Hi! I astral Project when I least expect it...(long story) need help!

[Skash]

Hello community This is my first post and I would like to say I am very happy I found a community that focus on Astral Projection! This is awesome! I am not sure if this is the right section to post, but I want to explain my history with Astral Projection and my current problems and questions, maybe someone can help me I know this is long, but I hope someone will have to time to read.

So I have known about Astral Projection now for many years, but for the longest time I was "That guy" who was really skeptical about these things. I did not believe, but I wanted to believe, but something happened to me last year that has changed my perception and my life. I experienced what everyone calls "Sleep paralysis" first time I was horrified, I woke up sleeping on my side and could only see my desk next to my bed, not able to move I was hearing what sounded like war planes flying over my house dropping bombs, and hearing explosions. Some how I managed to fall asleep, and then wake up fine. I remembered everything and was freaked out. Time goes on and I forget about it, but then it happens again! second time I am sleeping on my back and I wake up and start hearing strange sounds and I saw an ugly lady staring at me...I was not scared this time because I realized it was happening again after this I knew something was up. I had a 3rd experience where I was hearing sounds from an old mod I played called Counter-strike, the sounds of ak47's firing and hearing "terrorist win!" was creepy while staring at my ceiling not being able to move...and lastly my most recent experience was a naked blonde standing on front of my bed staring at me, in which I tried calling for help but I couldn't even talk. After this I finally decided to research and I found out that what I was experiencing was this Sleep paralysis. During my research I noticed something about Sleep Paralysis being a gateway to Astral Projection, and for some reason now I believed it was entirely possible. I was fully convinced and decided to start practicing.


I started to watch videos, read on websites, and learn as much as I could how to project. I even bought some books. I have been practicing a lot, but I never got these vibrations that people spoke of or buzzing and I sound started to lose faith and thought that maybe this was all bovine excrement. But! one night after I had given up for weeks something happened. I woke up sometime around 3:00 am or 4:00 am to LOUD buzzing noises in my ears and the oddest sensations I have ever felt through out my body. I just layed there in shock and I started to think "Is this the vibrations??" I was so amazed, but after a few minutes it started to calm down and eventually it all went away, and I was sad. After this happened I started up again every night laying in bed trying to project, but again no success. After months again one night I was playing an mmo Star wars the old republic for a long period of time till around 3:00am and I decided to call it a night and go to bed. I just tried going to sleep like any normal night, not really thinking about AP or lucid dreaming, and maybe after 20 minutes I all the sudden became away of this loud buzzing!!!! and again my body was vibrating! also my butt (lol) started to lift up like a balloon or something...I couldn't explain it. But I freaked out and everything stopped. Just recently I started to practice again with no success..and just a few days ago I had vibrations, this time I was well aware and I felt like I was floating, like my whole body was floating, so finally when I thought the time was right I opened my eyes, but ending up ruining everything turns out I was still laying in my bed and all the buzzing and vibrations where lost.


Can anyone help me with this? How do I induce this buzzing vibration while being awake and aware? It happens so random! I have no way of knowing how I triggered it! I would really like to know what caused me to have this random moments of vibration. Also when I wake up and if this happens again, what should I do? Imagine I am floating? Do I open my eyes or leave them shut? Do I need to quite my mind? or is it okay to think. I know I sound like a noob but I am still confused, but I am now well aware this is real. I really want to make this happen. Also I have been drinking coffee and such lately, can this ruin it? Also can Adderall/Vyannse or any stimulate ruin astral projection? I would like to know if it conflicts, as I will stop taking it on days I want to practice.


Cliffs:

-Didn't believe in AP
-Had sleep paralysis
-Became a believer
-Gave up
-Had vibrations and loud buzzing one night after I gave up
-Had it happen again and again, but at random not knowing what triggered it
-Not sure how to go about this but I believe it is real now 100%

Hi Skash, welcome to the Pulse.
You still need to learn more on this. Search fot SOBT.PDF with google, download this free ebook and your questions are answered.
You are doing ok but the fear aspect has to go. Experiences normally do this and can take time, for familiarity to develop you need some experiences where you learn what to expect as natural and keep going further each time. Becoming scared or losing your bottle is counterproductive.
Enjoy your learnings.

I would advise you to forget about trying to get the buzzing noise or any ap sensation.  A lot of times ap sensations do not happen and we can still ap.  I do not think you can make the ap sensations happen.  It happens when it wants it to happen if it is going to happen.  When you get the vibrations, try doing an ap technique.  I would choose a technique that you would enjoy doing the best.  If you like the thought of floating then you can do that technique.  If you freak out that will bring you back to your body.  Keep your eyes closed until you are out of your body.  It is best if your mind is quiet.  I drink coffee and tea and I can still ap.  If I can do it then you can as well.  If you start to think that it might be preventing you to ap then you will find it harder to ap.  You can drink or eat anything you want to.  It will not affect ap in any way unless you have eaten too much and you feel sick or uncomfortable.  I have a tip for you.  If you think you have ruined your ap, the ap sensations has ended, I am sure everyone has been in that situation, it is worthwhile to keep trying to ap.   A few months ago I got some weird vibrations and it ended.  I thought I ruined it.  I decided I would imagine myself jumping and to my surprise I was spiritually jumping.  I realise a lot of times we can get out it is just we do not realise we can get out.

Hi Skash and welcome to the Pulse.

Yes it seems you are very close.  Next time you find yourself in SP, don't try to open your eyes!  If the SP isn't deep, you will likely open your physical eyes and ruin things. Instead, keep your eyes closed and your body relaxed.  Don't do any analytical thinking, it will wake you up. Just observe things without analyzing them (once you have achieved the AP state you can start to analyze again, but at this stage, it will simply wake you up).

Probably the easiest way to achieve "separation" is to simply roll out of your body. I find this easier than floating out. Try to move just one arm as you lie there. The objective is to move your astral arm, not the physical. You will know when you achieve this, because it will feel like you have raised your physical arm, but you will "know" that it is your non-physical arm. Doing this will deepen the SP, hopefully sufficiently to roll out completely.

So now attempt to roll off your bed. Again, you will "know" when you achieve this because it will feel "right". So once you are on the carpet, feel the texture with your hands. This will deepen the SP. Stand up, feel the furniture, feel the wall etc. All of this deepens the SP. Do not open your eyes!  Make your way out of your bedroom. Your vision should kick in. If it doesn't you now need to open your eyes. This requires care! If your SP is sufficiently deep, you will successfully begin to see.  You can now wander around and explore.

This is only one technique, there are many. Good luck!
