Astral projection is dark - tips required

[TheBlade123]

I've been having some issues where my astral projections are dark. I've tried a couple of things with 'limited' success. I have tried rubbing my astral eyes and saying the command word 'I demand clarity', this does not always work.

Have you got any tips to make the projection brighter?

So you're saying you can't see? Or your vision's a bit dim, like the lights are turned down?

If your vision's a bit fuzzy, just repeat "clarity" in your head passively a few times and maybe your sight will turn sharp enough for you to see properly. This happened to me when I first projected, (It actually happened monday this week! I am yet to check if it was a true projection) where I floated out and found everything a bit hazy at first, until I sort of thought "clarity" and that was when my vision's sharpness and vividness were amplified instantly!

And by passively, I mean not trying to see! some people on this forum taught me that forcing it doesn't work very well at all.

From my experience its all about how much belief you put into your commands.

If you phase and cannot see and simply say the word "clarity" with no emotion attached you usually will not get very far... Even if you had strong intent behind it, It still may fail.

The key is believing it, No within your self before you have even muttered a word that what you are about to ask for is going to happen, Was going to happen and will always happen. "Clarity" you will be saying it with knowing as if it has already been done a million times before. Treat it like a walk in the park, You got this. 

If you were able to see my astral facials when I make commands I would be wearing a cheeky grin Why? Because I no as soon as im asking for something its already starting to happen, That's the key. 

After all you are the master creator here, You have complete control this is your play ground! What you say goes.

You say this doesn't always work... so then sometimes it does? 

It's a matter of how much awareness you have and the Intent placed behind the desired result.
Either increase your awareness first... or increase the Intent you place.  Or both.  Preferably both.

^ THIS. I actually meditate before bed some nights, of which can help increase awareness! I recommend meditation to put your mind in the zone before you sleep. (Or AP, depends on the time you wish to do it. )

The being passive applies to getting INTO the NP.
Once you find yourself in an environment, you need to interact with it as much as you can. This itself gives clarity and increases your awareness.
You also need to KNOW within yourself it works every time.
Doubt's of not getting the clarity you want will manifest, this keeps you in the dark. Your thoughts do the driving, what they are becomes real.
After a few hundred experiences, this becomes second nature.
This is why fears HAVE to be controlled.

Do you mean by picking up objects and touching everything?

Its known as grounding, go to the home page and search.
When you are in an environment other than the physical, (the NP), you can pick up objects and feel them. Spin around, get busy with some touchy feely action. This wakes you and fully phases you into the environment. It will be perceived as being awake in most experiences. There's obviously differences to the physics, anything you think of can manifest. This includes things being dark if you expect it.
Interact and it'll be lighter giving you a better experience. Not being completely phased can have its advantages, this is something you can learn to do once you've had many experiences and become very familiar with the governing ruleset dependant upon the environment you're experiencing.

Try this:

Stretch out your 'astral arms' before you. Feel your 'astral hands' and rub them (or clap). While you do this look at them (or where they should be/appear in the dark) before you.

Since you might be in The Void it would also be cool that while you do this that you intend your point where you want to go as this is also a method of travelling / teleportation.

Normally this should work after a while. The darkness vanishes slowly and it is a kind of blending into the scene where you see your hands and then the situation around you, whereever you wanted to go or just landed without your control.

Hi

Your command is wrong. the command should be "clarity now" .......

Why? because demand is not a "intention" as clarity now is..  Leaving they body is all about what you intend to do. Fine its dark out.. the only reason it is dark is because you see it as dark.Sorry for the post..not being mean to you.

Sometimes I leave the body blind,,I leave through sensation, inner felling, done that before when I could see..   all you guys are so close..and its nice read posts of success.,

I'll do that!

I had an AP this morning, I actually came out of a different bed in an unknown house. That never happened before .. anyway .. about 1.5 minutes into the AP it was losing focus so did as you said. I started touching everything the carpet, threw a ball, touching clothes anything I could get my hands on. And everything came back into focus! The AP lasted about 15 minutes. The biggest issue I have been having is consistency, massive improvement, really exciting, thank you!

I will certainly give it a go!
