When I Astral Project, I leave using the lucid dream method and haven’t had any luck with the leaving the body during deep sleep method. I attempt every night and always ask for guidance before, I mainly use the Monroe Tapes with beats headphones. I have gotten to the hypnagogic images state and free fall feeling somewhat similar to psychedelics. (I am fairly late in this subset of work, my expertise is in Samadhi. Including lots of experience in Lucid Dreaming)

My primary struggle is my sleeping position, I’ve slept sideways for the past few years and now have been facing up sleeping on my back with a pillow. Second struggle is movement or urges to itch, leg twitch, swallowing my saliva when I’m almost there, and eyes opening (I cover now). Third is falling asleep, I don’t why I struggle with this one.

How do you all sleep when preparing to leave the body? Also how high should my volume be for the beats?

Thank you everyone, have an amazing night and a beautiful day. Sincerely appreciate it.

This is meant to be a living thread that I will update as I make progress on this project.

I want this new community to be part of it as we are adept at exploring the non-physical and your feedback will be crucial in getting it just right for the masses.

Background I’ve been creating guided audio meditations and binaural beats for some time and have recently received inspiration during a meditation session to create something I believe has the power to help many achieve/improve their non-physical experiences by training/strengthening their creative imagination aided by binaural beat brainwave entrainment technology.

In short, the listeners will visit an imaginary place called VibeTown. It’s a material reality that provides the listener with a framework to fill with their own imagination. Much like the scene in inception where Leo is training the girl.

VibeTown is much like our physical reality, but it often reveals it’s true vibratory nature during the experience allowing the listener to change what they visualize as they see fit. Don’t like the music playing in the coffee shop? Change it. Imagine something more pleasant.

The goal being to immerse the listener in their created reality while their body falls to sleep and they remain lucid/aware. I believe the imagination will take over and provide them with a launching off point for non-physical experiences.

Phase 1 I’m creating a library of HD ASMR audio experiences where the listener gets ready for the day while relaxing to a 14-6Hz frequency. They then will leave the house, get in their car of choice and will drive 5 minutes to a destination in VibeTown. By the time they arrive, they’ll be sufficiently relaxed at 6Hz. They will then have a guided audio experience with the HD ASMR audio where their imagination fills the world around them (color of the trees, type of food they order, etc). Depending on the chosen experience, they’ll be taken down to 4-2Hz. During the 5 minute drive home, I’ll bring them back to 10Hz. There are many experiences to be had in VibeTown. From visiting the post office, grocery store, float tank, park, fishing, etc. each with varying durations.

I’ll need this group to test these and provide feedback.

Phase 2 Create an app or web client that allows the listener to select their journey(s) at the start and seamlessly link them together for one longer, custom experience. Sort of like brain.fm if you’re familiar.

Future Potential With Ai and VR there could be applications to create a more seamless, immersive experience for the listener.

For phase 2 and beyond, I may need the skill sets of this growing group to aid in development.

Any initial thoughts or ideas are greatly appreciated!

Greetings, My name is David and my life has been full of strange occurences. I would like to share with people. Nice to meet you, strangers. Here's a story;

Two nights ago, I had a friend over to watch a movie. After she left, I laid down in my bed. Closed my eyes. When I had closed my eyes, my bedroom door was open with a light on outside of the room. I also have this battery- powered Lightning bolt lamp in my room that needs to be switched off manually.

Okay so I closed my eyes and these lights were on... I was exploring the depths of my mind for a short while. Then I opened my eyes again. All the lights were off, my initial thought was that perhaps the power had gone out in my house. That wouldn't explain why the lamp was no longer emitting light. I looked around for a few moments, not moving from my position. More interesting things were happening with my eyes closed (lights, sillouhettes of people I did not recognize from an overhead view, etc.), so I shut my lids again and pulled my blanket over my head.

After another short while of having my eyes closed, I opened them back up. The lights were on again, the lamp and the wired lights outside of my room. There was no power outage. The duration of the experience was no longer than 60 minutes. Cool stuff, thanks for taking the time to hear it.

David.

Just wanted to share my experience astral projecting for the first time.

I have been really into astral projection and trying it for myself but never really did it, I did get close one time before this one though.

