Astral Projection

[Bowie]

The astral world is a place believed by many to be where we go when we die. This world can be entered before death through a method known as astral projection. I'm not gonna go into much detail about this world or the method, as there have been many documentations which can tell a lot more about it than I can, but I'm curious as to whether or not anyone in this community has done it before.

I heard it had to do with sleeping and stuff and I was really interested in it. Last night I was watching a movie about frequencies (i dont know the name) and later tried listening to binaural beats for sleeping. I know that the body and the mind are not connected to each other when you are sleeping so they need to figure out how to know if the other one is sleeping or not using these pusles. It put my body to sleep alot but I kept on having these pulses so I just turned it off.

What's the astral world? I've literally never heard of it before.

It's kind of hard to explain, but there are a lot of detailed documentations out there, if you're interested.

Also I was watching the Spirit Science series on youtube and thats how I stumbled upon it

I know about it, but I don't think I've ever done it before. I do know how to dream lucidly, though, and astral projection is supposed to be a lot easier if you know how to do that.

I've read about it before, but memory is kind of fuzzy as to what it entails. I'm pretty sure I've never done it, but it's interesting to read about.

i was always under the impression that when you astral project, it's when your soul leaves you body while you're sleeping. and ventures off to do things and what not in the astral world. usually leaving you with no memories of a dream that night- but you end up waking to the jerking sensation of falling. (which was always deemed to be your soul re-entering your body after it's projection into the astral world.)

in my experiences, every time i'd wake up to the feeling of falling/that jerking sensation- i'd experience D?j? vu shortly after. i always thought of it as a way of saying that i'm on the right track. haha.

Short answer: Yes.

I used to do a lot of astral traveling, and during one of my travels, I believe I went to a Higher Realm. It was only for a moment, but it was an interesting experience. I've never been back there, and haven't done much astral travel lately, but I have done it before.

I've always wanted to try to astral project one day. Do you actually travel into another world, or can you like... Leave your soul and then just go and walk outside and down your street and just do whatever, but you won't make any difference to the world because you're just... Essentially... A soul? I dunno. I'd like to try it, for sure, but I think it would frighten me a bit! I can't even lucid dream... I'm a really heavy sleeper, so it would be hard for me to try it out. I think the most progress I've ever made is that I managed to realise I was in a dream once whilst I was running away from some person in a nightmare. But that was it lol. :') I've seen some videos on it, though, with tips on how to do it... So...

Well, from what I've heard, you can adjust yourself to enter different planes, the first being your current environment. So, yes, you could travel anywhere you like. In fact, I'm planning to visit someone who lives a very long way away the next time I succeed to astral project. A ghost is essentially what you become, so you have the capabilities of a ghost. It apparently takes a lot of energy to do anything, but if you're strong enough, you could make a difference to the world in small ways.

Awesome! I'd love to try it out someday. I'd love to try and see some of my friends I haven't seen in ages through it, or online friends, but my only worry is that it'd come across as creepy. It's only really out of positive intent, though. But yeah, I've wondered about trying to do it for a while now, I just wouldn't want to seem like I'm invading someones privacy by doing it, if I visited people. I think it'd be better to just wander around and see what it's like at first, I guess.

so wait you think you can transform yourself into a ghost and visit people

I too have felt the same way about that theory. I do know that astral projection is claimed to be yourself leaving and entering the real world and/or another realm by being tied to a "cord" othat is connected to your earthly vehical, in that being your body. I have heard many different people talk about their experiences through astral projection and find it very interesting. Since the body is in a calmed state when sleeping, having your heart rate eccedingly low to the point it is merley non-exsistent, you basically enter a type of "meditation" state if you will, in which the body then prepares the soul for leaving That is what only some therosist say though haha.

 

[kikiiii]

this type of stuff is extremely interesting to me, so i really love hearing about all of ya'lls stories with astral projection. though ive never had an OBE to the extent of a projection, i often lucid dream. it happens at least 3 times a week. it took a bit of training but now it just kinda happens guess? and those strange pulses are always what brings me back. im planning to practice astral projections because ive heard that knowing how to lucid dream can make it easier to accomplish.

um i hope your heart doesn't do that when you sleep because you would probably die

 

[DarkOnyx]

So, is it pretty much nearly killing yourself, so you can walk around as a ghost for awhile? .-.

 

[Saylor]

Astral projection is really interesting to me! I've only ever read about it and I'm a bit confused by it all, but the idea fascinates me. I'm not sure what would happen if I did it, but all of the experiences I've heard from others make it seem like it'd be cool, although I'd probably be too scared to actually try it myself.

 

[Bowie]

I know it sounds ridiculous, but if you do some research into it, it'll sound less mad. Trust me, I thought the same the first time I heard about it.

Not exactly. Your astral body (otherwise known as your soul or your spirit) separates from your physical body, allowing you to enter different planes of existence determined by your mental strength and will. You don't actually die, as this separate body is protected by what many describe as a silver cord. It is said that when you die, the cord is severed and you are unable to return to your physical body. I am not too knowledgable of what life is like on the planes, but I have heard stories of houses and cities still in existence.

 

[DarkOnyx]

Wow, I hope in the planes you can meet up with other spirits. If not, that'd be lonely... 0_0
