I had a listen to Paul Collier.  His music is very relaxing and he has a lot of stuff available to listen to on youtube.  DJ Vishnu's stuff is good too.  I enjoy listening to the beats and tones that have background music.  I especially like the rhythmic patterns found in Shamanic stuff and I could listen to the Didgeridoo all day long!  There is just something addicting about that instrument!

I really want to get full sleep paralysis, but that is easier said than done from my experience. Since it has never stopped me acting out my dreams.

Try Bedeekin's pre nap technique. It works very good!  

Thanks, I will give it all a shot and see if I can find some other gems I might have missed.  

In my post made on September 17th 2015, I posted 4 links to other techniques I have used that had favorable results.

Also, in that "Phantom Wiggling" thread I use not only a "6pt Tetrahedral based focus", but also a simple "simulation" based on driving as well. Both of them are very good with learning more about our "etheric" bodies and energy manipulation in general. Many times just simply practicing them can hold your focus so long that you find you have already shifted without being aware of that fact. They are basically something you could use to "pass the time". I find that doing nothing for a hour while awaiting a shift can be pretty boring. I like to use motion based focuses to keep me busy.

 Awesome! 

The first two pictures look similar to areas, (especially that "Cathedral/Hospital" like building), that I have arrived at with whoever I had "retrieved", during a "Retrieval". (You can look up the word in the search engine here for more on that).

The next being the lands of Pyramids, been there too. Most people that know me here can attest to my "love" for Pyramids. You should see our home, lol! 

 I love Binaural Beats and Isochronic Tones and I do use them often. I find them to be a fantastic form of "Brain Entrainment".

My favorites for Bin beats are anything that has a background musical composition to it. Paul Collier does a great job of this. So, does Jurgen Ziewe. You can "google search" those names if you wish. Paul has a fantastic free playlist over on YouTube. Jurgen's beats are free too.

For Iso Tones, it's DJ Vishnu's Meditation series. Every one of those is very good. The last time I checked, you needed to give your email address to access them for free, which I really hate doing. But, I didn't receive any "spam", so that was okay!

@3, are you referring to 'the doorway'? or are there others you can point me towards? I have just found your post and will start using this technique as part of my daily ritual.

"The Doorway" is a great practice to learn how to hold your focus during the act of Phasing. Which is also known as "noticing". In that, you jumpstart a visual and keep with it as it continues to morph. Your focus is then "there' instead of here.

The "Phantom Wiggle" is based on "disassociation". Every day you practice simple things, that begin with you closing your eyes and reaching out to things with your "etheric" body. Ex: The tree in the backyard is about 100 feet form my window here. I can see it. So to practice a disassociation technique, I would close my eyes and reach out to it or will myself to it. I would then feel the bark, the leaves. Look at the ground etc. By doing this I am using a visual, but more focused on the "tactile" part of this. I get a "dual awareness" whereas I still feel what my physical body is experiencing. Another good one is simulating a driving experience or a Rollercoaster ride, oaring a boat, etc. In each of those you almost instantly feel the motion.

Through the years here I have create threads with all kinds of fun techniques. under my current name "Lumaza" and my former name "Lionheart". Be creative. You need to find what kind of focus works for you. Time to do some experimenting. Just make sure you give each tech a "honest go", before you move onto the next. You can start with something I do, but then alter it to what you like.
There is no "Blueprint" here set in stone!  

as for your example of bees, I don't fear them but I never liked them since I was young and was stung in the ear, and had to get cigarette ash rubbed in it by family members, and every since I try to avoid them or kill them on site tho it is sad they are endangered now. I am sorry for that.

See what I mean? That was your own personal experience. So seeing a bee in your Dreams would create a negative impact or emotion. Whereas it would differ in another that "loved" bees. The image of a bee in their Dreams would always portray that positivity. Depending on the context that is.

Kurt says a Dream Journal is a great way to bring that "symbolism" and the feelings behind it, into actual words.

 I just re-read Bedeekin's initial post here for about the 80th time, lol. I did come across something there that mentioned the "short focus meditation".
"If SP is entered involuntarily it has usually gathered enough hypnogogic (subconscious) thought to contain more hallucinatory qualities. If SP is induced by using a short focused meditation the hallucinatory qualities will be less evident and the sensations can be viewed (or ignored) objectively."

Now, in my experience, what I see this as, is instead of Phasing into the "other realms" beginning with more of a "visual application" based focus, instead you keep conscious of what your physical body is doing as well. I would say in that case, some kind of "Progressive Relaxation" would suffice. Maybe some energy movements, (Phantom Wiggling) as well. This would keep you still aware of what your physical body is doing, thus you would be still experiencing the physical signposts (SP) as well.

With phasing, your focused will is so much into the visualization and imagery you are seeing, that you become totally immersed in "that" scenario and that you haven't the foggiest or at the time you don't care, what your physical body is experiencing.

