Achieving consciousness state for Astral phasing

Greetings Frank!

What I have started to do is save copies of my posts on my hard-drive under various folder headings. This gives me the benefit of being able to cut and paste when answering common questions. Plus, I'm also formulating a Phasing FAQ list and have the idea also of once I've collated enough posts I can convert these into various articles; which I'm hoping Adrian will allow me to publish on the resources section.

That way newcomers will have the lion's share of the Phasing information in 2 or 3 chunks rather than having to search through a mountain of separate posts. As for publishing a book, I think the e-book route might be a future possibility. Something that explains the whole Phasing notion right from square one would be nice. But I'll have to collate quite a bit more information before I have enough to fill a book.

This sounds really excellent!  Thank you very much indeed for taking the time to do this that others may benefit.

You can be sure that you can have as much resources here as you require to publish your work, and we can have a sticky topic in this forum linking to it as well.

A book on Astral phasing really would be something, and I am certain it would be a huge success. I hope this is something that comes to fruition.

With best regards,

Adrian.

Adrian: Thank you for your encouraging comments and I am indeed grateful for your offer.

Basically, I'm looking for ways to get the Phasing information across more efficiently. What started out as an interesting conversation, over a year later, has grown into its own forum complete with oodles of posts.

Those who have been around for a while are pretty much in-touch with the basics. But for beginners, it must be quite a task searching through all the posts trying to piece this and that together.

Yours,
Frank

Greetings Frank!

Yes, I could not agree more.

The posts in this forum, and in particular your own contain a wealth of advanced knowledge and information on phasing/Astral projection, that, in my opinion, are far in advance of any book that I am aware of. There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that phasing is the way forward for Astral exploration. Indeed, I also believe that the ancients used to use phasing as well, until the entire concept of Astral projection went off course with the "OBE" phenomena.

Phasing has got us back on course, and at the same time, thanks in no small part to your own efforts, provided for a modern and achievable method of Astral exploration within the reach of everyone.

For quite some time now I have been also considering the creation of our own Astral meeting place (and I mean Astral - not some place in the etheric reflection of the physical world), and which can be accessed by anyone of any ability. This would not only provide for a very real meeting place for experienced Astral projectors to meet and share experiences and compare notes afterwards, but would also be a training ground where people can progress from a simple "mental" presence to full Astral presence over time. More on this later.

Please let me know whne you are ready and what you require, and we can progress things straightaway.

With best regards,

Adrian.

Frank, Adrian, or anyone else who can give an advice;
Tried to phase about half an hour ago, but without the Wave I CD (verbal guidance and specific timings are not things I like too much) and without a mental primer (it's much easier for me to suppress my inner voice while concentrating on a single thing instead of running scenes - should allow phasing just as well I believe). After a short while I started to feel something like a buzzing in my forehead with a varying intensity and then my whole body started to feel as if it's spinning around quickly. It all lasted for about 10 minutes I assume. Are those the famous vibrations I hear about? And if so, what am I supposed to do next in order to project? Or maybe I can phase from this stage too (preferable)?

P.S
Adrian, I think that if it's feasible, the Astral meeting place is a wonderful, wonderful idea []

Thanks, Daniel

Greetings everyone,

I have been contemplating the concept of the "Astral locale" members meeting place for quite some time, and have researched it, and I am quite sure it could work very well.

I don't want to go into too many details at this juncture, but it would work something like this.

I would find (perhaps with the help of people here) a first rate graphic artist to create an Astral locale as a graphic which would be posted here in the forums under the project topic. We could possibly all have a say in the construction and features. The Astral locale would anyway be very carefully thought out, and have such features as meeting places, and also "doorways" to other realms, e.g. the realms of the Elements as well as a portal for other parts of the Astral.

