Generally, they should be fine.

Thanks Ryan.  Gateway voyage tonight then.  Should I start at intro to Focus 10 and Advanced Focus 10 or dive straight in at Wave Vii haha!

On a side note, I saw a thread about the Gateway Voyage and bitrates.  Are these okay to download and listen to? Could they have been tampered with etc to add subliminal info to benefit the person tampering.  Has anyone downloaded andused the Gateway Voyage?

My 4 year old lad told us about a dream he had where he floated up to the ceiling.  Brilliant!!

Thanks all for the responses!!  I really appreciate it!

Pondini - Interestingly, I posted an experience that I had not long ago.  It was also what I now believe, having read your post, to be a hypnogogic vision.  I saw an image of a card with hearts round three edges about 10 days before Valentines Day.  I mentioned nothing of this vision to my wife and when I opened the card it had hearts all around the three edges as I had seen in my vision. Very weird, but as you say it made me aware of the fact that there is more going on than can currently be explained by modern science.  I learned after that my wife hadn't even bought the card at the time of my vision.

Astraladdict - I cannot wait to have an OBe myself and will look forward to testing the experience.  I think I had avery good practice this evening actually.  I was lay down listening to tones and was very relaxed. My hands felt as though they had sunk into the floor.  I decided to see if I could imagine my whole body sinking into the floor.  I then felt as if I was falling down.  I managed to keep falling but became too aware of this and lost the feeling.  Now, I'm not sure what I should have done at this point, but if anyone has any thoughts it would be really appreciated.

Volgerle - Thanks for the links!! They are really appreciated and I will read them with interest in the hope that I will soon be able to add my own experience to the list.

Thanks everyone, this forum is so helpful.

Hi All,

Quick question.  What validations have you had that have made you 100% sure that you left your physical body and therefore are able to continue after physical death?

Just interested as I have not yet managed OBE.  I will do my own validations, of course, when I finally manage to OBE.

Hi All,

Many thanks for all the positive comments.  To add to this a month or so into my practice, I had an interesting dream. 

I was wandering around in a bleak urban area that felt very grim.  I entered into this building and could hear a not very nice voice.  Being a dream I suddenly recall finding myself in a plane with the back end open escaping, like in war movies, and this horrible creature appeared. I just stood there facing it knowing that nothing could happen and that I had power.  Weird, but when I woke, I knew I had nothing to fear.

I now realise this recent fear is just a silly set back and all thanks to those on here that have helped me realise this.  I just need to actually experience the non physical now to realise there is nothing to fear and confront myself if need be.

Out of interest, what does it feel like to enter the mass consciousness and realise we are not simply our physical shells?  If anyone would like to try and put it into words.

Hi All,

I just wanted to say thank you for all the encouraging comments and I do feel much better about the whole thing now.  I do wonder why this person would want to put so many negative articles onto her site in the first instance.  I have decided to shed my fear and as Pondini stated I'm stepping up.

Hi All,

I have been regulary practicing AP now for about 5 months without a successful projectiion so far.  I felt comfortable and without fear until last night.  I stumbled upon Erin Pavlina's website and now feel fear about AP.  Her site talks about 4 month battles with Demons etc.  Is she for real?  I now seriously having second thoughts and wanted some thoughts/opinions from the Astral Pulse bunch.

I usually doze off or lose my mind somewhere else too and then wake up to the vibrational state but I dont get farther than that... I guess I just have to focus and practice more but thanks for all the feedback!

Hi Danielsama, that exact same thing happens to me.  I fade out and then become very alert/awake to the vibrations.  Lately at this stage I have been trying the rope method and seem to have been getting better results this way.  I actually feel my whole body rise up about 6 inches.  I think I then get too excited and lose it.  I need to learn better control but how can I not get excited when my entire body floats up!! Even that is an amzing thing.  When I actually manage to Astral Project it trully will be amazing.

I'm really excited for it Landshark and I seriously appreciate your encouraging comments. Practice, practice and practice.

Thanks Chris.  Interesting you should say this becasuse when I went to bed last night I started to get vibrations even though I wasn't even trying to project.  Suppose that proves to me that I would be capable of achieving a projection without Binaural beats if I tried to.

Hi Landshark,

I was thinking about this and I wonder if, because of the vibrations/floating, I started to hold my breath in anticipation, due to excitement and that is why I needed to take a deep breath.  Next time I get to that stage I must try not to get overly excited and just go with the flow.  It was probably because it has been about two weeks since I managed to get this far.