I still awaken SP quite a bit. But it is all spontaneous. I have even had nights where I became consciously aware of the "Astral Winds" approaching and then the SP began lightly and strengthened until I finally found myself "out" of my body.
Other times, I become aware I am in full SP and my feet feel like they are being touched, then raised. Then very soon I feel pulled out and zipping down my hallway and out my patio window. Once out my window, I am in another "realm". I guess that is the chosen Portal at that time!

 I belief our Brain is the "interface" or the filter to which we experience things through. This would make sense if a person that encounters a major trauma all of a sudden has some kind of "enhanced" ability. Their filter or interface was interrupted and some times even re-wired during their traumatic experience.

But there are 2 different forms of "smarts". One being the text book intelligence and the other being "common sense". I have met quite a few people that have one, but not the other. I think that might have to do with the "right brain/left brain" equation though.

 Hmm, for some reason I missed this thread.

Your first answer is you had experienced a "non local state of consciousness". You can call that a LD/OBE, Phase, etc. But as long as you weren't focused here on this immediate physical realm, the term fits.

Your first attempts show that you still haven't learned to control your fears. Because of that, you are experiencing "self imposed" blocks. Swallowing, some kind of panic on what kind of ladder is proper, etc.

You got better with practice, as will happen. You learned to relax and "allowed" the experience to go further.

Your title "Slight success" on Attempt 21-25 is misleading though. You found some form of learning and success in every attempt. In other words, you gradually got better. That's progress and success in a nutshell.

Now to your follow up questions.
1. Yes, you do it every night, but you aren't consciously aware of that fact. You can learn how to stay conscious well into the Dream cycle. The Tibetans' call it "Tibetan Dream Yoga".
2.Yes you can access the Source. First you need to go through a learning curve. In other words, you need to walk before you can run. A focused will and Intent is everything in this practice. Thought = action instantly over "there". So, you must learn to control your thoughts. Then there is also learning how to "navigate" and "be" over there.
3. Keep doing what you are doing. I love using "motion related" techniques. I also have some techniques for learning helping you learn to "disassociate" yourself from your body. You can practice there daily and they do really help.
http://www.astralpulse.com/forums/welcome_to_astral_consciousness/how_exactly_do_you_perform_the_phantom_wiggle_method-t44583.0.html
4. My only answer to your last question is "Change your mindset, you change your reality". You will learn that things here in the physical aren't really what you thought they were. Your NP experiences will show you things that will challenge your beliefs. Keep a open mind. Once you think you have all the answers, school will be over. That doesn't mean that you "graduated" though. It just means that you are content where you are and that is where you will stay. I find that opening your mind to more will mean that you will still be taught more!  

You are doing great. You are going about this like a true Researcher and Explorer. When you get there, learn to "observe" before you question something. You can question it later. There is a lot to observe!  

UFO: To see an UFO in your dream signifies your desires to find your spiritual purpose in life. Alternatively, it indicates that you are feeling alienated from those around you. The dream may also be a metaphor that you are acting "spacey" or "spaced out". You need to be more grounded and come back to reality

Bus: To dream that you are riding a bus implies that you are going along with the crowd. You are lacking originality and control over where your life is taking. Dreaming that you are driving a bus means that you are a group leader and a trend setter. If you are driving a stolen bus in your dream, then it means that you are taking drastic measures to get control of your destiny. You are refusing to go along with the system.

interpretations thanks to dreammoods.com

hope this helps.

The problem with websites like that are that is "their" interpretation, but not necessarily yours. Kurt Leland has a fantastic technique to create your own "personal" Dream Dictionary. That way through many experiences you can learn to discern the message yourself. You can find all that info in this section this subsection he calls "Crash Course".
http://kurtleland.com/dream-interpretation/crash-course

The reason I say that is because of your own life's experiences with the "symbol". Example: A Bee. Do you like it's color, the buzzing, the grace of it's flight or have you been stung a number of times and fear them. Only you can tell that.

What is the protocol of this "short focus meditation" to induce SP please ?

All of those techniques are in the Stickies found here: http://www.astralpulse.com/forums/welcome_to_astral_consciousness-b30.0/

I think the one that Todd meant was Bedeekin's "pre nap" technique. http://www.astralpulse.com/forums/welcome_to_astral_consciousness/fantastic_obe_technique_bedeekins_method-t31819.0.html

  I do want to say though, that not everyone experiences exit symptoms and other signposts during this practice.

Well speak of an "advanced APer" and he appears! Lumaza, you salty old dog! Caution, I'll be PMing you *que unnerving scene score*

Advancement in any field of Research comes from a result of loyalty, dedication and commitment. I like to think of myself as a "dedicated practitioner". 

I had a dream of astral projection a few months ago. I was lying in bed in my childhood home, and lifted up out of my body and through my old bedroom window. I then experienced a loss of awareness, as I only remember reentering the house after awhile. Then I saw two men, who I identified as "agents" (classic CIA/Secret Service/Matrix-style agents); they appeared to be unable to see or hear me, and were both searching for something—one in the kitchen, rifling through a drawer, and another on the patio, beating a rug or something and examining the debris that fell from it, looking for something.

