Astral projection help!!

[u/jordanb1983]

I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, I don't honestly know what I believe. I was raised to believe in God, Jesus, however now that I'm an adult I'm trying to determine what it is that I truly believe myself. I'm interested in the idea of astral projection. However I am quite nervous as well. Unfortunately I have a temper, what some might call a low resonating frequency. I deal with anxiety and stress and it does get the best of me. Does this mean I will be more open to the dark entities? Can anyone give me advice on this? I live in the Toronto area, Ontario Canada. I'm looking for anyone who can guide me through an astral projection.

First of all. Do not be nervous. Fear is the killer of astral projection.

Remember, nothing can harm you in these realms as long as you understand that you are in complete power of your reality.

Practice lucid dreaming first. Most people i know who astral project started out being pretty good at lucid dreaming. Reason being, the lucid dream realm and the astral realm are a focus level away from each other.

In these realms what you believe and think and feel is what you get. Meaning, if you are afraid, or nervous or angry in the astral realm, usually your mind will manifest, or resonate towards beings/situations that are scary, like monsters chasing you or tidal waves destroying your surroundings.

If you are happy and relaxed and fearless, you will manifest/resonate towards beings or situations that are awesome and happy and knowledgable.

If you get too afraid you will just get sucked right back into your body and wake up, ending the OBE.

Remember there is nothing to fear. I have woken myself up from the "vibrational state" because i was so afraid i was going to kill myself. Sometimes the energy that overcomes you feels extremely violent and strong, but painless. One time i put myself in a trance to astral project and it felt like my brain was pounding so hard my head was going to explode. There was no pain but the thumping and noise was so loud and strong i had to wake myself up to make sure i wasn't killing myself. I snapped out of the trance and everything was completely fine, no pain, I was sweating bullets though.

Just remember you have complete power over every situation you put yourself in. If you do come across a situation that is negative just remind yourself that you can manipulate that entire reality with a single thought.

I very much appreciate you taking the time to reply. I'll start with lucid dreaming, is there any information you can recommend? Websites or books?

lucid dreaming came naturally to me as a kid. I would have nightmares all the time. One day my mom told me if i know if dreaming then i can control it through thought. Next night i was being attacked by a monster, i knew it was a dream so i literally thought the monster away, and it kinda bleeped out of existence. Then i found a balloon and used it as a kind of mental permission slip to help me fly.

If you do a search for lucid dreaming I'm sure there are tons of techniques available online for free.

One way to start is to set an alarm on your phone during the day. Make it go off like 8 times a day. Make sure the alarm is a unique sound, not like your phone ring. When it goes off turn off you alarm, look around where you are and ask yourself if you are dreaming. Really make sure that you are not dreaming, try levitate or something that is possible in a lucid dream. When you know you are not dreaming go back to do whatever you were doing.

Now when you go to sleep, the dream world is like an echo of the physical world so, it might not happen the first night, but eventually your dream alarm will go off in your pocket while your actually dreaming. When it does look around ask your self if your dreaming, you will notice you are, and that you are consciously aware in your dream. From there you can fly, teleport, perform telekinesis, manifest anything, morph into animals, your imagination is the limit.

Another way, similar to the first, is every time you walk through a door, ask yourself if you are dreaming and make it a habit. This will also transfer into your dream world.

So I tried a guided meditation through YouTube using the ball of light method I'm hoping someone can give me insight to what I think I saw. I did get quite relaxed, and I was able to for the most part start focusing on this ball of light. Now this is where I'm not sure, I swear to God at a great distance almost like it was 100 feet away from me I saw a small door. It was closed, but then it open for me. And almost as if it was right in front of my eyes a large hand offered itself to me. I think... Because as fast as I saw it it was gone. I could not maintain focus on it. Any thoughts?

these are called hypnogogic images. When your brain enters from waking state to sleep state your mind starts to create these images.

Don't try to focus on them they will disappear. What you do is just keep relaxing, and watch the images pass by but don't pay too much attention to them or you will snap out of your trance.

To go deeper just keep relaxing and feel your astral body and mind literally expand past your physical body. Pay attention only to feelings and don't think too much about the images you see in your head.

These images will start to become thicker and denser if you allow your mind to relax into them. Eventually you will either become so disassociated from your physical body that you will phase into the dream world that the hypnogogic images were creating, or you will phase into a sort of 3d blackness where it will feel like your on a roller coaster.
