Hi all, I've been projecting for some years mostly in my younger days and some in recent years but what methods do you use to distract your mind from vibrational energy fluctuations? Meaning taking my mind some where else until I have achieved separation?

I've tried focusing on my breathing, me standing else where in the house I.e. Another location, imagine levitating,  forcing my astral body to roll out but not completely successful. The vibrations always seem to distract me, any ideas? ?

Last night I awoke up around 3am after going to bed at 11pm. I lay there and thought to myself that I would try SP so I did. Went to the loo so as I settled down with no physical discomfort I completely relaxed every muscle in my body.

25mins or so well, it felt as if it was that length of time went by and I had already noticed that most of my body was numb. My thoughts swung from imagining myself standing beside my bed then at my bedroom door all ths while willing myself to exit. I looked at the blackness behind my eye lids to see if I could evoke any Hypnogogic images, but no i couldn't.

Then mild vibrations started around my lower leg area. It felt like a warm feeling and then it shot up to my chest and head area. The feeling was amazing but my heart rate increased my breathing increased and my eye lids started to flutter. While this was happening I kept telling myself to just relax and let it happen. But, the feeling disapated and was near enough gone almost immediately. I lay there for an other 10 mins or so but then turned and fell asleep.

The frustrating thing is that I know what's happening to me but for the life of me I need an effective method to just let it happen instead of doing just the opposite.

Thanks

Being distracted by the sensations can be switched. Use a metaphor that allows the intense sensations to be a form of an energy expulsion process that is working your nonphysical loose. The more intense... the more you are being shook away from your physical. Like a snake sheds its skin.

please explain if possible, lamen terms

I used to wait till the peak calmed down then separated. I used to think I had to. The truth is... as soon as you enter SP you are already nonphysical and how you realise this fact is usually in the form of some sort of 'method' to get out. We are so used to operating in a meat body with apparent substance in a reality that requires cause and effect that we assume when we are logged into 'pure consciousness central' these same rules apply.

You say that you used to wait till the vibrations were over before you would exit, so at what point do you exit now then?I feel even before the energy vibrations come that my physical body is seperate as i can feel numbness literally through my whole body. Guess ill have to master another method of exiting as when ive exited in the past after the vibrations i tend to just role out.

Thanks for the good tip there Bedeekin. ive never really previously tried to wake myself up before i reach REM dream state or purposely had some sleep so i have a better chance of SP but on the occasions i have woke up early ive tried it. usually i wake up for the loo but ill try what youve suggested.

When ive had these they have always unsettled me and the vibrations would usually just fade away and keeping still to induce SP would off been a waste of time as it would come to nothing. Times ive managed to deal with the vibrations are when ive awoken to feel the vibrations just fading so i would become conscious when the vibrations were nearly at the end and then i would exit my body to roam the astral world. On sleep paralysis, how do you cope with the energy vibrations, eyelids fluttering and staying still?

Hi, thanks astrajames, im reading it now and it looks informative, ill see what it says.

thanks

Hi all, ive been doing AP for some years but my experiences are very infrequent and most nights i try to stay awake while my body falls asleep, only i fall asleep at every opportunity, so another fail.

But for those of you out there who try sleep paralysis and then exit, what technique do you use to stay mentally conscious? i could do with some ideas as my afirmations dont seem to be working anymore.

many thanks

This may be helpful. You've described enough that fits the bill perfectly.

Wow thanks.  Will repost once ive read and practiced etc what ive read.
Thanks

I am sure it will happen. Experiment with different techniques if one does not work. But stick with each and practice it consistently for at lest a month. Then move to try another until you find what works for you. Many beginners repeat certain routines for months without results. It should not take that long. I was stuck for years doing meditation at the wrong time of the day and nothing. When attempted William Buhlman's visualization/motion technique while falling asleep, it happened in three weeks. I almost could not believe that it was that easy. So, experiment with techniques, bit try to be consistence for at least a month with each.

I guess my affirmations that worked for me for the majority of my experiences have now seemed to have dried up even though my technique once worked over a period but no longer does. So ill try your way for a month or so then move on.

Been doing this long enough just want the consistency I once had to continue.  Thanks again.

Fascinating and exciting it sound, what an experience.  Thank you for getting back to me.  There are just so many places where I want to travel to and experience and for me I will just have to be patient so I can tell an experience just like yours.

See you on the astral side..
Thanks

Many thanks I will try with real Intent and have a place in mind where I want to be. If I see someone or thing ill investgate and proceed.

One last question.  In my mind I think of all the places where we cant easily get to or visit in waking life such as off our planet, into the heart of a volcano, inside the earth or beneath the ocean.  Do you have any intent to travel to places like that and have you? Id find once im able to have some kind of consistency re projection thats exactly what id do.

Thanks for all your help.

Their posts are older but they wrote them when they first succeeded. I have all kinds of advice on the basics but you have reached the stage where you're so close, that you just need that last piece to fall in place.

