Hello.

[SoulTraveler]

I am SoulTraveler I have had some astral projections but not from meditations. I either get them from Lucid Dreaming or getting pulled out of my body by spirits. I am here to learn and get help learning about how to project while wide awake.

Welcome to the Astral Pulse SoulTraveler.

There is a vast repository of knowledge here, and members with the experience and willingness to answer any questions you may have. Perhaps you could expand on your objective to project while wide awake so we can help accordingly.

Well, I'm doing energy work that Robert Bruce taught, and I can feel spirits while wide awake. I'm trying to have fully conscious astral projections, either from a spirit pulling me out or using the rope technique. I haven't had any success doing the rope technique on my own, but I can feel spirits—and my physical hand moves while I'm wide awake when I feel things. So I don't think that'll work if I physically feel the rope, because if I suddenly left my body, my hands would probably flop onto the bed, lol.

So I want to learn how to move my arms without moving my physical arms, so I can still feel the rope.

Hello and welcome. You put too much focus on your physical reality.Your problem maybe isn't projecting while wide awake. Your problem may be in recognizing the times you actually have been projecting while wide awake. Observe.

Well I can offer my views on this.

Projecting using the "rope method" requires considerable concentration and commitment. I certainly would not advise those starting out in non-physical exploration to begin with this method, or at all. These days there are much more effective, and reliable methods available.

An understanding of how these abilities actually work is a good place to begin. The entire Universe is within us, so there is nowhere to project "to" or "from" as we are already there.  When therefore we speak of "out of body experiences" or "astral projection" it is actually an inner projection of consciousness to experience and interact with energy forms at a higher vibratory frequency. Similarly, spirits cannot "pull" you out of your body because you are not actually leaving your body, and other spirits cannot interact in this way anyway..

In practical terms, if you wish to "project" starting from a waking state of consciousness, I recommend that you take a look at a method that has become known as "Phasing" which is a meditative approach to experiencing progressively higher vibratory frequencies called "focus levels".

You can find detailed information about Phasing on Xanth's webpage:

Here you also view/download Xanth's excellent book:

What is Astral Projection, and How To Do It

Also, over a couple of decades ago there was a member, Frank Kepple, who was an expert and highly accomplished at Phasing, who most generously shared a considerable amount of knowledge here on the forum, which can be viewed/downloaded here:

What is the feeling of being pulled out by a spirit? Is that what they call vibrations—like you're being forcefully pulled out from the lying-down body position? I don't know what vibrations are unless this is it. That was the only way I could describe it, because it felt like another presence was doing it. And if I was the one doing it, I can't replicate it on my own.

Also, once I got out, I was holding the hand of another being in the astral—unless you would call this my conscious astral character. I called it a spirit, as I also cannot replicate people in the astral realm. But if you can create people and astral characters at will, I would love it if you could explain how to do that, as it would be the main reason why I am projecting.

I have summoned dragons in my dreams, and I want to ride a dragon again—this time in the astral realm.

Hi SoulTraveler.

Welcome to the forum! I have to say, this is a most active forum. Are you comfortable with sharing your age, gender and where you're located?

I'm from Houston, TX and am a 36 year old male.

tides is an acceptable name for now    But my birth name is Eric!

You said something amazing to me... Recently some stickers have found themselves on my doorstep... They are a bunch of dragons and one in particular that says-

"A dragon without its rider is a tragedy- a rider without their dragon is DEAD"

You remind me of a astral memory of me learning my environment, running atop the roofs of the houses in my neighborhood. It was nighttime, and I had dragon wings.

I like your forum name. Most appropriate.

When I first had OBE's, sleep paralysis- etc... The vibrations were jarring.

Reading your post. You spur another memory of meeting "my self" or someone very close to me, a part of me- but there was a wall of electricity separating us. There was no sound but when our hands met towards that invisible wall there was lightning.

It's all very curious.

Best of luck with your adventures and, a warm welcome once more!

Please do share your AP method SoulTraveller- any method that is successful is of interest to everyone.

The sensation of vibrations occurs when conscious awareness transfers from the physical to the etheric vibratory frequency of the personal energy field, and conscious awareness becomes focussed within the "etheric body" which enables the OBE state. If you are expecting to be pulled out of your physical body by other spirits, then that will be the sensation you experience.

So the sensation of hands on my body would also be a clue that it's time to project?

The vibrations or other sensations are a transient phenomena between states of consciousness - physical to etheric. When you experience these sensations stay calm and wait for confirmation you are centred in the etheric, dissociated from the physical body, then you can mentally command or imagine going somewhere, floating, flying etc..