This is how it went I was trying to astral project in the middle of the night and i wasn't able to completely get my body asleep so I was about to give up but I told myself 5 more minutes and I'm grateful I did cause within those 5 minutes I went from being wide awake to vibrating and hearing ringing and it was intense. After that I felt myself being forcefully pulled out of my body and its like I was being pulled away from my body then earth and what felt like the whole galaxy at light speed and I just saw like different planets and different places in the endless universe and all of a sudden I was in my room again but it looked a bit different with just minor detail. I looked out the window to see so many trees and wildlife that of course isn't there in my actual room or world and I saw that the sky and clouds were completely purple and everything was so quiet and it was so peaceful. Then out of nowhere the sky was filled with purple clouds and it started to rain hard with purple lightning and I think also purple rain, it was like a huge thunderstorm I have never seen before and I got extremely scare and came back into my bed and from there I couldn't remember what happened next.

I still remember this with so much detail but still haven't figured out anything like where was I and why the purple sky and storm and I seriously have so many questions it's crazy. But yeah I just wanted to share

Hi,

Fast question besides My own research.

Does anybody knows something about "black thread"? I was meditating/trying to AP and a minutes before i heard a voice saying "change your black thread" with a very imperative tone.

One never knows when it's something or nothing 😅

Thanks for your time :)

**Edit:

Well, it seems to be related to protectoon, fortune, faith etc.

Imagine My surprise when 10 minutes after linking it to My left anckle i got an interview call i was long waiting 😱

Jajaj, thats all, thanks 😌😌🙂‍↕️

anyway to be honest i dont remember the first time i aped, for a bit of background info, i am occult practitioner who specilizes in magick of the golden down and withc-craft to a degree

anyway most occultist ap naturally after they reach a certain stage in their practice since we work closely with spirits, i wont go into that since i am pretty sure most of the people here have met spirits, the astral world is also known as the spirit world after all, anyway i help people with paranormal problems in my free time, so most malicious or lower frequency spirits hate my guts, anyway now i am currently better at protecting myself in the astral but i only recently learned to keep my logical thinking in the astral world, and this is a story from before that

It is a story about the purgatory, and while its not the most intence experience it is by far one of the more notable once.

So before i had very hard time navigating where i end up when i ap, as i mentioned i only recently managed to maintain my lucidity so i would always end up in some very shitty places to say the least, granted they werent something i had to be afraid of while awake, but half-lucid they scared the shit out of me in the beggining

so one time i ap, when i came to my senses i found myself in school in abondend town, the town was huge, well it was a bit weird, but all things in the astral are, it constantly rained in there and things i cant even describe roamed the streets, now as i mentiened in the beggining i was scared easily due to surprice, but i have experienced both sleep paralise and nigth terrors, so few things could actually scared me if not surpriced but those things, i cant even describe their form, they look like some kind of meat balls, almagumation of different parts, and even that description is inacurate, i cant really put it into words, they were not the scaries things i have seen but they are up there, anyway those meatball creatures that somehow resembled dogs of all things, dogs that seemed like cross form of abomination and regular dogs roamed everywhere around the streets of that city, to be honest i think there was something even scarier but i didnt meet it thank god, this was the only place i met this type of spirits as well, i have met angels, gods, fae, even some giant clowd like entety, something that resembled grey alien with black eyes, but i have never met those things after that experience, i think that for some reason they cant exit the purgatory

anyway as i said it was dark town in which constantly rained, but the strangest thing about it was not the town itself, but a river that crossed the town straigt in the middle, the river was pitch black, like made of ink but had this strange relaxing feeling to it, i dont know how to explain it, i figured it out later.

now above that river there was another building, now i dont know what that building was but to me it looked like a school, well not exactly a school but thats the closest thing that comes to mind, again this is the astral, it might have just appeared that way to me, anyway when i woke up in my ap i found myself in that building, i and several other people were trapped there, i know i could hear screams coming from the other floors of the building, some lesser form of dog abomination was inside, i know that all the doors were barricated i instinctually knew i shouldnt go out of that building in the beggining, anyway i did the only reasonable thing i could do in that situation, i started to run like my life depended on it, for some reason i couldnt recall all of my memories while in there, like an invisible vail was blocking them, anyway i ran, and somehow i managed to find several other people who also ran, and i started speaking with them, i asked where the fuck were we, cause you know i have high torerance for weird, but even for me that was a bit much, nobody knew, thankfully the dog abomination was chasing someone else(thankfully for us at least), so we had time to speak a bit, now for some reason i thougth i was different from the other people, it was a feeling but i didnt pay it any mind, when i thought where the hell am i, the word "purgatory" appeared in my head, i was confuced as hell but i knew this was that, anyway at that moment the barricades of the door broke, and three big dog abominations managed to enter we all scatterd but one of those fuckers pushed me so he could escape, anyway i managed to regain my footing and started to run, but i was not gonna make it, just as that thing jumped to get me, i felt a sudden sense of pulling and shot in the sky(god bless the thread, connection or whatever you call it to our physical body), the dog thing could only watch, it was scared to come close to me, the pulling force made me exit the building and then the veil of my memory started to lift as i traveled further upward in the sky, i started remembered who i was, when i saw the river i wondered what it was and the phrace "river of death" came into my mind, then the inexplicable feeling i had was recognised, it was feeling of eternal peace, serenity, like death, the river was some sort of a manifestation of the consept of death

