Visualization and deep breathing meditation work for me.
Hello this is my first post. I'm glad I found this forum, and I'd like to share what happened an hour ago.
Jul-1-2017 (After falling asleep) I'm in front of what seems like my old alternative school at nighttime. I see someone..or something riding around the parking lot on a motorcycle. It looks like a little kid, or short person. I'm hiding while peeking under some cars...and it hops off in the grass to the right. For some odd reason I had "powers" (normally I dont). I threw my hand down pushing black spikes out of the ground. After that it continued walking towards me. I thrust my hands forward and what looked like pitch black smoke went out towards the entity. After somehow I ended up in dark a classroom. There was but one desk in this entire room. On top was sitting an attractive white woman with her long legs crossed (this room had creepy...(continued)
Hello My name is Gaio and I'm 35 years old.
 Never been easy to speak about me or my experiences. Well very few people now about my experiences.
 Never been happier than I was when I was a child. My family, like all the families, had problems, alcoholic and violent father (he could be very loving as well, we think he was/is bipolar). Many nights went to bed with only lemon tea in my stomach, old clothes. But never been happier. And all that happiness is gone.
I have been reading about lucid dreams and astral projection. And I realise I was having semi lucid dreams when I was a child. Let me explain, when I was a child I had a couple of dreams I like it, don't now why because they were strange, so before I sleep I would say to myself I want to dream with that dream and I would dream it...
 And flying, oh flying, I love it, I discover by accident the...(continued)
Hello my name is Gaio. I need help to understand what happen to me! In 2012 I start meditating, at the beginning it wasn't easy but in no time I was able to clear my mind. I was meditating for around a month and a half when something strange and scary happen. So I seat down in my normal place to meditate and started. I close my eyes clear my mind. That's when I start feeling something different, I wasn't in my room anymore. See if I can explain, I was floating in a dark place nothing around me, just darkness and something like a triangular portal, I wanted to walk trough it, I tried to. As soon as put my head trough it I saw 3 creatures coming to me and felt really bad energies. At this moment i quickly open my eyes. My body was shaking I feel really bad afterwards. After this I can't meditate. It's now been almost 4 years. I try and try but...(continued)
Relax and Breath.  Nothing is wrong with you.  You have advanced talents that puts you ahead of the class.
My experience is similar.  What you are suffering from is lack of confidence only.  All the energy around you is in upheaval - changing.  Relax, Breath in Hold count of 6 out Hold count of 6 and do this 6 times.  Smile and tap into the universe, your higher selves and feel the love.  Everything you are experiencing is temporary - Love yourself and SMILE - no one knows better than you do what YOUR SMILE does to change you and others!  CIAO!
A couple good people to check out imo would be Infinite Waters and Ryan Cropper on youtube, Ryan has a few videos on both lucid dreaming and astral projection and tons more, infinite waters talks a lot about some very important topics for building yourself up 
 a good way to get a lucid dream occur is you have to constantly question if you are in reality while awake, try and push your finger through your hand, read a sentence in a book, look away and re-read the sentence, if the sentence has changed you know you are dreaming, things like that. If you try these "reality checks" without actually questioning if you are awake or asleep/if life is real or fake, how could you possibly question if you are awake/asleep whilst in a dream? Have fun with your research and traveling into the mind! Good luck!
Hello I'm new to this forum. Me and a couple of my friends were thinking of forming a group to Astral project with, meet up, and travel around the astral plane. Hopefully we can form a decent group to go on many journeys..Anyone is welcome to join, and experienced projectors would be nice too. Let me know. ~Jat
Your own fears are the only danger, there is nothing that should stop you from wanting to project! If you see a demon or evil entity, simply tell it you love it, send happy, bright vibes or imagine it doing something funny and you will be left alone.
Hey dude, don't worry. The thing which you have explained is completely normal. Enjoy your vibrations.
Yes you can, but needs a hell lot of practice bro. By the time you achieve that, you might think lottery doesn't matter, you might get into full time spirituality. Ha ha.
In short, yes!