The creation of the locale itself will give it an initial Astral presence - everything created in the imagination is created in the Astral initially - but usually only transiently. The graphic would be posted here as the reference point for phasing - similar to the imagery of the Monroe tapes, except we would all us the same imagery - the Astral locale. Everyone can participate in this! Those that can phase already will be able to phase to the locale in the Astral and meet with others. Those that cannot yet phase will start with a sort of meditation, which will consist of a degree of relaxation, while keeping the image in mind and imagining travelling and being there. After mentally arriving you would mentally walk around the locale and observe the features. Soon enough, a simple mental presence will be achieved which might or might not be perceivable by the other participants. Over time however, with repeated practice, the mental presence will become stronger and stronger, and soon become a full Astral phased presence perceivable by all. As more and more people participate, the Astral locale will become more and more "solid" and permanent, and more and more energetic. This is how locales are created by the Astral residents themselves - repeated use of a created locale gives it permanency.

This will not only provide the possibility for a shared Astral experience, but at the same time provide those that cannot yet phase the focal point and motivation to succeed, and supported by everyone else. Experiences and notes can be compared here. The doorways and portals can then be used for onward exploration. I think this would provide a multitude of purposes, including but not limited to assisting people in the phasing process, providing a meeting place, and performing group activities such as retrievals and exploration. I would hope that it would be possible to attract the presence of permanent Astral residents - helpers, guides and many others. It could also be potentially used as a place for meeting deceased relatives, friends and loved ones, by incorporating the methods of Bruce Moen and his friends.  

I would be interested to get some feedback on this idea.

With best regards,

Adrian.

Hi Adrian

 I think that`s a great idea! I could use a location in the Astral to help with navigation which for me is still a hit and miss affair.I look forward to hearing more.

Thanks

What you describe, i.e. the buzzing in the head and feelings of spinning around, these sensations are ever so typical of the beginning stages of Astral projection in a more traditional sense. What you probably experienced was a very short, blind projection into the real-time zone: where you spun around a few times and that was it.

It will take time before you find your feet, so to speak, and overcome the "fish out of water" effect by gradually refining the process and becoming more familiar with the various sensations. Problem is, at this stage, a lot depends on the person. For example, you already discovered a still scene works better for you than a moving one (it just so happens I am the exact opposite). What you need to do then is keep exploring these sensations and carry-on down a path of basic trial and error.

After a while, you will learn how to anticipate the onset of the vibrations and how to control them. That way, rather than having them buzzing about all over the place with varying intensity, you will be able to control their intensity. Once you become more practiced, you will find the vibrations take on a much higher pitch to the extent where you hardly notice them. The comparison is a lot like taking-off in a Microlight -versus- a Learjet 45.

Something which just popped into mind, I used to practice, is what I'd call "bathing" in the vibrations. What I mean is you hold them at a particular pitch and intensity so you end up floating just above your physical body just enjoying the buzzing feeling. After a few minutes, gradually shut them down so to bring you back to Physical (C1). Then do the same again. Also, when you get to the stage where the vibrations are more or less under your control, i.e. where you are hovering in mid-air just buzzing away merrily, try taking some deep breaths and see if that has any effect.

NOTE: When I say "breaths" I don't mean taking actual Physical breaths though it will feel like the same action. I found the act of breathing in and out, both at the preliminary vibrational stage and while within the Astral (not that there is any actual need to breathe within the Astral), has some very interesting effects.

Yours,
Frank

Greetings Adrian,

What an excellent idea! Im sure there is not one person here who would not benefit from the creation of such a locale. The possibilities it will create are staggering.I will certainly pour as much thought energy into this as I possibly can.

Take care

[christuone]

as a new member i would like to completely concur with the sentiments expressed by "quebec" on the 29th april... especially how valuable it is to have many explanations/approaches to the same levels consciousness presented to us all.  

frank,  i can't say enough. i've been spinning my wheels for 25 years. sometimes with success, more often laziness. you've been an inspiration.

adrian. the "astral locale" will also provide similar motivation, especially for those of us still  on the lower end of the learning curve.   i look forward to the possibilities.

thanks, nicholas

[hypnotist]

My favorite technique is Hypnosis. I go past Alpha and into Theta Brain Wave which is (hypnosis-Somnambulism-and Lucid Dreaming) all and the same. I dont go to the next 3 levels beyond Somnambulism which is the Esdaile State, Canatonic State,and the last is Ultra Depth or (Sichort State).

