How do you induce YOUR astral projections?!?!?!

[VetTechJess]

I have found it very difficult to purposefully induce an astral projection. they more often than not happen to me in the middle of a nap or when im asleep when i suddenly realize..."hey im in the astral"

another serious problem I have is whenever I am beginning the astral projection, I cannot, for the life of me no matter how hard I try, strength wise or willing myself, I cannot seem to disconnect from my physical body so I can begin my Astral Travels. It seems like I am cemented in the physical body when I can see thru my astral eyes.

ANY TIPS??? ERIN SPECIFICALLY?? I sure would like to know how you induce astral projections by bringing on the tingling sensation (i.e how you do it, what thoughts you think to induce it, how long it takes, etc...) after reading your post on how you dealt with the astral vampire....

It would have to be trance. I know that this is an unconventional approach to astral projection.

Most would say: "lie still, be calm, forget about your body...etc..."

I sit cross-legged on the floor in my dark meditation room. I connect with energy roots to the Earth.

I go inside myself and begin rocking gently.

Sometimes just the gentle rocking is enough and I'm connected to spirit, flying high.

Sometimes I begin humming, raising my vibration through sound.

At times the rocking can get quite forceful, welling passion up from my root chakra, through the heart chakra and out the top of my head.

Those are usually the most insightful "voyages."

But, hey, that's just me.

Happy Travels!

The first several times I astral projected it was not at all conscious. It was like all the molecules in my body sped up. I felt this tingling, electric, magnetic feeling, like imagine if a magnet was pulling your soul out of your body. It was horrible because at the time it was unwanted.

Once I got used to the sensation, I was able to allow it to come into me when I wanted. What usually happened was that I woke up in the wee morning hours, but was still in a very alpha state, and I would open and allow the tingling electrical feeling to come over me. Once it was all inside me, I knew I was separated and I would pull away from my shell. Once I disconnected, I would fly off and do whatever.

I don't astral project much these days. I'm too tired and it seems so unnecessary. But occasionally I'll pop out for some fun or to check on my kids down the hall. And occasionally there comes something a'knockin that needs to be dealt with.

I wouldn't know how to induce this today if I was just starting out. It happened to me unwillingly first, then I recognized the sensation, so I was able to call it into me. Does that make sense?

My experience is similar, only it happens just before I fall asleep. A good time is when I've been asleep, wake up briefly and start to drift off again.
Just as those strange, out of control thoughts start to appear, I mentally start to rock my head from side to side, which loosens my astral body. As I start to feel that I am leaving my head, I mentally start to get out of bed, again using a rocking motion. If I am still in my body, my body may start to follow and I have fallen out of bed once or twice! Once, I am out of bed, I suddenly feel incredibly light and joyful and start bouncing merrily around the room!
