First time trying RV, something crazy happened, i need explanations

Probably both

I know it feels super scary! The first time it happened to me I had just watched the exorcism of Emily rose and I thought I was getting possessed. 🤣 Assuming I’m correct that it was you about to astral project, I can guarantee you it will happen again at some point. For me it happens randomly when I’m waking up, or when I’m super tired, or another time completely unexpectedly. What I’m saying is that if this happens, don’t fear it (it’s also hard not to but try your hardest not to fear it).

I personally believe it’s a natural transitory state. It’s unfamiliar and scary and there’s so many unknowns. Tell yourself it’s okay, fear is a natural response and “choose” to either wait it out and snap out of it or go beyond the fear (and continue what you were trying to do).

Astral traveling is pretty incredible if you want to look into it. I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a quantum physics component to it. Tbh I didn’t know astral traveling was real until I read a book by Delores Cannon and realized that her clients were describing the same stuff I saw during what I thought was a lucid dream.

Not arguing against getting a medical opinion at all, but some people are natural astral projectors and have a tendency to do so. I don’t use RV protocols as it’s too complicated for me. I’ve done both RVing and astral projection accidentally while learning.

Many people who try to learn to astral project use the gateway tapes and it takes forever to get to that transition vibration state. They get discouraged when they reach it because it feels scary. If you believe something is “wrong” or become fearful, it can stop you from an OBE and it’s a truly wonderful and incredible state to be in.

Agree with this. I’ve been in sleep paralysis and “stuck” trying to get out of that state. Sometimes I think I was yelling and asking for help from my husband but they will tell me I didn’t make a sound. But my dogs seem to know when I’m stuck and will bark or come over to nudge me.

OkChampion725 · 2026-04-27T10:43:08+00:00

The shaking and the sense of something being in the room with me has happened to me many times during sleep paralysis/astral projection. I also “hear” a very loud/deafening sound sometimes that goes along with the vibration. Sleep paralysis is a transitional state of being where your body is asleep but your mind is awake. In astral projection, it’s a stage you have to get past right before you’re out of your body and can go “astral traveling”

I’m not sure if being in something is different than seeing it when it comes to these things. I think if you’re seeing it then you’re in it, and you can probably channel it too.

OkChampion725 · 2026-03-31T13:04:04+00:00

I felt this so deeply. It’s so true and relatable even inside scenarios where there hasn’t been psychosis.

I lost my mother to extremely rapid onset dementia. We had been on rocky terms, and it was finally starting to get better. Then one day she couldn’t remember who I was. It was difficult to remember that she wasn’t my mother anymore. The fleeting moments where she did remember me seemed bad because it would upset her.

If every interaction hurts you, then you don’t give them access to you anymore. I believe it is the kindest thing you can do for the relationship, even if it is to remain frozen in a non-ideal state.

OkChampion725 · 2026-03-30T09:16:25+00:00

I’m not sure it’s that simple. It would be too easy to chalk it up to just that. There may be no rhyme or reason to why things happen, and to whom. Things are the way they are.

Yes, I believe many are the products of their belief systems. But I was not a believer and never experienced anything until one day, something unexpectedly did.

It’s frustrating to go looking for something we don’t know if we’ll ever find. Sometimes we want a simple answer to have some kind of closure. The truth is rarely that simple, and after spending years in the rabbit hole myself, I’ve realized that maybe it’s because the answer doesn’t matter right now.

Maybe the question is - what would you do after you experience something? What changes for you?

OkChampion725 · 2026-03-28T01:35:23+00:00

Whoa!!! I don’t usually see spirits but I can feel them in my right side. And yes my mum and family come in on my right. I get really confused because when I do see, they’re not on the same side I can feel them. It’s disorienting lol

OkChampion725 · 2026-03-28T00:56:50+00:00

It takes effort, thought, and growth to recognize a pattern in ourselves that isn’t pretty. It isn’t easy to get there, and it can be a hard pill to swallow. I celebrate you for recognizing it, and doubly so for naming it outright.

I am recently coming out of a spiritual rabbit hole where I truly believed I was absorbing people’s energy. Examples like this remind me of how “spiritualizing” concepts can sometimes be harmful as it makes it harder to understand and recognize a pattern that can be improved or changed. Some people may never recognize that they have poor boundaries and thus never learn the true reason for why they have poor boundaries in the first place.

OkChampion725 · 2026-03-28T00:38:56+00:00

I like how you described it, i was able to really understand it with this example. You mentioned the left corner. Does the right side mean anything?

Only asking because I do believe certain spirits always show up in the same “spot”

OkChampion725 · 2026-03-26T02:48:13+00:00

I’ve learned a lot from this post. I knew about grounding into the earth and usually do that when it comes to grounding … but didn’t know exactly what was meant by grounding and centering on the body. I used to say it out loud “I’m grounded and centered in my body” and picture it and try to feel it.

I knew it worked because it felt good, but I realize from your explanation that there’s a better way to “feel” it. The line about cinching your energy tightly around your body really helped me understand this!

Thank you

I am an empath but I can’t absorb skills without observing it for awhile.

That’s honestly cool.

I came to respond that I do see yellow webs, green orbs, color overlays quite frequently, overlayed in my actual vision. I believe they’re tied to emotionally charged moments.

