WILD
Using a new astral projection technique I finally have another beautiful experience.
For the last couple of months I have been trying a mixture of techniques to achieve astral projection but none have been successful. Since my last experience I had continued to use the original technique I had started off with, which I had found to be very successful but this required me to wake up naturally, which I am no longer able to do now that lockdown is over. I am back at work full-time, meaning that I am setting an alarm in the mornings. I tried using my old technique at the weekends but it had stopped working for me altogether. Is the reason for this due to the fact that I am trying to AP less often or is it because of the last experience had caused a bit of anxiety and therefore fear is stopping any further experiences? I am not sure what the answer is.
I started to incorporate new techniques during the week that aims at keeping the mind awake while the body sleeps. As you can imagine this is very tricky to do and needless to say I couldn’t do it. I have not had any experiences worth writing about. However, while in sleep on about two or three occasions my mind has become consciously aware that I’m going through the portal/tunnel of light/energy and I do recall anticipating what is going to come next knowing that I am now at the beginning of an AP experience. After exiting the tunnel/portal my memory cannot recall what happened next. I have also felt vibrations in my body after coming out of sleep and feeling a slight separation beginning to happen but nothing had come of it.
I was feeling very frustrated with the fact I had learnt this weird and wonderful skill that I had been totally unaware was possible to have, being able to induce the experience whenever I had a strong intention to now not being able to bring the experience to fruition. After continuing to read many book s and listening to podcasts about AP I came across an app recommendation which was Lucidity. This app contained five different techniques that could be used to achieve AP which were all abbreviated (as shown in the above image on the left). I was unsure which one to focus my attention on for the next few days so I asked my Guides for help. This is a subject in itself which I will be writing about soon in this blog. I asked my Guides which one of these techniques will work for me. I then go to grab my dream/AP journal to begin writing a plan of action that I will begin to practice until my sign is given to me. But before I go to open up the journal I notice a sticker on the front cover of my book (right of the image above)… and there was my sign…..WILD.
So I tried the WILD technique and it worked first time!
‘Welcome Hannah’
My blog about my creative and spiritual journey through art and Astral Projection.
I write two tasks that I would like to experience before I go to bed. Most of the tasks I have set beforehand have been to meet my spirit guides and in this experience I believe I did but not knowing it at the time. So I set my alarm for 1am then got up to go to the bathroom to then come back to bed while mentally going over my affirmations ‘I am powerful, I am strong, I am out of body’ before falling back to sleep. I woke up naturally in the morning and I was fully conscious as it was starting to get light outside but I kept still and kept my eyes closed. I tried the rope technique while repeating in my head ‘I am out of body’ but that didn’t work so I moved on to the roll over technique instead.
This worked and it’s my favourite one because the exiting is so vivid and you feel your lightness leaving your heavy dense body. When I’m completely out I slowly push myself up so I’m sitting on the bed then a second later I find myself standing at the bottom of my bed trying to find my bearings. As I turn to face my bedroom door I notice a young lady in white with dark bobbed hair sitting on my bed very still with her hands on her knees but at that moment I don’t take much notice of her as I thought she was me in those brief moments that she was in my peripheral vision. The reason I came to this conclusion at that time was because the very first astral projection experience I had was similar to this one where I rolled out and found myself in the exact same place at the bottom of my bed.
My first experience I had then asked to see my reflection and immediately saw my reflection in my door. However looking back at this new experience, the lady didn’t look like me and I was standing while she was sitting. So after I turned to head to the door I opened it and the hallway was dark and I couldn’t see a thing. The darkness caused me to feel a little apprehensive and as soon as I have this feeling I then hear a voice from the hall say ‘Welcome Hannah’. I instantly felt rattled and asked to go to Nirvana where I felt a rush of movement like I get when I go through the tunnel but before I could go anywhere I was then back in my body.
So even though the voice scared me I didn’t actually see anything scary. In the book Adventures Beyond The Body it mentions that you will face challenges and you may face some things that appear scary however if you investigate it, then it maybe a valuable lesson for you or a potential experience that you would ultimately be grateful for. For example, William Buhlman describes someone’s experience of seeing a dark figure when they had this one particular OBE and rather than getting out of that situation, e.g. going back into your body or requesting to go to another place, they faced it and the shadowy figure turned out to be this persons deceased son. Another example is William Buhlman himself said of his own experience that he found himself looking down these dark stairs and seeing a shadowy figure which after a few seconds turned out to be some animal like creature. He was so scared but he did not move and when the creature reached him it wrapped their arms around him and licked his face. He said that he felt that he had stepped up in his journey which then allowed him to go on to further and more profound aspects of the astral projection experience.
The lady I saw looked like the same lady in my other experience at the hospital. I believe that she is one of my spirit guides. Why do I think that? Well, I set an intention beforehand pretty much every time I have wanted to astral project to meet my guides. Plus after talking with some people on the AP Facebook group I have been informed, that most of the time, spirit guides show up in white. I’m annoyed that I missed that opportunity to talk with her. I have so many questions! Maybe I’'ll get another chance to speak to her now I know that she is my guide.
