I have two questions

[zorgblar]

1.I only project as i am going to sleep.Will taking a shower ever now and then right before this help?
2.Is there any real dangers to astral projection that you know of?

Showers make me feel more comfortable before sleep.

Do you ever personally use the shower method?And you answered my first question but not my second one.Can you answer my second one as well and if you can?

1. It is all in your frame of mind, if you believe taking a shower will help then so be it. Our body "breathes" and takes in oxygen/prana, not only through our nose, but also through the pores of our skin.  I have seen it suggested to: rub your self down with a stiff natural brush, take a cold shower, then rub your skin with a terry cloth towel until pink. This could allow your pores to accept more oxygen/prana, and thus relieve your kidneys. (source Bardon's IIH).  So taking a shower first can help you feel revitalized and possibly help.

2. Danger in OBE remains to be seen, we are all still here talking about our experiences ....
Perhaps you face the danger of being so widely successfully with OBE that the physical worlds loses it's appeal, and your material matters are not dealt with properly.  You run the danger of having a great experience and your perhaps being adamant that there is something "more" to life, which could cause a distancing from family/friends. Or maybe you have a scary expereince, and then this affects your sleep patterns and you are scared to just go to sleep.

As far as being trapped by someone/something in another realm, I personally don't think that is a concern at this stage of the game, and highly unlikely.

Dangers that come to my mind to worry about in the AP is an impossibility of your astral body returning to your physical body. Your body could possibly die without its soul while its trapped in some realm or by some negative entity. By me saying this, we don't know for sure. The only people who know is those who've died this way, and that to the rest of us is still unknown. What I'm saying now could be fact or fiction. I would go by worst case scenario is say that it's fact; there are such dangers. Keep in my mind I'm not that experienced to make documented statements; I'm just sharing my theories, here. Here's the way I see it: I just view every scenario in as many perspectives I can come up with.

PS. Let me add that I cannot think of any dangers to the astral body itself. Reason: The soul, astral body, is life, an energy that cannot be destroyed. Plain science.
