Sorry it took me long to reply, for some reason I was unable to post the answer from my cellphone, maybe it's a bug or something. I suppose you're talking about this :

The “Open Mouth” Exit Initiator

The first method is the ‘open mouth exit’ and it was discovered by a forum poster named tsunaH. In sleep paralysis 99% of the time even if everything below your neck is paralyzed you can still move your eyes and mouth. To do this method simply open your mouth and take a few slow deep breaths. Be sure not to breathe too hard or you’ll break the paralysis. By doing this you’ll feel yourself start to separate starting at your head. This method is a very reliable way to get the exit process kick started. It’s actually more of an ‘exit initiator’ than a full exit method because a lot of times it will get you half way...(continued)

Ohh someone the same age as me ()

I agree with Praveen,usually people report that places change, it could be either a slight to drastic change. It varies from one person to another. I also heard places you like will be more colorful and kind of prettified, and places you don't like will be uglier. Someone mentioned here in this forum, if I'm not mistaken.

The way you described could be projection, to make sure, if next time you think about your friend and still doesn't work, "go on foot" to see him, it could be good idea to try during the day so he's awake doing something and later you can tell him what you saw and confirm if you got out.

I'm really envious of you, I still haven't been able to project. I won't give up but it's a little frustrating sometimes. Keep up the good work

A slap? I have never experienced nothing like that, so I'm not sure if I can answer that but, what did happened to me when I was close to projecting, was that falling sensation you have sometimes when falling asleep.

I also felt like floating and instinctively knew I was close, but out of nowhere that sensation came, it scared the living hell out of me, just like you I was listening to binaural beats.

Well, in the Hypnagogic state ( the one we are while trying to project ) usually weird things will happen, hallucinations and other visual, auditory, and physical stimuli. The reason as to why sometimes these things happen when close to projecting it's a little unclear. But I guess since the body doesn't us to get separated at the slightest sign of "danger" it will snap you back.

My theory is that,...(continued)

As you know, most of the time the things you hear/see while paralyzed are hallucinations resulting from anxiousness and fear.

I believe the reason you're trying to achieve a tranquil paralysis is either to project or lucid dream. Anyhow, the first thing to do is to sort out your fears. As to what I've understood from what you've told, you probably have something going on. It might not be fear, it might be insecurity, distress,sadness, any kind of negative feeling will work against you.

There's a small chance that it's not hallucinations but some evil being, either of these situations only leads us to one solution.

You have to change your mindset.

What I mean is, a low vibrational state will likely trigger scary hallucinations or attract nasty entities. So you have to stay positive and try to go for joy,love and gratitude...(continued)

To Praveen: I used to keep a journal and write an "A" for awake as a reality check. I would also woke up several times at night to have multiple dreams and trigger lucid dreaming.

I only got close as so much as recognizing that I was in a dream a few times but couldn't get a hold of the dream, this went for a while so I had given up lucid dreaming. Maybe I'll try all over again and see.

To Byron : I admit guilty about wanting it bad, but usually I'm pretty relaxed.

To YngJo: I'm mesmerized by your mindset, I have never thought that way.How come you know so munch but still haven't projected? I bet in no time you will. This is a very interesting routine you've wrote here. Maybe I should try lucid dreaming and this.

Thanks for the helpful answers everyone! I'm better now.

Thanks that would be awesome ^_^

Alright then, I'll try Jon's methods and will come back to tell you guys how it was.

Thanks for the answers and tips everyone!☺

Its all in your thought. As long as you can think of it consciously or subconsciously your " creation" will be there. Probably:3

I hope that the afterlife will be good 2 ;-;And what you said about other planets made me think of traveling to them while astral :They say some civilisations exist in other planets but in other dimensions . Think about extra dimensional/extraterrestrial aliens "

Anyways it has been also talking with all of you <3

oh and almost forgot. Before trying to project. Think of going around your house and feeling things. Try to feel anything. The air , the floor, the walls everything This will totally do

Can pranic healing be achieved by astral projection ? If so how do i go about it ?
