I do watch a lot of YouTube spiritual videos and wanted to create a thread where we can all share them. I will start this thread off with a comedic one that caught my attention. It's on lucid dreaming.

I have only been a Pulse member for a little over a year now, but have never seen the boards so active. I just wanted to say a big thank you to everybody for the increase in activity! 🙂 It is refreshing to see, and adds so much to the spiritual experience.

Tak, I have experienced that cats do have a higher self, and possibly guides as well. I have also experienced they do come back via RTZ and Astral visits with other cats who have passed. Cats seem to be able to pierce the veil more easily when alive, and also when passed. I may elaborate on this on another thread sometime. They have shown me that the Astral, the RTZ and the afterlife is real and that they are always with us. I try to use these experience to better accept and process human losses.

I haven't killed a bug for a long time as well, unless they are the kind that are destructive, i.e. they eat your house etc... Just because they are tiny, doesn't mean they don't have the right to live here on earth with us. My son has phobias with bugs, so I am very busy with my "catch and release program". 😉 Animals are incredibly drawn to me, as I to them. It does feel like some sort of silent communication going on. They read us and size us up in a moments time. You can see it on their face. They have amazing intuition and they use it, unlike a fair amount of humans out there.

I don't really follow the urges of my ego all too often, and if I do it's not too long before I right the ship. Where I see problems is with others who chronically follow their ego. These are often people of low vibration that are very focused on the physical world and all its superficial "rewards".

Hi Tide2dust,

The Why Files is an excellent channel! Not sure I saw that episode. Will check it out. Here is my favorite one: The Gateway Process.

I would agree that "encounters" appear to be a test of sorts. They seem strategically placed and occur out of nowhere. Is it a test to go forward and feel comfortable doing so or is it a test to decline temptation? Is it really possible to know that answer fully? The things I rely on to size up who I am dealing with is my intuition and do I get the feeling I have known this being forever in spirit or is she a random NPC just tempting me for my energy. I heard this quote once and it made me laugh, that the latter often look at us as a mere "happy meal".

"Pure heart intentions opens doors"... exactly Tak!  I always thought that. That is a foundational prerequisite IMHO to progressing spiritually. Sincerity to ourselves and others (our heart), asking big and meaningful questions, as well as a  sincere drive to learn what's beyond the veil, is all of vital importance. All help increase our vibration and ascension process. Nothing will stop this process faster than low vibrational thoughts, actions and living. Chronically interacting with low vibrational beings and energy vampires in this 3d realm is also very damaging to our spiritual progress. It is very important that this be limited by setting boundaries. After all of the above is attained (and this does not happen overnight, as it can take years or even decades) does energy use and technique come into play. For me, technique and manipulating the energy that I harbored most of my life was the last piece of the puzzle. That and collaborating with the wonderful members here. 🙂

I have experienced random/spontaneous projections for decades. Nothing terribly consistent, but had them. Of late, I have had some direct projections. When trying to achieve orchestrated direct projections, as many have stated, try one technique for 2 weeks then move on if it doesn't work. When you find the right technique "for you" it will be obvious, as getting out is not a laborious event. Instead it becomes effortless and natural. Be sure to look for clues in the form of synchronicities and vivid repeating dreams/indirect projections. This often helps to get on the right path. 

EV is right, all our spiritual experiences are a cumulative process. Sometimes connecting the dots and unraveling their true meaning can take from decades to mere minutes. This is why keeping a journal is so important.

I fell asleep quickly last night. One of the challenges I face is falling asleep too quickly before I have gotten into the scenery or activity of the rundown. If the trance state is not achieved, and I just fall asleep (traditionally) then I simply fall asleep with no activity produced. This happened last night as well.

So this morning, I decided to do a little experiment and do the scenery/motion rundown around 7:00 am vs falling asleep to it at night in trance. What I got is lots of energy and a visual that kept repeating. The visual was not a typical hypnagogic visual, it was different. The energy lasted a good 10 - 15 minutes after I stopped the rundown. The energy was present over my entire body. Once it started dissipating, I noticed the torso was first to go, then the head region, while the hands and feet held onto the energy the longest. Interesting... So doing this in the morning brought activity, just not a projection. Doing this at night while falling asleep continues to be an important part to trigger a projection. Perhaps I need to go to bed more consistently earlier.

