I woke up with the knowledge that my astral body was lose,so I rolled out with no feeling of vibrations that I would normally have. The room was dark and I walked through the bedroom door down the stairs and through the downstairs wall. I found some resistance going through the wall but managed it.

Found myself in a very familiar environment that I recognised from earlier travels.

There were distractions around me but I wanted to focus on changing my environment. I thought of when I was in the Maldives so thought of that destination.

I said to myself when I close my eyes I'll open them and I'll be in the Maldives, so I tried. I tried with real intent and desire but found myself in the black void.

It was very dark, so I waved my arm around and could smudge the darkness almost like an etch a sketch on a new scenery. But soon after my experience ended.

Question: how can I have even more intent and desire to change things in the astral and still not get results?

Thanks

Hi all, I had an ootb last night,the 3rd in 2 nights a record for me, but to the point. When I Have an ootb i have goals that I want to achieve and try to when I can. Without going through the whole experience I can tell u that I repeat to myself awareness clarity and energy over and over to gain more awareness etc, and it works.

I exited my physical body by stepping out, walked through my bedroom door down the hallway down the stairs to my front door all the time repeating my mantra. Standing at my front door of my house I wanted to walk through the door into my front garden, so I said into my garden and ended up some where else when I walked through my door.

It was dark initially so I asked for light repeatedly and it became light. As I Have said I have goals and one of them is flight. I look up and see stars and clouds and I want to fly there so I put my arms like superman and start to fly on my command but I cant get any height maybe 6 feet or so.

I try with determination to get higher but can't. I know that there is no gravity and I even said to myself"im going to ignore how high I fly" so I wasn't scared but just couldn't fly how I wanted.

My question is why didn't I walk into my front garden instead of somewhere else ie RTZ and also why can I fly a little but not how I wanted to even with real desire to do so? Do u have issues with fight?

Thanks any answers appreciated

Around 10 years ago I started practicing astral projection. I got to the stage where, I had the vibrations, even sat out of my body looking at a bright light but was too tired and went back to sleep, though most time I would wake up with sleep paralysis, that I was too scared, thinking it was demonic, so I stopped trying out of fear.
Any reason why I might have hit a wall?

Hi as explained preconceptions can have a detrimental effect on your astral attempts and labeling experiences negatively will only hinder your progress, even though you're progress isn't what you'd like.

Depending on what where you read info on how to progress will give you different experiences. For me I mostly project after waking up in the middle of the night, been awake for a while and finally nod of back to sleep. It's at this point im aware of my astral vehicle or whatever u want to call it and project.

10 years ago you started this, well for me persistence is the key. Changing techniques can help and even discussing ap or being on here can trigger an event.

I mention 10 years because I first started projecting or being aware of what was happening was when I was a teenager, now in my 40s and last night was possibly the 2nd and 3rd time I've projected in 10 months. You can go very long periods with no success.

I repeat to myself daily of what ill think to myself once in the astral, I say "awareness clarity and energy or ACE and after last night's experience this is something that helped me focus.

After being awake for a while I drifted off. Soon I Was aware of mild vibrations and stepped out of my physical body. I walked through my bedroom door and then everything just faded.

I was very aware of what was happening but didn't say my ACE until my next attempt not long after on the same night. Again I became aware and stepped out of my body walked straight through my door all the time saying awareness clarity energy now, saying this was automatically done as I say this in the RTZ daily.  I walked down stairs with the intension of going outside through my front door, at This point things faded.

So 2 in 1 night when I had nothing for nearly 1 year. . Be persistent and u will achieve your goal, and get rid of labelling as all these none physical experiences are all the same, in the same realm. .

Good luck

Many thanks for the reply. Will goggle the books and get my head around your reply.

Thanks

So recently I've been doing compassion meditation focusing on compassion for myself.

OK I've been meditating for years now using creative visualisation, mental house clearing of negativity, affirmations and goal setting but, I've never heard of compassion meditation, I'd like to try it so can you explain?

Thanks

Hi all, I'm interested in your own experiences as this is the first time this had happened to me.