I can go into it with my key work "DEEPLY RELAX" which is a post hypnotic word I use for meyself. As I say it in my mind I go back to that same level of relaxation within seconds.

Here is the Hypnosis Script that I use. When you see each of these (...) pause for 4 seconds.  Speak softly and in a monotome voice. Have some else read it to you or tape it in your own voice on a tape recorder.  Lay back and don't cross your legs and have your arms on your side of your body.
______________________________________________________________________

                    PROGRESSIVE RELAXATION
                           (supine)

Speak slowly and pause between instructions.  Have your subject(s) lay in a comfortable
Positioin.  It is recommended to have the knees raised up to avoid unnecessary strain of the back muscles.  A small pillow under the neck to help give support to the neck is also beneficial.  Be sure that any tight fitting clothing is loosened and jewelry removed during the relaxation.  Lighting should be lowered and to deaden the sound of outside noises, soft background music complementing your session could be played.  Please do not say, "SLEEP" during the progressive.  When bringing the subject(s) up, do not us the word "AWAKE".  (This is a camouflage method of hypnosis).  Remember, to avoid the word hypnosis at all times.  The wording is as follows. Start reading aloud below this line.
______________________________________________________________________
Close your eyes and keep them closed until I ask you to open them.  Now I want you to take a deep breath, filling your lungs up completely and then let that breath out slowly...Now take a second deep breath and let that out slowly also...Now I want you to take another very deep and comfortable breath filling your lungs up completely and this time hold that breath...(long pause)...Now let that breath out very slowly and already you can feel your body begin to relax...

Now let that wonderful, comfortable feeling of relaxation flow ALL the way DOWN to your feet, just feel your feet becoming very comfortable and very relaxed...If you don't feel it in your feet right away don't worry about it, for it will gradually catch up to you...

Now let that wonderful, comfortable feeling of relaxation flow from your feet up into your ankles...from your ankles up all the large and small muscles of your legs to your knees...from your knees up all the large and small muscles of your thighs... into your hips...from your hips into your abdomen and with each and every breath that you exhale I want you to allow your body to go deeper into this wonderful relaxed state...

Now let that wonderful feeling of relaxation flow right up into your back...just let all of those large and small muscles of your neck relax...as it flows right up into your shoulders...over your shoulders...and down deep into your chest...such a wonderful feeling, just going DEEPER and DEEPER...as that relaxation flows down all the large and small muscles of your arms to your elbows...from your elbows down to your wrists...into your hands...all the way out to your fingers and with each and every breath that you exhale your body just keeps right on relaxing deeper and deeper...


Now let this wonderful feeling of relaxation flow up into your neck...feel all these large and small muscles of your neck relaxing...flowing right up into your head ...over your head...and DOWN into your brow...all the muscles around your eyes, relax...Now if you have your teeth clenched, just unclench your teeth and your body will relax much more...just let your jaw sag and all the body muscles will go loose and limp as a RAG DOLL as you go deeper into this wonderful relaxed state...

As I count from one down to three I want you to allow your body to go deeper into this beautiful relaxed state ... so One ... deeper and deeper ... Two ... more and more relaxed ...Three ... very deep, very comfortable and very relaxed ... with just pleasant, contented thoughts going through your mind and marvelous feeling going through your body, and your whole body is giving in, letting go...you're warm and comfortable...relaxing deeper as all the sounds around you send you deeper ... any sound that you hear sends you even deeper ... the sound of my voice sends you deeper ...

So, as I keep on talking you just keep on relaxing deeper and deeper into this wonderful relaxed state ... with each breath that you exhale, you go deeper ... the beat of your heart sends you deeper...any and all sensations that you experience send you deeper ... with each thought that you think you go deeper and deeper ... DOWN into a wonderful deep relaxed state ... just feel your muscles loose and limp as a RAG DOLL ...

