Rob's Astral Projection Log

[Rob]

It is so difficult to practice astral projection with your partner in the bed. You get to realise just how much the body moves about, when sleeping.

I did not get much from yesterdays attempts but I did get some interesting visuals.

At one point I realised that I had been asleep and that my body had rolled onto its side. I did not open my eyes, as I could see very vivid patterns of light.
I will try my best to describe this:
Imagine that you can see a pure white disc of light, then the outsides go dark and move towards the centre, gently extinguishing this light. These visuals went on for about 1 minute. This then changed into a more random outside edge. So it basically looked like an inkblot in white light and it faded in the same way as the other disc visual. This went on for a bit longer and put me to sleep as it had a very hypnotic effect on me.

If that happens again, try getting up out of bed and see if you are actually in your body or if you have already gone through the separation!

Good tip, Pilar

I have just remembered an experience that I had last night whilst trying to reach the trance state. It kind of freaked me out a bit.

I was lying in bed and I lost consciousness. When I started to regain consciousness I became aware of Shilas legs turning into many tentacles (you don't want to know what the spell checker nearly put in instead of tentacles lol)
and I could feel them thrashing about at the end of the bed, as it scared me somewhat I came out of the trance pretty quick and thought, thank god for that. :o

I was able to leave my body again, have to do a proper write up.

keywords to remind me.

Pressure
Noise
Ears, felt like fluid seeping out. Did have control, but was better to just let everything happen even though it felt very strange, like drowning and water going in ears.
Paralysis
Lucid
Trails, ectoplasm
Had to put up a real big fight to get out
Have to learn to move, still trying to use my muscles.
Tried to enter the Astral Planes by flying up at an angle.


Thought had substance
was able to touch it and play with the thought matter.

I was leaving trails of light.

Could see my thoughts forming or the energy of my thoughts.

Downstairs
Couch
Front Room
Voices
Cold


Found it difficult to get out of the paralysis to wake up.
Had to use count, like on the hemi-sync tapes. Even that took a while.

Could see room through closed eyes.

HOLY CRAP, just remembered that before this AP I did a self healing about 30 minutes ago with Reiki an my third eye. And I then at some point went into paralysis.

Did not even try to AP, just happened,was instead trying to open my third eye.

Also before this I did a meditation upstairs, went into a very deep focus 10 very easily.

Here is my write up of the out of body experience that I experienced last night and the lead up to it.

I went into my small meditation room as I do every day. I entered my meditation room in my head too. I have found that actually entering a meditation room in your mind as well as your physical somehow seems to empower you meditation somewhat and it seems much easier to enter into Focus 10 or a deep trance. I have a very simple room that I use in my mind. It is based on a white room with a single green cube in the centre. When I enter the room I visualise the green cube, feel its texture and look at the smooth surface and edges. Then I sit next to it and light my virtual jostick with my virtual matches. I then visualise the smoke being emitted and I become aware of the sweet aroma that is filling my meditation room. Next I close my eyes in my virtual meditation room and start to meditate. So in effect I have gone into three levels. First one is the physical world. Second one is the mental world. And the third is the spiritual world. This technique that I have been made aware of through regular meditation seems to work very well for me.

I became aware of flashes of light in my left peripheral vision area; I just ignored that and seemed to go even deeper. I noticed that the blackness in front of my closed eyes had different focus depths, so I practiced focusing on the different levels. At this point I became aware of pins and needles in my leg and thought; I should get back now to avoid the pain of a dead leg when the circulation comes back.

I then decided that I seem to be getting somewhere with this and went downstairs into the front room to carry on with this meditation on a comfortable couch. I closed my eyes and just decided to look into the darkness for inspiration. I then had the idea to use Reiki on my third eye to help me see things more clearly. So I proceeded to place both hands, one on top of the other, onto the area of my third eye. I opened up to the power of Reiki and allowed it to flow into my third eye. I became aware of a slight discomfort, almost like a pressure headache but with no pain.

