Would it be possible to put a link to the chat somewhere on the forums page as well? I do not think may people know that there is a chat. It seems that most by pass the home page and come directly to the forums.

It is always easier said than done. It is best to just keep practicing and having the experiences. The more you do it the more you will get use to the sensations so the less you will be overwhelmed by them.

If you are new to any kind of energy work then I suggest you first start with Robert Bruce's NEW system to develop your energy body and clear any blockages you might have. http://www.astralpulse.com/guides/new/new.htm

What is negative energy?

I am not sure, but I do not see how it would interfere with your life if you can see auras. You would just be able to see color around a person, giving you insight into what they are like. But I do not think it is something that you see constantly. I cannot really say because I have only seen my aura once and not really practice it much.

quote:My sister actually has a connection with the weather; whenever she is feeling depressed and angered, the weather tends to become more stormy then it usually would have been.

Or maybe she just becomes more depressed and angered when the weather becomes more stormy.


I saw my aura once. It was a bright blue maybe a bluish/green color. It was pretty cool to see it for the first time.

I rarely project into the real time zone, so I cannot really answer your question. I usually find myself in some kind of a void when I project. Other times I am in places I really cannot describe as they bare little or no resemblance to the physical plane that we know. The few times I have been in the RTZ were very brief and I had no time to leave the room. I might note that while I have had several OBE/AP I am in no way an astral traveling expert as my travels have not been very long, but each time I do the length of time gets longer. Maybe I should say that the experience is longer as time really does not exist outside of the physical.

It is safe to do pretty much anything you wish, just keep Karma in might. []

The biggest difference between OBEs and Astral Project is who you ask.

Here is a good place to start if you cannot get any of the books: http://www.astralpulse.com/downloads/downloads.htm

Like I told you in another post OBEs are like riding a bicycle, and now I think you have an idea of what I was talking about. [] You have to have a mental and emotional balance, until then your experiences will be short. But this is good because it is better to have short experiences you remember than long ones your forget. Yes your experiences will become longer the more familar and comfortable you become with the astral. Just do not become discouraged if your experiences are short.

You need to learn to forget about your physical body. Not always an easy thing to do, but you will get better with practice. Try not to think about your physical body at all but focus on your astral surroundings, especially when you start to feel like you are becoming more aware of the physical. I am not sure how you remain calm, it is just something that I do. I guess you just try to clear your mind. Try to calm yourself without physical attention during the day, just try to clear your mind and emotions mentally.

By the way, congratulations.

I have thought about this and I think I might have come up with the answer, maybe. It is not really the strong emotion that ends the experience, it is either one of two things. One you become scared or overwhelmed with any emotion and as a reaction you "feel" for your body for security. Being out of body at first can make you feel vulnerable. It does feel different not having a physical body at first. When one is overcome with emotion, you seek a feeling of security and out of habit "feel" for the solidity of your physical body. The other thing is that you become so overwhelmed by an emotion that you go into shock so to speak. Your mind sort of freezes up, you loose consciousness, ending the experience and you wake up back in your body.

This to me explains why not everyone goes immediately back to their bodies when emotions become strong. Some have more control over their emotions so they do not build as quickly to the point to of loosing consciousness. Some do not instinctly feel for their physical bodies, thus leaving them in the astral until either they get their emotions under control or they black out.

I am not really sure about reincarnation, but I tend to think that it is not as common as it is made out to be if it even occurs at all. I think that the physical is like the caterpillar stage of existance. We start here and then when we die we move on to the butterfly stage, or the next step in our spiritual evolution. The butterfly does not go back to being a caterpiller, why should we go back to being in the flesh of the physical.

As for people getting in touch with past lives, I think that they do, but it may not be their past lives but someone elses. Really I do not think it matters. If the experiences are important to the person then so be it. But does it really matter if it was actually the person or someone else. We can learn from other people's experiences, dead or alive.

Some may be able to choose to return to the physical willing. It may be possible. But I do not think that any one is forced to return here and I really think that most do not. I think that there is a lot to learn on other planes besides just this one.

Though I have not used the rope technique it is may understanding that you are suppose to keep your body relaxed and let your awareness climb the rope. That is part of the technique, teaching you to keep your physical body relaxed while you get use to moving your awareness outside the body.

You are not necessarily suppose to fall half asleep. You are suppose to put your body to sleep and keep your mind awake. Though you can allow yourself to drift and just before your mind goes to sleep jerk it back awake. This way allows the separation process to happen naturally as if you are going to sleep. If you do it right after a few times you can wake yourself up in your astral body instead of your physical. The trick is 1) to not let your mind slip over into sleep and 2) not wake your physical body up, just your mind. Is this something along the lines of what you are doing?

I enjoy a good beer every now and then, though I prefer red wine most of the time when I drink alcohol. I see nothing wrong with drinking as long as one does not do it to get drunk or abuse it. Moderation is the key to life. []

What exactly is the problem? Is it that you cannot clear your mind and thoughts keep popping into your head or is it that the place you are trying to project is too noisy, like with traffic, dogs barking, etc?

If you are having trouble keeping your mind clear I suggest practicing it throughout the day. Keep your mind on what you are doing and whenever it starts to wonder or a stray thought comes along just ignore the other thoughts and focus your attention back to what you are doing. Meditation will help too. Basicly you just have to practice.

If your enviroment is noisy then in a way this can be good. It will take longer and more work but you will just have to keep practicing. After awhile you will learn to tune out the noise. It will be difficult at first, but after awhile you will be able to meditate no matter how distracting your surroundings.