Now again I will count, but this time I will count from one down to five and as I count form one down to five you will allow your body to double its relaxation...So one...your relaxation is slowly starting to double...two...your relaxation is doubling more and more ... three ... you're very comfortable and relaxed ... four your relaxation has almost doubled...five your relaxation now has doubled completely thoughout your whole body ... from the top of your head to the tip of your toes all the muscles in your body have relaxed and doubled their relaxation ... you feel so relaxed and comfortable that all of your muscles are going loose and limp as a RAG DOLL ...

Now again I will count from one down to five ... and as I count ... from one down to five ... this time the body will triple its relaxation ... one ...relaxation is starting to triple ... two ... relaxation is tripling more and more ... three ... you are very comfortable ... very relaxed ... four ... relaxation now has almost triple in the body ... five ... relaxation now has tripled in the body ... from the top of your head to the tips of your toes ... all the muscles have relaxed ... doubled their relaxation ... and tripled their relaxation ...

All the muscles are loose and limp as a RAG DOLL ... all the nerves are calm ... relaxed ... all the body tissues are rejuvenating in this wonderful relaxed state ... just sinking DOWN ... just letting go ... deeper and deeper into relaxation ...


Now again I will count ... but this time from one down to ten ... and this time as I count from one down to ten ... your mind will relax as your body is relaxed ... and with every count your body will double the relaxation it has at that time ... one ...your mind is relaxed as the body is relaxed and the body is doubling the relaxation it has at this time ... two ... your mind is relaxed as the body is relaxed and the body is doubling the relaxation it has at this time ... three ... the mind is relaxed as the body is relaxed and the body is doubling the relaxation it has at this time ... four ...
same thing ...five ... keep right on going ... six ... seven ... eight ... nine ...ten ...
your mind is completely relaxed as the body is relaxed and the body has doubled its relaxation many times over ...

You don't care what day it is ... you don't care what time it is ... you don't care about anything but how good you feel ... how wonderful you feel ... going deeper and deeper relaxed ...

Now I want you to go even deeper ... still deeper ... so this time double the relaxation you have in the body right now ... and when this is doubled I want you
to try to say "A" ...it only takes a few seconds ...you feel so good, so comfortable, so relaxed ... you don't even feel like saying "A" ...but now I want you to go deeper yet ... still deeper ... and when it is doubled ... try to say "B" ... again you feel so good, so comfortable, so relaxed ... that you don't even feel like saying "B" ... but now I want you to really let yourself go ... just as though you were on a spiral sliding board ... just sliding on DOWN to the basement of relaxation ... so again double the relaxation you have in your body at this time ...and when it is doubled then try to say "C" ... again you feel so good, so comfortable, so relaxed that you don't even feel like saying "C"...

So jusk keep on sinking DOWN deeper and deeper ... as I keep on talking the body just keeps right on sinking DOWN ... deeper and deeper ... into a wonderful...deep state of relaxation ... where the mind is passive ... and you feel wonderful ... where your arms are heavy ... where your legs are heavy ... very heavy ...very comfortable ... heavy feeling ... the arms and legs are so heavy, so comfortable, so relaxed that when I ask you to lift an arm or leg ... you'd find that they are so comfortable, so heavy, so relaxed that you don't feel like lifting them ... but nevertheless I want you to try to lift your left leg ...O.K. stop trying ... let it relax it feels so much better resting where it is ... it's so comfortable and you feel so good, so wonderful and so relaxed...

