Astral Projection has interested me since my research on lucid dreaming(which I have never figured out.). What I need help with, is figuring out how and when i'll know i'm projecting. This was my experience. I laid down, I didn't use binaural beats, and I laid on my back, arms down to my side, and cleared my thoughts. Then, I began to use a technique I found on youtube, I began the sound "na" over and over again so it was like I was saying "nanananananana" but slowed down. After a while I stopped doing this. Then I realized I was entering sleep paralysis. I know this because I learned how to get into this stage when researching lucid dreaming and have experienced it many times. Then, after several minutes, I tried to imagine myself pulling my soul out of my body by grabbing an imaginary rope. Suddenly, my head began to shake intensely and I was freaked out at first, but I knew it was what was supposed to happen. After I got used to this shaking, my torso felt tilted upright, not yet sitting up, but barely floating off of my bed. I kept on pulling, but I didn't know what to do next. Is the astral world like the physical world? Is it a first person point of view? Because I didn't see anything. During the shaking, I saw a lot of images of videos I had watched to prepare for this, but I didn't see any astral planes or anything else people reported. What did I do wrong? Am I experiencing half of an OBE? Please help, I know this is kind of a controversial topic, and i'm still not 100% on this.
Hi Jake :)
Welcome to the forum :)
When I read your experience, I felt that your mind is still not yet calm. Still thinking of some of those which you referred internet.
I think you need to clear your thoughts and stay even more calm. If you try to calm yourself even more, then shaking of head will not happen.
All the techniques which you are using is good, just try to calm yourself even more. this will help you :)
Hope this helps :)
Hi Jake,
The astral plane doesn't necessarily look any different than your very own room. It could look very different or you could find yourself at a place of your choosing...but if you get that feeling again do as Praveen recommended and just stay as calm as you can and just go with it. I've had experiences where nothing looked the least bit different than my very own room...but normally I'd just sort of whoosh through to someplace else immediately...and now I realize that about half of that time I'd be in a lucid dream and could astrally project from there. My only experiences where I'd find myself in my room were occasions where I didn't mean to astral project at all, but the more I read about it the more I can see that it's more the norm and my experiences weren't. Just go with it and see what happens! Talk about an adventure! Good luck!
Hi Jake,
What I have read about was there is two kinds of plane or world, called Local 1 and local 2 (named by Robert Monroe in Ultimate Journey and Journey out of body. What he said is that the local 1 looks almost perfectly alike the physical world and local 2 may be the world that many projectors are talking about (The astral world). Hope this info help you! :D
