a easy way to know is keep your eyes closed until you can see with them unopened. keep concentrating hard..
as soon as i start feeling the tingles i concentrate harder. (on whatever given technique you are using)
"if you have another experience like that jump forward" if you can jump many feet further then you would prior. you may not be in the astral but there's a small chance you could be in the "jinn state"..
If you have never achieved projection i would start in the morning doing visualization excercises. goto bed early say 10pm. I on the weekends set my alarm for 2pm and 4am.. so i have 3 chances to project.. and when i project i try to stay aware from one alarm to the next.
Hi yesterday I tried to Astral Project again.
This time I came closer than I've ever been before.
I have projected many times but I haven't gone through the stages 100% conscious before.
Although after approximetly 20 minutes I began to feel that I was floating. That's pretty normal for me and I thought, hey I'm getting closer.
Then after a couple of minutes I started to feel like if something crawled on my nose. It was very innoying and I wanted to wake up and check if there was something there. Although I managed to stay calm and ride it trough.
I began to feel vibrations and all. I told myself to stay calm and wait until the right moment. Although what was wierd is that I felt myself floating and I thought it was the right moment so I opened my eyes and forced myself out of bed and later came to realize that it wasn't a OBE. It was real life. The time was the same everything was the same, so I got up and took a tinkle and went back to bed.
Why didn't I AP?
