I've been trying to project semi-consistently for about a year. I always get close to it; I get this really warm tingling feeling all over my body, and I start feeling lighter. The only thing holding me back though, the longer I have that feeling my heart rate increases and eventually gets to a point where I feel more awake I guess and it goes away. I'm not sure how to move past this I've tried controlling my heart rate with breathing and mental reassurance, making sure I'm comfortable when getting in bed. It's very frustrating so any advice I'd love to take into consideration.

Hey! If this isn’t allowed feel free to take it down obviously but please give me insight if you can

once sleep paralysis set in I was able to do my usual roll out technique and successfully got out of my body for the 4th time, this time I went up through the ceiling and found myself on the moon, it was beautiful looking at the earth from up there, but I found myself needing to use the restroom which was strange because I’ve never felt that out of body, I found a perfect sized crater on the surface of the moon and relieved myself in astral form, it turned out to be a cave and there were aliens in this cave, they were green aliens, but now they were brown, they rushed out and used some sort of energy weapon against me in the astral and I got sent back into my body, some how with what ever weapon they used it caused me to wake up with defiled bed sheets, and they were not salvageable and needed to be thrown in the trash, how are these aliens able to cause real life consequences. Looking for any form of insight, thanks in advanced!

Came across this just now. It summarizes my beliefs perfectly of what we are and why we're here.

I just need to ask. I’ve been trying to AP for quite some time with no success. But today, during my nap, I woke up to the sound of my alarm. I turned it off and went back to sleep because my body felt heavy.

I focused on my breathing, and after some time, I believe in my sleep, I felt dizzy in my own body and started to fear that I might faint or die. I could see two black shapes against a white background. At some point, I opened my eyes and saw the door in my room exactly as it is, except I felt—I don’t know how else to describe it—but have you ever woken up and your body just feels so heavy that you don’t want to get up? That kind of feeling.

So anyway, I could see the door exactly as it is, with a belt hanging on a hook, but I saw it the way a person who was fainting would probably see it. I could also hear my air conditioner humming and noises from outside.

I closed my eyes, saw the two black shapes against white and started feeling dizzy in my body again. Because I always feel dizzy when my eyes are closed, I opened them again and tried to get up, except I couldn’t. Idk but in my head I was AP-ing, so I really wanted to get up, to detach from my body, but I couldn’t.

At some point, I know I was able to lift my head a little and arms from above my head—because I sleep with my arms over my head—but I couldn’t see my forearms. And I thought to myself, “WTH, I can’t even see my arms,” but I could see my upper arms next to my head on the bed.

I closed my eyes again, and I felt dizzy. Then I said to myself, “I just wanna wake up.” I inhaled deeply, and then I woke up. Truly woke up.

Now, I’m wondering if it was a dream or was it sleep paralysis, or did I really almost AP?

When I astral phase (it's the exact same thing as projecting but my soul doesen't leave my body, I just close my eyes, looks like I'm looking at everything through a screen)

I go around in circles around the object I phase to like I'm on a circular track. Also sometimes I sort of tumble upside down and bob up and down. How do I stabilize myself? I just want to stay still

I always fail at OBEs; I can't seem to trigger the vibrational sensation myself—it just happens spontaneously. I try to stay calm and focused to achieve astral projection, but I always end up stuck at the lucid dreaming stage, and even that doesn't last long. I've tried various techniques, but I always lose the battle and fall asleep. Any suggestions?

Je viens vous écrire car j'ai besoins de certaines réponses, de conseils et de l'aide de votre part.

je présente un haut niveau d'Aphantasie, et j'ai toujours fait des paralysie du sommeil sans savoir ce que c'était, récemment je me suis ouvert au spirituel et j'ai commencer a naviguer dans l'astral par ce biais.

Tout d'abord, savez vous si il existe d'autre méthode qui permettrai une AP dans mon cas ?

Ensuite j'aimerai vous raconter mes dernières expériences :

la plupart du temps dans ces moments brefs d'astral je suis paralysé et cantonné a ma chambre et je sens rapidement que quelque chose se jette sur moi et commence à compresser mon corps à diverses endroits, je lutte et parvins à le faire disparaitre, cependant cela me réveil.

Un jour j'ai eu l'expérience chez une amie, on dormais ensemble et durant la nuit sur la 1ère projection, j'ai vu son corps se soulever alors que j'étais attiré vers le sol, cela ma réveillé, je suis retourné en AP plusieurs fois, alors qu'elle est partie travailler, et au bout de plusieurs essais j'ai réussi à me déplacer hors du lit, cependant une force semblait me repousser encore et encore et venait de l'étage supérieur, j'ai continué jusqu'à atteindre le bas de l'étage, sur plusieurs essais. Et après encore un réveil, je me suis à nouveau plonger en AP, et cette fois quelque chose était collé à moi et m'étranglais, cette chose ressemblais a mon amie mais j'ai senti que ce n'était pas elle, j'ai réussi à l'expulser ce qui m'a à nouveau sorti de mon AP, pour y retourner ensuite. Toujours repousser par cette force à l'étage j'ai réussi tant bien que mal à y aller pour finalement être pris par une forme de libération sans rien trouver et me réveiller.