As I am also awake at 4:00 am this morning, refreshed. Can't thinks of anything better to do than spending some early morning hours on The Pulse. I see this older post that rings true with a recent visual I had. The hypnogogic imagery I experienced looked like a galaxy, a lit pinwheel shape, spinning and illuminated with white light in the blackness. My first thought was it was energy, or a representation of my energy. But that is also what a galaxy is comprised of (dark) energy, along with visible matter and dark matter. Other than me having a fair share of astronomy classes in college as well as a strong interest in such (which may make me predisposed to such visuals a bit), I can't help but ask why do so many here experience such similar phenomenon and visuals? Of course it is beyond coincidence and there is deep meaning behind it. These are not just random visuals, they are shown to teach us and get are attention to the big picture. When I see and experience such visuals , I don't feel a cold solitude, I think of oneness and that we, all things and the universe are comprised of energy.

Thank you! Glad I'm being helpful. 🙂 Yes, I have read RB's New Energy. I also got the updated digital format RB's Treatise On Astral Projection. I found that even better. It's very inexpensive and worth a look as well at some point. I have not finished it though. I find reading is great and the knowledge gained and associated practice also very beneficial. But I also like the very proactive approach of either Tai Chi or Qigong. The Qigong I do is Wuji Gong developed by Grandmaster Fu Wei Zheng (Emei Qigong). If you can find the DVD it's worth picking up. It helps the physical body but also focuses on the connection to spirit. William Buhlman strongly recommended that anyone interested in OBE or AP should be practicing Qigong [or other energy arts i.e Tai Chi]. Energy work appears to fuel my metaphysics activity, but there are lots of pieces to the puzzle. For me, energy development/work appears to help my ability to trigger activity either indirectly, but most recently directly with phasing. I have really been working on gaining control and precision of metaphysical events. I am not where I want to be yet, but I believe someday I may get there.

As far as the tunnel of light/rings go... that was one of my first metaphysical experiences over 30 years ago. It was similar to what you describe, intermittent whit lit rings passing by me at incredible speed, with a tunnel that was a lit light blue, and white light with a cloud effect. I knew I was traveling far, but ended things when I got nervous I would get lost and snapped back into my body. The feeling experienced was even more overwhelming than the visuals. It felt quite different to me than my energy experiences. It was the most serene, warm, peaceful feeling with pure unconditional love. Why a path through this beautiful tunnel invoked such feelings I can only imagine. I have my theories. Note though, this tunnel event has not been reproducible, as it only happened once.

I was in the Void once due to a medical procedure/medication reaction, which may have been my first metaphysical experience. To me it was like a combination of floating in the quiet blackness of space, and being supported by water. Immensely peaceful, the state of no mind, no worries or concerns, but very different than the tunnel experience (for me). The tunnel experience soon followed, and it felt like being held by the hands of God, taking me to an unknown destination. For me that experience was the send off of all metaphysical experiences to follow over my lifetime.

Woke up many times last night with a series of energy surges with no initiation of activity at all, three or four times. I was very tired so I opened my eyes each time and it ended within a few minutes then went back to sleep. It felt as if my energy body wanted out, as I was "poked" to leave so many times. Remarkable stuff, it's something one can not get used to. As I always, I welcome it, just wish I was more rested.

Condolences for all of your losses. As many of you know, the passing of loved ones, especially my cats, have been one of the biggest challenges I have faced in life. They were that special. Processing their passing pushes our ability to process life in this physical world to the limits, but it can be done. It's always important to have a network of people to talk to, be it family friends or members here. That is of great help. From time to time, I have seen those who I have lost again in the Astral or in the RTZ. They live on, I'm sure of it. But...as LightBeam said, not seeing them in our 3D world still poses a challenge, but things get better.

Most times when I AP, it feels like I am in another realm, not here on Earth. Occasionally I am here, but in a location that I am unaware of.  About a year ago, without any intent, I projected to another country. I was in Greece, and was a Greek civilian. It was a different time though, it was in the past, around the 1920s or 30s.  I was with 4 or 5 people that I knew well, but was blind to the details how. I believe some of these people were Bulgarians. It was a time of war. I knew I had to get them across the border into Bulgaria. We crossed into Bulgaria under the cover of night. It was a huge relief as we were being pursued. I am unaware why crossing the border brought such relief, but it did. We were dressed in period clothing. Felt like I was watching a movie, but was a character in it, and was decision making. When I awoke, I had forgotten that Bulgaria was on the border of Greece, so I looked up the country's location on a map, and there it was, on the northern border of Greece. Interesting... That one stayed with me for a bit.

On another occasion I projected to Costa Rica and once again back in time. I saw my partner on a bike riding in a green grassy field. She was young maybe 5 or 6. I was traveling 10 or 15 feet above her. To my surprise she looked up and smiled at me, apparently detecting my flight above. Another memorable event. Of course the next day I told her of my time travel visit. It was an interesting talk. 😉

Things are progressing rapidly now. The motion rundown at night, just before bed, has triggered blissful energy surges and hypnogogic imagery with remarkable precision and a very high success rate. So much so, that the correlation between the motion and the metaphysical activity is irrefutable.  I learn that you must find the motion event that resonates with your soul, your life your past. Any random motion activity did not work for me. Thankfully I was given this "suggestion" by a recurring vivid projection of this particular activity. This was a very important piece of the puzzle.

