Thanks,
The only reason I want to go at a fast rate is because there is a high chance that by the time I get to the part of exiting the body, I'll be in school doing school work.
That's the only reason I want to go at a faster rate, but if it worked for you (projecting before the program was / is / you completed it) then I might just try doing it at an accelerated rate on (Fri - Sun (or just sat/sun) instead of everyday. I haven't done it for a couple of days but I'm on day 14.
Again thanks,
just tell me what you think I should do.

At what point did you project before finishing the program? Also are (or is there) there any other people who did this just like you?
Just asking.
Thanks.
Re: Mastering astral projection experience
Also I wanted to know, could you tell me / post how you knew that you had your first ap / obe? [before you finished the program]
The only reason I'm asking is that a night or two ago I had a dream and the memory of it got mixed up (like Robert talked about in his book AD) and I only remember pieces of the dream and not the whole thing.
Thanks.
Re: Mastering astral projection experience
I did it at thirty days, the program is for 90.
I knew it because I was fully conscious, there was no dreamlike quality to it. Just like getting up in your body, but without it. I didn't wake up to a projection, I projected from a completely awake state.
Re: Mastering astral projection experience
Is it alright if I expand the time for the relaxation to 10 minutes until I can master it and then reduce it later on?
The reason I'm asking is because I keep trying it at 5 minutes and can mostly never get my body relaxed within that time?
Thanks.
Re: Mastering astral projection experience
Yes. Figuring out how long to do this is part of the process. It's how it feels for you.
Re: Mastering astral projection experience
Is this a good chair for doing / practicing work for the MAP program?
http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/S59197783/
The reason I'm asking is that I can't fit an armchair into my room (because of space issues).
Let me know if anyone has experience with this / a type of chair like this?
Thanks.
Re: Mastering astral projection experience
If it were me, I'd add an ottoman or a big cushion on the floor for the feet.
Re: Mastering astral projection experience
Is there a way I can do / say the morning affirmations at a different time? Also how many hours / how much after [saying the morning affirmations] should I say the evening affirmations?
The reason I'm asking is because most of the time I awaken between 2 to 3 pm in the afternoon and I've still not said the morning affirmations / done the work for that day.
Thanks.
Re: Mastering astral projection experience
"Morning" means what morning is for you. If you wake up at 2pm, that is the morning, and that is when you should do your morning affirmations.