As usual fell back to sleep after waking up in the middle of the night, but before I went back to sleep I primed my mind with a few thoughts of what I wanted to happen i.e. to project Etc. I told myself to recall that I'm in the NPR and that I'll repeat ACE awareness, clarity and energy now once there.

Fell asleep then I became aware that my physical body had vibrations, that's fine I thought and let it go then what followed was that I was in a void with awareness of what was happening and what I wanted to occur. I asked for
Clarity and energy then found myself in a living room setting or something similar. But then I found that my further dedires were not happening.

I tried really really hard to transport myself to my front garden but also found that the walls are solid and had difficulty passing through them. Couldn't transport myself but felt as If I was in a kind of limbo, my clarity wouldn't improve energy was lacking and I couldn't move from my location, feeling trapped.

I saw a mirror and could see my face which started to distort, soon after things just faded away.

Usually I Can use my commands with intent and they work I.e fly, go through walls, ACE, etc but on this occasion nothing, as this happened to you?

If your body keeps getting stuck there's a possibility you are having doubts at leaving it. The doubt is enough to keep you stuck.
A simple cure is forget you have a body.

Thanks Szaxx on that 2 nights ago I was fully aware of my astral body being loose so I tried to exit. I could only partially come out of my physical body but my legs were like lead, it's the first time I've experiences this. I could move my arms and my upper body to such a point I was really stretching trying to grab hold of my Chester draw at the side of my bed, but to no avail.

I commanded"more energy"but it didn't work. Things faded and then I fully woke up.

I guess thinking of my body can be enough to hold me there, so in the future I'll just visualise myself elsewhere so I don't stay stuck.

Hi all and 458id, you sound like you swolled a book. More lamen terms please and with less aggression if possible. ..

It will work for me someday i've just stopped expecting it to.

Yeah expectation is everything and without it its near impossible. You really have to know it's gonna happen because when it does for me I'll be ready to prolong the journey and achieve my initial goal of transporting myself as opposed to just walking. .

Hi All.

Been a while since I last posted anything. I got some real help from this site after having very little success with conscious projecting. Unfortunately I think I took on too much info at once here and the very little experiences I was getting seemed to just vanish. It was advised (can't remember who but I think it was a moderator) that I was trying too hard so I haven't been back since today. I also stopped trying various methods for a while and went back to my reading of metaphysical literature (a few Seth books and Tom Campbell).

My mojo is back and I can now at least get back to the Vibrational stage (or the bouncy stage I call it). This stage usually is followed by me just riding it out and continuing to try and thoughtlessly 'observe' but sorry so say the exit methods haven't worked for me yet. This is where I fall alseep and usually have intense dreams but i'm not consciously aware of the state.

Recently however (3 times now) I have had Lucid Dreams. Now I'm slightly dissapointed that I didn't have the conscious leaving the body sensation and floating around the room I'm sleeping in, but I consider this a great step forward.

Im my last Lucid Dream I did not leave the body and was already in the dream state when my consciousness knew what was happening. I did a test by looking for my limbs which I could clearly see then touching my fingertips together to see if I could feel which I could. I couldn't however control any movement and I seemed to be static floating about 12ft in the air in the middle of a beautiful Park with white coloured trees. The clarity was awesome!

I've started doing a dream journal and the frequency of dreams (I can actually remember) has increased. Now I feel that I have made progress even though it's all subjective. I'm still dubious that Lucid Dreaming is projection (or a non physical reality experience) and lets face it at the end of the day it is only dreams I have experienced but I'm happy with this for now.

My real aim is to be able to leave the body and roam my local environment. I've even asked my wife to put a symbol/number/word on top of a cupboard so I can look for it during projection and test the results. But for now I just wanted to say thanks to everyone here that gave advice and pointed me in the right direction.

***Cheesy Cliche warning*** My journey continues.

cheers All.

Hi Paul this can be really frustrating when you don't get results after such a long time and no matter what you do nothing seems to happen, but persistence can pay off.

For me just as one of the moderators as mentioned on here ALL NPR experiences are just that, the only difference from a 'dream'astral projection'night mare or however you want to label it is your level of awareness and control that you are able to take in my opinion.

