Possible first projection!!

[Boom]

I posted this over at spiritual forums as well. But I'm also interested in what you guys think over here also. 

As some may know, Im pretty new to the concept of Astral Projection and have been learning more and more about it these last couple of months.

Anyway this morning at 4am im woken up by a huge passing rain storm locally. I get up, go toilet, and im feeling pretty awake as the rain is pounding down on the roof and battering the windows. So im online checking email and stuff for about 20 minutes. The storm passes and I decide to start heading back to sleep.

I then realised that I was in a perfect scenario to give this another go. So I layed there and basically said to myself an affirmation that I wanted to, and asked a guardian angel to protect me from my negative thoughts.

Then I was just kinda letting my mind wonder, to the early stages of drifting off asleep. But then I was able to think ah hang on, lets try it. And really hard to explain how, but by willing it. I could just feel myself woosh forwards. My ears kinda pop and a kind of similar sound to when wind sound you hear when wind hits a microphone or the sound you get in your ears when you yawn. On those lines. I feel my conciousness hurtling forwards but also kinda sinking down. Ive had this a couple of times before. The excitement has me back to physical reality. I was aware also that I could hear (and still can actually) really high pitched tones in both my ears. Kind of electrifying noises.

So I woke up, stretched, turned over and found myself being able to replicate the above again and again. I must have done it about 3 or 4 times. Each time, I felt I was getting further. I felt the woosh, then focussed into the black and was kinda saying to myself "go go go go!" and id get the woosh further. I was layed on my side with my arm stretched out infront of me. But I became aware and had the feeling that my arm was actually dangling down through the bed and to downstairs. Like it was in a different place to my physical body.

Then I remembered about the rocking sensation you could do to get out of your body. So i tried that, and as daft as it sounds i was kinda pivoting on my little finger. I then became aware of the fact that I could kind of see myself. But it was dark, and also the angle I was at was all nuts. Rather amusing really, its as if i had mostly exited my body from the side but my feet were up in the air and my head was sunk down into the bed . So I kind of just willed myself to get it right.

I then found myself to the other side of me with a clearer angle.

The vision of all this wasnt great. It was dark in the room at the time, and also the detail of seeing me wasnt exactly 100%, and perhaps wasnt an exact 100% accuraate to how i would have been looking if i was to tell you the truth.

The excitement of that brought me back to the physical.

Sorry for the long post. Compared to a lot of stuff on here, it probably isnt very exciting as I didnt get very far. But I just thought id share it because I just needed to get this written down. And also for those who have yet to astral project may find it interesting, and those veteren projectors may be able to shed their comments.

One thing for sure. I did not feel vibrations. I did not have to empty my mind or meditate. infact i just let it flow freely. That woosh sensation was definately something stronger than what I would expect out of a regular dream. The images I got of myself? Well im not entirely sure if I had actually OBE'd or whether I had simply dreamt I had OBE'd. If it was a dream, it was a pretty vivid one.

Thanks for any comments and advice you can give me. There is definately something here beyond dreaming. Its nice to know that I can finally prove that to myself, and I hope to be able to continue and go further and further.

Hallo Boom
Yes, that may well have been a full OBE. However, from your description I am unsure whether you made a full separation or if it was only a partial projection. Either way it Was a good sign of progress. Let me just add that in my experiences OBEs seem to come in bunches of 2 or 3 or 4 in just a few days. So be mentally ready for another opportunity at any time.

Good luck 
Grey

[Boom]

Thanks Grey,

Well I hoped to have achieved the same thing again last night. I kind of did.  It was weired hehe.
Got the woosh again and kept pushing for the woosh to go further. Then became aware that I was out of my body. But it just wasnt hugely vivid.  I couldnt see myself on the bed. Something was blocking the view.  But I was able to stay in the state for much longer.  Also it was as if i could only see out of one eye. (Well they call it the third eye well i guess we dont have two hehe).  The way things looked was weired as well. Kind of like looking through a lense, sharp but with little peripheral vision. I was kinda bouncing around the room a bit. Finding it very difficult to actually control what I did. I also thought about going through the wall to the neighbours house. But didnt see anything when I tried.  I also thought about going back to my parents house 1600 miles away.  That didnt work either.

So it really wasnt quite the OBE of the intensity of the previous night. But at the same time it was different to a regular dream.  People say that a true phase to an alternate focus is as real as real day conciousness. This definately wasnt.  I also didnt come to any new information. For example, i tried going through the wall to my neighbours house. I have never been in that house so have no idea what it looks like. So when i did that I saw nothing.  Coming to new information will prove to me that i have projected my conciousness away from my physical body.  So nothing proven last night. Still these last two nights have been a good step forward.

I woke up and like the previous night tried to repeat what I had done, but was not sucessfull.

Something I am workin' on right now is opening both my astral eyes. I didn't know you actually had to try and open them. Frank says a good bit about simply telling yourself to see clearly and you will. You might want to give that a go.

Cheers,

I used to rub my (phantom) hands together and blow on them when I experienced blindness. The tactile sensations of doing this would increase vividness and anchor me in the metaphysical. Other times I might reach out and grab or feel for an object and that would 'form' whatever into being.

When I reach SP... I rarely actively separate now. I tend to just see wherever I am. Sometimes I am local (in my meta-bedroom) or somewhere random (probably where my subconscious was playing before I focused to it).

[Summerlander]

Bedeekin! What the bonk are you doing here? LMAO!

[Bedeekin]

Well... I was Googling Bedeekin to see if he's been seen in New York (long story) and came across a post with me in it leading here. Then I remembered the thread... this guy had a go at me and someone pointed it out on AVers.

