Can somebody give me suggestions to relax and quiet my mind? I've almost astraled but then my mind gets all weird and I lose my concentration. I use the "rope" method. What are some things you can do when you astral? I'm new here I just need a little help.

Hello:

The best way of going about this, IMO, is to follow the concept of "focus". In the sense of where you focus your attention becomes your reality.

Many people get the idea they somehow have to quieten their thoughts as a part of the relaxation process. Problem is, it is very difficult to "not think" about something. Like, to not-think about thinking. The way around this, is simply to focus away from your thoughts by mentally focusing your mind on something else. Think of a pleasant scene, engage your senses in that scene and become immersed in it. In doing this you will automatically focus away from the physical.

Yours,
Frank

Frank do you suggest any form of hemi-sync or sound file to help you focus ?

Hello:

I've made a few recommendations based on my own development in the Sticky-thread forum. Plus, there is a thread that has been made sticky in the Astral Consciousness forum, "Wave 1 and general Phasing questions", where I give a follow-up to my original Wave-1 Pointers post.

If you haven't done so already, have a read through those posts and if you want me to clarify anything for you then jot your questions down in a post to the "Wave-1 and general questions" sticky post in the Astral Consciousness forum, as it's probably a bit off-topic for this thread.

HTH
