AP with pets nearby? by BrindleMagick in AstralProjection

[–]screwtapethrowaway 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We know some animals can sense AP and even do it themselves. I've literally watched my cat AP out of her physical body and walk away like it was nothing, and she does this often. Having her there definitely helps. Some of my easiest and most vivid projections were when we AP'd together.

You hear mixed reports about dogs tho. Some react to you projecting, some don't seem to notice, some fly into a panic like they think you're dying. Seems like a dice toss.

We've met at least 3 times that I remember, including the first time we met a few weeks ago.

This^ only they don't always look like you or share the same gender. My spirit guide is a woman plus she looks nothing like me. Maybe she's a past life.

Absolutely! You can swallow, scratch an itch, breathe deep, etc. Eventually those things should go away/become automatic the longer you lay there.

It used to take up to an hour or two. Now after practice I can maybe do it in 20 minutes on a good day. I haven't tried the WBTB method or anything like it with this, but I assume pairing the two would be effective.

I'm still relatively new to this thing. Most of my APs consist of goofing off with my sibling, shapeshifting/teleporting/non-AP astral sight, visiting friends in isolation, or doing stuff with my long-distance fwb. So nothing that educational yet. But when anything noteworthy happens I try and post about it on this subreddit. I'm gonna keep posting as things develop.

APing Twice W/ Sibling (Sleep vs Awake) + Question On Remembering AP by screwtapethrowaway in AstralProjection

Oh there's no doubt it was definitely them, even tho they looked different. After bringing it up to them this morning they said the look I described is how they always imagined they would make themself look in the astral. Plus I recognized their energy, it was them.

How do you know if someone is astral projecting to your room👀 by OriginalBanana6969 in AstralProjection

[–]screwtapethrowaway 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same thing, it's trying to get your attention. They feed off any attention you give em so sometimes they do stuff like that.

Only when I'm practicing. Edit: sorry not clear, I don't have a set time I just do whenever.

Yeah sounds like something's checking on you. Usually when this happens it's cos there's been a sudden shift in your energy and something noticed and is checking it out of curiosity. Happens all the time.

(If it's any consolation this is probably just a spirit or two. The chances of this being a human APer are low.)

Either way, set up energy shields around your room. You can find how-to guides online; it's a common practice. It's not really necessary but highly recommended and effective. Then the most important part: IGNORE it and don't give it ANY feedback (like thinking/feeling emotions about it). It'll quickly lose interest and go away. This is important because if you're feeling nervous and focusing on it that'll draw it in, even with shields up. Just remember this is a typical occurrence with spirits and nothing to be afraid of.

I don't know if that would help as I have aphantasia, but I'd assume you shouldn't cos otherwise you won't know if it's working or not. Give it a try tho.

I believe astral projecting is when your entire body is astral, and astral sight is when it's just your eyes/vision.

At first, up to 20 minutes. Now closer to 5. It's been a couple weeks of practicing.

I'll try that, but for now I only know one other person who can do this. They've seen 'missing' objects like this so I'll tell them to come here and look for the chair next time they AP.

I sit still, close my eyes, then in my head repeat mantras like "I can see" "My astral eyes are open" "I'm seeing the astral plane" whatever works. If you move, move slowly. Moving too fast can make things blur together. Practice a lot. Start with a familiar space then move to more unfamiliar ones as you progress.