First see that button on the left side of your key board that says Caps Lock. Hit it. Thank you.

Now, what is too long to you? Saying too long really does not tell me anything. If you are concentrating for 3 hours then I would say I can understand. If 5 minutes then there is a problem. If the latter then you need to just relax and clear your mind. If you are bored then your mind is not really clear. You should be neither bored nor excited really. If it is several hours, then I suggest you take a break about every hour and go do something for a bit. If you still feel like it come back and try again for another hour. Usually if nothing has happened within 45 minutes - 1 hour nothing is going to happen. So unless you are just wanting to meditate or do energy work take a break and try again in a few minutes.

I think Astral Dynamics is the best book to start with reading. I don't feel like repeating myself so here http://www.astralpulse.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=5928

I have not read Ultimate Journey yet, so I cannot comment on it.

I had a similar experience once with seeing my ceiling with my eyes closed. I was trying to project but apparently fell asleep briefly. I then looked up and saw my ceiling, but the lighting was different. It looked like the light was turned on, but I did not have it turned on because it was day light and the room was pretty bright. At which point it occurred to me that I had a blind fold on because it was so bright and I should not be able to see my ceiling. Then everything went black, I opened my eyes and there was the blind fold over my eyes. Umm I guess this does not help you much. I really do not know what to tell you about this, other than I have experienced it too and that it seems pretty common.

When do you see these images of the girl and family? While meditating and in trance? What leads you to believe that she is your guide? Maybe she is and maybe she is not, but do not base it solely on the fact that she was calling your name. Assume nothing. By assuming that she is you may influence the situation. Ask who she is if you can, "feel" for who she is, but I do suggest that you clean yourself of the idea that she is your guide unless you get a strong feeling that she is that is based more on just assumption. I do not mean to make this sounds less than it is, I just wish to stress how your thoughts can influence things, which is why it is best not to just assume something. I am really not the best person to answer this for you. I have had encounters very briefly with one or possibly two (not sure about the second) beings that seemed to be helpful. But it was rather brief and I did not get the chance to question them. I know that there are others that can help you much more. I hope they see this and help you.

I see. Thank you, Roy.

What kind of things can you see before they happen? Like you will daydream that someone is coming to see you and then a few minutes later they do?

If so it sounds like you might be clairvoyant, I think that is the right term. Like jilola suggested in your other post, try meditation and start practicing Robert Bruce's NEW Energy Ways.

Have you felt or experienced Kundalini, Paul? Do you know or have you experienced what I described? Maybe I should make a new post for it so more people will see it.

I would suggest going slow and cautious when it comes to Kundalini. Though I have not experienced myself I have heard from everyone that has that it is not something to be played with as it is very powerful. Work on Robert Bruce's NEW Energy Ways system and start that practice if you do not have any energy development experience.

quote:Its quiet interesting really, and I think somehow all this means that there is a "scientific" explanation. I beleive that the truth rests in science.

I believe that there is nothing supernatural. Supernatural, magic, miracles, etc are words used to describe something that we do not know how they work. All things follow the laws of nature (or universe or whatever you want to call it). The problem is, we do not know all the laws and all the facts. So yes I believe that everything has a "scientific" explanation as well. Instead of staring in awe and starting to worship or fear something that people do not understand they should study it and learn its true nature, for that will add to the overall understanding of the Universe.

It sounds like you have just increased your awareness of your surroundings allowing you to perceive and react to them better.

It is true that your thoughts and emotions will effect how you perceive the astral. Negative thoughts and fear can make you find yourself in a negative, fearful place. But you cannot be hurt while in the astral. The worst that will happen will be that you become overwhelmed by your fear and wake up in your physical body. It is best to be calm and passive when you are trying and during projection, reguardless of what might happen or what you might see.

I will agree though, if you are in a depressed bad mood it might not be a good idea to try to project until you have brightened up your mood.

quote:i don't want this to turn into 'one of those' forums as bad as the rest of you. if we keep feeding it though, it will.

Being sacrastic and mean to the kids is what will make this forum like 'one of those' forums. Ok maybe we are thinking about different forums, but my point is every other forum on the net has a negative feel to it. Someone posts and then wonders if one of the "negs" is going to attack them and their post. This forum has endured, probably mostly thanks to the mods, and kept a positive atmosphere. Being mean to someone who is not as evolved as yourself is not helping anyone. So what if some kids come here claiming things we all know they cannot do. It is a great opportunity in my view to teach them the truth and possibly change their lives for the better. For whatever reason someone is drawn to this place, I hope that we can rub off on them and they can leave (well not really leave, but you know) having learned something and been set on a productive path that will help them develop. At some time we were all ignorant of these things. Thankfully someone had patience with us, let us have patience with them and everyone will be better off.

Our new member with the long name (I don't remember is name right now) has actually made an effort. Give him a chance. He has admitted that he cannot do those things he claimed and has been seeking help. He just does not seem very familar with how message boards work. Someone needs to try to explain it to him and help him out.

You don't have any kids do you? []

Love and Peace

1) Since water repels negs(presumably a type of spirit/astral being), does water repel OBEers?

No, but my view on negs and this is clearly different than yours.


2) Is it at all possible to interact with the physical world while in your astral body? (eg, while OBEing.)

I do not think so. You are on the Astral Plane while in your astral body. I think it would be difficult to effect the physical from there. While in the real time zone it may well be possible because you are much closer to the physical plane.
