My First Astral Projection Experience

[@melanieowen9062]

I had a spontaneous astral projection a-few years ago and had been meditating every day to the mantra: “I am not the body, I am not even the mind.” Upon falling asleep during an afternoon I remember gliding up the stairs of our house and passing through the door which was closed into the bedroom. Somehow I knew I wasn’t in my body and that my body was still asleep on the bed. I felt myself rising up and felt divine peace, I wasn’t worried anymore about any of the problems of my worldly life, all these things seemed so trivial compared to the peace of my being. It was the most incredible thing I’ve ever experienced. Then I remembered my husband and started to loose my sense of peace as I felt I should return to him because he needed me and I couldn’t leave him yet. I panicked and remember feeling that if I didn’t get back into my body I might die so tried to fall back into body but this seemed to take forever. I could hear very loud whirring noises vibrating in my ears which scared me as I’d never experienced anything like this before. Eventually the noises faded as I felt somewhat jolted back into my body as I awakened. My body was very cold upon awakening. I’ve never experienced anything quite like this since then, except for the occasional lucid dream. Whatever this experience was, it has helped me hugely in my spiritual development.

[@pisceanDreams00]

Kinda same thing happened to me.

I’ve just been reading about your Astral Projection experience, absolutely fascinating, thanks for sharing. I was wondering if you’ve managed to project again since. All the best - Neil (UK)

[@melanieowen9062]

@@NeilBradleyMS Hi Neil, thanks for taking an interest in the astral projection I experienced. Unfortunately I haven’t had another one since, only a few lucid dreams and I don’t often remember my dreams. I find it difficult to practice the astral projection mantras in between the time of wakefulness and sleep as I’m so tired plus sleep next to my husband and don’t want to wake him. I’m pretty certain though that between wakefulness and sleep is the best time to try astral projection because I’ve had some interesting experiences of a spiritual nature during these times.

[@NeilBradleyMS]

@@melanieowen9062 Hi Melanie, Thanks for coming back to me. It’s a shame you’ve not managed to have one since, but I do understand about it being difficult to practise at night. For me, I’ve always been interested in anything of this nature. But, I always thought nothing ever happens to me, until January this year … I started becoming conscious whilst in the middle of some kind of sleep experience. There would always be a sense of motion (but I could not see), my hearing would be different and I would be aware of like a whooshing sound or something similar to that of the waves of the sea in my ears. But most significantly of all, suddenly it’s like somebody would throw a load of tingles all over my body, from head to toe, very intense. I don’t feel these were the vibrations though that a lot of people talk about. These experiences would continue about every five or six days. Sometimes they would feel like a dream but not all time, as Gene quite rightly says in his videos, they feel very real and I feel exactly as I am now very conscious. There is a distinct difference between a dream and this experience. Unfortunately, I haven’t had one of these experiences for about a month now which saddens me. They seem to have stopped since I have become interested in them and have been attempting to reproduce them myself via a breathing technique and meditation at night. I’ve been attempting to keep my mind awake whilst my body goes to sleep , but as I say, I’ve not been very successful. Well Melanie, apologies for the long comment. I do hope you have another astral projection experience sometime soon, it’s been nice chatting with you. Neil (UK).

[@kamus8691]

Talking to your subconscious while falling asleep really works, it has been my main method of inducing lucid dreams for some time.

[@jjbentley9]

How do you do it just tell you self to have a particular experience while falling asleep

[@StoneyB]

@@jjbentley9 It is bothersome when people do not reply but anyway, I believe that is what they meant. Whatever we think about before we fall asleep has 6 - 8+ beautiful hours to marinate in the subconscious. So yes, try telling yourself while visualizing the sort of experience you would like to have. I have yet to be able to do it myself though I admit, I am a still a bit scared. Haha. I think I am afraid of getting "stuck" in the astral, haha. Anyway - good luck. Try it, what do you have to lose?

