Don't get caught up on the means to the end. Don't get too excited with becoming conscious. If you wake up, oh well, you still became lucid. It takes practice..enjoy it while it lasts and it will get better w time

Don't underestimate your imagination. Either imagine yourself already out, or just get up as if you were awake. My first couple times projecting, I thought I was fully awake and screwed up..really I was out of body

Naps

they are so similar. Astral is consciousness at the beginning, lucid is during a set scene

Setting a solid goal I can keep focusing on should help tons. I noticed if I would smoke bud it may be easier to enter that state of complete calmness but to actually "push" myself into sleep paralysis and beyond was near impossible XD Thanks Praveen! Your responses are always useful

Sup jat.. I'm down

if u tell me what he is for you maybe bf, i know what happened. and tell me the ''long story'' because i think I can help.

Sorry PeacePoiProsper, Allison Onisal, Sway. I just got carried away by Summerlanders useless arguments.

@Sway: Keep an intention before you try Astral projection, it will usually help you more. Try using some of the exit techniques provided earlier in the forum, it will help.

Here goes the Astral projection exit methods.

Let me know if you need any help.

But dude is real

Hello everyone, I have been having some troubles recently when trying to astral project (im quite new to meditation and projecting) where I start getting numb and tingly, finger tips get cold and the goose bump vibrations come in waves a little but then what happens, I can only describe it as if spirit swells a little bit around my physical body but then it settles right back into physical. I have tried focusing on the vibrations and it makes them last a little while (few seconds) and I have also tried ignoring them and when I do this they usually only come in a single wave and dissapear but I don't get the feeling of spirit "un-swelling" back into physical. Another problem I keep getting is once I feel myself drifting into the vibrational stage, my foot will twitch and it breaks the trance. Any tips on how to...(continued)