Moving From a Dream to Astral Projection
My blog about my creative and spiritual journey through art and Astral Projection.
So this method of achieving astral projection was new to me as I got there via a dream unintentionally. So I set my alarm for 12.45am after going to bed at 9pm and I am dreaming. I begin to notice while dreaming that I can sense the ‘electricity’ feeling in my physical body. This makes me become more aware and I know what I have to do. So I begin to manipulate that energy. I pull the energy to the top of my head and mentally ‘squeeze’ it which causes me to rush through this light tunnel/portal that I often go through before I experience an OBE. The only difference now is the portal is white and no longer has a green/blue tinge to it. While travelling through the tunnel I am aware that I am astral projection and I am anticipating what I am going to experience this time. I can’t see much apart from movement and white light. Seconds later I find myself gazing up at a ceiling and appears I am travelling through corridors in a fluid movement.
Then some people come into focus at my side who are looking down at me. I sense that I am in a hospital and these are doctors because they are in white and they seem concerned while I am being rushed through the corridors. I have a man in a white gown at my feet and a lady with dark bobbed hair to my right and I think to myself that I need to get the lady’s attention to let her know that I’m ok and there is no need to worry. So I look at her intently and I smile. She then looks at me and returns a warm friendly smile.
Now after this experience I have stopped watching anything negative or scary the night before I intend to have an OBE because on this plane it is VERY sensitive to thought. So saying this, I vaguely remember feeling a bit apprehensive at one point then automatically I find myself being grabbed by two odd looking mischievous characters who appear to my left. They march me down the corridor while holding onto me. I am not scared by this but more annoyed that I can’t investigate this experience more and find out who those people were.
I am mainly focused on doing some proper exploring which I have wanted to do from day one so I try flinging my ‘arms’ about to shake these two off me but movement is still a bit tricky for me and my ‘arms’ feel heavy. I feel that my apprehension/nervousness affected what I saw. Again it doesn’t appear that I have a body and I am just a point of consciousness. Moments later I get placed into a dark room and I hear the door slam shut and the turning of a key. But as soon as I find myself in this room I remember that it is possible to move through walls and doors etc. So that’s what I do but as soon as I walk through the door I am back in my body.
Moving forwards I will not watch anything negative on tv before I attempt an OBE as this seems to interfere with my experience. I want to have a clear mind and be full of positivity because your mind frame will spill over to this place.
Two Incomplete OBEs
I’m practicing with my prana energy and it is allowing me to exit my physical body and travel on the astral plane.
The night before I didn’t set as much intention as I normally do and I now recognise that it crucial to have an OBE. The intention is letting your subconscious know what you are wanting to achieve so repeating it over in your mind before sleep or writing it down will solidify the plan of action . Due to the lack of intention I put out there beforehand I kept forgetting to perform my normal techniques whenever I came out of sleep and it’s vital to do them in the first few seconds of coming out of sleep. I will write up my techniques in another blog. When I did remember what I should be doing those vital early seconds were long past. So I went with using my prana energy as described in my previous blog instead. I focused my energy from my toes to the top of my head and held it there while mentally squeezing it to the crown of my head.
I didn’t need to repeat this action because I immediately felt that I was lifted up vertically and then catapulted forwards in a blur. I couldn’t make out anything around me but I was aware that I was out of my body because I had that ‘knowing’ sensation that I am now familiar with. I didn’t feel the actual exit this time, however after reading many peoples experiences the exit isn’t always felt. The other determinate factor of how I knew I was out of my body is that I seem to go through a tunnel or portal at very high speed. the tunnel feels like it’s full of motion or energy which whizzes past me in a blur. Everything around me has a green/blue haze to it which is what I experience every time I have had an OBE.. Also the environment just has this different energy to it. It makes me a little nervous when I first enter this ‘place’ but I am not as scared as I was the first time. I think it doesn’t help that I cannot see clearly when I’m there. Apparently your vision does become crystal clear when you’ve experienced a few OBEs but this is my third time so it’s still very early days for me. Now I cannot make out any objects or any indicators of where I may be but oddly I can feel my eye mask still on my physical face. So I automatically go to take it off in the hopes that I can see better. The number one rule when you’re out of body is that if you think of the physical body you immediately get pinged back which was what happened to me.
Annoyed with myself I tried focusing on my energy again and a few moments later I feel my light energy/astral body inside me but I couldn’t seem to get it out this time and then seconds later that feeling went.
So moving forwards I have decided that the intention is crucial. You just need to prepare your subconscious on what you want to do so I will go back to writing out my plan and repeat them in my mind before I drift to sleep. Lastly, I need to remember to not think of my physical body.
One night this week I had played around with my inner energy…moving it around like a wave for about 30 minutes before I went to sleep and I woke up at some point in the night with my ears ringing and the energy was moving itself up and down my body without my mental direction. I then felt my consciousness move inwards as though it was going to go deep within me. I wish I could describe the feeling better but I was very drowsy and it was my subconscious trying to take me there. I was not fully awake at this point but the feeling was not familiar to me and I felt panic and before anything could actually happen that pulling sensation to go deeper then stopped. I just need to surrender to whatever my consciousness wants to show me.