The reason I say this is because of my own experiences and the level of awareness that I've had to exert in order to progress, and this I have.

You mentioned about the RTZ real timezone or the here and now, well I believe if you have the intent to be in the RTZ you can, from whatever local you are in, but you have to have the awareness to do this.

The following is from my own experience.

For the best part of a year I would say I've had little or no astral experiences dreams yes but with no awareness, I think now I may have crossed a bridge. I mediate every day and use affirmations and creative visualisation, one being I see myself rolling ootb walking through my bedroom door and transporting myself outside my house. For months I'd programmed myself for this to happen once asleep sometime in the night. Twice in the last 4 nights I've had much more success.

3 nights ago I became aware my astral vehicle was lose from my physical, so I rolled out onto the floor stood up and walked straight through my bedroom door. The I  said awareness clarity and energy NOW 3 times and that's what I got while standing outside my bedroom. I then said "outside now" while looking at another bedroom window, meaning to just appear outside my house. Then a funny thing happened. I kind of got sucked into the window and appeared in an alice in wonderland environment where a doll like figure started talking to me. Don't ask me what she was talking about because I have no idea. Things faded and that was the end of that.

Last night I had the same awareness, rolled out then opened my eyes, saw my bedroom door and Walked straight through it but unfortunately that was that.

What I've learned is persistence pays off and that once I am aware I will try harder to transport myself outside my house with even more insistence and after each try I remember what I did last time as I've programmed myself for it to happen.

I hope that my experience can inspire you to never give up. Looking forward to my bed and another but longer astral journey. .

"Their" answer is probably the best and most convenient solution. Because, essentially, every drug is really just a poison. As soon as you do a drug, it stays in your system. LSD usually leaves your system within 24 hours, but some changes, such as changes in the brain/perception, and certain chemical changes stay with you for years. No one can heal you but yourself. Best way to go about doing that is some kind of meditation. No, "healing energies" will not take poison out of your body, but it will reduce stress, which is the best thing for you right now. If your stress levels are too high, your brain will release the poison that is still in your system, and you will potentially hallucinate again, even without putting more poison in your body.

Hi I understand you saying that drugs can be in your system for years and to help myself I should meditate. I do mediate and done for years to cope with that and my health in general and it has worked but it's never gone away.

Must admit when I have been stressed I visually may see things change but nothing dramatic. I do whoever feel more uneasy and  have done anxiety wise since my last trip when I'm stressed.

I would like to think that after all these years of exercise and meditation I would be able to flush it out of my system, a doctor may be the answer.

Thanks

It sounds like you have a longer persistence of vision.

I would agree with the above but. .
If so it's normal and nothing to worry about. There's always the option to get profession help too.
I had an eye test recently and being older than you was expecting some bad news. I came away with reading glasses. However I've always had a long persistence of vision.
Night sight is excellent once you let your eyes adapt to the dark.
sound familiar.
As an experiment you need a darkish room and something with a light on it that's quite small. The TV remote if it lights up or a lit cigarette will do.
Make a large circle in front of you repeatedly where you can see the light you're holding.
you should see the light clearly in your hand and another one following on behind, it's disconnected ftom the real source in your hand but it's there following on. This is perfectly normal, It worried me some years ago and thinking the worst I got it checked to the amusement of the doctor. If the light was still and tiny but bright and a large hazy smear was surrounding it then thats one good reason for a professional check to be made.

You see is not normal at all what i see. After my mad final session where I was drinking smoking and took LSD for the final time my vision changed for the longest time as it is now. Before then even after my other trips my vision would go back to normal when my trip was over, this time it didn't.

I see more than 2 images of everything and I'd be guessing to tell you what numbers I see. I move my finger in front of my eyes and much less than half a second will pass with many little fingers trailing behind.

Blidge,
I'm sorry but would you elebarate in your visuaal capability when you were smoking only cannabis?
I myself I'm a 'not so former' smoker, but one of the main things is after a while of smoking too much in a day, my eyes perception would fail and I would loose momentaniusly or for the rest of the 'high' the perception of deepness of things and scenary. I would had to look somewhere where focus could be attained easy.
Did somethings like this was ever experienced by you? if so, does it remain/has become better/worse?