A new development occurs. Just being in the "setting" of the rundown motion activity is triggering activity, not just the motion itself. Live it, feel it, hear it, see it, you are there. It's not that you recreate that you are there, make yourself there in every sense of the word. The trance state begins almost immediately. I am suddenly engulfed in blissful energy. I not only feel it, but a I see a representation of it, floating in front of me in the blackness. It looks like a galaxy of swirling energy (see pic). I can almost touch it. Is it a visual of my energy or a location that I am seeing? My intuition in the moment points to energy, but as I think back not completely sure.

Then suddenly "click out" and phase. In a millisecond I go from a snowy environment to a beautiful tropical beach. My waking awareness is high, as I begin my observations. Looks like the movie Valerian's beach scene. Hyper realistic colors and detail. The lighting is unusual and is a giveaway that I am not "here" any longer. Beautiful people are on the beach. I am lying next to them, observing. They are peaceful and content souls. Not a smart phone anywhere, no gossip, no negativity, no worry about the past or future, just people living in a beautiful place in the moment. Very different than the world we live in.

A beautiful woman approaches me, and in an instant (once again) I was aware I knew her forever, but lacked the details of this "knowing". I am allowed to know partially, but not fully of how deep this relationship goes. So content here, such unconditional love, I click back and am fully awake almost immediately, with no grogginess. This is another sign for me that I just projected. I was not thrilled to be back, but extremely grateful for the experience.

Projecting "at will" draws closer. Such control is so alluring. Nothing wrong with random intermittent events, which have occurred all my life, but to trigger such events with precision, fascinates and excites me.

Ah, we can't forget the animals. We have so much to learn from them. They are loyal, content, live in the moment with peace, joy, and unconditional love. I am particularly drawn to cats, such beautiful souls that are closely tied to spirit.

Perhaps adding frequent feature articles, in the form of a blog or otherwise to The Pulse could help. As you mentioned, Google algorithms see that and of course an improvement in the number of visitors that engage.

Adrian, that brings up a very good point. Google algorithms are constantly changing. Even if I search "Astral Projection Forums" The Astral Pulse forum does not come up until the bottom of page 4. This is not ideal. It's best to come up somewhere on the first page, as most people's don't have the patience do read past page 1 or 2. Two other small astral projection forums come up much earlier, which I assume have much less traffic. It appears that some SEO/organic search engine adjustments could greatly improve the Astral Pulse's visibility on Google searches. This in turn should increase traffic. There is still the dilemma that the large amount of lurkers here should contribute and become part of the community, not just readers of the community. The archives are vast, but a sense of ongoing activity would be very healthy for the forum and our spiritual development.

Most mornings I wake up and visit The Astral Pulse forums and it feels like a ghost town, as there is nothing new to read. This is unfortunate. Fellow members, this is a friendly reminder that it is important to not only read posts here on The Pulse, but to comment and contribute as well. In addition, it would be great to see some of the less outspoken members start a new thread now and then as well. All contributions are relevant, productive and helpful, not only to the original poster, but to those commenting. We all help each other to grow spiritually. If the lurkers don't start contributing, at some point there will be nothing to comment on. The ones that do have something to post have less incentive to post if their posts become part of a basically "read only" forum. 

Thanks for reading and I look forward to the anticipated upswing in activity here. 🙂

Watched this episode, at minimum, very entertaining. It's got the kitchen sink in it... psychics, inter dimensional entities, portals etc...

Ok, I need to clarify re the storage of energy. In martial arts and in Qiqong the development and storage of energy takes place on the lower Dantian. It is not just in the root chakra it encompasses the sacral as well (two fingers down from the bellybutton all the way down to the perineum. I think we are more perceptive of the root chakra area but the entire lower Dantian is part of this.

How do we develop the storage of energy and the ability to call upon it... everything you mention can play a role, loving happy thoughts, doing things you love, walking in nature etc... I like to call it high vibrational living (thoughts, actions and how we treat others). This all matters. To take things up many notches, this is where the martial arts and Qigong play a roll. Slow circular motions, and other forms while having an empty mindset all matters. In my particular Qigong, we are suppose to imagine a purple mist rising up from the ground inside and outside of our body, rising up to the lower Dantian area. Another is the light coming down from the top of the universe through the crown chakra then down through all the chakras to the lower Dantian. You can see how this area is of extreme importance. In the martial arts we also practiced Dantian breathing.

