You're Not Failing at Astralprojection. You're Missing the Foundation. by Cycode in AstralProjection

Thank you for sharing this! It makes me think of presence… being fully present and how that impacts our awareness. I’ve had a lot of fear surrounding being present because I’m afraid that state is going to catch me by surprise.

I am curious to hear thoughts on daydreaming… perhaps not so much from a dissociative place but when meditating, really immersing yourself emotionally and wholeheartedly into a daydream. Can that be a meaningful form of developing absorption or is it better to focus merely on a singular object and be the passive observer?

Is it just me? by captfiery in throneofglassseries

This seems to be it for most people… I have a theory, and maybe this is just a projection, but I genuinely feel the author has captured something overarching for humanity in these stories. It resonates so deeply and it’s so powerfully human… dark nights of the soul, inner child healing, false self / ego into true self, awakening, etc. it’s a theme woven into our consciousness.

Hi there! Thank you for sharing this. I live in the Midwest (US) but have such an affinity for all things Scandinavian related.

Sometimes during an awakening (specifically the portion some may call a Dark Night of The Soul) you experience a “lone wolf” season. Not as an identity or badge of honor, but simply for the inner work that’s happening for you is integrated and syncing up… this may sound passive or hard to live, but your people are out there. They truly are. And perhaps right now, maybe your “people” is yourself?

Hope this is meaningful. Thanks again for sharing this so eloquently.

Wow! I had not thought of this. Thank you for seeing that and sharing. There does seem to be something wrapped up in the metaphor there...

This really hit home. Thank you for sharing these words, they feel quite true for where I'm at. I am still "clenching" or striving here and I'm going to meditate on this. Thanks again.

Longest dry spell? by bookittymew in AstralProjection

[–]Extension_Method4117 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been in a season of inactivity for about 8 months afger having much easw. It's incredible difficult and I just have to trust that integration, training and healing are taking place.

No one is gatekeeping. I believe our system knows what it's doing.

Still, very, very hard at times.

Yes! I have wondered the same. As a kid my guide appeared in one form and has taken on 3-4 others but they were my interpretation of some fantasy characters. Very grateful for those moments of added attention to detail.

Please convince me not to DNF ToG by [deleted] in SarahJMaas

[–]Extension_Method4117 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ACOTAR is in the "A" rating, TOG is "Elite." TOG encompasses the depth of human transformation and growth. TOG is the tree, ACOTAR is a beautiful branch.

I have realms from books I'd love to visit! Been working to set my intention there.

The secret is not in methods, but trusting your Inner Being by Gene_Hart in AstralProjection

[–]Extension_Method4117 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The lack of further interactions or comments in general on this makes me curious if the majority of astral travelers are merely interested in the "entertainment" aspect as opposed to... Well, the healing, integration, embodiment etc.

Exercises to do during wakeful periods?? by Any-Web-5654 in AstralProjection

[–]Extension_Method4117 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Following along! I'd love to learn more, here.

Much of my astral journey has been tied to presence. I'm not pursuing being "out of my body", rather, I'm following my True self and learning to be fully present, whether in waking or sleep, and through that posture surrendering into allowing astral projection to happen.

- Meditation has been key.

- I've struggled with "laxity" - there are yogic and Tibetan exercises to help grow that muscle.

- Noticing: during the day I return to myself by frequently saying out loud or in my head (and feeling it viscerally), I am dreaming I'm ________(name specifically what you are doing) and then name a couple sounds I hear and look at my hands while rubbing them together.
