside" of yourself, trying to find a way to survive.

They can be thought forms which have become detached from you, trying to sap energy to sustain cohesion (depending on their manner and the original energy involved in creating them). Thought = action and it manifests itself in many ways. The more you focus on something, the more energy you feed it, whether it's a problem, process or entity of another kind. The idea is to achieve balance and raise your consciousness, that's going to be vital with everything coming our way in the future. Watch your thoughts and note your reactions, try to guide them but don't obsess over control. The objective is to flow naturally while increasing your buoyancy in the energy of today, no need to get pulled under so to speak.

Sleep paralysis can be uncomfortable from my limited experience with it, call upon another energy to watch over you in your daily life. Ask your guides, whether or not you believe in them doesn't matter, the fact is they're connected to you on a level most people don't realise.

In all this, in case you're wondering, whether it's you or something else, everything you're going through is "real". It doesn't matter if you create it or not. You wouldn't be posting on a forum about it if it wasn't "real" and if it wasn't "real" you most certainly wouldn't be affected by it. Something else that's interesting, money is real to alot of people but not to some others, in the same way this forum is real to some but not the rest. Don't let anyone tell you it's not "real" or you'll get very confused. Just realise what you can do about it.

If you're open minded to the concept, call upon Archangel Michael to protect your space. That's all I can suggest, the concept of Michael as an entity has been reinforced throughout hundreds of years, yet despite that he's just as real as you or me. Different kingdom mind you.

Edit: It's as simple as asking.

Hehehehe

You're never alone in that respect but if you're embarassed about what you want to do, ask yourself why. Other than that, it's very hard to hide yourself from anything. Truth shows clearly if it's felt for but the closest you can get to hiding is making someone uncomfortable in your presence.

It's your call and don't let shame inhibit your creative side.

They're provoking you, trying to get a certain reaction out of you which translates as more energy for them. Humans generate a lot of emotional energy and so it makes sense that from time to time, depending on how "empowered" we are that attacks may come, it's how they feed.

Humans, because we generate an energy so potent and have an imagination so powerful, are more than capable of "standing up" for ourselves.

A lot of the people here will tell you to fight fire with fire but that's not going to work. Give them a reaction they weren't expecting, dare I say it, send them "love" and watch what happens. Typically they themselves start to feel frightened and their energy seems to get more intense, they're pulling out all the stops so to speak in order to paralyze your creative mind with fear. Keep sending them "light", or energy of a high vibration. They have 2 choices, be transformed or find a place with darker shadows to hide in. If you can laugh at it, not out of fear, that also raises your energy level.

They do everything they can in order to make you doubt yourself, it's the only weapon they have. You can let the energy pass through you or you can claim it, but claiming anything intended to induce fear is obviously going to affect you in a negative way. You can be passive, but they sometimes keep pressing you. Send them something they don't want to see from you and know that they can't stand in the light very long. It's about self-control, bravery doesn't come into this. Don't confront them out of fear or anger, it's the same thing to them.

Edit: You don't have to respond but you can say "let's talk about something else", that always gets an interesting reaction. During one confrontation an entity was so desperate to get to me that it said "if you don't let me in I'll enter your dog", knowing how much I love my pets.

Just start smiling and then keep on smiling, easier said than done perhaps but if you're serous about ending this then you might consider it at some stage rather than being fearful every time you "get out".

I've seen a "shadow man" around my house too. Whenever I begin to wake up he sprints off but my brother, it seems, managed to get a good look at him in a dream. I'm determined to resolve this issue peacefully, I'll keep you updated.

I tend to believe that "intelligent life" does exist but it operates from a higher vibration.  Kryon, the entity, seems to claim the universe is "donut shaped" but also dynamic in the sense that parts of it can be distorted/bent (time/space) if known how in order to support instantaneous travel in the physical.

It would be interesting to find out if the earth was in such a low vibration that while we couldn't (or have difficulty) in seeing "up" that everyone else (or a majority) could see "down".

The idea of the brain creating a placeholder for something it can't quite interpret correctly/comprehend does seem possible, if not likely.