[@Growthisinthedirt]

@@StoneyB I'm on a mission to AP. I'm 54 but my 10th grade term paper was on AP. Everything I read then and alot of what I have heard now online said/says we are attached by a silver cord so we don't get detached from our bodies. It may just be a comfort Visual so we don't freak out. But your not going to get stuck out there. Too much went in getting you here... The moon and the stars had to align up just right for you to come to Earth in your body, so detachment isn't easy... Occasionally for some even in death.💕🌌😇

[@arinbae387]

I finally experience my very first AP last night, a quick one and I woke up and after that I felt the vibration again but the second time I think I fell asleep so it turns into a sleep and instead of AP it turns into a dream. Im so thankful to you gene 🙏🏼

Fantastic, well done 👏 🙏

[@isaacu2077]

I feel really homesick listening to this.

[@samson9382]

I definitely needed to hear the last bit of the video. I’ve been trying to replicate my AP experience for the past few days, yielding no results. It’s time to let go of that experience and welcome a new one, naturally.

[@barbarar2216]

We started very similar! thanks for taking the topic and sharing your experience! I remember that same feeling too, about the energy you feel compared to lucid dreams, I knew immediately I wasn't dreaming. And I also remember just being there, taking it all in and waking up in awe. A literal new universe that was so close and I didn't know existed. AND YES, TELLING YOUR LOVED ONES WAS A MISTAKE TOO ASDKJNAS Only dad understood a bit, he had meditated in his youth and gotten OBE by 'mistake' he freaked out and never tried again.

[@michanee]

Nice job of keeping your cool there! I was only floating upwards just 1m, it was so cool also seeing the silver cord linkage.. and I thought I was going to hit the ceiling soon so I tried to turn my head around to see my body, while feeling like a turtle trying to flip around.. end up I got sucked back in 🤣 So really, patience is the key.. not to get too excited to flip until the AP body is done floating upwards..

[@Bormanb23]

Thank you Gene, looking forward to your experiences in the afterlife and encounter with a family member 😎

[@Ficccs]

Thank you for sharing your story! One and a half year ago I had the same experience of the white noise and rumbling in my ears waking up from a nap and feeling my body slowly leaving my body. I got so scared I actually stopped it from happening. Obviously I regret that in retrospect but hopefully I will experience my first time in the near future :)

[@clauaome25]

I have been lucid dreaming since childhood. I didn't know it was a stepping stone for AP.

[@thelyricstranslated]

LOVE YOUR VOICE ❤

[@bipinbisht7827]

How to lucid dream 101 according to experience which happened on accident. 1.Dont sleep one day or wake early to make ur body tired for sleep 2. Eat less at night but eat less heavy food like vegetable dont eat chips like snaks 3. Go to sleep but leave something important to do so ur mind will be alert to make u awake dont set alram , after doing this , ur body will be tired so it won't get up but u will get up and u will be out of the body , try it for fast result.

[@geoff3656]

[@GabrielleCrocker-u9e]

Never realized what astral projection, once I started being more spiritual I started having more lucid and astral projections, from demons to to different people the past etc. Most of the time without trying. I always wanted to know if it was normal.

[@Vshamann336]

Gene, I've been kind of using when people describe their experience with a certain amount of intensity. I've been kind of using that as a gauge to say yes they're really doing these things and not fantasizing. Because I've ran into a lot of people that most likely aren't doing some of the things they think they are. Which I don't want to say that to any of them you know. But pretty much everybody has prescribed a certain amount of intensity to some of these things. I know when my community was awoken all the way that for me it was very intense and I was down for the rest of the day and it felt just like I got done after a very strong acid trip. Leaving you of that feeling of Wonder and like your mind has been rearranged. But I see where it's not often discussed how intense some of these things actually can be, because just to say that it's more real than real doesn't really give you the reality changing intensity and visions and feelings that can come with

[@Vshamann336]

This is also why I think the band tool is one of the best artists at displaying these things like a Kundalini or spiritual Awakening. Because they bring a certain amount of realistic darkness and intensity to how it really is instead of just rainbows and blah blah

[@Vaddmaiar0Forneus]

Great, thank you

[@Vlinders2022]