But... for the life of me... I remember already joining and answering that post. I'm sure. Maybe my account vanished because of inactivity.

Anyway... we've been discussing Robert Bruce on Avers and I noticed he was on here.

Also I've been meaning to spread my wings. 

Also my general findings about AP and OOBEs fits in with Kepple's model... It's also nice that I arrived at the same conclusions independantly of ever hearing about Frank... give or take different names and interpretations of things. I still maybe have to get to grips with his focus scale.

This seems to be his spiritual home.

Boom, you are projecting ok, but thinking of trying to see your body is keeping you in the etheral-semi-physical level.
Just forget your body and try and go through the roof and you will be projecting in the astral fully.
Good luck Man!

Yes, this is the guys home alright. It's a shame Kepple doesn't post any more. Could he be really dead?

Heya Bedeekin.  Welcome.

We had a forum crash in August 2010, I think that's when you had originally joined.  The forums were rolled back a month around that time, as a result some accounts were removed.

As for Frank, there are a lot of people that seem to be coming to the same conclusions these days... albeit using slightly different metaphors for their descriptions though.

Thank you so much for that. It is very encouraging. Hopefully I will have more opportunities. I wish it was just something i could do on demand.  I did on the second time try not to think about my body as I knew it could just throw me straight back to physical. .  I was also very concious of my breathing as well during the second time. 

I will see what unfolds over the next few weeks. Will try and have more opportunities to explore further and keep developing my projection skills.

[Boom]

Not going to start a new thread, but wanted to share this.

So having woken up at 5am. Went to the bathroom, then kept the intention to have another projection experience upon trying to sleep.  I then found myself tossing and turning and not being able to get back to sleep.

Eventually I do slip back into a dream state.  A few dreams wurr on. Including one where this new girl has started at work, and accusing me of being unprofessional. I said oh great another boring person here thats all we need.

Next up and my my mind has remembered that i was attempting to OBE. So I seemed to have dreamt about attempting it.  Was laying down in a room and this girl was there (someone I know I think)  She was leaving, and then i was kinda like. Nah this isnt happening.  But then I found myself climbing up some ladders to the ceiling of this room. Which was very high, and looking down on the girl.  It was really high, like 5x the height of a normal ceiling.   But I'd gone up there myself rather than OBE'd up there. And was thinking. im not really doing it, she'd see me.  But then i kinda became aware that this was a dream. and some reason decided tgo jump. so i jumped off backwards.

Next minute wooooooooosh!! Yaay got it! Im laid in my bed, I open my eyes and try to roll out of my body. I can feel my astral body moving whilst my physical is still. But for some reason I didnt see anything different.  I thought, im gonna wake myself up here, I wonder if I can go further. Next minute woooooooooosh again!

I then become aware that im at my parents house in the kitchen. There is this kid there, he's blonde, about 11 years old and slim.  He's singing at me, with a really powerful voice.  Im not stood next to him or anything, ubt its like im floating around him and he's intent on keeping me around.  I have no idea of the words or even the melody of the song he was singing. It wasnt a slow song or a particularly fast one. I said to him "wow you should go on x factor" and he replied with grievence: "I did, but they told me to tinkle off!"  so i replied "well tell them to tinkle off then!"

Next im at the front door to my parents house, from the inside. The door is open, outside it is dark, windy, rainining and cold. I think, well this is an astral projection. So I wont feel the cold if i go out there. So I head on outside.  I tried to close the door behind me but it kept springing open.  Ah sod it I thought and wow this is awesome!  and head to the street.  I did actually feel the cold a bit. But then I realised, well actually I can control this. And thought for the weather to go better. Instantly, I looked to the side of theouse and I watched the skies brighten, clear to a nice blue and sky with nice reds in it as the sun was rising.  Then I realised, wow actually theres two suns.   One was a darker red, the other a yellowy colour.   I tried to intensify one of them as it was really faint.

I was then across the road looking at my parents house. I noticed two cats sat in the garden. They were my cats (which i own now here in Spain) and then I thought. Wow i could get a really nice set of wheels, like a Ferreri or something.  However in that moment, i felt something grab my wrist and pull me.  I said (mentally) "aww woah im just playing about!"  It was kinda synomous to when youre a child, being where you shouldnt be, but are so engrossed in what youre doing, you dont notice your mother turning up, grabbing your wrist and pulling you away.  

With that pull sensation I woke back up to the physical.

A google search of "x factor contestant dies" in case that kid was actually on x factor and had passed away since, didnt yield any results.



So what the hell, was that pull sensation? who grabbed my arm and pulled me out of there? Or did I just get a shock from someone grabbing my arm unexpectidly and that woke me up?  That I dont know. Answers on a post card please, your guys advice is most appreciated!

[Bedeekin]

being grabbed and pulled is probably your logical way of feeling a separation process. Your exit manner. It can and most probably will. I have felt many different ways of separating.. being pulled by someone/something is amongst them.

Thanks Bedeekin, but the being grabbed and pulled wasnt being pulled into the astral. More like out of it, back into waking physical.  The way i seem to go to the astral is more of a wooosh

[Summerlander]

Perhaps you unconsciously gave yourself a 'hand' back to the body. By the way, your first experience is very exciting because you are very honest about the anomalous environment perceived and in fact vibrations are not always experienced prior to separation...auditory hallucinations like rumbling, crackling, voices, electronic sounds and a pulsatile hiss are more common...at least with me. But when I experience violent VS, oh my lord! It's like a thousand mobile phones vibrating beneath me and I usually find myself being shifted involuntarily! Keep it up, Boom! Nice work! Badda-bing badda-BOOM!!