After a while and when it felt right to stop. I placed my hands back onto my solar plexus and noticed that I could see a lot more activity behind my closed eyelids. I just watched this faint lightshow and became aware of what felt like yawning or energy moving around my head and coming out of my ears. I remember thinking to myself that this did not feel pleasant at all, but decided to just let it do its stuff. Then I could hear this strange sound, like going under water and everything was getting muffled I could also feel the water/energy flowing in/out of my ears.

I then thought holy crap this might lead to an OOBE and I did not even plan it. So I decided to turn this meditation into an AP experiment. With that thought in my mind I immediately became aware of a voice in my head, but I could not make it out. I also became aware of intense pressure and weight on my body. At this point I had the thought in my mind that this will pass. The sound did but the pressure was still there. I then became aware of the room, it was very clear.

I thought that was interesting and tried to get up, but found that I was paralysed. I tried all sorts of techniques but none of them seemed to work. In the end I just had to use brute force and really work hard to break free. So I had to role out of my body, I kept thinking I’m going to hit the floor here. But was reassured by the fact that it was not high from the floor and that we had a very deep pile carpet. After a while of fighting to get out, I managed to role onto the floor with my face stuck into the carpet. I thought I have to get up here as I am too close to my body and risk being sucked back in.

I somehow managed to get myself to stand up in the room, I held back the excitement. I have no idea how I did this, but I did. I was looking into it with the attitude of OK now lets see what we can do and never getting excited as I knew I would loose it. I guess I was in a very scientific frame of mind and wanted to analyse everything. I then remembered about what I have read about other people’s accounts and how some see their body lying down and some don’t. So I turned around and could not see my body only light trails where I had slid off the couch onto the floor.

I remember thinking this is very interesting and I picked up the light and pulled it towards me. To my surprise I could pull the trail of light towards me. I started to play with this light as it had substance. I have no idea what it was, but the closest thing that I could relate to was ectoplasm, like what the mediums sometimes produce in physical mediumship. I think I was seeing thought or thought forms, because as I was thinking things I could see the energy in front of me started to manifest, but then it would just fade away. I think that the thought forms where going into a higher vibrational state and perhaps entering the Astral Planes.

I then thought I would like to get into contact with a higher being. I then became aware of more light that started to manifest in front of me and it started to take form. For some reason I felt very emotional and felt very privileged to be in front of this energy. The energy did not take a physical form; it just looked like a field of moving energy. Same as what I looked like as I did not have a body; the same energy/light that I was leaving behind when I moved. I remember thinking this is like being a slug, the way they leave a trail when they move.

At this point I kept thinking I really have to get back, because I will forget all of this if I don’t. I then tried one more thing and that was to get into the Astral Plane. I tried to fly up into the air at an angle, but just could not seem to fly; in fact I was very poor at moving in this state as I was still trying to use my physical muscles. I then decided it was time to get back, as I could not do much.

I tried to align myself back to where I had been lying on the couch and I then became aware of the paralysis again. I then tried to wake up, but I could not. How strange I thought, normally it’s the other way around i.e. its hard to get out not hard to get back in. I tried and tried my best to wake up, but I just could not. So I then thought right ok, lets try some techniques to get out of the paralysed state. I then remembered what I had learned from the hemi-sync tapes, about the count from ten to one. So I did this and still nothing, at this point I was getting a bit worried as I could not get back. So I though right ok, I will just relax let it do what it wants. After about 10 seconds I was back in the real world lying down on the couch. I did not realise that I was back in the real world as it all still looked the same. So I got up and had to really test to make sure I was back. I was, and then I let the excitement out.

I ran upstairs in the dark, nearly tripping up in the process. Sat at my PC and posted keywords on this forum to help me remember so that I could write up my experience. I then went to bed a bit apprehensive, but managed to get a good nights sleep.

How cool is this? Rob, just weeks ago you were joking about probably never being able to project.... And here you are proving yourself wrong!!! In the best possible way of course!

