Almost Astrally Projected (First 2 Attempts)

[bsod]

I've never astrally projected ever in my life, nor have I been actively training my ability to, so I am pleasantly surprised by my two near-successful attempts.

The first was a week ago, and it was accidental. I would call it my first time, but it was very brief and I didn't exactly leave my body. It was about 9:30 in the morning, I was half awake trying to fall back asleep and I could feel the paralysis kicking in so I didn't feel my arms on me or girlfriend. My eyes were closed but then I realized despite them being closed, I could see our the room in incredible detail beyond what could be generated via my imagination, and I wasn't seeing it through the sensory colour spectrum, sort of an "astral vision". I knew my eyes were closed because the vision I was viewing everything in was not the visible light spectrum, because at the same time I could switch to my eye vision and it would just be the blackness of my eyelids. But then I jolted back into my body and woke up with a very panicked heart rate and that was it. I didn't leave my body, simply viewed everything from the same perspective I was laying, but with my eyes closed.

My second experience was last night, it lasted very briefly, perhaps only 7 seconds. I was in a somewhat meditative state, half asleep and very delirious. I was in a hypnagogic state and felt like I was floating around in the bed, swinging side to side. As I was dozing off, I began feeling a very strong vibration near my heart chakra, and I felt the paralysis kicking in. There was a small gust of wind outside my open window and all of a sudden it sounded deafingly loud, like a raging storm with lightning striking outside of my window. Then for a brief split second, a blink, I saw a glimpse of the room, through the same "astral vision" as I described before, it sort of looked like an xray, again I knew my eyes were closed. I was extremely scared and frightened and I tried to say something to my girlfriend (who was awake during all of this on her phone), but all I could produce was a faint murmur, not even being able to scream, all of a sudden I jolted right back into my body with an extremely high panicked heart rate and just said "Oh fuck!". From me feeling the vibration until I jolted back into my body, the whole event lasted a mere 7 seconds. After I jolted back into my body I heard the same gust of wind outside, but it was not a storm, it was just a calm gust but the hallucination was super intense.

I don't think this was astral projection, but I believe I was on the right path, I just pussied out both times. It seems like I was on the verge of pushing my atman out of my avatar, but on the last step I gave up. The best analogy I could give is if you were pushing a boulder up a hill and you ran out of strength at the top, or you if you were deadlifting and dropped the barbell a few reps away from your goal. I swear I was so fucking close to doing it... Am I getting close? I would like someone to confirm my experiences or read something similar happening to someone else. Thanks.

Hey there,

I've read your post and I want to say that you are definitely getting close to really astral projecting! I've had pretty much the same experiences as you, but what's important is that you keep track of what you experience and keep trying. That's how I did it. I wrote down my experiences and progress and I kept trying and meditating and eventually I could fully astral project.

It takes time but nothing comes for free

I applaud you in your journey and I really hope you continue your progress.

Yes this is on par with reality. In time you'll adapt and enjoy this. The simple idea is to be in a somewhat control (by immersion and ease of emotions/ directions of thoughts) and in continuation to achieve a better conscious grip on this and the other part that is energetic is one of density, power and volume. To depart you need just the right density of energy and intensity. About the volume, it is like in terms of being generated, as you can only go as far as the energy is running out, like a fuel.

But as of now you have experienced all of this inside.

About the seeing with your eyes closed, absolutely yes. Just with ease see it and be relaxed. By ease but focused in a non forcefully manner, the vision becomes more and more complete.

In the same fashion you can direct your vision and see other things, not only outside of your point of natural view.

The heart and the 6th do have those kind of explosive manifestations. Be relaxed and learn to enjoy this. This comes in a wave and if you are meditative and interested you can activate this by focus. You can also reach to apogee of the manifestation by letting yourself be carried with it. In plain terms surrender and witness.
