Astral Projection Questions

[TruthSeekerXX]

Hi

Recently, I have been trying to learn how to do astral projection. So the way I try to astral project is by waking up early in the morning and staying up for about 40 minutes to induce sleep paralysis. This helps me to keep my mind awake while my body sleeps. I can't attempt to do it any other time or try by starting in a trance during the day because the house is busy and I don't have much time to myself. I have been able to get out of my body, but haven't been able to get very far because of some problems I have encountered. I am pretty sure that I am actually doing it because of how much more real it seems that a dream and because of the feeling in the beginning where it feels like I'm floating upwards.

I have noticed in attempts where I get out of my body with my "eyes" closed and then open them up, I am able to get out but the room that I am in is very dark as if it were still night, although I know its very bright because its the morning. I've gotten out of my room once and ignored the darkness and walked around my house telling myself to stay conscious, but at some point I stopped and I lost control and it became a dream.

But if I attempt to get out of my body with my "eyes" open, the brightness in the room matches what I saw before in the physical, but then I get stuck in my body and I face the "threshold guardian." I've tried to ignore it and focus on climbing upwards out of my body, but it feels like something is wrapping its arms around me, holding me down or tightening its grip. Once it was around my hips and another time it was around my neck. Sometimes there are a couple of objects on my bed that weren't there before but otherwise the rest of the room is the same. I do start to become afraid in this one and I wonder if this is the reason that these things happen.

Regarding these attempts I have a couple of questions: I was wondering in the one where I start with my "eyes closed", if this is not actually astral projecting and just my mind tricking me while the one with my "eyes open" from the beginning is the actual one. But if both are actual astral projections, then when I come out with my "eyes closed" and its dark, how do I make it brighter? Also what do I do about the threshold guardian and how to get my astral body out when this happens? Also if you have any tips on astral projection, I'd really appreciate it!

Thanks!

The reason why you see darkness is because you are still connected too much to your body. When you feel like you projected, don't go anywhere just stay there and try to be there more and be relaxed more and ect, so that you disconnect from your body, more. Anyways. Astral projecting is a intermediate practice and one have to practice it a lot to get it right.

Interesting. Thank you for the explanation and advice
I've joined a couple of months ago, so I'm a beginner. I haven't been able to open my chakras because I live with my family so I don't have much time to be alone and they would've heard me if I did the mantras aloud. I've been able to open the third eye chakra because the repitition of the mantra is short and it takes less time. Surprisingly I found 4 days where there were times I could do it in peace.

So since I'm going to need to open my chakras, would doing the mantras mentally work as well?

As for opening them, it is best if you vibrate out loud, and you feel the vibration in the right place.
You should be able to find at least 30 minutes a day. You can tell them that you want to meditate, if they aren't hard xians or muslims. Let's say they rest a bit while you are meditating, watch a film, ect.

Yes, but they are much less potent in effect. The amount of vibration achieved with the mind is minuscule compared to what your vocal cords can achieve.

I guess I could tell them I want to meditate, but it would take a lot of explaining of why I am suddenly interested in meditation and how did I even find out about these kinds of things. I'm going to have to come up with something lol. Thats actually a good idea.

oh, ok. That would take longer :|

Astral Projection is not simple, it is a skill like learning to ride a bike or learning to swim. Also, you want to focus on the Middle Chakra when it comes to Astral Projection, but all the Chakras should ideally help the Astral body loosen.

Every mantra to open the Chakras only takes 0 to 16 repetitions. I can't imagine how you wouldn't find space to do this unless you live in some strange wall-less commune or something.

The hearth chakra? Because it's the middle one. I always thought that the soul being connected to the body trough the sun chakra during astral projection (and basically it gives energy to the soul to be able to travel, and maintain itself, so that is the most important chakra during astral projection too). I believe I read it somewhere, but maybe I misread or recall it incorrectly.

Or you maybe not even talking about that the heart chakra connects the body to the soul, it's just helps loosen the soul from the body.
Thank you in advance.

Brother Karnonnos, I read somewhere that you need a completely clean to astral project... Is this true? Should I wait until I completely clean my soul with Vishuddhi and then try to project or just try now if I want... Also any tips for entering trance very quickly?

I think that is was just an irrational fear that my parents would think I am doing something weird, but I got over that now. I don't live in a wall-less commune lol

I don't see how sounds are a problem when using something like these:
