Astral Projection Experiences
Sometimes the unexpected astral experiences are the most memorable.
Some time ago, I used to have the habit of listening to classical music when I couldn’t fall asleep. I’ve found it calms me down, clearing my mind of excess thinking and lifting the burden of heavy emotions I’d often suffer from (e.g. anger).
A Truly Strange Experience I Cannot Comprehend
When I was about 6 or 7 one night I felt my body rising from my bed. It was a very terrifying sensation. The problem was that I was unable to move my body, my mind was wide-awake and it took a tremendous amount of effort to finally move to prevent this feeling of elevation from continuing.
This persisted about 3 or 4 times over a course of time until one night I just felt too mentally exhausted to try to fight it off so I just let myself go and allowed myself to continue floating up. The next thing that happened was that I found myself flying over green pastures. It felt real and I wasn’t in the least bit scared. I simply accepted it and enjoyed the ride so-to-speak.
But then for no apparent reason something quite dramatic happened, and even at the tender age of 6 or 7 I knew this was no dream, no figment of my imagination, but something very real. I crossed an invisible line and whilst still flying the colors I saw were more vivid than I had experienced in real life, the scenes I saw were more real and dramatic than I had ever encountered before, and the feeling of the wind in my face was real. I knew enough to realize this indeed was really happening and it was truly wonderful.
I never saw any part of my body, just the bluest sky I have ever seen in my life, the greenest landscape, the trees, everything. I didn’t control what or where I went, I just let myself be taken to wherever I was led.
Then, for no apparent reason everything was black. I wasn’t scared; I knew my journey was over. The next thing I recall was a feeling of a downward motion and I was back in bed still fully conscious but unable to move my body for a period of time, and then eventually regained feeling.
The next several times this happened to me was nothing short of amazing. What I saw and the experiences I encountered — I wonder how many others have had similar experiences?
A few Experiences in the Astral Plane
The very first time I astral projected was quite by accident. A few years ago I lived with a bunch of friends in a rented house. It was not very often we were all home at the same time, but on this occasion most everyone was home and together were watching a movie in our living room. I wasn’t in the room because I had decided earlier to take a nap. I wasn’t even aware that anyone was home or together etc. I remember I woke from my nap and walked all the way down stairs (My bedroom was on the 3rd floor) and I came into the room where everyone was watching a movie.
FaRaOn Mantra
I finally did it. I astral projected using this mantra FaRaOn. I have projected with other mantras and techniques, but now I finally have the confidence of FaRaOn working like magic.
I had woken up very early, too early and several hours later and after I gave a stranger some advice on what they needed to work on to astral travel, I decided I needed to take a nap. I went to bed and started to chant FaRaOn. I decided to chant this mantra because it was the last mantra I chanted with a group at the Gnostic center.
Astral projection or simply a case of sleep paralysis
I have been attempting to astral travel for about a year or so with no luck. I’ve felt like I’ve been close a few times but it just doesn’t happen. Up until this past weekend.
My job requires me to be on-call sometimes, so it’s not unusual for me to get called out in the middle of the night. This past Sunday I received one of these calls and I ended up being at work for about an hour and a half or so. By the time I got home it was around 4:30 AM.
First Experiences
Hello,
My first experience was when I was in my late teens or early twenties; I can’t remember the age exactly. I was aware of the concept of astral projection at the time but didn’t know much about it other than some confusing/vague books I had read about it.
My visit to Machu Picchu
This is a story of my struggle to get to the mystical location of Machu Picchu while taking The Gnostic Movement’s online class. A goal was set for a week to try every day to project to this lost city of Incas. We were given the pictures of the location – usually ruins covered in fog, with fresh green grass growing among the stones. I liked the pictures very much, they had something in them that sparked my interest, and so i spent the entire week thinking about it and searching for even more pictures of this mysterious location.
My First Astral Projection
Hi Everybody,
I have begun following the Dream and Astral Projection course from The Gnostic Movement in January, 2010 and in the 2nd week had my 1st astral projection!
I am so excited about it that I want to share it with one and all who are open to the subject.
It was early morning – around 6 am. I was following the course’s of the sessions and trying to remember my dream with the appropriate mantra.
For the Love of Dog, I Astral Projected
I woke up very early, and didn’t want to stay up because I was still so tired, but I remembered that this was the perfect situation to practice astral projection.
My Evidence, So Far
About two months ago I started to investigate OBEs again and found the gnosticweb.com website and enrolled in the Dreams & OBE course. During the course, I had several lucid dreams and one false awakening. It was not until after the course had ended that I had my second OBE. But better late than never! The third OBE happened Oct. 8, 2009. Because the second OBE scared me so much I decided to try something whenever the next one happened. I decided on an experiment.
