How to Astral Project

How do I astral project
I have the vibrations and I am mostly  thoughtless and I have desire but I still can't project.

Yes you can project. Negative thoughts like that won't help you out any! Just keep trying, if you feel like you are close to projecting, then you are! Have a little patience, when you are laying down or whatever body position you chose, and you get to that point where you are feeling the vibs, just go for it. I know you can do it, you just need to know yourself that you can do it. Don't doubt yourself. Do you ever just TRY to feel yourself getting up and walking out of your body? Or the "rope" technique? Perhaps at that point, you can start to utilize one of these techniques. Just let yourself go, and assure yourself that you CAN astral project. Don't doubt yourself. I look forward to seeing your report on your first projection!

That's a very cute sentence with all the colors but I see no relevant information in it.
What are you doing as a practice, technique, or procedure, and where do you stop?

[jc87]

I relax my body             

I do breathing exercices and count to 50 to clear my mind

I then focus on astro projecting while watching the colors but all I get to is the vibrations

I came across this and thought you might be interested in it. It was posted on another forum by a member called Hyak. It talks about what to do after you have experienced the vibrations. The link to the post is provided below.



Hello all, this is Hyak.

I've decided to create this guide about vibrations for many reasons. I've been seeing many people asking questions about them, like what to do when encountering them, and asking what they are. Usually the first time somebody experiences them, they aren't sure what they are, or if they have anything to do with projection. If in some other case they are indeed familiar with them and their nature, they may not know what to do. I've decided to make this to help all of you people, even those experienced with them, to get a better understanding of how they work, and much more.

What are these vibrations?

Well, different people have their own opinion and explanation for this phenomena, and I also have my own.

As I understand from scientific explanation,  there are vibrations of certain frequencies and amplitudes. I'm not sure if the vibrations that science describes are relative to the vibrations that we feel that seem to be metaphysical, but there is still my theory that they are related. Now the way that science describes vibrations, they are simply energetic matter that exists in all objects and space. Basically everything contains energy that vibrates at its own frequency, and as I understand, that frequency can change from time to time. So you, being a physical object with your physical body, also contain vibrations. Why don't you ever feel them you ask? Well, that's because of all of the other bodily activities occurring in your body. However, as you probably know, you can in fact feel them sometimes. This usually takes place during sleep paralysis, the period when your physical body sleeps, and usually takes your consciousness with it. So, this is why the vibrations occur to many during their attempts to project. This is because, once you're in sleep paralysis, you lose all sensations and realization of your physical body's physical functions. So now, you can feel all the energy in your body vibrating at a certain frequency, usually depending on how much energy you have consumed in the period of time from your last OBE to then. To sum it up, the vibrations you feel are just energy you've accumulated surging through your body.

How do I recognize these vibrations?

Well there are many ways that you may perceive them, unfortunately only some are the actual thing. So, I?ll place here some of the most common ways people explain them as.

-Waves coursing throughout the body violently.
-A ring of energy making its way through the body.
-Uncontrollable shaking, pulse fluctuating.
-The feeling you get while laying in your bathtub, water knocking you back and forth.
-A loud buzzing vibrating the body, dominating your ears.

There may be more, but these are all I can think of. They pretty much give you a good enough idea of what they are. For those that may confuse them with other sensations, here's what they aren't.

-A tingling, tickling sensation in entire body, or just partial areas.
A veil of warmth throughout the body.

Okay, now that you know how to recognize them, I'll tell you the symptoms that usually occur before you actually get them. This will allow you time to get prepared before they begin, allowing a quick and easy exit. These symptoms usually signal the vibrations are about to come on:

-A loud buzzing, or ringing noise in your ears. It may also appear as a static-like noise.
-A tingling sensation throughout the entire body.
-Heaviness of your body, sinking, or floating feeling.
-Numbness in partial areas of your body. (Do not confuse this with the "Needles and Pins" sensation!)
-Lightness or unawareness of your physical body.
-An electric surge of energy sparking in your body.
-Internal movements such as spinning, or rolling.
-The Hypnogogic State will also count as a cue that the vibrations are coming.