Hi Gene, I just wanted to share my experience with viewers and I need your advice as well. I have been meditating for a while, but never astral projected but watching of your videos about astral projection i practiced all you explained and I actually ASTRAL PROJECTED thanks so much. My experience: 2 October 2023 I woke up around 3:15am and was still feeling drowsily sleepy,then I turned to sleep on my side started to breathing meditation while laying down my legs started trilling and I felt myself floating gently outside my body and gently float away into wherever I just don’t know 😂I was not afraid at all I was actually enjoying and very curious where I was floating to 😮 I remembered vividly that I was floating thru something that looked Pompei / colossal (very big Castle like) but still intact. I floated from one location to location as an EAGLE seeing everything onder me but surprised me was, as I was floating around from the locations ,sometimes it will seems as if I was going to hit a wall as if it was the end of the location but suddenly I will see an exit to the next location (narrow though)😂but keep on floating around until I came to and open place like a very large open place like a stadium inside this place I was( super adventurous) on my way to the open place peoples BUT one actually caught my attention though because he was STANDING ON HIS HEAD 😳 I knew this wasn’t normal so I looked at him for few seconds I guessed and continued floating until my site seeing was over and gently felt floating back into my body and woke with great excitement… I have since been wondering where was I and what is meaning of the man STANDING UPSIDE DOWN 🙃 can please help me here out. I will soon join to be members of your work. Thank you so for the work you are doing.

i always see colors swirling in my vision when i meditate and even when i just close my eyes regularly or i can even focus on them with my eyes open (to a lesser extent) and they get pretty intense but its so normalized for me that no matter how much i focus on them nothing that crazy happens other than the geometry getting more complex and the colors getting brighter

[@trillahypertrill]

My first astral projection wasn’t that vivid , it was like I was Half conscious in the Astral , how can I improve that ? , also how you you incorporate experience the intense energy and vibration more often .

[@ternolindeman7209]

Weird how less than 10 years ago there were only a few videos of AP but now they are everywhere..

[@Tinyjb0]

Intriguing video, as always, Gene. I will began reading the book you recommended. However, could you please clarify what you meant by "mini-ego-death"? In what way does the aforementioned mini-ego-death differ from a full-blown ego death? Thank you!

[@AstralDoorway]

Good question. I just meant in the sense that, before very projection, the mind completely surrenders and goes unconscious, there is no thought, no analysing, in those moments we are free of ego. Of course the thinking ego usually comes back once you wake up or interrupts a separation. A full-blown ego death would imply a profound and permanent change in one's personality or way of being in everyday life. I'm just talking about that the ego is dormant during in-the-moment of Astral projection, it doesn't have to fully die, but it needs to be pushed away temporarily if we want to successfully leave the body without issues; doubts, questioning, fears etc.

[@Tinyjb0]

@@AstralDoorway Thanks for the response, that clears up a lot! I held the notion that the consciousness must remain 100% unbroken, now I no this is not the case! P.S. if I am being honest, I believe my daily marijuana consumption has been hindering my natural abilities. Though, I have had improvements in dream recall these past few months, the occurrences of AP has not increased. Today is the first day without it so we will see! This hiatus is well past due.

Was so vivid I’ll never forget it. Currently trying to astral but haven’t gone out of body yet, just feelings of vibrations and tinglings 😕 any tips?

[@bellakrinkle9381]

I'm not sure what to call my experience but I flew over lush green fields in Englsnd. I had no sense of my body, yet I was flying. What is this?

[@lennartp186]

Awesome experience! Thanks for sharing! Can you maybe tell something about your diet? I want to know if you diet help you with astral projection

[@AstralDoorway]

