Beginner Question: Is it dangerous to attempt to Project early on?

[Firmitas]

Hello everyone,

I am very happy to have found a forum that is so lively on the topic of AP. I am relatively new to all of this (just started attempting AP 1 month ago).
Anyway my question was, Is it dangerous to attempt to project out of my physical body without much training in the matter?
I just started reading Robert Bruce's Mastering Astral Projection and they briefly mentioned that in doing so, I can create energy blocks that will hinder my chances of projecting. I started off listening to some binaural beats and focusing on relaxing and feeling the presence of my etheric body. I was able to get to the point where i could feel a slight separation from my physical body, extreme beating of the heart chakra, and vibrations. I didnt practice meditating for 2 weeks or so and now when I try, I either just fall asleep or get to the point where my body is relatively numb (not everywhere however just my leggs and arms    ) but nowhere further. So should I just stick to this 90 day program that Robert Bruce talks about to avoid messing things up?

Sorry for the long question, any feedback at all would be great

I look forward to getting to know you all

In my opinion, you've been projecting all your life... dreams.
Our dreams take place in the nonphysical environment of what people refer to as the "astral".

You'll be fine... just take whatever baby steps you feel you require to become accustomed to the experience. 

Oh and welcome to the Astral Pulse forums, Firmitas.

You really can't go wrong with Robert Bruce's 90 days... the primary problem is fear... you probably need to read a lot of experiences of different peopple Slyvan Muldoon  get a feel for what can be encounterd and prepare your mind for understanding that in your astgral form you are invulnerable.

It is not dangerous at all- many people project spontaneously before ever trying to learn.  When I did the program I projected in 30.  However, even if you project right away, I do recommend you follow the program as directed- because it's a  wholistic program, and will teach you a variety of things throughout the whole process, which will come in handy some day, if not this very second.

Thanks for the replies guys

I think I'll just stick to the program and keep meditating like I have been. I've gotten to the point where I always end up falling asleep if I attempt to meditate on my bed so I guess ill have to move it elsewhere. Anyone have any suggestions?

I use a recliner in my bedroom.  It gives me the advantage of privacy (I can close the door) but it's not my bed.

Hi F: Have you read Buhlman's Adventures beyond the body? He suggest that doing any kind of meditative work it is best to have a designated spot, that is not the place you sleep. I would add it might be better to have a special room even if that is possible.
