Beginning stages to astral projection?

Welcome Mello, I've read your other question : What do you think sleep paralysis really is?

So I've thought of answering both topics here.

I understand your feelings, all of my houses were haunted, including this one I'm living in now, as I matter of fact, this one is the most haunted so far.

I've also had unpleasant experiences with sleep paralysis, but nothing that I couldn't handle, though is easy for me to say this since I had previous knowledge of what it was.

Suppose it would be a whole nother deal hadn't I known about the astral world.

The things you're experiencing are normal, you're not being possesed or anything. Despite possession being a real thing, it is not nearly what people imagine it to be, so worry not.

Now about sleep paralysis, answering your other question , it is both a physical and spiritual phenomenon.

Looking at the scientific side, it's a mechanism to prevent our body to act out or dreams. Assuming you have the regular sleep cycle of 8 hours, 3-5 am it's a period of time that sp it's likely to happen, because usually at this moment the body is entering in the REM sleep, when we have dreams and afterwards are nearly waking up.

So Sp can either happen while falling asleep or waking up.

Now for the spiritual side, it is the most fortunate time to try to project or lucid dream, for you're in a state that's in the middle of awareness and asleep,a and your body will be totally paralyzed.

Is it okay for me to think that you want to learn more about the subject and have interest in becoming a projectee? Because if that's the case, I'd have to address the fear problem in another topic, as here it would leave my response too extense.

Tell me if you'd like to know better about that and I'll do whatever it's in my power to elucidate things for you. Peace ☮️

Thanks so much for your reply! I'm relieved to hear your insight on what's been happening, and it makes sense, the sleep paralysis thing.

But, do you think if I projected during this sp state, that I would see any spirits nearby or around me? Like the one(s) haunting me? Like, do you see the spirits haunting your house when you project?

To be honest I have considered it, and it's something that interests me, but I'm so uneasy and frightened to see something terrifying that I wouldn't know what to do.

On the other hand... I do have very vivid nightmares of zombies or 'monsters' (the best way to describe something so grotesque) more often than id like to admit, that I've just become accustomed to having these kinds of dreams. Would you think that maybe this would make seeing something frightening while projecting easier? Or is being astral its own league of fear? How would I even go about protecting myself in a situation like that? I mean, praying, maybe, but I feel like I'd be so shocked and doubtful of myself that it wouldn't work, yknow?

I'm sorry! I just have so many questions

Not at all! I love answering questions and sharing experiences,I'm glad to help.

One thing I'd like to address, I've seen in other post that you're christian, so all this must be a tad confusing to you.

You're stepping into a world with the definite conviction of the unknown,an eerie dreamlike reality.Beyond imagination.

I don't mean to confound you even more.But I do want you to acknowledge this journey will put your beliefs to the test.Are you ready to begin to question? You might find that a lot of the things you learned are remarkably untrue.

Though I presume the best way to know what's real, it is to see for yourself.

I'll try to help you with that. Let's get to it.

Number one thing: being afraid is something we can't afford to.

Because

1. If you fear, you likely won't be able to get out of your body.
2. If you manage to get out, you'll be prone to be attacked by nasty spirits and entities.

Before trying to project, you should throw away your fears. Dread denotes negative energy,such low vibrational state leaves you vunerable to being attacked as well as seeing spirits among other things. I won't sugarcoat anything, if you happen to be attacked, it will be pretty scary. And afterwards, depending on how much they fed off of you, both physical and mental health will be affected.

For instance, you might feel tired, sickish,unmotivated and even a little depressed. Nothing too serious,however.
Luckily, these assaults aren't frequent, neither are they hopeless. Once you sort out your fears, there will be nothing holding you back.

You have nothing to worry about, dear, if you're still uncertain on how to figure this out, and need some orientations on how to get rid of fear, I'll be here.

Please could you help.me get rid of my fear too I'm trying to astral project but had bad shadow people as a child. I tried astral projecting tge ither day and found myself being stuck in a real negative sleep paralysis stage. I'm Sooo scared ro sleep now because I fear it will come back.or is it all in my mind and just something I need ro overcome . I said i love God to try and get rid of it but every time I said it it held me tighter and tighter. I only woke up when I tried to picture myself somewhere else but had marks on me where I must've been squeezing my hand but while in paralysis this was the dark entity squeezing.