This will happen every day and every night ... and this wonderful good feeling will stay with you every day ... at all times ... deeper and deeper relaxed ... very deep ... very comfortable ... very relaxed ... such a wonderful ...comfortable ... feeling ...so loose ... so RELAXED ...you find that any time I say the words
"DEEPLY RELAX" to you ... immediately you will close your eyes and spontaneously go right back into this wonderful, deep, comfortable state of relaxation ... always enjoying it more and more ...
Always going deeper each time I work with you ... and every time I give you these positive suggestions, they will go deep into your subconscious mind ... they will be there when you need them ... every time I work with you it will reinforce all suggestions I have given to you before ... every day in every way you will be better and better, wiser and wise, happier and happier, healthier and healthier, feeling marvelous thoughout the day ...

Now I want you to pay attention to my voice and what I am going to teach you ... for I am ging to teach you to put yourself in this same state that you are in now, and this is how you will do it ...

         First ... make sure you are comfortable and safe ...
                                             Then ...set a time limit in you mind ...
                                                     Then ... close your eyes ...
 
Once your eyes are closed  ... take a deep breath and think 'RELAX', as you are letting your breath out ...

Then ... take another deep breath and think 'DEEPER' as you exhale ...

Then ... take another deep breath, and hold it for a moment ...Then as you let that breath out, think 'DEEPLY RELAX', .... already you can feel your body starting to relax ... DEEPER and DEEPER RELAXED ...

You will remain in this relaxed state for the amount of time you have set aside ... when that time has expired you will find yourself coming up and your eyes will automatically open ... you will feel refreshed, rejuvenated, wonderful and fine in every way, and all my suggestions tht I have ever given you ...That are beneficial to and positive to you will automatically be reinforced ... you will let this happen automatically and spontaneously ... going DEEPER and DEEPER RELAXED ... you will have good feelings and good thoughts at all times ...

AT THIS TIME POSITIVE VISUALIZATIONS
BRING YOUR SUBJECT(S) UP WITH THE FOLLOWING WORDING

On the count of one I will have you open your eyes ... on your own time ... you will be alert ... both mentally and physically ... you'll be rejuvenated ... you'll be happy, content and satisfied ... feeling marvelous in every way ... so, five ... gradually, slowly start coming up ... four ... coming up more and more ... three, coming up alert and refreshed ... two ... almost all the way up ... one ... on your own time, eyes open, all the way up, feeling wonderful and fine in every way!

Greetings Hypnotist,

Thank you very much indeed for this excellent post on hypnosis.

One question however, for those that cannot be hypnotised by someone else, I would suggest most, can this be modified for self hypnosis?

With best regards,

Adrian.

Hi people,
just a simple question for Frank if that is ok.

Frank said:
You don't actually need the Wave-1 CD either. You can formulate a mental rundown to some relaxing music, or create something using Brainwave Generator, or use whatever suits you. All I would advise is for you to create something of around 30 to 45 minutes duration which you are basically happy with then stick with it. In other words, don't make it too short, or too long, and no chopping and changing.

Would i be correct in thinking that a mental rundown is the relaxation process one uses to relax and still the mind and body while entering the trance state? and if so, any pointers on this would be greatfully received.
yours,
Dion.

[Frank]

The mental rundown is used as a kind of practice session, after which the person tries for real. It serves the purpose of getting a person into the habit of focussing their attention within themselves.

Problem is, when someone is a complete beginner, it is difficult for them to spark the process off. People try and "look within" and see nothing. In the event they just get disheartened thinking they can't do it. Which is why I suggest for people to first create an imaginary scenario. Then, after a while, situations will come about where you snap out of it thinking, "Hang on a minute, that wasn't on my script!"

Slowly but surely, a person will get used to these unexpected situations so they will be able to just passively observe them. At this point, a person crosses the bridge between just imagining and shifting their focus of attention for real.

Myself, I never think in terms of relaxing the physical body, or stilling the mind, or entering a kind of trance-state. I think all that is more to do with meditation rather than Astral projection. I think of it more in terms of mental focus.

When you focus your attention within yourself you automatically lose contact with your physical body. When you focus on a specific mental rundown, then you automatically drop all the day-to-day mental tittle-tattle that people can become preoccupied with. And as I've mentioned before a number of times, I cannot understand what people mean by "trance state".

