Beginning to project .. please help!

[charlotte1992]

Hi,
im new here, last night i had a bit of a weird experience that i would really like some advice on, last night about 4am i was just about to go to sleep and i was in probably the most mediative and relaxed state i have ever been in my life, when all of a sudden i felt pins and needles in my feet and ankles and this wave of what i can only describe as intense energy go right through my body, about this time i felt myself be pulled just above my body, its felt like a big magnet it was only by about 2 inches, i may not even have been fully 'out' of my body yet, i couldn't see, everything was black, like i was blind, i didn't panic, and i was totally relaxed. i'm eighteen and still live at home with my mum, at this point i heard my mum walk past my bedroom to the bathroom and i tried to call her, i couldn't speak or move y mouth and no voice came out, i can only expect thats how people in comas feel, i panicked at this point and found as if i had pulled myself back into my body and i was fine.  

I have always has little experiences but this was by far the most intense! i have always been able to fly in my dreams and sometimes i know im dreaming and im happily floating/flying about, although i always get a bit wobbly if i got straight up too high, sometimes i have even had extremely vivid dreams of walking along my road practicing flying, and when i was young, around 9 or 10, i had a recurring dream that i would fly out of my bedroom window, and just wander about, into neighbours gardens or over the back, these dreams were also very vivid and realistic that i have never forgotten them, do you think this has any connection to astral projection?

also sometimes when im really relaxed i can hear voices, like lost of people talking, this is usually before i have some kind of strange experience!

i really want to get more into this as it definitely seems something i would enjoy learning, however, if im honest im a little worried about being this exposed and vulnerable, outside of my body, alone, late at night,  but i think i can definitely work on overcoming that!

also where can you go, like how far away, can you see family and friends? can you go as far as next door or as far as another country? and can anyone see you?


Help!! 
any advice or stories would be amazing! thanks in advance!!

you can go to other universes.
because energy keeps going in all directions your mind is a giant sphere that covers all of life so there are no limmits to where in your mind you move your focus

id say your doing great keep it up

Hi Charlotte!

Welcome to the Astral Pulse.
Let's go over your post quickly! 

Hi,
im new here, last night i had a bit of a weird experience that i would really like some advice on, last night about 4am i was just about to go to sleep and i was in probably the most mediative and relaxed state i have ever been in my life, when all of a sudden i felt pins and needles in my feet and ankles and this wave of what i can only describe as intense energy go right through my body, about this time i felt myself be pulled just above my body, its felt like a big magnet it was only by about 2 inches, i may not even have been fully 'out' of my body yet, i couldn't see, everything was black, like i was blind, i didn't panic, and i was totally relaxed. i'm eighteen and still live at home with my mum, at this point i heard my mum walk past my bedroom to the bathroom and i tried to call her, i couldn't speak or move y mouth and no voice came out, i can only expect thats how people in comas feel, i panicked at this point and found as if i had pulled myself back into my body and i was fine. 

This sounds like a case of Sleep Paralysis.  This is when you wake up, yet the "paralysis" that your body goes into while you dream (so you don't act out your dreams) hasn't worn off yet.  Generally, it wears off before you consciously wake up... yet from time to time in some people you can wake up before it wears off.  This is actually a great time to have an OBE if you can stay calm.

That's the key though... remain calm.  Know that nothing is going to harm you.  You might sense the presence of "someone"... you might see things or hear things... just realize that they can't harm you and you're perfectly safe.  At this point you can think about something that makes you float... and see what happens. 

I have always has little experiences but this was by far the most intense! i have always been able to fly in my dreams and sometimes i know im dreaming and im happily floating/flying about, although i always get a bit wobbly if i got straight up too high, sometimes i have even had extremely vivid dreams of walking along my road practicing flying, and when i was young, around 9 or 10, i had a recurring dream that i would fly out of my bedroom window, and just wander about, into neighbours gardens or over the back, these dreams were also very vivid and realistic that i have never forgotten them, do you think this has any connection to astral projection?

I've had the same thing all my life as well... I've no doubt that those ARE astral projections. 

also sometimes when im really relaxed i can hear voices, like lots of people talking, this is usually before i have some kind of strange experience!

That's great!  It's another symptom that you're on the verge of projecting too!  I'd keep at doing that as well. 

i really want to get more into this as it definitely seems something i would enjoy learning, however, if im honest im a little worried about being this exposed and vulnerable, outside of my body, alone, late at night,  but i think i can definitely work on overcoming that!

You've definitely come to the right place then. 
First, it's 100% safe.  There's not threat that can befall you while you're out of body. 
If you do happen to become afraid of something while out... simply focus on your physical body lying in your bed (or where ever) and you'll return. 

Fear of the unknown is really one of the biggest obstacles you'll have to work through.

also where can you go, like how far away, can you see family and friends? can you go as far as next door or as far as another country? and can anyone see you?

As Noy said... you're really only limited by your imagination.
You can visit any place in this physical universe... you can even travel to other dimensions and converse with people who were once alive and are now physically dead... you can talk to people who maybe have never incarnated as human... lots to see and lots to experience. 

I enjoy pointing people towards our Frank Kepple Phasing resource as a place to start: http://www.astralpulse.com/frankkepple.html
Phasing is a type of astral projection that is, in my opinion, easier to do especially if you're a visually-oriented person.  Give it a read and see what you think.

Thank you so much for all your advice! I spoke to my mum this morning, as she is very open minded about this kind of thing and she said to me that she remembers me from as young as 4 years old, saying i was flying places lol!

As we were speaking i was remembering things that happened, that i still remember, to well to be a dream, the funny thing was is that i never went further that i was 'allowed' to play in my waking life, so it will be interesting this time knowing i am free to go wherever!!

Thank you so much again!

I will keep you updated on my progress, im so glad i found this forum!

What is Kinda funny...I cannot seperate from my body but my mind is totally awake and all I can do is lay there...I swear as I'm laying there unable to move anything physical body, I think I hear someone coming or people having conversations, so I try to wake up...When I finally wake up I go out and check the other rooms in the tent but no one is in the tent, but the convo's seem soooo real.