In the short term I would like to keep the sport a bit private. I will pm you. I have had the issue of not only a physical distraction from the physical sport's imagery, but a sudden awful headache. I noticed this occurred when my eyes and perhaps very slight physical body participation in the imagery. To prevent this I imagine doing the sport in the state of no mind, eyes stay focused forward and not darting around. It is critical that I don't overthink it and just go with the flow naturally. I am not recreating the sport, I am there! Something special is going on, as the motion activity puts me in a fairly quick and deep trance state in a matter of minutes. If I am not careful I will be asleep within 5 minutes, then awake in 10-20 minutes more. As a control, I intermittently alternated between nights with the sports imagery and nights of just going to bed. Since the breakthrough I can conclude this: no activity is occurring on nights with no sports imagery. On nights with sports imagery it is nearly 90-95% of the time triggering metaphysical activity. This is clearly not coincidence.

As far as thought patterns go, I have had a particular memory or thought trigger energy, and on occasion the thought of the energy alone can start it. Usually that occurs when I do this in close proximity to multiple energy events.

Thank you for your thought on getting exiting once the energy starts.

Here is a nice link on the Lower Dantian

Very interesting how similar our experiences are! As Robert Bruce and Dolores Cannon mentioned energy and it's production/movement is the basis of all spiritual development.

Yes, energy source analysis isn't as important to me as the energy development itself, especially after we have reached a sort of "energy critical mass". This is when I typically gain awareness from sleep. By the time I am aware enough in a waking state (with eyes closed) the energy has engulfed me hitting all primary chakras in the strobe effect state as Robert Bruce elaborates on. The origin of the energy is likely the root (the main storage site of energy), then spills over into the other primary chakras, but I have missed the transition while asleep. The important thing is to have ample energy reserve in the root, and to be able to call upon it and move it when needed. Amazing how this occurs when sleeping all on it's own! 

However, in the daytime when I have experienced a subtle version of this energy it appears to arise throughout my entire body, all at once, with a bit more focus in the torso/heart region. But... this is different than waking up with very high energy surging through my body which has gone critical mass, such as my recent experience with the extreme energy. I agree, with me the energy developed is a key to experiencing the soon to follow metaphysical events. I have also read that strobing the chakras with extreme stimulation can lead to steep spiritual development as well as a sudden psychic development.

Yes, I have had the energy start during daytime meditation, or even after a very brief nap...even dozing off for a few seconds or a minute can trigger it.
When I see lavender or purple, I associate that with very strong stimulation of the crown and third eye chakra. The third eye stimulation creating the hypnagogic visuals or as I like to call it, astral vision. I have seen the purple/lavender sphere or circle as well as a brilliant white circle/sphere that repeatedly fold inward onto itself.

I have always tried various motion imagery events activities (being on a swing, trampoline, elevator, spinning etc...) in the daytime and had any luck. Then I had a repeated very lucid projection 6 or 7 times with full awareness with a particular sport I was very involved with for most of my life. The view of the activity was in the first person point of view every time.  Clearly this was a message and a form of synchronicity from beyond. With a collaborative effort between me and a deeply knowledgeable moderator (LB) here, we figured out the message and it was a spiritual one, notably that that was a key to my continued spiritual development and to implement it with my practices. I was also told to do this every night for 10 to 15 minutes and to fall asleep to it. I was told that results might take up to 2 or 3 weeks. Well, the first night I did this, I awoke to strong energy and hypnagogic visions within 10 or 15 minutes from falling asleep. It now occurs with remarkable consistency. The other night it happened 3x in a row when I did the visuals every time I woke up. By the third time I could create the energy while in a completely waking state with just thinking about the "thought pattern" of the energy as you mentioned.

Now what to do with this energy? I feel like my astral body is loose in this state. Which I have felt before. Ie. When breathing up from my feet the white energy tingles my left leg, and if doing this in a deep meditation I feel my non-physical left leg kicking/moving up and down perhaps 4" above and below the physical leg. This was unnerving at first.

During the extreme energy event, the adrenaline I felt was 100% not from fear. 

Once this energy forms with me, if low I will raise it. If strong I leave it be. If there is visual hypnagogic imagery I passively observe. If scenery I try to slowly enter without too much focus. With the energy I try to shift my consciousness elsewhere, if that doesn't work, I spin on an access. Most of my projections and OBEs are indirect and spontaneous, but I feel I am getting very close to this energy triggering a direct method exit.

Please describe how you do the final exit once you are experiencing high amounts of systemic energy. Thanks...

Very nice how you were successful at contacting her. I have tried that many months ago, perhaps I will revisit that. My visit was similar in that no words were spoken even telepathically, but I knew the deep rooted bond just being in her presence.
