My first astral experience

[floating_hawaiian]

I'm excited to say that I've encountered my first astral experience early this morning when I was staying up late last night

I've been meditating sober laying on my back before i go to sleep these past weeks while listening to YouTube binaural beats/isochronic and guided meditation videos.  But this past week i was making real progress when my meditating started becoming more deeper and sensational, like floating close to my body while still connected physically.  Last night I was on the brink of ascension when my girlfriend had me return to my body.

Yesterday I smoked weed for the first time in over a month  and it was like a new experience. I would feel myself slip outside of my body very slightly then get jerked back in.  I came home I went to sleep.  I woke up at dusk, stayed up till the early morning when I was tired to do it again.  I was reading about it, smoked some more and I knew I was going to do it.  I tried meditating but was cold because my girlfriend likes to turn the AC on at night, and it kept me from grounding myself.  I instinctively knew holding her hand would help me so I held her hand.  I felt confident and proceeded to meditsting.

I allowed myself to be like a rubber bouncy ball and experienced the sensation of bouncing like a bouncy ball, which led seeing colors dance in my minds eye, then seeing into the void which is unlike seeing the back of my eyelids.  I concentrated on my breathing because controlling my heart rate is the hardest thing  to do when I start to get excited. But this time I was calm and kept it under control with concentration.  I tried rolling out of my body, but that didn't work.  I then started to hear a sound like from the binaural beats/isochronic videos I was used to listening to, but 10 times much more intense and it seemed the sound was causing me to vibrate growing in intensity.  I felt a force of willpower that could control the vibrations, this force that i tapped into and knew instinctively i could be revoke it again if I wanted. I felt myself directing my vibrations also onto my girlfriend too.  With every deep breathe I took, I could feel myself expanding outward over my body.  I was a good yard floating over my body, feeling really exposed to be outside of my physical shell.  At this point, my girlfriend was trying to wake me up but I didn't hear her from my physical body, I heard her from where I was floating.  She was starting to freak out so I returned to my body.

She was freaked out about the vibrations and thought that I was going to attract unwanted entities (she used to be followed by a spirit for a couple years) saying I didn't know I was doing.  I said that nothing could hurt us if I remained positive. In the end we agreed that I wouldnt do it again until we seek spiritual counseling.  Does anyone have any insight or advice for? Please and thank you.