Now that we have all of that covered, you probably would like to get to how to actually deal with these "Vibrations." Well, there are many ways you can confront them, all unique to each person. I will list here a variety of techniques, also the best (not essential!) positions to be in while attempting them, beginning with my favorite of all:

The Roll-out: This is one of the simplest exit techniques to use once in sleep paralysis. To do this, once you lose all awareness of your body, or the vibrations start: Act as if you?re physically rolling out of your bed, onto the ground. Don't just think this, actually do it. Instead of your physical body rolling out it will be your astral/ethereal though.
Position: Lying on your back or stomach.

The Rope: Once in sleep paralysis feel yourself climbing up a rope that's placed above you. Don't visualize it, just feel it. Feel yourself climbing up slowly, putting force on your body.
Position: Any.

The Ladder: Similar to the rope technique, but pretend you're climbing up or down a ladder. No visualization required.
Position: Any.

The Rocket: Pretend that you're in a rocket and it's about to lift off. Count down from 10 to 1, with every number feel the vibrations growing in energy and power. On 1, feel the rocket flying up very quickly, with all of the pressure moving downwards on you.
Position: Lying on your back or stomach.

The Log: This is somewhat similar to the roll-out, but requires some visualization. Visualize that you're a log on the top of a tall mountain. Now visualize yourself rolling down it at a very high speed. While visualizing it, imagine how it would feel, and actually try imitating the motions with your ethereal body. It should roll out like a log into the ethereal/astral.
Position: Any.

The Sit-up: Simple. Sit up quickly using your ethereal body. Similar to how a sit-up would be done.
Position: Lying on your back.

The Zero Gravity: While in sleep paralysis, imagine you're in space and being pulled upwards by a strong force. Or you can imagine you're just floating about, weightless. This technique can also be done to bring on sleep paralysis, or the vibrations.
Position: Any.

The Perception Shift: While in the sleep paralysis state, try moving your perception to another area, such as the foot of your bed. Now visualize you pulling yourself toward that location. It's almost as if you're using your own force from another area to pull your ethereal body into your grasp. This can also be used as a way to induce sleep paralysis or vibrations.
Position: Any.

There may be more, but I can't remember them, or I've never heard of them before. Remember, it isn't required to be in the positions I assigned each technique. I just recommend it because I think it works better that way. The only one that is required to be on the back is the sit-up, because you can't sit up in any other position (at least I don't think.)

Now, almost done here, but just a few more things about these vibrations. Some may know it's possible to raise the vibrations power willfully, but there's also some ways to get them more often. I've done a few experiments and have discovered that the following will lead to more accurate, powerful vibrations.

- Deep meditation

-Thoughts, mind content

- Experience

- Veggies

- A full stomach (not too full!)

- Resonant Tuning

- Opening your chakras

Those are just the things that I have found will help, you can probably find more through experimentation.

jc87,

I'm curious how long it takes for you to get the vibrations, since that's my problem.  Once I get the vibrations I typically don't have trouble getting out of my body, but it seems like I can be in the ol' mind awake/body asleep state for an hour but no vibes - arrgg.

Anyway, the first two or three times that I got vibrations I also wasn't successful in actually getting out of my body. In retrospect I get the feeling that from some *energy* standpoint I wasn't ready and that when I was it finally happened.  And since I got out the first time I haven't had any troubles getting out once I get to that vibrational state.  I think it took me just a few weeks to get to that vibrational state and then probably another three or four weeks, during which I got the vibes again two or three times - before I actually was successful at getting out.

If you find that you can't get out, what you may want to do is just focus on raising one or both of your astral arms and seeing them through your closed eyelids.  Then try with your feet.  you may also want to send some thoughts out there into the universe indicating that you would like some help.  on either my 1st or 2nd successful obe, in retrospect, I think someone helped me.  I was horizontal in bed and had vibrations and suddenly it felt as if someone spun my body 180 degrees and instantly I was out of my body and on my hands and knees beside the bed.

Good luck.

Just focus on your breathing and the darkness 

And I'm 14 could that be the problem

How long have you been practicing OBE induction and breath control?
The reason I ask is that most people do not have an OBE for at least several weeks, or even several months, after getting started. It took me about 4 or 5 months to have the first OBE.
A lot of people lose patience and give up after a couple of weeks. And that's too bad because most of the people who quit Would have had an OBE if they had continued trying.
Try not to be impatient. The OBE will happen, it just may take a few weeks.