As for whether or not it's a blind spot, I'm not entirely convinced just yet.

It would be nice to collect some more information on this. Anyone, if you've had similar experiences please respond.

Thanks for the reply mactombs : p

NickJW, sorry for being close-minded about it.

It seems a bit like an action man scenario to me, that's all. Smooth stated he was paralysed at one time. When you attack something in this way it's usually done out of fear, and depending on how fearful you actually are you might even do it out of anger. If you can keep level-headed during one of those encounters I'd propose trying something "new" each time.

Anyhow, working out of fear/anger is only going to ensure you receive similar feedback later on.

Plus I'm not sure if it's "best" to go round "punching" things in the heart chakra, where did you read this?

It sounds a little violent and doesn't set the best example towards entities of this kind. Just showing them to themselves is usually enough.

Aim for his heart chakra, he won't be coming back anytime soon.

wtf ...


Anyway smooth, back to your post. I don't get sleep paralysis much, if at all. Twice in my life actually, the second time being this morning. I didn't feel a presence but I noticed a giant black spider of some sort on the wall, 20cm accross, like you I didn't panic. In my case it just dissipated into black mist after I focussed on it long enough.

Asking God for protection, that's all well and good. You don't have to take anything I say as truth, but consider what I'm about to say. Suppose that in this instance that you yourself are God, or at least a part of it, and that creation is your "power". You create every day in thought and you process it as it comes in the "now" moment. What seems real to you might not seem real to someone else and vice versa. In this case you have an entity of some sort claiming it aspires to be just like you. It has a hard time creating things for itself and sounds as though it's suffering from some sort of "energy crisis". To that end, it might have an agenda, probably wanting to provoke a reaction out of you. Like attracts like, when things started getting verbally abusive you began to exchange energies. There was a crimson circle channeling recently which seemed to indicate that if you reflect the energy directed at you, rather than process it and send it back, it sends the instigator running. Use your imagination, be creative, picture a mirror reflecting everything back. You don't have to accept the energy being given to you, you don't have to make it your own, rebound it.

The other, more textbook approach, is to invoke protection in the form of archangel Michael. Again, use your imagination and the power of intent, be creative in everything you do otherwise it has little meaning. Asking God for protection might just be a string of words rather than a meaningful response to a situation.

I've had similar experiences to this with the main difference being that some of my characters were actually animated.

I saw everything organised systematically on a black background, all the characters were white and stood out clearly. I had about 13 seconds to get a good look at everything and the ones that stuck in memory were something that looked like a rotating daisy and a wheat plant. They seemed more like icons and very simple in structure.

I think they're Shamballa-related.

Having seen a few just before projection and then having searched on this forum afterwards, it seems alot of people have seen something best described as a big black spider.

They are about 20cm across and rather static, I've never seen them move. The only "animation" involved is during the time they fade out if the vibrations stop and the exit fails. This is my experience with them.

Interestingly enough, the way they fade out reminds me of how a cloud loses it's shape and dissipates, except into a black mist.

I don't deal in good and evil and I have no phobia of spiders. It's just that during sleep paralysis it's very hard to tear my eyes away from it, if you know what I mean.

Yes, I have defenses set up, more than you could know. No, I don't believe I'm creating it. No, it doesn't frighten me but if I ever saw it move then it might.

Let's talk about this, it seems "real" enough to me in the sense that it's experienced by many people. Astral wild-life, any speculations?

With the influx of new energy in the world these days some interesting things are happening.

Note: I sometimes keep my eyes open during the exit sensations and that's when they're most visible, along with the binocular zooming in - zooming out type effect. If anyone relates please reply.

hrm, I feel fine now

Hybrid virus?

I do energy work but I haven't been giving enough attention to my sub navel. I've been stupidly concentrating raw energy onto my 3rd eye. I had headaches 3 weeks ago because of it but they stopped. I thought everything was ok.

Since yesterday the pain has stopped but I'm getting vibrations currently as I write this, it's not a trembling or shivering. In fact the moment I typed that they got worst.

Hello all.