Interestingly, when I went to bed last night, after my earlier practice, I followed my normal going to bed routine after about 5 minutes I started to get very strong vibrations even though I wasn't even intending or trying to project.  Thought this was odd.  Decided to come out of the Vibrations though because I didn't want to do it because it was dark. Thinking about it now it doesn't really matter if its dark or not. There isn't anything to fear, I suppose.

Interesting, because I get the same urge throughout my practice, where I need to swallow.  I also noticed tonight after getting the floating sensation during vibrations that I am short of breath and just had to take a deep breath which brought my awareness totally back to the physical and ruined my attempt.  Is this breathing issue something that others have also encountered?

Welcome Stellina,

I am also new here.  I have had a couple of interesting experiences but have not yet managed a projection.  It will be interesting to see how you progress also.  I am keeping a journal on here of my experiences on this journey and have found that everyone is extremely helpful and knowledeable as you have probably already realised.

Quick question for Chris J.  Is there a problem with using audio technology to assist in projection as I use Binaural or isochronic sounds everytime I practice?

Hi All,

Instead of creating a new thread everytime I get a new experience on my quest to achieve Astral Projection I thought it might be a good idea to stick everything in the one thread as a kind of journal.  That is if no one objects.  Not exactly sure of forum rules.


Anyway down to business:  26/06/11 20.20

AP practice on son's floor as per current practice regime whilst putting him to sleep.  Using Binaural beats.  Start to feel slight vibration.  Previously I just let vibrations happen and they usually go and nothing else happens.  Currently as soon as I feel even a slight vibration, I commence the rope technique.  This increases the vibration and today I suddenly felt my whole body float upwards probably only about 6 inches.  The extremeties of my body felt tingly.  I think at this point I got over excited and my body sank back although I didn't feel this to the same extent as when it rose up.  I tried a couple of commands like vision now, as my sight was still black and tried a command like move to the kitchen.  I think both of these were pointless as I believe my excitement had already ended the experience.

Thoughts please from anyone who has any opinions on what happened here? I think I'm definitely getting closer since I've started to use a technique at the onset of vibration.

Thanks for reading.

Hi Xanth,

Thanks for the reply.  I appreciate it.  I have only recently started to explore the possibilities of AP again after trying about 9 years ago, without success.

Earlier this year I started trying again using Binaurals which I hadn't  used in the past.  Just a bit of background on where I am with this.

Anyway after the experience I described in my post above I had another thing happen.  I had drifted out of consciousness on my lads floor again and suddenly became conscious to the sensation of my body rocking backwards and forwards rapidly, but then my tummy rumbled and the sensation disappeared.

The strange thingis I can remember having this sensation throughout my life before I had even heard about AP.  I also get this when I am listening to the Binaurals.  I asked my wife if she ever experiences this and she said she never had. 

What is this rocking sensation?  Is it related to AP and what do I do next?

All help appreciated, I am determined to achieve AP this time round.

Thanks.

Hi all,

Had an interesting experience last night.  I was lying on my 4yr olds floor with the wife as we do every night when we put him to bed and I drifted off.  Next minute I recall opening my eyes and seeing my wife sat next to me on the floor.  Then suddenly I was awake and opened my real eyes to see my wife lay down on the floor.

This coincided with me starting to do binaural beats and Astral Projection practice again after a few weeks break.

Was this an OBE or was I just dreaming?  It seemed pretty real for the instant that it occured.

Hi All,

I am new here and although I have tried Astral Projection in my past it is only now that I have seriously begun practicing projection.
,
I have been using Binaural Beats and have already noticed some interesting states of consciousness, I haven't previously felt.

Whilst listening to the beats, I get images flash before me and a few weeks ago I experienced a strong image of a card. 

The following day I sketched a picture of the image I had seen on a piece of paper and dated it. The image was of a card with hearts running around the top, bottom and right edge where the card opens.  The hearts were not down the spine edge.  Knowing Valentine's day was approaching I was intrigued.

I mentioned nothing of this to my wife and decided to wait and see what happened.  When I opened the card two weeks later on the 14Th Feb I could not believe my eyes when the card had hearts running round the edges as I had seen two weeks previously.  I showed my wife the image I had drawn and she too was amazed.

How can this be explained?  I now feel even more amazed at the possibilities of this universe.  What are people's thoughts on this and has anyone else experienced such phenomena?
