transformerman,

Welcome to the forum. You will most likely want to refrain from ALL CAPS. It's considered rude on the internet.

Regarding astral projection at will, it is absolutely possible to learn how to do it. What happens normally when you get to the vibrations?

Best Regards

hello, when i get to the vibration point, my heart speeds up, and i get excited.  making progress i do believe, and to remain calm and focused.  what i am happy about lately i have been able to achieve the vibrational point quite easy.  i hope that doesnt jinx it  lol. meditation, the desire, and a open mind with practice have enabled this to occur.   sorry bout the caps lock.  love this web site  thank you.

Yeah, I have been at this for the last 3 months. I have never had any issues with exiting, my issue is getting into the trance, I have many distractions and a 3 year old .

There are several exit techniques including imagining yourself become lighter or heavier and then twisting out. You can also image yourself rolling out (which has worked for me several times). I always imagine these things first person.

Hi. I have been OBEing for about 20 years now.  For me, I have varying ability to do it at will.  Sometimes, it is relatively easy.  I can do it on average about 50% of the time when I try to.  But, I dont always try since it takes time.  Anyway, to be honest, once you can OBE when you want, you are better positioned to analyze what is happening and to try things.  For me, there are lots of factors that lead to being able to OBE readily ... Now, I tend to know beforehand whether I will have high success or not.  For me, a few things help to doing it at will: a) thinking about doing it during the day (and, about what you want to achieve in the OBE), b) reminding yourself before you sleep that you will do it, c) getting up a bit early (like 6 am for me, washing up and using the restroom ... to enable you to relax fully ... well, sorry but it is actually important, I think), d) then, going to bed and focusing on the OBE stuff...  Anyway, I think d) has some key aspects too ... but, to some extent, I think what you do beforehand is very important too.  Anyway, I am guessing that you are familiar with d) ...  At least, for me, it took a while before I realized that there were things to do during the day that would help.  Also, it helped me too when I realized that there is not so much a dichotomy or separation between dreaming and the waking world.  So, thinking about it during the day is not so much taking time out, but kind of realizing and seeing how aspects relate here too.  Anyway, i am not sure if that makes sense.  that is just how I got to be more consistent with it.

Oh yes, I forgot, for me eating lots of veggies and a completely natural diet helps enormously too...

Sometimes, I will go on all raw veggy binges (fruits, nuts, veggies) for a few weeks and my OBEs become very intense....

Anyway, later,
Spark

thanks so much for taking the time to respond! i tend to get bummed out sorta, lately i have not been able to reach even the vibrational point.  and wonder whats up. although i have dreams of flying around, like outside, but have no real control over it.  guess i will keep trying.  i feel this is an important part of my spiritual progress and look at it in this way, not something to fool around with. is it common to go through a lull period   probably so as life is.  enjoy the information here.  thanks!

Yes, same here. I actually think that eventually all humans will Astral Project and that people will be out of the physical more than in the physical. I like to think of us as pioneers. (and for spark, this is just my opinion, this may or may not ever happen or be true)

Keep it up and please continue to share with us your results.

Hi.  Althought I have done this stuff for a long time, I try not to make too many assumptions.  I personally tend to think that everyone already Astral Projects.  But, i think that they kind of do it poorly.  Basically, I think that is sort of what dreaming is all about.  I think it is kind of day dreaming thru a dream.  I think all these words like OBE, astral projection, lucid dreaming, etc., muddy up the water.  I think it is all about focus and viewing without forcing the situation, and embracing in "love" which I think is kind of the same thing as riding the vibrational waves (i.e., sort of like floating in harmony with the world).  Anyway, I have gone on and off here and there.  But, in general, I can tell now if I am ready to OBE well. ... Sort of by how I feel.  I think it is helpful not to worry about it too much.  Also, I think meditating helps.  And, I think it helps to focus on trying to get there from a dream.   But, even for me, I find myself getting stuck in silly dreams where i am sort of close to clear minded but not really being so clear -- like showing folks that I can fly since I am an OBERs...
Anyway, good luck...
Regards,
Spark
