Hello,
I'm just wondering what is usually the best way to experience vivid astral projections, while being quite short to learn?
Thank you, I know it varies per person, but just the way most people experience astral projections, and a guide on how to do this technique would be nice. Thanks again.
As most people on these forums you will get the same answer; there is no "short" way to learn AP. If you are expecting it to be short, you are in for some frustrating stuff. I really haven't astral projected yet, and I don't know a proper way to do it. All the practice WILL pay off. Keep trying. Most people use the "rope method". Relax in a comfortable position; don't move a single muscle, don't scratch an itch, just relax. Keep your breathing steady. In about 15-20 minutes, you should start to feel lighter, you will know when it happens. People have different signs but you will know. After that, imagine yourself climbing a rope above you. Concentrate hard but make sure not to move. Just keep climbing higher and higher. It most likely won't work at first but keep practicing. It will all come together eventually.
I know it could take as little as days or as long as years, but I meant it generally the shortest. Thanks, I will try this!
No problem! Keep in mind, this is the technique I use, but I have not had an OBE yet; so that might mean something :-D
I'm sorry to say this but no one technique works for everyone. We are all different, not only physically but also mentally, and what works easily for one person may never work for another.
The best approach is to actually find the most popular and effective methods and try them one by one to see which seems to resonate with you, and then go with that approach. You will also need to adjust your method as necessary. My method is a blend of several different ones.
I would start out with SSILD. If you try it and it seems impossible or you don't like it, look for something different. This is an extremely difficult hobby and success usually comes at the cost of a lot of research and self-analysis. Some people do historical analysis on their progress because it can be difficult to analyze trends without detailed notes. You may not notice that one technique works better than others unless you have notes you can review a month later, after you've moved on to something else.
Good luck!

hehe dont worry. some ppl get oobe after first time and others need some more time. Just clear your mind from doubts and dont let excitement to take over because it can disturb ongoing oobe experience or process of getting out.
Go to sleep keeping your mind just active enough to stay aware and concious. Ignore your physical body completely. Don't even think of it.
Do this successfully and you'll get an experience.
It sounds simple, its anything but.
Thats the basics of it. Remember what you've experienced and each attempt will go further.
Have absolutely no fear of anything. You will get images and/or strange sounds, ignore em.
When you're successful you'll automatically know.
Best of luck.
Make up your mind right now that you will not let fear stop you no matter what. Some people get really close and then stop because of fear. I have heard from a few where they say doing this too many times actually became a problem in itself. It gave them a little complex just dwelling on it.
No fear and control your excitement. If you can sleep, you can project.
Thanks guys :-D btw is the astral academy, featured by this website, good?
Hi all, the best way to ap from my opinion, is
Try when you are not rushed for time
Get plenty of sleep until you do not want to sleep anymore
Get in a comfortable position
Believe you can ap, tell yourself I can do this and I will succeed
Breathe deeply and slowly for up to five to ten breaths
Breathe normally. When your mind starts to feel relaxed then you know you can do an ap technique
It works. I ap this morning by doing that.
I haven't seen anyone post this method to astral project, it works for me & I learned it quickly so here:
What you need to know about this method to start is,
1) This method consisists of actually falling asleep,
2 becoming aware you are dreaming,
3) and from that state maintaining body asleep pulling back awareness to exit the body.
This method is effective because when you fall asleep you are in the state to obe. It is tricky falling asleep with concious (adviced by most methods) oposed to falling asleep then pulling back concious
How to preform:
1) through the day ask yourself, "Am I dreaming?" And really considder if you are, so when you are dreaming, you can realize it.
2) as you ready for sleep, lay on your back. Three times repeat, "I will obe and remember" when you start falling asleep (you will start seeing movie like daydreams) keep asking yourself, "Am I dreaming?"
3) allow yourself to fall asleep and lose concious. Make your primary goal asking yourself if you are dreaming.
4) finally, after practice you will know when you are dreaming, from there your body is in the perfect condition for an exit. Be careful not to wake up, as you "bring yourself" back to awareness, allow your dreamscape to remain.
your vision should blackin on its own as you "feel" yourself laying, try your exit methods until you are out, (I suggest "feeling" yourself sit up/roll out of your body) it will feel like fighting a vacum effect, like the body is sucking you back. After you get far enough from the body you can open your eyes. Grats :) you did it. Your body will auto-matically suck you back usually within 2-5 minutes so enjoy yourself&don't stress about getting back~Happy trails