Reading and thinking about OOBE will help reinforce your subconscious (I don't like that word) and will probably eventually lead to a spontaneous OOBE.

Good luck.

Yes about 1.5 years ago when I started getting back into it I had far more experiences through reading and talking about it so yes if its in my mind more often and I keep with the research this will help me, thanks.  I know its just a matter of time.
Quick question for you,  when your' out and about' how do you travel? Meaning do you use thought transportation, walk or fly?

when you are in the hypnagogic state and you gain enough awareness to realize that you want to get out, they easiest way to "separate" is to think that you are standing next to your bed. That is my technique when I reach that point. Don't forget, your thoughts are your navigation.

Many thanks for the tip and I do find that if I'm patient enough for long enough images start to appear so I will have the intent of that thought at that point in the future.

Even though in the past every time Ive projected ive managed it through being aware just as the energy vibrations are easing off and at that point I exit, but in recent times even getting to that stage is becoming challenging.

I have another question if you can answer. Upon exiting ive read individuals can just transport themselves to a given destination just by thinking it, I navigate from my bedroom by having to either walk straight through a wall to get outside or my bedroom door. All these efforts tend to lead to loss of projection even though I say out loud"vision now, energy now and clarity now".

My commands work but was wondering are you able to simply transport yourself or do u just walk etc?
Thanks

There are some stickies from some members that detailed their steps to success. Contenteo and PersonalReality come to mind.

Good luck.

Ill have a look for what they suggest, thanks

Hi all, its been a while since I've been on but thought id share my experience from last night. Went to bed at the usual time and woke up in the early hours.  I started saying to myself "im out of body" over and over again. Soon started going back to sleep and as I was I realised that in the blackness behind my eyes I could see a colidescope of images.  These images I could control by desire meaning as my imagination kicked in I could see anything I desired, and did in a tunnel colidescope kind of way.

Through this I could still feel my body in bed but kept enough awareness to keep my visions on going.  I imagined a robot (dont ask why)  and was able to kit it out to look like a transformer like optimus prime all by will, I could make it look how I wanted.
After that a full dream scenario took over which I won't go into.

Ive read somewhere and for the life of me I can't find it now that there is a way of having an ootb while being in an hypnogogic state. Only this time I didn't try to exit my body as the thought never came to me, only afterwards i wish it had. What technique can I use for when I do have the Images again in order to project in the RTZ?

Thanks

Yes,I was APing even before I knew what was happening. This was in the period when I was focused on dream recollection and the techniques in order to achieve this. In fact I've never had a projection using the techniques while awake,Ive always been asleep and then suddenly been aware that my astral self was loose from my physical,role out and then explore .
Until the last year and a half id had no projections for maybe 20+years,why?because I stopped practising and wasn't focused on it. The last year and a bit I have been focused and have had lots of experiences.

Hi,ill give you the short answer you had a projection,something that many on pulse want to achieve but have issues getting to where you have got. But well done even though it gave you a fright but what happened is completely natural and I encourage you to use the same technique again and get more out of it.
Its a world of wonder and even more so for you as you were able to look at yourself,something that I have achieved once but isn't all that common as most will be dragged back into the physical thus ending the projection. Experiencing your own body,chest the way you did is fascinating.
Don't be afraid its wonderful what happened and id like to say congratulations.
I'm sure you'll get more feedback on this.welcome to the other world that exists out there,the Astral..

It's not "time travel" perse... it's not like you can travel back in time to physically change events.

Events have happened and can't be changed.  This is one of the lessons for living in this physical reality that one must accept.

You can, however, view past events.  This is what people experience.

yes i meant visit the event again BUT have the knowledge to know that im not reliving what has happened just viewing it again, but to see if the end result can help shed light on what trauma if any was caused by the seeing the event.
I mention about changing events only if it were possible, who knows what limits there are in viewing events from the past, its all in ones own head after all.

Going back in time to view something as it happened is possible with enough intent and buckets full of experience.
They dont last long either and the recall is pathetic in comparison to a clairvoyant experience.
Hope this shines a light on your endeavours.

This is all i want to be able to do, with enough practice and see if i feel any change mentally.

I definitely don't believe you will be able to change the events in any fashion but if you're ready to put some hard work into it, you can probably change the way you feel. I doubt you will ever forget the events but you may lose the trauma. Your initial feelings will always be there but in time, you may also be able to recall the "better" feelings you had while projecting and if you do this enough times, those feelings can become the dominant ones.

Yeah its more coming to terms with the feelings that i have over a given event in life, a kind of self hypnosis to heal and yes the better feelings about the projection overall.

  This is one of the lessons for living in this physical reality that one must accept.