I'm not knocking these concepts. The notion of entering a "trance state" or doing specific physical relaxation exercises, and so forth, may well work for some people. But with me, like I say, it all boils down to where you focus your attention.

Yours,
Frank

I'm not sure if THIS part has come up before, is there a website anywhere that talks about phasing a bit? Like Frank says, I've been searching my way through the forums and the info I've found is invaluable but it takes more time than I usually have to refer to.

I doubt whether you will find a website on phasing as such, most sites tend to focus on OBE which is an entirely different thing.

There is a document in the file library which summarises the TMI phasing process. You might also want to take a look at Bruce Moen's website which is a sort of phasing which he calls "afterlife exploration". It seems to be very effective for people to bring back their own evidence of the afterlife, but it is not full phasing as such and isn't intended to be. The principle is identical however, a sequence of imagery leading into the Astral itself. The site is:

With best regards,

Adrian.

[Osiris]

Greetings,

Here is a quote from one of the Adrian posts  

quote:The RTZ is actually an etheric projection rather than a full Astral projection, and is accordingly really a transient state between physical and Astral. Phasing is a projection of consciousness directly to the Astral via a series on intermediate states of consciousness, none of which appear to involve the etheric state.

Intermediate states/focuses as I see it, is a usage of your imaginery in a structured way to shift your consciousness from the physical body to astral. That`s why the method is called phasing.

Yours,

Osiris.

Hello Adrian,
Hello Frank (if your back),

I know Adrian that you have followed closely this post and Frank's invaluable comments. I'm having a problem with the raising of eyes, and I would apreciate having your opinion on this.

I'm practicing this approach and two days ago saw the blackness and felt a spinning sensation, and felt very close but my excitement got the better of me and I came back to C.1.

What is bothering me is the raising of eyes upward and at the same time looking through the "third eye". Letting your consciousness rise, looking through the third eye but getting out through the crow chakra...Could you help me sort out all of this, or Frank if you're back ?

Frank wrote:   ..."But now I've realized that there is this Crown Chakra that sets the process off.""" (posted 7th april 2002)

Do you look at the brow or Crown ? The raising of consciousness also gives me difficulties in understanding what is meant. Does it come by itself, or does the raising of the eyes provoques it

Couldn't find answers reading the posts. Hope you can help me sort all of this out, or put the process in a sequence.

[Leviiathan]

Dear experts:

0) A prologue note: Tactile Imaging is too aggressive, but drifting is too ineffective. Bad chemistry. Too much chemistry destroys the reaction, while too little prevents any reaction from happening. I'm still reaching a comfortable medium in between the two.

----
ORIGINALLY WHERE I STARTED
----

1) My appologies. I have not reviewed all the pages. But I a question . . .

2) . . . When I attempted some phasing practice last night, all my attention was drawn into the region of my brow chakra. Learning is a "sad" (figuratively) and slow process.

3) By drifting away, I speak of just letting the body relax. Staring ahead with your eyes closed is one thing, but staring out as if you were looking into the darkness with your brow is another. I'll list some things. You can interpret and give me insight.

   a) Lay down, get mind set, hold blank state. Body begins to relax. My attention is spread out over my body.
   b) Stare ahead, through Brow Chakra.

OBSTACLES: trying to keep my focus centered there. There's a challenging transition between "spread-out" awareness and having it centered in one place. I'm getting better, as you may notice, but my mind wants to pay attention to the rest of my body (i.e. spread itself out)

   c) Focus becomes exceedingly centered at Brow Chakra
   d) The black space seems to gain a sense of depth. Nothing's changed. I still haven't left the bed. I'm not outside of my body. I don't percieve myself--or in retrospect--to be close to "projecting"

NOTE: I'm confused with something. I find it hard to believe that I'm using astral sight, but at this point, I gain the sensation of spherical vision. If it is astral related, it is not sight. It's like sight, but I think it is more related to sensation, feeling, empathy -- sensing space. The confusion I'm experiencing causes me to misinterpret this sensation as sight-related, even though I am seeing nothing.

