How should I go about contacting my spirit guide?
Does everyone have a spirit guide??
Is the spirit guide someone that is assigned to a specific person or are they just entities on the astral plane being helpfull?

Generally I would suggest that you read a lot more on the subject before attempting an OBE. It would also be advisable to learn some relaxing tecnik or use the NEW system. All these can be found on the site.

These are the general accepted points on the site. I myself use a different method as I am a Christian but do not want to force my views on you, as some here feel they are in opposition to generally accepted views. ? They work for me.

In my universe, you would try to clean up your life first. That would mean that if you have a substance abuse problem, drugs alcohol or a spiritual problem, work that out first. Get on a plan, and start making progress. If you are over weight start jogging diet or whatever. Get in touch with nature, take time to be alone and pray or meditate if you do either. Get the "ship" in order, becourse if you presist you are going on a long journey, and you might be "gone" a while[]. If you are a Christian read the Bible, stay away from history and doctrines but read the basics found in the Gospel of John. Revelation should give you a vision as well.

If you do these things things will change. Your sub conciousness will adapt to the changes and a triggering effect might take place. When you have dreams start recording them and think about them. Make friends with people you have clashes with, stay positive and full of faith. If you need any help from me later feel free to PM or write in public domaine.

The first projection makes the others easier because you know (not believe) it is possible and what it feels like.

You might not like this, but since the first one is hardest, and would take months (or years?) normally, I recommend these drugs:

Amanita muscaria mushrooms. Legal. Be very careful!! Tastes horrible. Forced me to have about 5 conscious-exit OBEs during a time of a few hours.

Salvia divinorum. Legal.

"Grass" "herb" "green".

I have been practicing trying to project for about a week or maybe 2 weeks now.
What I have been doing is using a body asleep mind awake technique to get myself focused. Then I will be in the 3d darkness and I will keep my intent in mind. I find that trying to picture a fire helps keep me in the state of mind I think I should be in, last night I felt alot of strong vibrations and almost like I fell into my body... kind of hard to explain..

MustardSeed: I am an Athiast so I dont read the bible, I dont really drink although I do smoke weed. I am alittle bit overweight, but I am working on getting my physical body and mind into shape.  I think I will be able to astral project rather shortly, Im just curious about the Guides, I have seen them mentioned alot but Im not sure how I should go about contacting them..
Also I have heard about a silver cord that trails behind you, like a connection to your body. If there is one then should i be carefull of that? Can get it caught on things, or can astral beings snap it?

All the help is appriciated. Thanks

Also, beavis I have thought about taking shrooms or other things along those lines to help me, although I am not sure if it would or not.  I smoke weed and I dont really think it affects.. I seem to have kind of a natural talent, I can force myself into the 3d darkness in seconds.. and the other night I started feeling the vibrations I have heard so much about within about 15mins..

But do you think that mushrooms would work? I think if I took them I may not be able to think straight... would that be good or bad?

Shrooms help some, but that is not what "amanita muscaria mushrooms" are. They are poison (like alcohol), and they force an OBE by bringing you close (but not to, if you measure correctly) to death. I think the risk was worth the experience, but that scares most people.

[Aries]

is that just a fancy name for shrooms?
Cause I did abunch one time and started trippin on time and I think I came close to and OOBE but thats befor I was intrested in any of this.

Can anyone please explain to me about Spirit Guides?
That is my first goal once I project, to meet my Spirit Guide.
Is it the same guide everytime? Are they choose by random, or assigned to a person?

Hello, im kind of new at posting but I have been a lurker here for awhile.
My friend and I are getting into Astral Projection and such, and I would like some input from all you nice people.

First off can anyone suggest some ways to meditate and get ready for astral projecting, and I also need a method to actually project myself, how would I go about doing that??

2nd, if I do project is there anything I should avoid doing or be weary of once in the astral plane?

Your input is appriciated, thanks!
