Hi,
I have not ever astral projected but I have had a few somewhat out of body experiences which may have been similar. I am interested in learning how to astral project but I have a concern that I want to express before I begin.
First, I want to ask a question about my previous experience. I have had an experience before, about seven years ago, where I was traveling with my boyfriend and his family. His brother has developed great expansion and my vibrations were affected by his presence, naturally. We were in the middle of an eye to eye meditation when suddenly I began to breathe in deeply, the longest breathe of my life. My body became straight and the deeper my breathe became the more my head was pulled up until I began to lift off the floor. I just barely lifted when he moved his arms and my breathe ended abruptly and I became grounded again.
Is this similar to astral projection? Or is this a different experience? I do feel vibrations in my body (like tingling) in the early morning. Is this something I should tap into to begin astral projection?
And also, a question of concern, some of the comments I have seen speaks about sex during astral projection. I come from the vipassana meditation tradition which is more conservative. And I also feel that sexual vibrations can be much lower energy depending on the intention. For this reason, and based on the intentions I have seen from the comments on the forum about sex during projection, I am concerned about what I may be stepping into.
My priority is to meet spirit guides, understand my pre-birth intentions, and to move towards higher vibrations. I want to be sure that I will have control about not entering into experiences that I have no desire to be part of. If I begin astral projection, I want to know that I will not be meeting others projecting who have the ability to harm me. I also do not want to step into a "room" or "situation" where I am exposed to an energy/experience that I have not consented to or wish to even observe. Since I have never projected before, I would much appreciate some inside information regarding my concern that can help me understand what I would be facing.