Congratulations, you've made some really great steps.

I have started having near-projections. There have been a lot of moments where I have become aware of the dreams I am in and I've thought about projecting, but then decided to just go with the dream and relax...

Maybe next time I'll try and get out

[Rob]

Thanks to the law of attraction. ;D

I so want to be able to control this.

Thanks for all the support guys.

*Runs off to light his virtual josticks* :D

It’s funny how I seem to be able to have an out of body experience when I don’t try. This is the second time now that it has happened when I have not been trying.

I started off with the LS (light and sound) machine set on a deep meditation session. This session is the longest on the LS machine. It is approximately 1 hour in length. It did as it was designed, that of relaxing me very deeply. I managed to sink into a very deep trance state and could feel my heart chakra beating very hard. I managed to see a few visual images but I think for most of the time I was unconscious. Eventually the session started to increase in frequency and the lights were getting brighter and redder.

After I had finished with the LS machine I decided to go to sleep. The time was about 12:15am. Next thing I know I’m laying on my side with a very strong urge to leave my body. This must have been within about 5 minutes of going to sleep. I always remember what Pilar said to me about trying to get up even if you think you are not asleep, this was also talked about on the mystic web course. So I tried to get up and realised I was stuck again in paralysis.

I managed to free myself from my body with not too much difficulty, not like last time when I had to put up a real big fight. It still felt like wading through treacle when exiting but I managed to get out. One thing I have noticed when you are out of your body is that you are very susceptible to thoughts and what you have heard/read about the subject. As an example when I was out of my body I remembered reading something on one of the forums about Astral blindness. As soon as I thought about it, I was blind. But I was still aware of where I was in the room. Now that is hard to grasp, I have no way of explaining it. I tried as hard as I could to try to see in front of me. I tried to remember what I had read about it. In the end I drifted too close to my body and remembered again what happens when you do this. I was sucked back in and regained my sight.

I then tried to exit a second time and to not think about any preconceived expectations that I may have heard or read about. My exit this time was a lot smoother and I could still see. My vision was so clear and I was so very lucid. I went up to my bedroom window and pushed my hand through it. I could feel my hand sink through the glass, like it was made out of a viscous liquid. As soon as my fingers went beyond the glass I could feel the temperature drop of the outside hitting my fingers. I pulled my hand back in and decided to go downstairs.

I walked through the bedroom door and proceeded to walk down the stairs into the hallway facing the front door. I looked at the door and decided I wanted to go outside. So I pushed both of my hands through the door and then I walked through with the rest of my body. I ended up in the front porch, just another set of doors and I would be outside, free.

Eventually I managed to get myself outside into my front garden. I remember how fresh and clear it felt, but I could not feel any cold, although I was aware of it. I then thought ok now what. I tried to fly again but just can’t seem to get the knack of it. So I have to walk everywhere. I then thought, but the whole point of this is to be able to fly. So I put my hand up in the air, like superman lol. I jumped up as high as I could and was getting nowhere fast. I then thought right what else can I try.

I thought it would be nice to go and visit one of my friends on MSN. Alex sprung to mind, so with that I tried to get there. Not being able to fly or move with just my thought I had to give that idea a miss as walking would have taken me a very, very long time.
I then noticed someone in a type of vehicle going down my road, he was obviously there to give me a clue. I tried to imagine getting the vehicle from him but he just ignored me and gave me a feeling of get your own. For some stupid reason I generated a psi ball and tried to throw it at him to get his attention. I missed as I need to learn accuracy it seems.

I somehow managed to manifest an aircraft in front of me. I got in and started to fly it. I noticed that I was now falling into a dream. So I decided to call it a day and wake up. I did wake up almost immediately. I had a look at the time and it was about 12:35. I had only been out of body for about 15 minutes.

I have noticed that when I use the LS machine, that remembering dreams is so much easier and they are so much more vivid. Also looks like it helps you to remember your out of body experiences.
