Feeling frustrated!

[alfa]

Hi All

I am new to this wonderful forum.

In an effort to travel astrally, I try to be mindful in zen-like fashion, because I believe unless I gain some natural tranquility through mindfulness, it'd be impossible to attempt anything else. But so far, nothing has happened. It's so frustrating, I am not good at visualizations. Any advice?

Advice - dont be frusterated ^_^ .

When you do get frusterated go ahead and take a break.  Just keep practicing and not be hard on yourself.  I'm sure there are plenty of posts about visualization, so if you havent tried out the search here give it a go.

Visualization is nice to have, but you can rely on other things as well. I've always been good with feeling things (years of kungfu) so for example instead of picturing myself climbing a robe, I would feel the rope and pretend to climb it with my eyes closed.

One exercise to improve your visualization skills is to fix your gaze at a point in your room for a few seconds, then close your eyes and try to recall every object (the way it looked, where it was) that you can.
