Astral projection?

[Silent Sound]

Hi Everyone,

Hope you can help.

The other afternoon I was a bit sleepy, so I went to my room & just had some calm time, just sat on my bed, & looked in the mirror & thought of nothing.

It is quite interesting to see your face change & colours appear, I heard that if you looked you might see the outline of your astral body. I felt aware of my energy but that is not an unusual thing & after a bit, I just curled up on my bed & went to sleep.

I have not ever tried to astral project - I have heard of it in passing but it isn't something I have conciously attempted.

So anyway, I wake up but I realise I am trying to leave my body - it is like a heavy pulse beating or the pull of water you swirl in a cup - and on that pull I am trying to leave my body. And then in almost fractured strobe movement (buzzy) I floated above my actual body - I knew I was not in it because I could see my legs & I was floating - I thought okayyy & looked & all I could see was grey & then I thought is this ok? leaving? where am I going? what if I forget my body? - I wasn't afraid - I was glad I knew how to 'launch' properly but then I got distraceted (I think fear) & thudded back in.

Last night I tried to just let my body do what it wanted, I could feel the vibrations & see lights but I think I was still holding myself back.

Do you think this soiunds like Astral projection, is it normal that it would happen without me conciously trying to have an experience.

It felt like my astral body really wanted to go, it is just my physical self that is wondering.

I have had a kind of OBE experience before, whilst I was awake, where I left my body but it was more of a memory & not as 'knowing' as the one I had the other day. This was very real, almost violent the way I was trying to get out!

Thanks for any tips or advice if you have any.

Thank you xx

Im not too experienced in this but i do look into it a lot, but to me it just sounds like you need some practice in the leaving body stage is all.

It sounds like you're apprehensive about letting your 'astral body' go. That is the problem.

Kya, perhaps...

But if you are inexperienced in astral projection/traveling, you should keep in mind that you are putting your physical body at the risk of possession by other spirits (namely, evil ones) when your own spirit leaves your body.