One could do this naturally when awake and not in a trance-like state. The difference, however, is clarity. It feels more natural in the above circumstances, more real, more clarified. It is like having it . . . versus trying to imagine, feel, or artifice the experience (i.e. like artificing pictures in your mind . . . versus actually seeing them when in a trance, or in a dream). When artificing sensations, there is a great feeling of limitation, but in trance, it feels like there is no limitation. My head is there, but it is like it isn't. Again, at this point, I am still in my body. I am still aware of my head. I am still in the 1st person mind-set. Symptoms have simply begun to present themselves.

   e)WOOSH! All my attention is pulled right to my brow. I can literally say that I have, awaringly, unwillingly lost my spread out focus. Interesting things happen (Note: below). I've lost awareness of a lot of my body. It's hard to feel most of myself. I can no longer SENSE the shape of my body (I can some of it -- random parts and junk) nor can I sense any area to the sides of my head. The interesting thing is that I know that I cannot sense it, while being aware that I have lost that focus.

NOTE: I know this. But since my focus is usually spread-out and not compressed, achieving this state is somewhat of a "discpline" challenge.

   f) I see something. It's like light, but not very bright. Faded, really. It's hard to even make it out. It moves like ripples in a pond. These "waves" oscillate inward from the side and are replaced by other ripples. I notice three or four. They move from bottom upward. They move from side inward. They curve in and disappear. They follow weird patterns. Silky waves.

   g) I remember something I read and figure this is my que, a doorway, to get deeper. I remember people mentioning that they get pulled in to a tunnel. I don't know how to focus in, draw my focus in, or get deeper. It seems hard and impossible

   h) I lose focus because I know my attention is spreading. In retrospect, I surmise that this came from a sudden spur of interest to get somewhere. Maybe a little excitement. The last I remember is being flustered by hypnogogic imagery and starting to black out into sleep. I eventually get up, but it's 45 min. after I started.

   i) Upon opening my eyes and getting up, I feel like a different person. My eyes are heavy. My body is tired. It feels like I'm just getting up. Interesting, because moments ago I felt deeply relax, but not half-asleep.


Insight on all aspects would be great. Also, how am I doing, and how do I get moving? =(

Thanks

[Aries]

Leviiathan I am having a similar problem, I believe I can get into the 3d darkness but im kind of stuck there... can anyone give me a pointer to help me find my doorway and enter it?? im not sure how i would actually enter it...

[Nagual]

I think it's as "simple" as holding the thought of where you wanna go in your mind, and only that thought...  Of course, it's not that simple...
You could also try to spin, to see your hands, to create an object...  Experiment! [|)]
Try to focus on things that you know by heart; that you saw many times, like your house/school/office/...
Try to say "I want to see"...  If nothing happens, try to yell it...
Ask for help.
It all comes down to intent.  You have to intend it with all your will power...

Good luck!

[Pete]

So what happend with the idea of setting up a locale?

I was away from these forums for awhile and am getting caught up now. I've been busy phasing and renovating a house. I'm amazed at how much time has passed.

Anyway, was a locale established and did people meet there?

Pete

[Nick]

There is an entire Astral locale forum set up with sub forums as well:

WOW you mean its good to have a song stuck in my head? thats GREAT news lol, i too NEVER have a moment without a song playing in my head. a song will always play in the backround of my thinking, whether im meditating, taking a test, or anything else. sorry for posting so late but i was just so enthuzed!

Greetings everyone,

I am locking this topic in place as a core topic in our quest for fine tuning Astral phasing - which is assuming more importance by the day.

A proper level of consciousness or trance - mind awake/body asleep is a very important pre-cursor to Astral phasing. The "phasing sequence" and "Astral shift" through a portal, symbol, gateway etc. being another.

This is a pre-requisite state that many find difficult to achieve, and so it would be great if you people could go on record with your favourite most effective methods.

Thank you.

With best regards,

Adrian.
