first astral projection

[Isador]

Hi everyone, I'm new to this website and I wanted to share the first astral projection that I could remember, since it was so vivid.

I've had a couple experiences I could remember, the first time I became aware physically of my astral body was when I was listening to a guided astral projection meditation audio and I could feel vibrations run through my body and my astral hand shaking out of my physical hand.

But the most recent astral projection I had was before a family member passed away. I remember the vibrations were very noticeable, the word that pops into my mind is "accelerate" and I remember these accelerating/very fast vibrations were in my chest mainly, feeling like very fast spinning wheels around my heart and above my tummy area. I felt sucked out through the bottom half of my physical body's abdomen and I heard music that I could only describe as "angelic", really nothing I have ever heard in my life. Then I saw my gran and I kissed her goodbye since I knew she was going to be passing away very soon (about a day after this projection).
The clearest moment from this projection was me and her standing on this stone mountain/cliff area, the stone was a bronze color and she was standing near the edge looking out into the sky. The sky was filled with golden clouds that looked like sparkly, golden candy floss and there were these beings flying around which I first perceived as flashes of light but then I saw these beings as flying babies with golden wings, like cherubs. My gran looked really at peace as she watched those cherubs.

Then I suddenly woke up but I felt the vibrations and heard that angelic music again, but I wasn't able to project again. I've heard that people who are on their death bed aren't *totally* with us in the physical anymore, and they are aware of the non-physical, so I guess this projection I had was a final goodbye, mind you we didn't speak at all in this projection, it was just a kiss goodbye as I watched her stand peacefully on the rock watching the cherubs in the clouds.

Has anybody else experienced seeing their dying loved ones or perhaps meeting a deceased relative in an astral projection? I read Erin Pavlina, a psychic with an online blog, had a dinner meet up with her deceased family members in one of her astral projections. I would love to meet my gran again, and maybe my ancestors/family who I haven't met before.

Thank you.

Hi Isador and welcome to the Pulse!  Sounds like a really great experience you had!

I've visited my deceased Dad, Grandma and cat several times.  Exchanged hugs, 'I love yous' and a little conversation (but not much) with Dad, Grandma acted as a kind of guide on a few occasions, and lots of pets and affection from my cat as well.  I often hear beautiful music I've never heard before on earth like you did too.

Hi Soarin, thank you for your welcome message and sharing your experiences!
How exciting to know that our loved ones (including our pets!) continue their existence beyond physical death!
Out of curiosity, if it's not too personal or sensitive for you, did your dad and grandma share any information about their life in the astral/afterlife? Such as any differences between our world and their new world? I've read that in the astral, thoughts can build towns, cities, etc but do you think spirits could also choose to live in an astral replica of the home they lived in during physical life?

On a side note, my pet cat passed away (had to be put to sleep). The night after she passed away, I got up at midnight to use the bathroom and as I walked down the hallway I perceived a grey sort of mist in the shape of my cat, I could even make out her curved tail in the mist, but it was odd because I paused only for a moment and then kept on walking down the hallway because maybe my mind was just processing what I saw. It was only until I reached the bathroom that it actually hit me that I had just seen Bella's spirit/ghost/shade.

One thing's for sure, life never truly ends, and it's comforting to know we'll all be meeting our loved ones again in time.

No, unfortunately I didn't get any info. on their astral lives but I think they could live in a replica of their house if they wanted.  I have read of experiences where deceased people created their own astral dream homes.  They lived there at least temporarily -maybe moving on to something else later.

In the projection where I met my dad, he certainly had a nice house.  He brought me into the living room and we sat on a nice white puffy couch and chair.  I don't know if this was (or represented) his home or if it was an astral meeting place of some sort.  It seemed like it was his place, though.

Very neat about your 'ghost cat!'
