Last night I attempted astral projection for the first time. I started by just laying there, hands on my stomach under
my blanket with the fan on. My desktop computer was on and I could also hear that. At first I thought in my head
"iiiiiin, ooouuut" with my breathing pattern.
After about 4 minutes, my body started to feel a little bit as though it was sinking in, like lead, but that was only
a little bit. Then after about 7 minutes My fands started to go sort of like pins and needles, but also like a bit
numb. Then a bit after that, my eyelids and eyes started to sort of vibrate and wobble. At about 8 minutes, my vision
seemed to expand greatly and like I could see all around me, but I had my eyes closed the whole time. All this time,
thoughts kept coming to my head. This is what they were like: I could see myself from an angle other than first
person, like I was looking from at the ceiling. Then I would see first my torso rise up but my feet got stuck. Then I
pulled my feet free and I was able to move (I was doing this conciously), but then I knew that was just a thought and
it wasn't my goal of astral projection. I don't know how I knew this. Then my vision would go back to first person with me
as I was, just laying there with my eyes closed. After about 11-12 minutes I started to give up and my brain started
to enter a sleepy state, but then I would realise I was doing this and my brain would come back out of it. It repeated
this about 2-3 times. Then since I had sort of given up, lots of different thoughts came to my head and I was just
thinking about stuff. Before then, I had been trying to ignore thoughts and just keep my mind as blank as possible,
even though every millisecond different thoughts kept coming back and I just had to try and ignore them, even though I
was thinking about my progress into astral projection the whole time (I couldn't help it).
Once I decided to really give up, I thought to myself "wake up", just like I've read you do in astral projection, and my
body sort of jolted and I was back in a normal state. I don't know if my whole body really jolted, but that's what it
felt like.
Oh and while I was lying down, I couldnt help but keep producing saliva and I kept having to swollow it, sometimes
this felt like it was pulling me back.
I really am not too sure what's stopping me. Also I have a couple of questions,
1. When you astral project, are you looking through your own eyes (ie. first person), Or do you see yourself from
another point (eg. third person etc).
2. When you astral project, do you move around and fly with your mind completely and 100%, or do you actually use your
body/limbs as you would normally?
Thanks a lot, I'm quite new to this and it helps me a lot to talk to other people and learn stuff :)
And help you can offer would be greatly appreciated, I'm going to try this again tonight.
