A while ago my friend and I got into astral projection. The fact of leaving ones body put me in awe. My friend purchased a Astral projection Audio file by listing to this you can Leave your body. But it never worked it did relaxed me but nothing else. If any one has some insight on this it would be appreciate

Ask Your Angel is a good book
as well as Astral Voyage by Dr. Bruce Goldberg

The 1st thing you should know is it can never be done 1st time round its something you have to take step by step the 1st thing you should do is learn how to fully meditate so that sound cannot be heard caus eits so deep.

I've got an add-on quesion: Has anyone here actually done this?

*Bangs head against keyboard*
I sure am glad I didn't try doing my coursework on here.
Is anyone else having trouble posting? This happens on every forum I go to. How hard is it to create a working forum?

one of my friends tryed it for a whole year but gave up after that.
The closest ive ever got to it is I once had a dream that i was flying and then i saw the roof of my house then i was floating ii my room above my bed and i fell into myself i jolted and woke up but it was just a dream.
But recently i had my tonsils removed and as a came out of the sleep i started crying cause i was cofussed to where i was and i started shouting i had an experience and i kept repeating it cause i didnt want to forget cause the docs kept telling me to rest first and i didnt want to so someone came to speak to me. I told some people that a heard the hole thing but didnt see anything i heard the machines bleeping and the doctor talking softly to others as they were doing the operation.
I dont remeber it to much now but if thats the first thing i was coming out with when i woke up then i must of been sure.

I've tried this a few times, and on a couple occasions I've succeeded.

okay, i'm new to these forums so HELLO! everyone okay now onto the astral projection


okay, i have done it, i'm not sure if its even possible, but its pretty hard lemme start.

first your suppose to be sitting up, and you must concentrate all your negative energy and put it into someithng, like a jar, i envisioned this in my head, like a well, you MUST do this, for you are suppose to be "clean" when you are finished, clean of fear and such, you must keep it in the jar or whatever you choose, i choose a well, like i said, then i just destroyed it, then you are SUPPOSE to call out to your spirit guide, its suppose to be anythign, this was the hard aprt, i got really deep into sleep and i screwed this part of it up, and i snapped back up, it was pretty weird, but i didn't prject myself i just wanted to get into the astral realm.

okay, now there IS a good book on it i'm not sure what its called, soemthing with witches broomshticks or soemthign i'd know it if i swa it, but i seriouly believed it worked, you must be sitting up by the way, by layign down, it can put you to sleep, but sitting up keeps you "Awake" or soemtihng of that nature, just keep trying and you
ll get farther and farther, ooh, i stoipped trying after my second run, it kinda freeaked me out

There are many mays to project and the Monroe technique is one of hte well know techniques.
Basically you lie down and try to relax. Keep your forearm up so when you sleep you will know becaue your forearm will fall. This will cause you to wake and after some time you will be able to notice when you fall asleep and remain conscious.

I've come close but no cigar

Ive been doing some reshearch on the whole astral projection thing. And at first it all sounds like halabaloo and kinda hard to picture what some people try to explain.
So instead of me explaining what ive read il let you read it yourself

Outter body experiences The concept of astral projection has been around for a long time, but until today, it has been hidden from most of humanity. Now, with the aid of astral projection, new levels of knowledge and power enable us to discover the answer to Man's eternal question about life in the physical body. Death takes on a new meaning as we begin to realize that it is only a transition to another dimension, or place of existence. By learning to astral project, we can learn many things about ourselves, and unlearn many things that were previously thought to be true. This leads us to the realization that our physical bodies are only a part of our entire selves, and there is more to our existence than meets the eye!
In our limited awareness, the reality we live and breathe on earth, with its beautiful landscapes, mountains, rivers, streams, animals and insects, can be compared with the petals on a flower. What we see is not the whole flower, but only a part. This is because man has lost touch with the use of his own mind. He concludes, erroneously, that the physical world is the only reality there is. He believes that his life as an individual has only to do with the flesh body of himself, and concludes that the physical world is solid and real because his senses tell him it "feels" solid and real. The mind has abilities that go beyond the five senses of the physical world. The petal of the flower that we now experience is the material world or physical plane of existence. It has a specific vibration, just as all creatures on this level vibrate at the same rate. Because of this, regardless of where we go on this level, all things take on the appearance of being solid, material objects. Just as the colors of the rainbow show the effects of the different vibrations of light, and the melodies on the piano show the effect of the different notes, so, too, does the entire universe contain various octaves, or rates of vibration. These universal harmonics comprise the different levels of existence.
So the earth plane we live on is only one of many dimensions. There are other spheres that we describe as being above or below us. Actually, they are not really above or below us, but rather at all times around us, permeating all things. Astral projection allows us to discover that the people and objects existing on these other realms can be just as solid and real as any object on the earth terrain. And if we happened to be in another level, looking back "down" into this region, we would view an earth that was not solid. Right now, at every instant, we are living, coexisting with, and walking through people and objects of another dimension! When a person astral projects, he or she can see these other frontiers.