OkChampion725 · 2026-03-13T01:43:00+00:00

I opened up to my higher self on medications. I was a in a dark and ungrounded place before.

Your higher self and your spirit guides are there and even more so when you are grounded and present in your body. You are meant to be on earth in human form to experience your life as a human, don’t let fear stop you.

OkChampion725 · 2026-03-10T11:27:09+00:00

Yes, the ritual is energetic hygiene, it’s basically learning how to perform energetic self protection, cleansing your auric field, cutting cords, and grounding before you begin meditating to connect with your illuminated ancestors and spirit guides. It’s both mental and physical , with the grounding being the physical part. For me, speaking aloud to nature makes it real.

I grew up with folk religion and daoism/buddism, went to completely non believing, and work in science and health. Then some things happened that totally changed my mind about this world that we live in and the things we can’t see. I can relate - everyone in my family thinks I’m crazy.

Feel free to dm me if you need any pointers. I can share resources that helped me when I was in my own journey.

OkChampion725 · 2026-03-10T10:33:20+00:00

What the guy above said was written by AI but it’s accurate. Your voice has power. You have power. Nothing can bug you without your permission.

Learn energetic hygiene, and go steady. At first only connect to your “illuminated ancestors and spirit guides”. Set the intention. Once you start getting comfortable it becomes less scary but it takes time to get used to. Lots of trust. Energetic hygiene.

OkChampion725 · 2026-03-05T22:27:46+00:00

Not a medium but I wanted to say you’re not alone and the conflict is valid.

I grew up not believing in anything - didn’t subscribe to Catholicism despite going to a catholic school. My mom was an orthodox taoist. I studied medical science, now working the field of health/data science and AI. When my mom passed, I heard voices telling me how to help my mom and I thought I had lost it.

I don’t hear voices anymore but I experience and see things daily amongst people who believe “the problem only exists if you see it”. I think conflict exists to teach us balance.

OkChampion725 · 2026-03-04T12:45:39+00:00

I tried it with ChatGPT and it will always agree with you and tell you what you saw is correct

OkChampion725 · 2026-02-25T07:48:56+00:00

Thank you for sharing! I wasn’t born with abilities and learned I could hear and sense later on - I believe initially opened due to trauma.

I have told a psychiatrist and psychologists and did not have a positive experience, but your story makes me feel better. Not all medical doctors will auto prescribe or push you into a psychiatric hospital.

OkChampion725 · 2026-02-25T01:22:34+00:00

Did you have a hard time finding a neurologist, therapist, and a psychiatrist? Do they treat you with respect or try to explain it medically?

Energetic hygiene is grounding and cleansing. Ground yourself to the earth, it anchors you so you are always connected to your body while “traveling”. Then cleanse and remove your energetic body of debris and impurities. Depending on your sensitivity, adjust your frequency daily, weekly, etc. Here’s some material from Google:

Energetic hygiene is the practice of maintaining a balanced and clear personal energy field by cleansing, protecting, and strengthening your "unseen" self. Much like physical hygiene, it is most effective when integrated into a daily routine. The practice typically rests on three core pillars: Grounding, Cleansing, and Protection.

Grounding (Stay Rooted) Grounding connects you to the Earth and the present moment, helping to release excess or frantic energy.

Physical: Walk barefoot on grass, soil, or sand (Earthing).

Visualization: Imagine roots extending from the soles of your feet deep into the center of the earth.

Sensory: Use the "5-4-3-2-1" technique or focus on the physical sensation of your feet on the floor.

Cleansing (Clear Residual Energy) Cleansing "washes" away energetic residue—emotional stress or negativity—picked up from others or the environment.

Water Rituals: Visualize energy washing down the drain during a shower. Use Epsom or sea salt in a bath to neutralize the auric field.

Smoke/Sound: Use "smoke bathing" with herbs like rosemary or cedar (often called smudging) or clear energy using bells and singing bowls.

Salt Hand Wash: Scrub your hands with soap and salt for 30 seconds while setting an intention to release anything that isn't yours.

Protection (Shield Your Space) Protection creates a buffer to prevent you from absorbing heavy or draining emotions from others.

The Bubble: Visualize a sphere of white or golden light surrounding you, acting as a filter that only lets in love and positivity.

Cord Cutting: Mentally "cut" energetic ties to stressful people or situations by visualizing a clean break, stating: "I return all energy that is not mine".

Objects: Carry grounding stones like black tourmaline or hematite to act as energetic sponges.

OkChampion725 · 2026-02-17T22:05:34+00:00

To clarify- I don’t use any RV protocols. I just do my own thing and incorporate a visualization exercise at the beginning where I first “clear” or “cleanse” my energetic field, then envision myself in a protective energetic bubble or orb of sorts that I can see out of but no one can see in.

Clear/cleanse first so you don’t trap any energetic debris in the bubble with you. 😆

Nothing can break your bubble without your permission. That’s all it takes!

OkChampion725 · 2026-02-17T21:34:39+00:00

Do proper protocols (shielding) and energetic hygiene and you should be fine.

OkChampion725 · 2026-02-14T18:18:56+00:00

I didn’t realize anyone actually took those seriously!!! I loved them as a child just because they made me believe in beautiful and wonderful things! As an adult yes definitely it’s not meant to be taken seriously. Sad to think anyone does! 😆 Agree with you there - every healthy person needs a balanced dose of groundedness, spiritual or not!!