First of all I think I should thank everyone for sharing the wealth of information they have built up which has allowed me to project consciously for the first time. In fact after being so pleased with the first attempt I tried many times during the day.

10 AM

Roll out of bed, glide through my drawers and stop at the wall. No vision but could feel all materials and was aware of where I was.

5 PM

Standing in my bedroom but everything's dark. Looking out the window there seems to be nothing. Like a 3D environment without lighting. There was enough for me to see the outline of certain objects in my room though. As soon as I realised there were inconsistencies I focussed my vision on a point in the blackness and heard a weeeeee-oooooooh noise in my head similar to the brain wave gen mp3's.

11PM

Had a hot bath then tried to project. Vibrations kicked in and it all went to excrement. I started falling into a hot sweat and feeling dizzy. Threw up 3 times and still feeling bad.


Symptoms:

My brow chakra suddenly feels as if it has weight and it's pushing me down.

Vibrations are constant atm, I feel awful. It's not shivering or trembling.

Feel horrible, damn well awful.

I logged on to a shaman IRC channel and asked for some advice. I ended up going outside in the night to sit under a tree and "connect with the earth". I opened my eyes after shutting them for 10 seconds and saw a dark hand waving at me in thin air from the other side of the wall. That scared me, yes. I walked back inside.

How long are you maintaining these heavy vibrations?

I experienced them for the first time last night and it felt like my whole body was being torn apart. I kept it going for 6 seconds before I terminated the attempt and sat up.

I got to that stage by allowing my mind to drift until I started to experience "dream imagery". I thought to myself "I am <name>", concentrated on my brow chakra and felt a pop inside my head.

Just curious

So far it's been a journey of self-discovery for me. Sure enough if you bring this topic up with random people then at some stage you may be the subject of ridicule and your social life may even undergo unwanted changes. Find people who share an interest in AP and keep in contact with them. Fortunately I have a younger brother (20) who is also actively practicing the exercises listed in Astral Dynamics and the ones suggested on this board. We share our findings and document them accordingly.

I wouldn't hold out for a scientific breakthrough, after all everyone finds out sooner or later and at the end of the day it doesn't really matter. This is about you. Concentrate on helping others and finding answers to the questions you have about yourself.

Those are my thoughts anyway.

[Strongest ever Vibrations]

I want to thank everyone on this board, especially the moderators for making so much information readily available to us.

The past 2 months I have been experiencing vibrations. I dismissed them as trembling due to being over excited or too tired. Last night for the first time in my life, praise god, I experienced something different.

For the first time I felt strong vibrations. It's nothing like I would ever have imagined. It's as though your whole body is becoming a drilling machine. People, you will know this feeling when you experience it. It is impossible to ignore the first time it happens. Whatever your thoughts are at the time they will be interrupted by this. It's fantastic and most importantly it's real. I was about ready to throw in the towel but this has made that impossible. I'm almost becoming obsessive over this and I realise I need to calm down and go back to normal for a bit.

It's incredible, absolutely f-ing incredible and I haven't even consciously projected yet. Thank you everyone and god bless the creator of this community.

Here's what happened :)

1.) Went to bed very late at night (5 AM)
2.) Vibrations/small trembling sensations are evident
3.) Let my mind drift for a bit
4.) Random thoughts about some scenery from dungeon siege (PC Game)
5.) Saw a forest from top down, realised I wasn't an active participant in this dream.
6.) After becoming aware of No.5 thought to myself ("I am <first name> <surname>")
7.) Vibrations became a little stronger nothing too noticeable.
8.) Focussed on my brow chakra
9.) Pleaded for help (mentally) from anyone to assist me in projection.

9.5) Something in my head (not ears) popped.

10.) Strongest ever Vibrations kicked in.
11.) First thoughts "This is it, this is what I've been reading about"
12.) Note. Didn't test for sleep paralysis
13.) 6 seconds later thought "I've gone another step, I'm terminating this, I'm happy with my progress".
14.)Sat up, vibrations stopped instantly.
15.) Thought "I'm going to wake my little brother and tell him about this"

Note: Brother got me interested in this, felt I had to tell him as he hasn't had any success. I'm aware that had I continued I would have experienced something even more fantastic. This was a first time for me however and so I thought it was enough for now.

