Astral Projection experiences???

[♪Hazel♪]

Hey guys... I was just wondering if any of you have had experiences with astral projection!
I have a few short times last year... but after a few months of continuous trying, I found I was just falling asleep:uhhhhh:....

The ones I did experience were...
One in my friend Eleni's basement while she was on the computer, we were just listening to music and I was lying on the couch... I was dreaming about wanting to climb up a pole or something of the sort.. and I felt the vibrations starting.. but I had never felt them like that before, they were so clearly placed... Running up and down my body, I could tell exactly where they were and where they were going.. but I think thats the first time I didnt get excited about them .. I just simply thought they must have been Eleni's Mom, vaccuming underneath the couch!...
Eventually, I felt kind of uncomfortable, and I went to roll over... and I rolled right off the couch! ... I looked at the carpet, .. and the coffee table next to me.. and my hands... and realized.. "Im doing it!... OMg omg.. okay... stay calm.. dont ruin it..." and continued to crawl around on the floor, feeling the carpet :hehehehe:
When I tried to stand up, i felt extremely weighed down... like the force of gravity had just gotten a million pounds heavier... and I was trying to fight it so hard... it was unbelievable!
Then.. Eleni was shaking me and scared the crap out of me.. I like- twitched and punched her in the face lol.. then sat there and remembered it all! .. T'was coolie

Another time, I pretty much woke up in the middle of my dream... I mean I realized what i was dreaming was actually me astral travelling...
I was dreaming I was jumping up and down in my sister's room and she was just sitting on her bed watching... i was jumping so high i was touching the ceiling.. and laughing and being all WHEEE!! Look look! I feel like Im on the moon!! Whooohoo!! .. then I was like..'moon?.. hmm.. I can see everything perfect...'... and It became harder and harder to jump higher..and I realized I was sinking and becoming heavier... (that same weight came back again and I was unable to move!)... I dont remember if I woke up or continued dreaming,.. but that was pretty much all of it.

I dont know what this weight thing is.. if its some kind of psychic block.. when I realize Im astral travelling, I get all excited and it screws up...:wtf:
anyways, If you have anything youd like to share, It'd be fantastic.. or any tips on what I can do to get rid of that!!!

Thanks a bundle :rolleyes:

One of my friends and I have been trying to astral for some time but we got a few road blocks. I can relax just fine and I get to the point were I feel like I am leaving my phisical body but one of two things happen I one get too excited and loose everything or two I seem to get some parts of my body out but not all and then either fall asleep or get sucked back in and have to restart.

My friend on the other hand is in my oppinion an odd case cause he can start to astral he is the one who sees the parts of me come out but then he looses control of his astral body like he will either endup in a wierd non existing place fully aware of what he is doing or he will get thrown to some were not able to move but only able to wacth.

I was wondering if this happened to anyone else and if they maybe can gige some guidence on how we both can enjoy our astral travels to the fullest.

also I've found it much easier to try and astral when we are together it is like i dont have the power to do it by myself and I was also wondering if this is the case how can i gain the ability to do this by myself some how we are very close he is actually empathetic to me by simply touching me he can feel any pain that I have which sucks when i try to hide a pain

P.S. please excuse all the grammer errors I am going on maybe 2 hrs of sleepand had a long day at work.

blessed be

Yes I have and still do have astral experiences. Sometimes I am totally aware of where I am going and why, but there have been tmes when suddenly I wake up from sleeping and I am in someones hospital room or in a room with grieving people, and I heal and then I whoosh back and then wake up and wonder, where the heck I have been too. One other time, I had made an astral trip with my dragon....(he usually comes with me)....and I was in a group of familiar people when my ex boyfriend came up to me and touched me in a very old familiar way, my dragon got upset and whoosh I came back. Some do not believe in astral travelling, but I am one who definitly does.

Yes the same thing happens to me most of the time... the excitedness kills me! Because Im still conscious, and can feel it happening, My mind just jumps right off the deep-end and goes YAY!!!!!!:spinner:

and yea... as for feeling different body parts lift out, sometimes I'll feel just my arms out....
And once, when I was trying it in my basement with my friend Tesia, I was doing really well, lifting out, but it eventually felt like I was upsidedown standing on my head! Only my head wouldnt lift out! My eyes were some kind of problem i think... they werent completely relaxed...


I think only certain body parts lifting out results from unbalanced relaxation in the body.. before you attempt to lift out, make sure you are ENTIRELY relaxed, every part of you feels balanced.
And as for the excitement thing, I think it will just take time to get over, we might have to get used to just letting things go, going with the flow and staying mellow as it all happens.

best of luck!:drool:

Sometimes when you have this feeling of not being able to "get there", it could mean you are not relaxed enough or not letting go of the material world. Try some lucid dreaming for a few days before you wish to make an astral journey. This seems to help prepare ones psyche for the actual trip it's self.

And many blessings to you, as a Liverpudlian, living in the US. Go Manchester United!!............umm, cheer for Liverpool as well, but like Manchester also.
