hmm....better to speak about that in the "locale" thread ! []
I want to agree with the fact that visualising is an everyday practice. As i said before, instead of visualising my body, i visualise a geometric form (a triangle in fact), the first times i could see it in my imagination but since last night i can see it in my "mind's eye". The problem i am facing now is that at a certain point i feel that i have the choice to follow the path of the visions (feel that images can appear at this point of mental state) or follow the technique closely and visualise the place where i want to go...i can't visualise it as well as my triangle...
An interesting point is, although Velikigrizzly said that no trance is required, when i gaze the triangle, my body enters automatiquely in Trance state...effect of visualising or just a reflex my body learned with practice ?
Hehe sorry for my confusing english...[:I]

there is no "time"...because the death is always here, we can die at any moment...wich makes every moment precious. No time to hope for angels or anything to save our arse ![] We will all die ...

...hmm...i think REM is a good thing that it must not be stopped ! I usually have visions during the REM state...

one good thing is to never look , focus too long on something, i look around me quickly, without sticking to anything deeply and change frequently my positions, movements etc...i learned the trick by reading Castaneda's "art of dreaming ".
Hope this helps !

i tried exactly this preset (meditation 2) and it gave me a solid trance where i had the energy body feeling ( ifeel like a giant marshmallow) but couldn't go further...

i suggest you to not think about it...
in fact i suggest you to NOT THINK []
it seems that when we are in the "proper state" we don't feel embarassed anymore by those details...good luck !

i tried it this night and, surprisingly, it gave me the trance state but it was difficult for me to visualise clearly the place where i wanted to be, instead, i had lots of differents clear visions. One vision was a place in a desert, i could focus on it with a "without thinking" state of mind...and during less than one second i WAS in this place ! Wow. But my surprise and inexperience forced me to come back...[:O][|)]
I must precise that i didn't tried to visualise my body at the begining but a geometric form because i think that it is easier to visualise and as it is written in the scans you gave us, we can choose our shape in the astral, so...

it looks difficult but worth the effort...
i promise to try !!!
Anybody ever tried this before ?

Waaaah thank you very much !!!!!!![|)]

Ancients egyptians called the astral body (or the soul ) KA.
I like the way the artist stylised it with a bird shape...

CONGRATULATIONS !!!!

Lucky you ![]

BASH BASH BASH
(this the sound of my head banging against the wall, because i can't project myself yet...[B)])
I was thinking that people experiencing OBE without any knowledge of the astral projection thing must be really frightened and thinking they are dying...i fear that this "taboo" on A.P must have send some unfortunate people in asylum...[V]

I am not in an asylum yet but wish i could project...please send me some of your good vides [|)]

this thread really shows the utility of this forum ! [][^]

Bonjour Shaman and thank you for your answer ! Oui, le mauve est une de mes couleurs preferees ! [:I]
I am so motivated to success in astral projecting that i am taking strange sleep patterns and tuned my alarm for every 30 minutes...only when my girlfriend is gone (she works a lot earlier than me)...
I am still lucky enough to be able to do so as i don't have childrens nor other people to take care of (not yet, who knows !)...
I am located in Japan, so if you do the math and look at the time of my posts, you'll see what i mean by "strange sleeping patterns"...[]

hmm...as for me i am an artist too [:I]
but more in the graphic side...
greetings[|)]

Go to the astral consciousness forum, there is a sticky post "astral locale"...exactly what you're looking for !

I really love this forum and especially how open, friendly and responsible the members are ! Thank you ! I'll stick in there for a while if you don't mind...[]

Ah...i saw one of these skulls at the museum of enthropology in Paris, but couldn't touch it of course...
Unfortunately, i wasn't in crystal gazing yet, so i didn't attempt to gaze into it...[B)]

[]
Thank you for all the kind answers ! I understand and am agree
with both of you ! No conspiracy but more work to do [B)]
Hehe...
thank you, i'll try to be less sensible to any external stimulis...

wow
I tried the "blue and orange" technique yesterday and i reached a higher level than before, i didn't OBE but felt the vibes and my body floated for few seconds...thanks Omega, i think that you have found what works best for me ! I'll stick to this ! [:I] I liked the rope method, but like other members here, i had the "muscular tense" problem when pulling the cord...
anyway, thank you very much [|)]

The final locale needs to have a few more different features as well. We also need the portals to various other realms including the kingdoms of the elements. Such portals do not need to be doors as such, they could be trees or anything else which has been energised as a portal.

Thank you ! I was thinking that we could do a lot inside the pyramide...there is a lot of place in it ! []
But i think that it is better to start with a "virgin" locale, first we go there and meet, then we bring other elements...anyway i'm sure the local will look differents every time we'll go there !