Is it something you could cure/repare with a Laser operation?

Thank you

Hi Rakkso,
I had no visual issues when just smoking cannabis and when I took LSD I would have visuals that would fade away as the drug wore off. So no issues at all when smoking alone, that was never a visual problem for me.

I actually recall when it happened or rather what caused it specifically.  One Night I had LSD cannabis and alcohol in one go, very silly but I was young and experimented. Since then my vision was changed. But even though I struggled, as I've gotten older is something that I lived with and still notice but doesn't trouble me as much.

No laser surgery isn't the answer. The alteration cannot be fixed via laser as I understand from my research into this over the years.

I'll have to summon healing energy I think.

Thanks

Thanks astralzombie

Have had a read and it's something I never knew even had a condition name, but the diagnosis and symptoms are exactly what I've had in my visual case. One drug that is mentioned is primarily used for other conditions but can have some severe side effects. Taking a drug like that is not my thing since it still would be an experiment with no guarantee of a cure so to speak.

I'll use the visual diagrams as mental focus as to what my eye health wise should look like without the damage inside. 

Thanks

Hi all im hoping that whatever help i can receive will help with healing that I need.

Like many teenagers I experimented with drugs at a young age around 16yrs. First cannabis then mushrooms LSD followed until I was about 22 or so.

Too much of anything drug related can effect you and for me my vision was effected. For many years I've used dream analysis to find out what's wrong with them. One dream gave me a verbal message saying I had LSD poisoning after asking the question.

To give you an idea of what I can see in normal life, do you recall the Kate Bush video of wethering heights from around 1980? She was dancing waving her arms leaving trails behind here, trails is what I see when anything moves infront of my vision, not real bad but bad enough.

I mediate and use creative visualisation and send healing energy to my eyes with positive affirmations. But, I'm now 46 and am trying again to improve my vision, can anyone help collectively please.

Over the years I've had to cope with what I've got and had given my confidence a knock but I can't give up. I want normality. .

Thanks

I tried HEMI-Sync to assist me in AP but when I find myself losing feeling of my body I start to get scared and I feel anxiety rushing over me. How do we conquer this sensation? I am scared that if I leave my body I will be confronted with my worst fears and anything untouched lying in my consciousness.  How do we move past this?  I will try that to AP. Where can I download it?

Scared anxiety and how to conquer it, to tell you the truth it's something you try and not focus on and place your awareness elsewhere. Easier said than done but they're are numerous techniques to achieve this. Me personally have always had an AP strangely after I've been reading before I sleep or have really focused on a projection before I sleep and then happens when I've slept and then become aware of vibrations in my body.

I've tried focusing my awareness when the vibrations start but it always seems to get the best of me, so being aware after and during my sleep is easier for me. 

I downloaded it just through a goggle search or you can buy it very cheaply via verham main site.

You will get there just keep having the intent and fear is normal.

Hi sacolucci, check out the verham system. For me it's the easiest method to achieving some results and I've used many methods over the years from being a teenager when I had my first projections.

All dreams, lucid dreams, projections are all NPR non physical realities, the thing your missing is the awareness and control so you can do as you please. It's takes time and patience but do a search on pulse and you will find a mountain of pages re projection and how to get out.

There's a free pdf called out of body experiences, the verham energy system so check out it.

Good luck

Before we start, I shall say that I video'd myself meditating.

Hello, A couple of months ago, I attempted some meditation. I started meditating, got relaxed ect. While 3-5 mins through the meditation, I felt my head sway back and fourth, Back and fourth, then it started to sway side to side, I was aware of it. I ignored it and you know when you close your eyes and see full blackness, I looking further into the blackness, It felt like the room was getting bigger and bigger. Until, I become a aware someone was standing infront of me, Moving back and fourth, whatever it was it was right near my face. So, about 7 minutes into the meditation I decided to stop.

I played the the video back to see what exactly happened. I was completely normal, My head was not swaying on the video and there was no person in front of me. What do you think?

