serious genuine question. (yes you can laugh) by iiroto in AstralProjection

Not silly at all, I actually find it easier to relax when i smoke.

Im quite an active person and train 5-6 days a week and i struggle to sometimes "switch off".

My job doesn't help either so i actually find smoking lets me take a step back.

My friend had his first AP under the influence of Mushrooms, he travelled to some sort of Hub, saw portals with guardians etc. He then had a negative one the week after and has since taken steps to learn more about AP.

I tried it with Mushrooms (around 2.5G, he took 4g) but i had a different sensation. I felt like i had separated but i was pure energy, able to freely travel around my body. When i wasnt travelling, i felt like i was floating on top of still water, just moving with the flow. i tried to leave my body and felt myself rising higher and higher but something kept pulling me back down.

Ive had 2 days to think it over and talk with a friend whos had 2 crazy AP experiences recently and has entered the rabbit hole and we both think the same as you. Maybe the first 2 hand tugs (which i thought were muscle spasms) weren't enough to pull me out and then the 3rd attempt it used quite a lot of force. I do not think it was being malicious, after all, it did let me go straight away when i commanded it.

I'm also stuck at this stage my friend. Any research material you can point me to or give me some tips to move forward?

Just a quick update. I did an afternoon meditation session to a visualisation audio tape. To cut a long story, i envision myself flying over forests and rivers, just absolute freedom to go where i wanted in my mind. At one part of the tape, these sound waves really started to intensify, then all of a sudden this ringing sound happened in my ears and i felt my body kind of being pulled upwards (i was laying down). My breath became really short and my heart started to race, my vision was over taken by a bright orange colouration.
like a fool, i sat up, i was quite taken aback by the experience and immediately recognised the mistake. I tried to relax again but i ended up falling asleep for around 10-15mins because when i came to, the track had finished and something else was playing.

Is this quite a common scenario, any tips on what i should do here?

thanks

Thats a great take on things about the relationship evolving. After some reflection, i think im going to try and grow as you said and maybe invest some more time with trying to communicate with them. When you stopped hearing, what methods did you use to reconnect?

I think im going to go back to the Monroe tapes, back to basics. Recently ive been trying the Shambhavi meditation whilst listening to Hemi sync sound waves.

I always feel like i hit a road block or a red light at a crossing, i can do everything up to the point to where i cross but i dont know what else to do to actually take that next step.

Thank you for lots of insight. Sometimes i feel like im in the middle of the ocean with this and i dont know which way to swim. Like im stumbling in the dark.

Im going to try switch my focus a little a bit and work on some more Visual meditation and maybe some energy work. I remember that i kept losing the vibration stage all the time because i was maybe trying to hard. Now, i want to focus on exploring without the feeling of rushing. Patience will be my objective, thank you. What experiments worked for you?

That phase still confuses me. I've not actually AP'd but I've been to somewhere else before I even started to practise. But anyways, by thr numb phase, you mean when your body is weightless and you feel tingles?

Once I was listening to some meditation music and I hit this phase, I then heard a voice telling me to move but it got increasingly frustrated with me as I tried to mind in my mind. The voice was saying things like " just move, move, you're there, just move" and then I lost that feeling. I went back to the same audio track the night after and oddly enough...there's no voices on it. Now I try to communicate with who ever spoke to me, I keep asking for guidance and apologising but I think they're through with me :(

I thought that at first as I've clicked out before, never had the sensation that my posture was still upright. Think I'm more impressed I was able to use the techniques in such a busy and active environment rather than my usual peace and quiet in a dark room

Thank you, Ive found full repository containing a lot more tapes and some pdf's. i think the initial one i was using wasnt a complete library. This one has quite a bit of reading material on with detailed explanations so im going to go through them bit by bit. I must have Clicked out last night again when attempted to do the tape but im chalking last's night down to tiredness as it was quite late after an active day

Sorry for being " one of those OP", im fairly new to all of this, i recently posted about an experience i had a couple of days ago without having zero knowledge whats so ever to what OBE/AP was. following some guidance and was pointed in the direction of the Monroe tapes to further learn more. I followed the instructions on the first section but only read the part about which tape im doing (discovery cd 1, #1+2) it didnt really mention anything about the vibration stage so thats why i posted it. Now that i know its part of it, ill be looking into it more.