IF we were on a "Ufology" based Forum, your description here would be labelled a classic "Alien Abduction Case".

I have had many of these "pulled" put of the body scenarios. I even had one where I got pulled out by my feet, and then I was corkscrewed upside down through my ceiling. I had to abort the consciously awareness there. It was too much of a system overload to handle.

You can read about it in this thread here. My name at the time was "Lionheart". June 27th 2013
http://www.astralpulse.com/forums/welcome_to_out_of_body_experiences/everything_you_could_ever_want_to_know_about_sleep_paralysis-t38734.50.html

What really happened? I still am not sure. I definitely feel that I was "taken" somewhere.  It was my consciousness that was "abducted", not my physical body. It felt like my body though. But that would go against the laws of nature and science.

And that these dimensions are also part of the vast Isness to be explored rather than feared?

Dimensions are part of the vast "Isness" and they can also be explored. But yes, you must learn to handle your fears to proceed forward. Go in with a "Indiana Jones" explorer mentality and you will be led ever deeper into the "Otherworlds".

I think you should stop talking to those people...  

I agree 100% with Xanth here!

If and when you finally have your first totally "conscious" experience, you are going to not like what you see. Your fear will instantly turn to reality with a simple thought .

You need to stop focusing on the negative aspects of this. Change your mindset, you WILL change your reality!

 

I can generally agree with that. All I am saying is that suffering is only needed enough to get us back to no minimal or no suffering. If you look at the Buddhas Noble Eightfold Path there is nothing in there that says that bad things or suffering is good and a part of the path. I'll tell you what if you can show me where the Buddha or a master of meditation actually accepts suffering or bad things as an end goal unto itself then I will gladly reconsider by doing more researching. No hard feelings man.

One word, "Death". Look up the way they prepare for death and it's suffering. They call it "Transitioning" for a reason and they don't see that as a bad thing either. It's part of their everlasting evolution!

 Plasma, I apologize for replying here. I thought you would understand what I was trying to say, but I guess you still don't.

Myself and others here have attempted to aid you in seeing things in different light. But you still refuse to notice this for some reason. Allow your mind to open/broaden and you will finally be able to understand the whys, whats and hows of the Multiverse and consciousness itself.

Things have more meaning when they are learned and experienced by "you" yourself. There are only so many piece of the puzzles that other people can help you put together. But you are never alone. Help is always there from your higher self/guides when it is needed. You just have to learn to listen to and heed what they have to say! 

The bad things in life make you stronger! They are a necessity in the growing and evolving process.

 Truthfully I believe our incarnations have nothing to do with Karma. It's all based on experiencing and what we learn from those experiences.

I also believe that the ones that suffer the most are the "oldest souls" to be found. If you had a choice in your first incarnation, what would your life be like? Riches, fame, looks etc. Now go to your last incarnation, maybe it would be being poor in a 3rd world country, handicapped, diseased, etc. In the end though, those are all experiences and that's what grows consciousness itself.

Plasma, it sounds like you want to live in some kind of "protective" bubble. God/your higher self/guides allowed you to do those careless things because that's the way we learn. If there was no dark, we wouldn't know what light is. But we learn more from the darkness then we do the light. We normally take advantage of the light.

While on the road I have come across many people that had major loss in their lives. One show I did in Nebraska, I had a friend that had lost his home to a devastating Tornado. The first few years was all stress and sadness for them.
I talked to him 10 years later and their whole attitude had changed. The guy now said that if it wasn't for the Tornado destroying their lives, their lives wouldn't have improved like it was today. The man had a beautiful new home, new job and even a new wife. But now, he was at peace. From the chaos, came order. As it always does. That devastating Tornado forced the change that he was always fighting. But in the end, he looks at it in a whole different light.

 Welcome Kusuri! 

You won't always have "sign posts" when you attempt to shift. You did in the beginning. But sometimes people do earlier on, then never will feel vibrations, hear noises or anything like that again. I believe it has to do with adjusting to frequency. At first you need to, but once you are "in tune", the vibrations aren't there anymore.

When I find myself "stuck", I return back to the basics. That usually fixes the problem.

Start with some simple daily affirmations showing your intent. You could then follow it up with a month of Binaural Beats or Isochronic Tones. They work wonders for "entrainment".

I have a simple technique here in a thread that works really well too. It occupies your focus enough for the shift to occur. The technique can be as simple or complexed as you wish. On page 2, I simplify it down quite a bit. Just the basics, but it works.
http://www.astralpulse.com/forums/welcome_to_astral_consciousness/the_doorway-t46013.0.html

 We have all come here to "experience". The good, bad and ugly are all experiences. Like Xanth says, your intent, or the way you handle those experiences is what creates Karma.

The next time you come here, it will be the same and the next and so on. Experiences come in all shapes and sizes and can and do fill up many lifetimes.