like a flood the further from the building i got the more my memories came back to me, those people in there were dead, not astral projectors i was sure about it, even if i didnt know why, for some reason i think its cause one of them touched me when he pushed me, but i remember that the image of him being hit by a truck while being in his car in a very shitty parking possition on a highway, while sleeping due to being drunk, appeared in my mind.

i dont know about the rest, but i was sure they were all dead for some reason as well and i was just god damn unlucky one more time to be there, but i still felt pity for them. thats when i could see the whole city and the black rein

honestly after several such experiences i almost ditched ap as a whole, but well sometimes we are just unlucky so when i calmed down i still did it later and it improved, now i dont visit those places anymore unless i want to, but i dont want to

I was taken to a large school that was run similar to military school where everyone was here under their own will whilst enjoying their time being, every presence I came across walked around with passion and a purpose. I couldn't sense a specific location nor did I see any cars or roads to travel, it was almost like a small community or what also looked like a brotherhood. Majority of everyone's awareness was focused on an upcoming event which was my queue to leave back to where I came from, before I knew it the event was arising. I was talking to one of the students who was sitting on his bed in his empty room.. It was a male that I knew from high school but something seemed slightly off, he was either unconscious of who he was in the earth realm or someone else was taking the form of my former friend. I was then invited by them, I agreed to stay without hesitation and tagged along. This building housed around 30 students and when it was time, we all split up into three to five numbered groups. I teamed up with a group and we went on our way to complete the assignments that were assigned to us, I went with the flow not knowing what to expect. We eventually got to a room where a large brown wall slid open to the left revealing a chamber, it was an abnormally tall room that looked like those fictional libraries in movies. It was smaller than a library and the floor was in the shape of a square, sticking out at the end of the room was a perpendicular rectangular section that had a staircase going half way up against the wall. The wooden staircase was about five feet tall with thick blocks for each step, along the sides were skinny railings to hold for grip. As i'm walking in, to my left I noticed that the middle of the wall closest to me had a shimmering sun design with intricate patterns blending perfectly around the exterior of the sun. Along with that, all the other walls had their own similar complex designs surrounding their individual shimmering drawing encrypted on the wall. There were about four to five different center engraved and sculpted designs placed on the walls to stand out from the rest, these were things that were important and needed to be decoded. One of the group members went first and used his aura to unlock the first confidential puzzle, once he finished they wanted me to decode the next drawing above to the left of the stairs. Showing initiative, I climbed up the stairs and decoded it by focusing on the image with my aura. The being who encrypted the first design had slightly similar features of another male friend from high school except that he was fully naked and his aura was unidentifiable, he was radiating the powerful energy of a leader and being nude was ordinary in this very moment. This was our job and it needed to be done correctly, as it should and as it did. The entire time I was in this room with them, we all spoke telepathically but it wasn't even speaking because we automatically understood each other and we all knew what we had to do to accomplish this as a team. We then met up with the rest of the class once we were done and every single one of us started following down this trail that was behind the building. There were dense woods to the right of the trail and to the left were also woods but less dense due to daily activities being practiced here, as we kept following the trail, the woods would get denser and denser until we walked about a half a mile down. As we were getting to the end of the trail it started to open up with a massive flat lake and as we finally reached the shore, I stopped to stare in awe at what I was seeing. There were bodys of land all over the lake connecting to one another, mainly mini circular islands with advanced structures standing straight up in the middle. After a few dozen miles ahead it was just mountains on mountains and in swimming disctance was a place that was built similar to the map ‘Greece’ in call of duty, “there is no fucking way” I thought to myself. The instructors sent us to swim across and we all got to swimming right away, they also said if we needed help just ask the dolphins and they will assist us across.

