The Beginning, now...how do you start to project?

How does one go about projecting?
do you start with lucid dreams and go from there?

Hello vunderbal

If you're saying that there's a lot of information here and you don't know where to start, I'd suggest you read the Astral FAQs section and then the Welcome to Permanent Astral Topics Section (lots of methods in there).

Pick a method that sounds good to you and try it out for a couple of months.  If you don't get anywhere, find another method and try that one out for the next two months and so on.  Above all, go easy on yourself and try not to get frustrated.

Everyone will have a slightly different way of doing things and no one way is any better than another, and certainly no one way is right whilst the other is wrong.

The key is finding your own personal way.  It's not an easy thing, but the rewards far outweigh the effort.

My way is through relaxation.  And then relaxing even more.  And when you think you can't possibly relax any more than you already are, you double the level of relaxation.  Not easy.  And most often I fall asleep.

Lucid dreaming is a popular way to start.  But lucid dreaming is not particularly easy to maintain (in my opinion).

Anyhow, choose something that you like the look of, and give it a go.  

Ultimately, you will find your own way.  It may be similar to one of the written methods, but you'll personalise it to suit you.

Good luck!
