So I've been trying at astral projection a little over a year now. I still haven't managed to actually have the full experience. I have gotten very adept at focusing and calming thoughts, I can sit for hours without a single thought in my mind. I've gotten to the point where I've seen the astral plane, all the static fuzz and random shapes that appear behind my eyelids just will kind of stretch into 3D to resemble the area I am in, I believe that is the astral plane isn't it? I've also, very very rarely, at times seen things moving in it, mainly things that sort of look like shadows. I believe I have scene my astral body, it appears sort of blue, right? I've felt like I was moving my astral arms at times. I have had my whole body feel like it's been somewhere else. I am good at getting my body to be numb, primarily my limbs, I have trouble getting my head or spine to feel numb. I've seen the vibrations behind my eyelids, a pulsing white light that pulses at what seems to feel like the proper rate. I have however never felt the vibrations. The more I relax, I tend to fall into a feeling of numbness, I never get a sense of energy through me or vibrations that I hear is essential to feel. I think this may be one of my primary problems with getting the full experience.
If anyone could give me some tips specific to me with all that in mind it'd be greatly appreciated. What should I try focusing on in order to get further? I am at a loss ideas of how to further progress this.
Not everyone gets vibrations. I only have once, and they were so small that they might not have even been vibrations.
seems to me your ready to fully ap. What is your method for shifting your conciousness?
when trying to ap, don't let any sensations distract you or break your focus. Remember to stay focused on the one thing you are trying to do and don't let yourself get to excited or distracted over what you are currently experiencing.
Ok I figured it out and got out. I just zoned out completely, felt my body gradually fall asleep took like 10-15 minutes. Then I kind of flex what feels like a muscle running down the back of my head, but it's not a muscle. I flex that, and really force it and then my vision will click and start pulsating white and black really fast and if I hold that for about 20 seconds I'll be out. During the time when my vision is flashing I get a rather strong body sensation that almost feels like your falling from marijuana, except it's stronger and your going up.
Now, I got a few questions. It felt exactly like a dream, like everything about it felt just like a lucid dream. Only I was just in my room, is that how it's supposed to feel?
Forcing my way through walls and doors actually required alot of forcing, like both hands on either side of the door and pushing to slowly pop through. Is it supposed to be that diffucult?
It seemed that the farther away I got from my body the more difficult it was to maintain. I pushed myself out through one of my windows and got outside and it looked like what I expected for like maybe 20 seconds. Then somehow I was somewhere that I don't know what it was, I think I just dreamt that area. At that point I focused on my body and returned to it. Then I forced myself out again and restarted my exploration, didn't go outside again. I think though the farther away I got from my body the more I actually started to have a lucid dream. Is that common for beginners or possible?
I couldn't see the chord, I hear this is common, but I don't ever remember seeing my body either. I glanced for maybe a split second but don't remember seeing my body on the ground. Is it possible to not be able to see your body? Or maybe I wasn't even projected at all? Just forced myself into a very convincing lucid dream? Has that happened to anyone? I could however see my reflection in the mirror, only like, it was weird, I could only see the same reflection of myself no matter how I felt I was moving my body.