I'm very happy and this is a very exciting time in my life.

Note: I never tested for sleep paralysis but I was able to leave the vibration pretty quickly. Is that normal or does paralysis come afterwards?

This has been an ongoing problem with me the past 2 weeks. I managed to get vibrations about 3 weeks ago (when I began actively practicing) and haven't been able to exit. Closest I've come to anything interesting happening is seeing green puddles whilst my eyes are closed. Energy work continues as normal.
I tried something silly a while ago and that was working on my brow chakra before conditioning other points. That resulted in headaches but I continued anyway and all pain has ceased since then.

I'm trying numerous exit methods atm none of which have given me any real success so far though I'm going to try something different during my next session. Any more than half an hour and I find myself almost entirely immersed in a dream but I snap out of it as I seem to respond verbally to events that are happening during the experience be it something I laugh at or a question I reply to.

One other thing I'm going to put down here is that when vibrations are present and I focus on my brow chakra they get much stronger. It's hard to keep that awareness without having to concentrate which, in turn, is counter productive from what I've read.

Problem is that traffic wakes me up and so I use earplugs. If it's in the morning (after I awake) then I put on a blindfold and try to resync with the astral body/instance without having to deal with the visible light density.

Any help would be appreciated. I'm obviously doing something wrong after all.

I recently had a dream about the dark side of the moon :)

Something about a drilling machine ;p

Just thought I'd mention it ;)

Are you sure this wasn't some sort of after image?

How long could you see it?

Definately not an after image-I only saw darkness for about 5-10 seconds,and then It was just a FLASH,and there it was.It startled me so much that it dissappeared.

Afterimages aren't that clear-The image was clearer,and a little more colorful than my physical sight.

Ah :)

I'm documenting alot of content from these boards and I just want to make sure it's worth investigating as there's alot of stuff to sift through.

I'll add this to my daily practice then.

Are you sure this wasn't some sort of after image?

Hello there.

What emotions were you experiencing during all this?

If it was your first time, weren't you afraid, didn't you try to resist it?

Please provide a more detailed account as it's hard to understand what actually happened. For the record, this is a similar experience to my own one I had a year ago and the entire time I was terrified. In fact I screamed out loud and started trying to tense every muscle in my body. I woke up shortly after that with full memory of what had just transpired.

By now you should realise that like-attracts-like. If you're trying to overcome your fear then converse with your (spirit) guides and ask them for help. You don't need to speak to them directly, they are aware of your thoughts and if you ask them, knowing they are always there, to help you then they will. They are, after all, an extension of yourself.  Put aside some time to think quietly about it and get in contact with them.

The worst thing you can do is fear. Go into it boldly but peacefully also. If you start trying to confront your fear with anger then that's also going to be detrimental as like attracts like. The best thing you can do right now is calm down and if you can't stop thinking about it just keep in mind that help in the form of your guides is merely a thought away and that they care for you unconditionally.

Last night I gave some time to try and stimulate my brow chakra, I tend to do this every night and a week ago I was suffering from very bad headaches because of it. The thing is I haven't stopped trying and a few dreams later and conscious recollections of some important past events to do with  "involuntary projection", last night I had a very strong pulsing feeling on the right side of my head.
Whenever I tried to focus on my head I would get that same feeling but it caused me no pain whatsoever. As I type this I'm trying to recreate that pulsing feeling but am unable to.
It could be an energy block I suppose but to be honest I have no idea of what it really is.

More information I want to add to this.

This was during a phase in recent life when I was extremely active in my prayer to God and Jesus. Every night I would beg for a message to come to me in a dream regarding some problems I was having to the point I actually shed tears. These were prayers in which I really put an emotional investment and believed something would happen. I guess it did, only I happened to be fully conscious during the exit stage and frightened myself stupid. Yes I'm aware we project every night subconsciously but we are hardly ever aware of it so it may or may not have been just a coincidence.