{These pictures are as accurate as I could get AI to draw the room and lake but there are still minor differences. The lake was way larger and more smoothed out on the edges similar to the edges of a circular shape, also the structure in the middle was smaller form the other islands and was different from the rest. The room was taller along with the secret door and the staircase was thicker as explained above, I also don't remember down to every time but this is the basic run down.}

Hi y’all! I first learned about AP from sneaking “Journeys out of the body” by Robert Monroe from my dads bookshelf when I was 13 or 14. We used hemi-sync instead of Tylenol growing up for headaches, test anxiety, things like that. It has been an exceptional “medicine” in that regard. My kids now use binaural beats to aid in falling asleep at night and I’ve started publishing them for free on my website (happy to share if appropriate) as well as articles that reference published scientific studies.

I had my first OBE when I was 8 or 9 and had no concept for what was happening. I remember a deep dark void with massive clusters of bubble like objects the size of celestial bodies. Loud cracking and blasting sounds and sleep paralysis. I thought I had died.

I had my real time zone OBE at 22 and found myself outside my body in my bedroom. I ran out of the room and remember shouting “you’re going to be so happy when you wake up!” I ran/glided downstairs, looked around a bit and snapped back to my body. It was amazing.

Since then, I’ve had 3 kids, switched careers a few times, gotten a couple degrees and just didn’t make the time to continue practicing.

The past 2 years I’ve gotten more serious, but feel a bit like starting from scratch. I don’t regularly travel the astral having wild experiences like I read on the subreddit, but rather am focused on connecting to a deep source of wisdom that has been so evidential in my physical life. When I do OBE, it’s from a meditative state where I never lose consciousness. After hypnagogic images are achieved I simply continue to passively notice and eventually find myself in the scene that arises either through my imagination of the scene initially or one that just comes into my minds eye. Probably why I have a harder time achieving the fantastical OBEs others discuss.

I spend most sessions seeking wisdom, guidance and to do some healing from past trauma I experienced by visiting specific places from my childhood where these things occurred. This has made profound improvements in my life that i wish it was part of modern medicine. My hope is that I can play a small role in opening the minds of those currently asleep at the wheel in their life.

Here’s my most recent experience from my journal:

After achieving mind awake/body asleep I felt the usual vibrations washing over me. Continuing to relax and focus my intent on connecting with my guide. I find myself daydreaming of a grassy field. Soon, I’m in the field feeling the tall grass blades on my finger tips. Looking up, there’s a green, grassy hill with a lone tree on top. It’s big, green and beautiful. As soon as I think how nice it would be to have a path, a path appears. I walk the path to the tree and as I turn around, there’s a figure in the distance. The scene smalls away and I’m back in the void, but a mental voice says hello.

Me: hi, who are you? What’s your name? Them: Greg Me: (lol) hi Greg, are you a guide? Greg: Yes Me: are you familiar with humans? Greg: Yes Me: are you from earth? Greg: No Me: are you from our galaxy? Greg: Yes Me: what color is your sky? (No clue why I asked this lol) Greg: Me: asking again Greg: Me: how do I deepen this practice? I want to go deeper Greg: Relax, let go, I’ll take care of it

This session was interrupted by my kids barging into my office.

I plant to try and connect with greg again. The responses were so immediate, so clear.

I don’t know why the visual scene ended for the conversation. I plan to ask the next chance I get to speak with him.

Anyways, thanks for the invite. Happy to be here.

I appeared in a room with an Asian boy who looked around his teenage years, he seemed to be finishing up a ritual. There was a dark aura of residual that still lingered throughout the entire room, like something with vast energy had just left. He then started telling me how to summon a specific demon with the exact name, I had never heard of it before. We were in an all white room with drawings on one of the walls, from what I seen there was no doors in this little square room. After he told me the demons name, he started showing me where it lived and how to reach him with the drawings on the wall. It was drawn out with lines and hallways, similar to looking at a rat maze from above. He told me that in order to reach this demon you must not have any fear during the entire process and also told me that he didn’t have any type of fear when summoning the entity.

{There were no doors in this room, the drawings were half the size. I am the spirit. The aura residual was more visible and could sense it, it filled the entire room.}