Hi lillymoon,

everytime i meditate for long enough i feel my astral body, energy body etc swaying. Ive not yet managed to project fully from a meditative state but more from being aware from initially being asleep, but the more you practice the closer you get and good luck.

Hi Enigmatik,

They say you must practice practice prepare and go through one of many techniques out there to achieve success. But one thing that I did on Saturday night enabled me to have my flying experience in the stars that I did last night as well, that's reading views story's on pulse before going to bed.

What I mean to say is having thought processes in your mind having read about just before going to sleep and it being on the mind can help to trigger a projection, similar to what I had just last night.

After Szaxx gave me his solution well that then played on my mind as an intent at my next opportunity. Last night I fell asleep after reading his reply and find myself at home facing a mirror. I knew I was projecting and was going to do my usual thing and walk through the main wall to out side, but I said to myself," I can transport myself and not bother walking.

So looking in the mirror remembering what Szaxx said and tried to will myself to appear outside. In the mirror an image appeared of a place but my will wasn't quite strong enough and it pretty much ended there. But what I learnt was that if your real determined and focus harder as I will do next time I will succeed. And also the idea intension is in my mind for next time.

Any knowledge u can bring with you when projecting can only help. .

Thanks for the reply.

The intent and really mean it is what I'll remember to do. Like u said the same can apply to fear so I'll bere this in mind.

Thanks

Hi all,

Ive had many experiences over the years and this is just another.

I was laying in my bed and the next thing i was getting out of my bed and walking towards my hallway trying to get away from my physical body so i didn't get snapped back right in. I sent some healing energy to my physical body as Ive read that you can help to heal your body once in this state so i tried it. Walked into my bedroom and decided to walk through the wall into my back garden, ideally not getting stuck in the wall or not being able to penetrate it as so many times in the past.


Once through the wall i was floating and then started to descend to the ground, i told myself that there was no gravity and to stop falling and i did.

To my left appeared a dog that started to bark at me, i stroked it and became friends. A thought went through my mind that i wanted to travel to space as i always do but have always had problems leaving earth. The dog," said just say go" to fly to the stars, so i did.

Next we were flying in space passing planets and solar systems that looked cartoon like, i wanted to see a black hole and as we approached it i didnt want to get to close, scared of where we would end up inside the black hole, then the experience ended.

My questions are how can we create an experience that we want? meaning all my experiences are all different and i know Zanth has suggested that all NPR experiences are all astral. But, i feel a difference from a lucid dream, RTZ and a normal dream and also a projection like the above.

But id like to have some kind of control of the experience that i have, is there a way? I have used clarity now and awareness now, but for those times when more awareness is needed to change the present reality.

thanks for any feedback   

you say I have a massive head start, how? And how can I use this?

hi curiouser and what a good read that was, I'd be really excited having experienced that. I'll expand on my interpretation of the above. I and many others spend years trying to achieve what you seem to find easy especially with all the differing techniques out there, it's kind of fallen in your lap.

It stilliisn't easy me when I try and project for it to happen with complete success so for you to be where you are big congratulations.

How can u use this? Well think of it as absolutely any thing you've ever thought about no matter how mad wild etc you can have in this state, it's literally your imagination the limit.

Read up using this site.

Happy travels out there.

Hi astral girl, yeah consciously projecting is hard enough without inherent fears troubling you. Work them out by knowing you are safe first of all and nothing can harm you unless you believe it to be so.

Don't listen to other negative stories as everyone's experiences are different and is your imagination and will desire which makes it true to you.

There's lots of useful info on here to populate your mind with positivity but affirmations are good.



Happy travels for when your ready

Thanks astralee music is something I've never thought of and would take my mind set away from the physical. Even when I'm relaxing listening to music it takes me away, so it makes sense. 

I'll repost a comment when I next try.

 

Mmmmm, focus on anything thats not physical body related.
Passive is a key....

Thanks for the reply and I guess it's just something I'll have to get used to re focusing on the mental rather than physical. 

On the vibrations I've read that the more times you go through the sensation the less u feel it I.e. because u get more used to the energy rushes and are able to ride the storm so to speak?