Our Astral Bodies
When we were born into this physical world, we were provided with a physical body to carry out our duties. Astral projection allows us to project "out of the body" and into the next plane of existence, which is the astral plane. When we do this, we are in another body, which is called the "astral body." We already possess this astral body, just as all other people, animals, creatures and everything on earth possess an astral body.
The astral body has some amazing properties. Unlike the physical body, which is held down by gravity, the astral body can overcome this limitation by the effort of thought alone. While out of the body, we can not only walk around as if in the physical, but also soar above the trees, or go out into space. Another property of the astral body is that it cannot be injured. One of the greatest fears while on earth is pain or injury. While out of the body, this normal human reaction can be unlearned, because there is absolutely nothing that will cause damage to the astral body! In the next dimension, fire, knives, guns, falling from great heights, electrical shocks, disease, wild animals or being run over by a steam roller can do no harm. Many people receive lessons about this in their dreams. Watch for them, because you'll discover that you always survive - don't you?
In this next level of existence, which all of us can visit, there are many familiar things, such as cars, trains, planes, and highways. Everything that is on this earth right now comes from the astral plane. Many people get this backwards. They think the astral dimension was molded from earth. The truth is, the earth was fashioned from the ideas and discoveries which originated on the astral.
When we are out of the body, communication is accomplished by thought. Another word for this is telepathy. In other words, it is not necessary to move our lips in order to be heard, although we can do this if we wish. Sometimes, when we hear what we think is just a thought, this could actually be someone communicating to us from the astral.
This next plane of existence has been sought after, researched, and argued about by philosophers and religious people from time immemorial. Until now, it has remained elusive and has evaded discovery to all but the most diligent. The individual who looks within instead of without, who looks to correct his own imperfections, and who treats others as he wishes to be treated will have the door of discovery swing wide open for him.

Wow if any of you could be arsed to read all that im proud

I'm not reading it

Well.. i've tried ... do not lie down, it is much better to sit so you won't fall asleep. The last time I freaked out and stoped because I wasn't ready to 'see' what's 'out' there.

Well I haven't noticed much difference as I can easily sleep and even go into sleep paralysis while sitting. I'll try that next time though.

This is interesting I've never heard of this before.

The way I know of to do Astral Projection is:

-Lie down in a compfortable position, arms and legs uncrossed.

-Take 3 deep breaths. (in through the nose and out of the mouth)

-Imaging yourself stretching from head to foot, that you are getting longer and shorter.

-You may begin to feel tingly, or itchy, ignore it, if you move or shudder you will have to start over.


Thats pretty much it, although it may not happen straight away, just keep practising.

I've not tried to induce projection voluntarily but I believe it is possible given practice and patience.. From researching the subject there are various methods you can try but not every one will work for you. Its very much trial and error, I have read that some people just wished for it to happen every night before going to sleep "I want to be aware of my astral projections." Keeping a dream book may also assist as this helps your consciousness become more aware of the phenomena it is experiencing every night. Some people testify that the best time to try is on waking when your still in a dreamy state after sleep, relax again and try to imagine yourself looking down on your body or again ask to astrally project. A friend told me they knew somebody who could do it, they mocked so the person set up a test and asked them to put a message on their cabinet table that night. They did and the next day the person told them the exact message, it freaked her out big time. This person told her the way he initially achieved AP was by lying on his bed and concentrating on a finger of the right hand, trying to induce the astral body to leave the finger, slowly but surely the astral body began to show itself so he moved on to the rest of his hand & body over time. It took him several months of trying for it to begin so again patience is the key.

An earlier post mentioned about being above their house and jolting back into their body. I had a similar experience several years ago, I became aware that I was floating above our local town centre, about 200 feet in the air, it was night time. I was looking around for a few moments and then suddenly shot off at extraordinary speed before waking up in my bed. This shocked me at the time and even more so when I checked the local map and noticed the direction I had taken was an exact straight line from my location in the town centre to my home. It could have co-incidence but AP was not something I was even aware of at the time. Since I recall various dreams where I have become aware of flying and able to decide on the direction to take however not in familiar places and without being mentally aware that I may be astrally projecting. I believe we all AP at night when asleep, the astral body leaving the body is a natural occurrence its just how we tap into that reality which is the hard part.

Good luck whoever is trying it!

I've tried this before, to no avail. Right as my body starts tingling, my leg or arm twitches, and I have to start all over.

Controlled breathing. Deeeeep. See yourself meditating somewhere else that is totally relaxing. I picture myself on the peak of a snow covered mountain. The very top. Then I picture myself with the mountain fading away under me and I'm just floating higher and higher. This has lead to some really awesome visions.

PsychicPenguin- Dude, your absolutely right. It can get pretty frightening(what is out there). Especially after youve smoked a Jay. lol One of the first times I meditated I saw something that scared the hell out of me and sent me backwards off of my ass on my back. I'm not the type to get scared of anything but that was the most vivid sight I had ever seen in my mind. After that I was hooked.