You can, however, view past events.  This is what people experience.

things that happen in life make you the person that you are, who knows who id be without any/all of the events that have happened in my life.

thanks all for the feedback

I'm still feeling freaky at how relevant this is to your question. Doing this technique has ABSOLUTELY helped me get passed that part of my life. The first couple of times, after I projected directly into this conversation with her, I knew her responses were all from me since she was just a projection of my own mind.  What really caught my attention was her responses because I had never imagined them to be so much in my favor. I don't know how, but I'm positive that I pulled her astral self in and worked it out with her. I wanted to ask her about my ex's hair but didn't want to sound like a stalker. After that time, I've had a lot of closure.

Thanks for the response and am glad it has helped you. It was just something that i thought id throw out there and something that ill give a try using your technique. yes a projection from your mind is what it was, indeed it all is BUT its the resulting feelings that im interested in after projection has ended. i guess a part of your mind changed the conversation to your liking, kind of wish fulfilment and it would of been interesting to find out if her hair had indeed changed. Yes it has answered my query even though there isnt anything really pressing on my mind, but given the opportunity id like to re experience certain events, to be replayed and see if my conclusions are much changed.

Hi, now this question/suggestion may have already been aired on here but i cant find it, so here goes.

I ve read various posts over the years on time travel, different realms, space travel, alien meetings etc, but is time travel actually possible?
possible to the point as to influence the past to change the future for one self?.NO, well i havent achieved this but if and when the time comes that ive been able to have an ootb far more frequently and have longer astral experiences then i may be able to progress to that, till then im posing a thought which id like some feedback on.

While in the astral realm im guessing certain techniques are used for those of you that have time travelled in order to achieve this. so my thought is that if your able to time travel is it then possible to travel back in time to ones child hood? to be the child of then in a certain situation that at the time may have caused some kind of trauma. what i mean by this is think of a time when you were younger or in adulthood that had a real negative effect on you where the mental scares are still prevalent today, and be able to relive those same events but have the sight of mind knowing that you are re experiencing this event to try and change the outcome, is it possible?

If it were there are many times that i would like to go back to and then see how i would feel if events took a different turn,and then see what thoughts id have and if i had changed having relived the events with the events being non traumatic.

Any thoughts? 

Many thanks, it seems that still after all these years its still a struggle to get consistent results. But the results still come,eventually again.

I have to agree with all the above comments.I've tried over the years to help people but I've found myself banging my head as to how often they don't practice but still crave results.I've had maybe 20 experiences over the years but ultimately its up to them to not only read about it but also to practice. But also some people are destined to never achieve it.

I woke up around 6.30am usual time, went to the loo and came back to bed.laying there I had a thought of having an ootb,so started repeating affirmatons,"I'm out of body"again and again.
I felt as if my astral body was loose from the physical so rolled out with a lot of resistance. I willed myself out and onto my feet.
The room seemed the same through my astral eyes but was dark and was getting darker,but as this was happening I thought that even before my journey in the astral had halted,it was about to end. So I repeated over and over again, "clarity now energy now power now".things seem to get brighter in the room so I progressed to the bedroom door. With a determined effort I walked through the door and felt resistance again but progressed to the stairs.
I walked towards my living room door to see my wife who was sat down. Aware that I was having an ootb I tried to get the attention of my wife who saw me but acted as if everything was ok,normal. my thought processes were saying maybe she may just see an outline of me in the physical world and me being in my astral vehicle. But part of me realised that not everything was as it would seem.objects were in place that I haven't got in the physical world. So maybe a dream aspect was influencing what was happening.
I exited through my kitchen window and tried to prelong the experience.
I kept on telling myself that gravity doesn't exist and that I can travel where I want to. Looking up into the dark sky I could see some stars and the moon and told myself I can go where I want to so tried to will myself to travel to the moon,but nothing happened.
I could float and will myself to rise up from the ground but not to the moon etc.
Every night and in the morning I use the same affirmations and haven't had any lucid experiences until now. my last was last September so its nice to again experience something like this again.
Just throught id share this.

much appreciated, thanks for the reply.

I thought i was all on my own on this and no one else had no idea or thoughts on it. This is something that happened again just yesterday, and the thought wasnt directed at me at all. I kind of 'picked up' on what a person was thinking and sure enough he sad exactly what was on my mind. Ill have a look re the links, thanks.

Hi all,just a quick post about something that I've been aware off for probably 2years at least. I know when your close to someone you can most times guess what they are thinking cause your close to each other. In my case that does apply. But in my normal life When someone is thinking about me or if I'm in work and I know I'm getting a certain job to do I hear the words they are about to say to me before they say it and it happens time and time again.its almost as if peoples thoughts are radio waves and I seem to tune in and know what they are going to say to me before they say it, and I'm always right.
Sometimes I will see an image of whatever that person is thinking of, what's happening? Am I psychic? How can I be more aware of peoples thoughts?can I progress further.
Any help would be appreciated. I find it fasinating when it happens..
Thanks
