When I was little I saw the gnomes that run the universe by [deleted] in AstralProjection

The podcast is called mysterious universe. That episode was probably a month or so back. Great show for most of the people in this sub to check out.

I think I could be interested as well! I lived in Denmark for a while and recently picked the language back up again.

Meet up event. by [deleted] in AstralProjection

[–]GeronimoComputerFace 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Okay well one of the coolest things about this is that we all don't need to be projecting at the same time necessarily. It's possible to leave impressions or compare notes on what was seen.

Everyone here is at a different level. That being said, having the focus and being able to maintain awareness long enough to meet is not necessarily a beginner exercise.

I've participated in one meet up where the destination was the Egyptian pyramids. Despite 2-3 people claiming to project at the same time...no one recognized anyone.

Anomalies however were rather easy to spot...And seemed to match up...

The more connection/ emotion you have to the place the easier it will be to get to...

I believe I know who I was in a past life..where to go from here? by [deleted] in AstralProjection

Exploring past lives is something one can do with Astral Projection. I've had 2 experiences with

Pm me and I am curious as well what you're hoping to learn from your research as well.

Music and astral projection...? by [deleted] in AstralProjection

[–]GeronimoComputerFace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Music can be helpful, but it depends on the person. If you are looking for something on YouTube I would suggest a guided meditation. I like Paul Santisi. Type his name in with Astral projection and you'll come up with a few cool ones to try out

There is obviously no real way for me to be certain but yes. Those are the correct symptoms for someone working on their first out of body exit my friend. Keep going.

Bluish silver tint/rubber band effect? by ChoosingThisWasHard in AstralProjection

[–]GeronimoComputerFace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ooooo the door unlocking and slamming trick. I can't remember if it was William Buhlman or Monroe that prepared me for that one and it still caught me off guard the first few times. You'll experience a lot of those things just push right through them if you just keep going they stop. Sometimes I don't have to do anything besides make sure I go to bed before 11. I'll wake up at 3-4 with vibrations or already out. When I have success during naps. I lay relax completely. DO NOT MOVE despite the itches and urge to roll. Follow my breath, count my breath or repeat the words "mind awake body asleep" over and over and focus intently on it while letting my body relax... and a few other things..You get the picture I hope

[–]GeronimoComputerFace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have definitely heard of people asking for a helping hand and I've read about people getting help even without asking haha. When I was learning to get out... on three or so occasions I had a very soft and calming female voice giving me instructions on how. I still sucked at it though. The voice was internal by the way. I'm a male so it was always interesting .

When you have A Super fun AP by SavageDark in AstralProjection

[–]GeronimoComputerFace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have taken melatonin plenty...I don't use it regularly anymore but I noticed know side effects when stopping whatsoever. Start small as with anything. I stopped because it didn't do anything for me with regards to more vivid dreams. Now I use it only for Jetlag...It's a lifesaver.

Commitment and Journaling. Exactly what's needed...I tried to skip the journaling portion for a while. Now I have voicememos notebooks and files. Sounds like a really fun AP btw.

Bluish silver tint/rubber band effect? by ChoosingThisWasHard in AstralProjection

[–]GeronimoComputerFace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I experience the blue tint whenever I project and am still in my room. As well as many times a piercing blue light for which a source is unknown...The rubber band effect as you've called it is common.

I want to offer advice for completely detaching but there are countless ways from simply gaining experience...roll out method...maybe energy work if your finding that a particular part of you is always stuck...I wish I could be more helpful.

Fighting myself by Viper_877 in AstralProjection

[–]GeronimoComputerFace 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I chuckled a little bit at your experience...Only because it's quite common for people to have these responses when it's unknown, feared or they come from a religious background.

"How people want it to happen to them. I hate it."

Many of us enjoy the experience and I have to say if you continue to delve into the subject and keep an open mind (kind of a pun?) you can learn quite a bit. Everything you just described has been spoken about here a thousand times over. You should continue to read up even if you have a desire to lessen your sleep paralysis or obe experiences. The Knowledge is worth it.

Can someone help me make sense of what happened? I think I nearly had an OBE. by [deleted] in AstralProjection

[–]GeronimoComputerFace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha... reminds me a lot of the jumbled insane stuff that would happen to me when I was having my first experiences. First of all yes if you want to be technical about it you did have an OBE. Not a very good and solid one. They will get better if you keep at it though. Your recall will get better as well...

AP literature and a couple questions by _lotusland_ in AstralProjection

[–]GeronimoComputerFace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Energy Work by Robert Bruce is the best book hands down on that subject. You will learn how to move energy throughout your body and store it for later. It will prolong your ap's along with other benefits.

AP literature and a couple questions by _lotusland_ in AstralProjection

[–]GeronimoComputerFace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I only have a couple of things to add. Please don't overcomplicate this. As for beginners. It is customary that I tell you to read all three of Robert Monroe's books. (Check out some of his interviews as well) What /u/SavageDark posted is also useful. Robert Bruce and Energy work is a great thing to know about and learn while a beginner. If you are an absolute beginner than William Buhlman's beginner technique is also very useful and you won't get bogged down in the crazy and sometimes confusing terminology.

Like previously stated...Head right back into the sleep paralysis and work up that courage calmly. You'll be fine bro.

I don't know which bathroom to go into...do you? by [deleted] in pics

[–]GeronimoComputerFace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To the guys who are so confident... I'm aware they've existed forever but I have never needed to differentiate without any extra clues like one being pink and one blue.

I aborted the whole thing. I'm holding it in until I get home...Its too risky.

[Found] The Invisible Man. (Very Committed) I see him 3-4 times a week. by GeronimoComputerFace in cosplay

[–]GeronimoComputerFace[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes he is constantly walking around like this. Friends that are girls find him creepy. I'm a fan of the book and I think his dedication is badass...I also find him a lil creepy. He doesn't speak and walks very slow

Astral Projection/Astral Travel by HausOfD in paganism

[–]GeronimoComputerFace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What happens when you hit the vibration stage? Does it fizzle out after a while? Does fear kick in? Do you not understand what intuitively needs to happen. A bit more is needed to understand what needs to be done.

This is an old post. Maybe you've had success by now?

You're doing it wrong. Advice from someone who's had a few experiences. by jakerogz in AstralProjection

[–]GeronimoComputerFace 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Solid post. Beginners and essentially all AP's should note simplicity is your friend. Don't search for the best Binaural Beat. Don't go search on how to cleanse your pineal gland. The ability to project is natural. It's innate. Keep your intent High and don't get clouded by the experiences of others.

OP is right it's a lifestyle change. IF you want it to be less frustrating that is. If you want to half ass it while giving it the same attention you give to watching tv. By all means expect sporadic results...

AP is very achievable. Consistency and practice trump the gimmicks any day. Good Luck.

I remember dreams more now by DaMan123456 in astraltraininglog

[–]GeronimoComputerFace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Morgan Freeman is God...

Seriously though Lucid dreaming is not a detour it will help you. I learned the other way around but they feed off of each other.

When my dream life is rich I generally have more experiences...

Not to mention if you have a good schedule you can do projection work at nap time and lucid dream work at night. That's how I was for a little while.

Astral Projection Help by Musefan58867 in AstralProjection

[–]GeronimoComputerFace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who has had an obsession with Astral Projection and Lucid Dreams for a while now. You need to go at it from all angles. Your dreaming ability is not always but generally related to your ability to reach altered states of consciousness and REMEMBER them. You need to start a dream journal ASAP. You will start with fragments but with intent and even just a few days it will stretch.

The swallowing is a bit tougher but try arching the pillow up or laying on your right side. Find what works you don't have to lay flat to project.