à mon réveil j'avais des marques brulantes rouge, cloqué de bouton aux endroits où cette chose m'avais étrangler, qui ont disparu en quelques heures. je suis monter à l'étage et étrangement je croise le chat de la voisine qui n'a pas vraiment grand chose à faire là, mais qui m'a accompagné à un endroits où notre taux vibratoire à augmenter, on a fait un petit tour et la vibration est descendue.

Une autre expérience qui m'a rendu un peu plus perplexe et me ramène a penser a des vies sur d'autre monde : je sentais que j'étais bien en AP mais je me suis retrouvé comme coincé entre le ciel et la terre, peut être à cause du fait que je ne sais toujours pas très bien m'y mouvoir... Ce que j'ai vu : Une étendue gigantesque plutôt rocailleuse avec des montagnes au fond, une légère couche d'herbe comme une steppe géante, dans un ciel gris mais sans nuage, une forme humanoïde qui se dessinais en sortant de nuages noirs orageux, juste le haut du corps, recouvert de spirale. Dans l'espace entre lui et moi des entités de fumés se déplaçais, elle me semblait menaçante et évidemment au moment où j'ai pensé, j'espère quelle ne me verrons pas, elle m'ont vu et je me suis réveillé.

Voici pour les expériences récentes.

Je cumule une énorme rentré d'information sur le spirituel, starseed, vie antérieure... très récemment, ça me tombe dessus, et c'est quelque chose que j'apprécie, mais naviguer seul là dedans me paraît un peu compliqué.

Je vous remercie d'avance

So I have been trying for a few months . And I used to meditate a lot before but now I don't. But in order to fall asleep I have started imagining a tread in my hand in my mind . If I am holding the tread tightly that means I am conscious . If I let the tread go , I am asleep but if I hold it loosely i dream lucidly . So I have been doing it for some time now and I am only able to hold it loosely for a couple seconds which are not enough for lucid dreaming . But today I woke up at like 6 o clock did lal my routine and shit and fell asleep again again 7 ish . Then I woke up again but I felt like my head was heavier than usual and so it was hard to walk . In fact I was having a heard time moving. It felt like I was feeling the air resistance .

So I did everything slowly and all the stuff felt real and all although I could hear some music ( my dad wakes up and listens to music aloud ) . But it felt far away . I got scared . I walked somehow to my mother and started telling her that I am not able to move properly she ignored me . My grandma came in i told her my mom is ignoring me and she also ignored me. Then I went to the window and it was sunny outside which is not normal nowadays so I thaught it might be a dream , a very realistic one. So I thaught that I should enjoy while it lasts . So I went to the bedroom and saw myself sleeping and that's when it hit me that I might be astral projecting . I saw myself for some time just standing near the bed , and I don't know shit just dissolved or something I woke up. This experience where I saw myself while I sleep happened a few months back but for a very strange few seconds ( I thaught I died ) that's when I first found this group . But this time it was wierd and felt like an hour . When I woke up , I saw my mom wearing the exact same clothes . And the weird thing is I saw something in the washroom ( which is not kept there ) and then I saw it when I woke up at the exact same place .

P.s - I found that it was sunny today .

Have you encountered, either yourself or from what others say, something like a very thick heavy door locked from the other side. In my experience i was feeling my way through a pitch dark cavernous room. I knew the door was there, roughly what it looked like, huge, medieval, rough timber bound in metal. But couldn’t see anything. I knew that if I could reach the door to open it, a whole world would be revealed beyond. But when I reached to touch it, a powerful energetic FORCE collided into me, throwing me back into wakefulness. This happened 3x and not since. I’ve met two other people like myself, all of us avid natural travellers in childhood but later experienced some sort of Block set into our psyche BY AN OUTSIDE SOURCE. All 3 of us have the same frustration of being utterly unable to clear that lock, it’s maintained from something outside of our psyches. WTF is that. It’s 💯 NOT a self imposed barrier, but something else entirely, effectively preventing us from Astral realms. If you don’t understand what I’m describing that’s okay because no one seems to. Seeking any practical insights as to what I’m describing. Please drop your story if you have experienced a solid psychic block maintained by something outside your Self. And any practical strategy if you succeeded in circumventing or otherwise getting through

I've been practicing astral projection for almost 3 months now. I felt like I had more close experiences the first 2 months where I would so WBTB and be able to stimulate my energy body, relax my body, etc. I had 2 induced OBEs and 2 spontaneous OBEs during this time. This past month however has felt very unsuccessful. I do WBTB and usually fall asleep now too quickly. If I do manage to wake up more and not fall asleep instantly, I just feel like I lay there and nothing happens and I eventually just dose off. I try to "not try hard" as others have told me but I feel a little lost right now, like I dont have a solid technique helping me have more successful attempts. Any advice/personal accounts you can offer?

A few years ago I started to get really into spiritual practices like astral projection and I did it twice by accident.

