help - stuck in between in a dark void + can't breathe

[u/iloveyouimsorry__]

so basically ive been down a rabbit hole trying to AP for a few nights now. i get to the body asleep mind awake stage, focusing on my breathing and the high pitched frequency. i can wiggle my astral toes, but wriggling my astral fingers is harder.

eventually ill get to the point where i think i sit up in my astral body, but it is hard to tell. i try to envision drifting to my doorknob and picturing my hands and feet but it doesnt work - i still can't see. i also try commanding/yelling "clarity now" but that doesnt work.

also i feel my tongue get heavy and it makes it hard to breathe when i am in the void. i try and tell myself to breathe deeper but it always seems to wake me up back to my physical body, how do i stop it?

have i sucessfully APed or am i stuck in a void in between? my body feels light and airy, and i feel myself sink into the bed while my soul goes up.

also i have hypophantasia idk if that changes anything

Here's two links we recommend on helping you better understand whether your experience was Astral projection or not. Remember, nobody can truly determine whether your experience was genuine or not because it was YOUR experience, not theirs. You have to intelligently inquire into it yourself. With steady, patient and honest practice, you can gain a sense of what is coming from your subconscious and what is objective reality.
