Before I get on the story, there is some information about me that might solve this. When I was 17 years old, I have been trough some tough times with lucid dreams and after them an astral projection. When I talked with people who read books about lucid dreams and astral projection, they all say "Damn man I have tried a hundred times to meditate and come to astral projection phase and I never came there". First of all that experience did not amuse me and it was not so exciting. I came to dimensions of a large city with tall building. There were no people, and I didn't see any movement. Texture of everything around me including me, was like shiny purple lip gloss with sparkles and those sparkles moved. It didn't last long to make me think that I should look at my arm, and it was same texture as...(continued)

Excitement has ruined my whole process again & again it's happening.. I can feel the excitement at the centre of my stomach What to do?

Part 1 - The Transition: A forum post in an anxiety forum where no one really talks to me. I'm seen as too eccentric. Thinking of moving on ... from not only that pace but also this world. Cut as paste:

I can't quite put my finger on it. I'm only writing because it's usually the prescription given to those who've just come back from the astral realm . Whilst most people worry about coming back to this one, I can tell you it's not my preferred option! At least not at this stage of whatever scenario I'm able to accept or even comprehend. In fact I doubt I can adequately capture the dream I just had, other than to acknowledge it for the 'trip' I just took. This was not a lucid dream as such. Just...(continued)

Hi! Ive been practice astral projection for a while now (1 year) and I can't even get to the vibration state... I am good at staying awake laying with out moving a muscle, after a lot of practice I would like to say I'm really good to not to think of other stuff while trying to astral project. I'm not nerves or anything. I can't get my body to sleep either.. last night I was listening to guided astral projection for 2 hours!! With out moving a muscle my body just feels heavy that's all.. but it's not paralyzed... I'm trying in the morning and night to. I never fall asleep. When I'm trying the rope technique I can't imagen the rope properly.. it's just empty in my head. When I'm imagen my own hands on the rope I don't get the feeling or anything. I just really wanna get the feeling of success. Even if it's my little finger...(continued)

Since I was young, I have seen things, and I have heard things all around me. I constantly see very strange pockets of color, spots of color, strange lines sometimes just appear. When I was little, I would go to sleep at night and would wake up frozen, I could not breathe or move aka Sleep paralysis. Many times the room would manifest into somewhere else change color setting it was amazing. My actual astral expierice though was when I was 17 I was in a hospital, as I laid down as went to sleep I remember lifting my arm and seeing it was super wavy and misty. I stood up. I walked around I talked with the nurses I even slept by one of their stations (SO I THOUGHT!! I was told I never spoke with them that they saw me asleep on my bed)remember floating around and going thru walls seeing people. I could see...(continued)

last night I was Soooooo close to Astral Projection... I was relaxed, calm and everything. My body was verrrry heavy And as soon as I imagined rocking back and forth (slowly) my chest looses all pressure... I was doing the roll technique btw. My heart wasn't beating heavily also. so it goes to show i wasnt overexciting it. Help please?

Hmm, that's interesting... it could be just a hint of what you could do... nobody is given spiritual growth, it has to be earned

I am glad it helped

Best regards

Hello everyone,

I'm searching someone who practices projection regularly. I have few questions and be glad to talk with a person who masters the technique. Sorry for my poor english, I can't find something on french forums.

Thank you

I relax, bring awareness to behind eyes, feel vibrations, floating sates where my body is a distant memory, hypnogia, mini dreams flash in and out of mind, I am deeply relaxed, then I start a technique (eg rope) and I become more aware of my body and bed, the vibrations stop, i am less relaxed, analitical thoughts pop up, it becomes vry labourious. I up to 2 hours climbing a rope but feel like I get further from projecting, much further than before I started the technique. Any help?