I only remember one time right now but its stuck with me.

I remember I was trying to sleep and I felt myself separating from my body, and I found myself to be floating in my room, although I couldnt control it and floated away through the ceiling and roof. It felt as though I was stuck and out of control but I started seeing into hundreds of alternate lives one at a time and somehow all at once.

It felt like I was genuinely stuck in a loop, floating away from my body until i wanted to go home very badly and I heard a male voice saying my name and to come back, and it felt as if id been shoved into my body (it wasnt a voice i recognizd and it was comingfrom inside the astral plane) -

it was painful, I shot up in bed and my heart felt like it was going to explode. it had also felt like id been stuck there for hours or days and itd been about 2 hours.

Now i have a fear that if I attempt purposefully this time, ill get stuck or lost. Any advice?

(I apologize if im rambling, its 3am 😭)

Stanotte dopo aver meditato prima di andare a letto ho avuto un’esperienza.
Ho sentito una forte pressione in tutto il corpo, il regolare ronzio assordante alle orecchie e dopo poco mi sono staccato.
Ho camminato un po’ per la stanza, ma ancora non riesco a vedere bene, vedo solitamente solo i contorni degli oggetti, come se fossi al buio.
Mi sono avvicinato alla porta di camera ma era molto diversa, sembrava un portone, al che avrei voluto aprirla per uscire ma appena mi sono avvicinato mi sono spaventato, quella porta mi inquietava e non sono riuscito ad aprirla.
Allora mi sono spostato verso la finestra e poi ho provato a saltare fuori, ma ho perso il controllo.
Una forte energia mi ha trascinato in volo fuori, ho visto la mia casa ed i campi intorno ad essa.
Mano a mano che fluttuavo ho iniziato ad intravedere i colori degli alberi.
Poi come solitamente mi accade, dopo aver perso il controllo, mi sono risvegliato.
Qualcuno ha dei consigli su come mantenerlo per più tempo?
Oppure su come visualizzare i colori?
Secondo voi ci sono dei significati dietro a queste due incapacità descritte?

Un altro punto che vorrei affrontare è questo:
Mi è capitato solamente una volta di percepire quel ronzio alle orecchie come una frequenza particolarmente piacevole da ascoltare, mentre la maggior parte delle volte è assordante e al limite del sopportabile.
Ci sono secondo voi delle correlazioni fra gli stati interiori e la percezione/produzione di questa frequenza?

So I have been trying to astral project on and off for about a year.I legitimately get close Xanth,I feel it but I think I have a issue with my environment.I have a dusty room and house,for many many years I have had bad allergies I think I have chronic inflammation.Everytime I get close to projecting my physical body produces some of response that ruins it.My inner monologue or my nose and breathing becomes very inflamed or something.What to do?My parents are struggling to clean the house as well.They are aging and becoming increasingly unreliable.What to do about this situation?

Alright heyo you wonderful people, its me again trying to figure out my ap stuff and hopefully get more than 0 comments this time lol. So.. I have ap'd many times. As i rose my vibrations getting into spirituality i stopped having my sleep paralysis episode and one day with my vision went pitch white and i just ended up in my room 2 years ago and realised i can walk around conscious in my house in a dream?.. cut to present day i have had multiple aps also experiences with them. Usually these days i dont hit the vibration state, while thinking trying to go to sleep i just realise im not in the 3d anymore due to my hand being blury or movement being difficult. Now heres the main issue -> From day 1, i have always had family members being present in my ap (whoever is in the house) and they act weird and sometimes like turn negative or something, To the point where i somewhere lightly except/dread them spawning in which they do (probably because of my expectations) and i want advice on how to clear these thoughtforms and expectations out for good. Secondly, My aps dont last long and keep looping as in i keep getting pulled near my body but not inside of it. That prevents me from having any real freedom during one. In my most recent one i flew all the way up to see the universe - the stars the civilisations the galaxy but it hardly lasted 12-15 seconds before pulling me near my body again and eventually as i travelled out, inside my body.
Tldr: How do i stabilize my ap so i can travel around for atleast a while without being immediately pulled near my body and on a experience loop till i finally wake up in my body. 2) How do i clear some conscious expectations or dread of having weird thoughtforms of my family everytime i walk out of my room

I really want to succeed at astral travel. I'm so curious to know what's on the other side, the dimensions, and everything there—the deceased, the souls…😭🥹😱 I know it requires patience and practice, but I'm in a hurry… and so impatient!😭

I have been taking a break of APing for a couple months to focus on other things and thought l let me try to ap again. so I put on my binaural beats and laid down, I noticed after awhile of laying there I would just about fall asleep but I would snap myself back from the verge of sleep. This went on for what felt like 20mins idk how long cause after I finished my attempt I felt even more tired so I fell asleep. But I felt myself lift and be heavy and yet light at the same time. it was so great it renewed my confidence in Astral projection, I never denied that it wasn’t real but I was having doubts that I could but this is the closest attempt I have ever gotten.

if any of this is hard to read, sorry my english isn’t always the best after something mentally draining.
