I think I almost Astral Projected

[SilentlyBroken116]

I'm sorta new to Astral Projection but I have read A LOT about it. I've tried a few times before but I would get too excited when I get to the vibration stage and ruin the whole thing. But last night I think I almost did it. I had the radio on and got into bed. I laid down flat on my back and relaxed everything like I normally did. One of the songs I liked was on the radio and I focused on the song and kinda went into a dream-like state. I felt like my whole body was vibrating but instead of getting excited I just kept focusing on the song. I then felt like I was laying down on an elevator that was going up really slow like. So I opened my eyes just barely, when I didn't see anything I closed them. But as soon as I closed them, in the corner of my eye was a bright light. Almost as if the streetlight from my window was beaming from the wall. And I thought that that was what it was.

After a few more seconds of nothing except the elevator feeling and the light, I gave up and opened my eyes. I looked over to look at the light but when I did, it was gone. Like it had never been there. The funny thing was, later that night when I went to sleep I was dreaming and then woke up in sleep paralysis because I wanted to turn on my side and couldn't. I then kept hearing static and voices that were everywhere which really scared me. So I forced my arms to move with all my strength and broke out of it. And I have never actually had sleep paralysis ever.

I'm gonna try again though and hopefully this time, I won't give up.

 First off hello and Welcome to the Astral Pulse.
Congratulations on your first consciously aware experience. It sounds like you had a brief "outing". They will be brief at first, until you confront your fear. then you will see the more you open up, the more that's open up to you. Reading about it was the first step, now comes the fun part. Feel free to ask questions and make sure you read the "stickies" found in this section. There is some great techniques and info to be found there.

Hi,

Well done It sounds like you're getting there. Patience is a virtue with this. So keep at it, and keep relaxed. When you feel the elevator feeling (i assume this is like a wooshing/sinking feeling) then just try to intensify that more by relaxing your entire body and allow your mind to drift a little bit.  Then you'll be out.

Keep up and good luck!
