Hello From Canada

[SCHMUSTIN]

Hello Guys & Gals,

I just came across this forum and wanted to sign up. I am just starting this journey and I am extremely excited. I am 30 Years old and have a wife and two beautiful children.

I have heard of OBE's in the past but did not know I had the ability to experience this amazing journey (Just going off what people say, as I have never experienced one myself) at any time and not have to go through such things as a "Near Death Experience" etc...

I went to search you tube a couple days ago and "Lucid Dreams" came up on my "Recommended". Which was very weird as I didn't even know what such a thing was, or how YouTube related it to anything I usually watch). Anyways, this peaked my curiosity so I watched the video. Eventually lead me to Astral Projection. Once I found video after video on this topic I became overwhelmed with... the only way I could explain it is, Hope/Excitement/Love/GREATFULLNESS...

I am excited to start this experience and look forward to hearing from this community as I work through any minor roadblocks that I may come across.

What do you recommend for me starting? I have watched videos, read forms/articles on what to expect and different ways of projection. What is the best way to start should I just jump right in or start trying or get a good knowledge base prior?

I feel like I will have to do this a night time as I have kids and family and it is really the only time that there is next to no noise in my house. If I have an opportunity during the day or morning to relax and focus on projecting I will jump all over it. But I hear it is harder a night. Is there anything you guys can recommend that may help in keeping the mind lucid easer at this time of day?

Thanks you for reading (it ended up being a fairly long into LOL) I appreciate the responses that are going to come and look forward to asking MANY MANY more question.

Also I beleive my wife is able to do this naturally. I will post a thread on this later as why I think this. I am a firm believer that everything happens for a reason and there is a reason YouTube had randomly recommended this to me!!

 Greetings! 

I read that post about your wife on another thread and I see that she wishes to take a more no nonsense approach to this. So if this is true, I would say that she would enjoy this scientific explanation of what is happening when she is awaking in what is known as Sleep Paralysis.

You will find that all of the "Stickies" here. (Threads in BOLD BLUE LETEERS0, are loaded with great info and techniques.

There is so much great info to be found. But also if you go in a blind YouTube search you will find a lot of alarming and misguided ones as well. The "pioneers" of the practice are normally the safest for now. That being Robert Monroe, William Buhlman, Tom Campbell, Robert Peterson, Kurt Leland and many others.

There is a ton of research to be found. But in the end, nothing beats personal explorations! You only need to prove it to yourself!

Greetings! 

Thank you for the welcome. I am not sure what thread you were reading. I have not posted the thread about the wife yet. But will look at the one you say as I am very curious LOL.

Oops, my bad. That should have said "I read that post about your wife on another Forum"!