I eat meat, processed food and occasional takeouts, I've not noticed any difference in terms of my ability to AP. Of course, the healthier and more "pure" you are the better but just remember, one day you will be old, "unhealthy", weak and close to death, does that mean you should not be able to AP? Absolutely not. Don't form self-limiting beliefs to do with diet, we all AP every night unconsciously regardless of "physicalities". The superior aspect to AP is always to do with one's awareness. One tip though is to not go to sleep on a full stomach, it messes with your physical body's ability to enter a fully rested sleep state. Also, you can try experimenting with wheat; studies have suggested it helps with dreaming and meditation. Wheat has been shown to decrease activity in the frontal lobe of the brain. Here are a couple of articles: www.lemurialight.com/blogs/healthy-yummy-food/2019-1?fbclid=IwAR0iOyX6hAP92Edz6UvqIxv9YFnyy1tqrRrRq6Y-i59FnYmTk9_sfwnwGrM sites.bu.edu/ombs/2014/02/08/the-power-of-meditation/?fbclid=IwAR3LEXNoWV132KvEuHeFU9O6p1MkUfASm3FYzWNt5Legi7I65Rn7mIopK14#:~:text=The%20frontal%20lobe%20is%20considered,tends%20to%20go%20%E2%80%9Coffline%E2%80%9D.&text=Meditation%20reduces%20the%20flow%20of%20incoming%20information%20to%20the%20thalamus ~ "The frontal lobe is considered to be the most highly evolved part of the brain that is responsible for reasoning, planning, emotions, and self-conscious awareness. During meditation, the frontal cortex tends to go “offline”. The parietal lobe processes sensory information about the surrounding world and during meditation, activity in the parietal lobe slows down. The thalamus helps focus your attention by channeling sensory data deeper into your brain and stopping other signals from firing. Meditation reduces the flow of incoming information to the thalamus. The reticular formation receives incoming stimuli and alerts the brain so it is ready to respond. Meditating actually minimizes the arousal signal." ~

[@lennartp186]

​@@AstralDoorway Thank you for your explanation I have been working on nutrition for a while and getting an OBE and lucid dreaming sometimes I don't remember anything and sometimes I have very lucid dreams. I'm going to see if I have better results if I don't eat wheat. By the way, I would also like to say that in the sentence "everything that I'am experience is a product of the mind" I really find it a kind of eye opener for me. Thanks!

Hi, great video I was wondering if you know of any alphabet/ symbols with gold outlines and purple centres, I've been seeing them for a few months, when I put pressure on my eyes with my physical hands after a meditation/ ap attempt and they always show as vivid as anything real, and that surprises me as I have not been able to have any vivid experiences yet (only one OBE/ Lucid Dream by accident) I've seen a couple different ones and only have seen them with pressure pushed on my eyes, I normally just see feint (30%) geometry in my closed eyes with no pressure on, just can't find any reference to them anywhere and not a clue what they mean and why do when i put pressure on my physical eyes everything gets so clear :)

[@1withThe1]

I have a question well maybe questions. I’ve always been a dreamer, meaning at night I always travel through the universe and visit places, to my understanding i was dreaming. But the dreams were so real, in colors, sounds, and all. Sometimes I knew it’s not a dream but a message. I knew my grand passed away before my mom told me, just in the dream and I even visited her after her death, in the dream. I remember all detail of my dreams as if I was really there. Sometimes I dream in the dream and wake up in a dream 😵‍💫 and be late for my work because I was dreaming that I woke up and went to work. 😅 Dead people came to me for help, asking me to tell their family members to do things for them. Sometimes it’s a warning , I knew the future before it happened in physical world. Is that just a dream ? I even dreamed that I was dead, and crossed over meeting all dead people but I was conscious that I was alive , and didn’t die. And I even can do anything like flying just by wishing to. I even can read 😂 Sometimes I was attacked by entities who wanted to kill me in my dreams , but I was never afraid. Once those entities were dragging my soul out of my body, and I felt those vibrations, the earthquake and I resisted to go out of my body. I saw my physical body lying while they were dragging me, but the cord was attached to my body so they couldn’t take me. Back then I didn’t know about astral projection. Was this just dreams ? Or what was it ?

[@nikkogabayan]

Do you still wake up like you had a good normal sleep or are you tired because you left your body for hours?

[@AstralDoorway]

Actually, you usually wake up MORE revitalised than normal sleep. This is because consciousness becomes awakened and not wasting energy on unconscious fragmented dreams. The cause of lethargy in the morning is mostly due to unconscious and negative dreaming.
