My first two times listening to the audio brought me into a full body "buzzing" sensation as well as a falling inward sensation. I heard some audio hallucination telling me "congratulations you've made the first step". I was so excited, felt full of joy. I just kept falling deeper and deeper. What held me back was my fear and that my heart was physically pounding so hard it was concering and distracting. To those of you who have astral projected were these experiences the beginning? Was I close to an exit do you think? I've been unable to bring myself to this state again since then and it's frustrating. I think my doubt about this is blocking my progress. anyway, thanks for listening and any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
I could see how you would think you could be blocking yourself, if your fear is outweighing your desire to project. The feeling sits there like a lead plate, a combo of fear of the unknown and losing yourself, losing control.There could be a lot of other stuff in this block too. You've had early success, that's not always that common, so maybe a little scared of your own potential.It may help to take to a diary, really ask yourself why you are afraid. Are there any notions you currently hold that would cause you to feel reluctant to open the block up?Maybe you read something somewhere or heard something from someone that was a glamorization. What are your preconceived notions, are they rational, can you let some of them go? If you can't and you feel like you are up to sharing some of your fears you can post them and get some feedback from others.
It can be hard, i really really dislike facing my fears, at times i think i am a bit of a masochist, i will throw myself into positions that i know are out of my comfort zone.That may not be what you want to do, probably not a good idea. confronting your fears...there is really no way around it, if you want to keep going at some point you are going to have to.Sorry this is getting kind of doomy gloomy
Korpo wrote a really nice article on fears on the boards.I can't find it though...
It can be scary but you will be fine. People use a rollercoaster analogy a lot. i like that analogy too. All that suspence and anticipation leading up to the actual ride sometimes you'll feel the same thing when laying down to attempt a projection, It's energy, use it! Projection is even safer than a rollercoaster is, might as well throw up your arms and let it all out!
Have fun
You haveeyes each composed of 130 million photoreceptor cells. In each of those cells there’s 100 trillion atoms that’s more than all the stars in the Milky way galaxy.However each atom in each cell in each eye formed in the core of a star billions of years ago and yet here they are today being utilized to capture the energy released from that same process all to expand the consciousness of you. It's ironic in that you are the universe experiencing itself And all you are is a thought.
