How often do you project?

[AlaskaBoy]

I recently listened to a William Buhlman interview, and he estimates that he projects every 10 to 15 days. I am not sure about Robert Bruce or Robert Monroe, but would be curious to know their projection frequency. My goal for the long term is to project at will.

I could not really find a forum topic that asked how frequently forum members here leave their body. It can be conscious or sleep based projection but if you OBE on a somewhat regular basis, please answer the poll. Thanks!

Once or twice a month, but on average- I might have a week with two or three projections and then nothing for two weeks.
I also find that my dreams are sometimes related to OBEs I've had, making the distinction murkier.

I was under the assumption that people with much experience could project a few times a week if they pleased. It is interesting to find that this might not be the case. I am wondering if an OBE is something that is naturally moderated. Maybe projecting every day is not healthy?

I think it depends, on your age and whether you do energy work. And what your sleep habits are also. Plus, only four people have responded so far.

Interesting you bring up age, how do you think this affects projection ability and frequency?

It is still rare for me to induce an OBE at will, but I can do it once or twice every couple of months.

Why do you believe it is rare for you? For somebody who meditates frequently I would think that you could have the ability for more conscious exits. Have you tried the Robert Bruce techniques or do you stick with other types of meditation?

I usually do it at least once a week, often times more then once a week. I would probably be doing it every other day if my work schedual was different.

I consider being able to induce a fully conscious exit projection once or twice in a couple of months to be a grand success. At least for me.

As someone who meditates regularly, and does regular energy work, I would have thought that I would have the ability for more conscious projections too. It seems that the ability to recognize the conditions necessary for projection is also part of the overall ability to project. It also seems that some of the conditions that are needed for successful projection must occur naturally. We can participate to a point, but there DOES need to be natural existing conditions/energies etc, for success.

Everything changed for me as soon as I read Energy Work. Robert work has helped me exponentailly. He is the real deal. I guess that I come from a school of thought where I recognize the natural conditions without having to 'force' them. I believe that it is a 'relationship' with the natural occurring energies, as opposed to controlling the energies.

That sounds about right. Every 10 to 15 days. Sometimes more. I do energy work and meditation every day. Two or three times a day if I can. It makes for a more natural exit and a more robust experience. It is still rare for me to induce an OBE at will, but I can do it once or twice every couple of months. I have found that a more natural exit will occur just a couple of days before a full moon. (not sure why) I am 37 year old male and have had thousands of fully conscious exit projections. Most all of them have been natural exits, (didn't have to try).

Ditto here.
I've been projecting since I was around 8 or 9 years old, and didn't learn to project until I turned forty. (53 now, almost 54. Old lady).

I have the same question, are lucid dreams considered projections? To me a lucid dream is simply a dream in which you realize you're dreaming, I never considered them full astral projections.
