Dreaming/Imagination or first conscious projection?

[AstralVibe]

Hi all! Wow! That was so weird, and amaaaaaazzzzzzing at the same time. It hit me so unexpectedly. Finally, I think I just experienced my first conscious semi Astral Projecting. I was Lying on bed, with a very high pillow, double pillow actually ( Best way to avoid the swallowing issue so many beginners get. Anyway, back to the story, I was just practicing relaxation on my bed, just letting myself drift away, I was doing this for awhile.

Then I heard people coming home from my parents home. First it was my brother and his family, but I somehow didn't hear their entrance, then I heard my sister coming home, then my parents.

Then all of a sudden boom! Total darkness, and here comes the vibration, then boom! I'm sinking into a dark hole? I then unconsciously ( I guess from all the practice ), tried to get up. I felt the vibration getting stronger, and then the so call "jet engine" noise I keep reading about, came onto my right side of hearing. It was kind of like a boom, but not a smooth one, rumbling so hard and loud. After that I think I projected halfway or fully for a few second, and either the vibration, or sound, or both made me jump back to my physical. When I snap back to my physical body, I felt alot of energy all over my body, and for some reason, it started to float again.

Now, was I dreaming or imagining all of this? It happen so suddenly, so quickly, that I'm not sure what to think, and it is also my first time so I wanted to confirm with all of you who had experience this. I didn't even get to stay out long, whether I actually did projected fully. I probably only projected halfway, since I still could hear/feel the vibration. I had always gotton vibrations in my meditation, sometime strong ones, which reach all the way to my head. But most of the time, I never felt like this with the sinking in the dark hole, and jet engine noise.

The past I had problem with relaxing, for some reason, when I meditate, only half of my body would float. Top half of my body would seem to be more difficult to float nowaways. I guess it is because of the swallowing problem ( anyone having problem with that should try to add more pillow, so that you will be kind of elevated on top part of your body ).

So please comment on any part of this as you wish, and any idea how to improve anything would be greatly appreciated. I hope I will get another conscious projection tonight, woohoo, what an exhilarating experience. Can only imagine what the adventure would be like. It seems that the key to projecting is, like many of the members have stated, is relaxation. However, you cannot relax very well, without fixing the swallowing problem. For beginners like me at least.

P.S. Oh yeah, I was sitting under my 1 1/2 foot base pyramid before this. I'm also trying to build a large copper pyramid, any idea on where I could find high quality copper? I went to Home Depot, Orchid, and private ware house, but they only have a few size, let alone types.

P.P.S. I want to  get some crystal too, I read that Clear Quartz are good as an amplifier/focus, and Amethyst, is good for healing and psychic energy? Any recommendations for crystals? Also how can you avoid paying for cheap/fake, or manufacture crystal? I bought a book called, "The Crystal Bible" by Judy Hall, it had great reviews so I wanted to give it a shot. But for some reason I order around Dec 25th, I know, bad idea, and yet it still hasn't arrive yet. Hah! Must be lost or stuck some where still..

the engine noise is a little wierd and can be a distraction which ruins the whole thing, but if you stay relaxed like you did you're on your way!

Congratulations


amen to the swallowing problem btw.. i've had countless potential projections ruined thanks to that! i cant sleep with a high pillow, somtimes i even sleep with none. So i'll try using a thicker one or 2 for when i want to project from now on... great idea thanks!! Also a tip.. i've found that the sinking sensation you speak of, is good to get familiar with, i often think about how it feels and try to induce it in my body which speeds things along when you're trying to relax. You sort of have to 'let go' of your body so to speak.


As for crystals, i've found having a small cluster of amethyst next to my bed hasnt done much for me. Maybe an obelisk, a larger cluster or even a geode might do the trick. Tho i have had some success with a small glass pyramid on my sideboard, in that it helps me remember my dreams more but thats about all i've noticed (so maybe an amethyst pyramid?)

Hey Spawn_Xe, thx for reply, why is my post so lonely? Hehe. Anyway about your experience with the crystal, maybe they are too small, or maybe you haven't charged them? Some people may say crystals are a cause of the placebo effect, but I recall Edgar Cacye doing a reading and mentioning that the Atlantean had used powerful crystal to advance in their civilization. Cacye readings seem to be very accurate, so there must be more than meets the eye.

Maybe you should try to build a pyramid, you can go orchid and buy the sticks, and just saw and hammer them to gether. Very cheap to make.

For the pyramid, there was actually extensive private research done by several if not many folks who are in different background with totally different sets of skills. It is documented in books, that the pyramid, if builded to PHI (or PI), and lined upto the magnetic north, would have alot of benefits to living and non living objects.

Trees and plants seem to grow 2-3 time faster and bigger, food, wine, and water seem to taste better. Theres a few books you can get on amazon.com, called " Pyramid Power" by Dr. G. Pat Flanagan, which talks alot about his research with different size and shape with pyramids. If you want the measurement, let me know, I'll post it.

It is also said to enhance meditation, and what ever is inside a pyramid, in the cellular and DNA level, seems to changed dramatically for the better (like returning everything to its perfect form). He said that its not the material that makes a difference, but the size and aligning it to magnetic north, not true north, which require some calculation.

The pyramid can not be a placebo effect, because I have read a few people in forum and blogs, constructing research on them, and they confirm that it is true. I too will begin to conduct alot of pyramid research on different life forms, and will return here with my findings. I will also buy the energy meter, which is expensive.

P.S. Sleeping with more pillow is not bad, as long as you elevate your whole upper body. Just like elevated beds.
