Aquarius said:Mate, at this point you should rather start practicing it. You can read books all you want, but it will never give you the experience nor satisfaction that you will get by actually projecting.

No, but I have an online place where you can ask these questions. Go to Reddit, make an account there and ask your questions in the Astral Projection and Lucid Dreaming subreddits. Both have stickied threads which explain the basics and offer resources, read these first and ask any other question you have there. Here in these forums these topics aren't of top priority or importance, so, very few people are experts on them so we can't help you much. That's why you get zero or very few replies.

Yes, their experiences are genuine, yes some of the things they talk about regarding the astral are true, however all of that is explained on the JoS or on other posts on the forum by people (I myself have written a bit about this as well, explaining the basics in enough depth to understand completely what it's all about).

I've searched the word "astral" in your past posts and it shows you wrote only 2 posts, this one which is about empowering your astral senses and has absolutely nothing to do with astral projection, and this one which is about counting with your astral hands during meditation which again has nothing to do with astral projection. Are you sure you understood what the person was asking and I was replying to? The subreddit I linked in my response isn't about the "astral" in general, but specifically about astral projection and more specifically about practical techniques on how to achieve that. If you can find any post here which clearly outlines practical techniques as well as advice on common problems you may encounter when projecting, please link it here. Because I've found zero such posts myself.
And I repeat that this is the most important thing for newbies: they want astral projection techniques that work, as well as advice on problems they encounter, such as sleep paralysis or loud sounds they experience while trying to project. Most newbies really don't care at all about "the astral" in general if they haven't experienced it and are stuck and getting nowhere while trying to project astrally.
And by the way, I focused on astral projection because it's the most commonly mentioned of the two things here. I don't even need to mention lucid dreaming, which is not in the JoS website at all and very rarely brought up here.

Blackdragon666 said:One effective method I use is called the 'Hammock method'. Get into a deep trance and imagine yourself in a hammock. Swinging to and fro, focus on the feeling. Eventually you will find yourself out of your body. Ignore all vibrations, sounds, fears and everything. You can also hear your bioelectricity as a loud buzz. Ignore everything and focus on the hammock.
This also applies for whatever other method one is using. Ignore everything. Void meditation and one pointed concentration go a long way here. I heard even laughter one time but ignored it. Leaving the body is a pleasant feeling. Avoid panicking as you can get reeled back in through the cord, which happened to me my first time.
In my opinion, when someone asks for non-JoS information about a type of spiritual practice or meditation, it means they have read the JoS content related to that practice but they are not happy with the quantity or quality of the information. Is that the case here? Do you feel that the content on the website and forums about astral projection and lucid dreaming is not enough? In this case the relevant articles either need to be `expanded` with more knowledge or practices or experiences, either you might need to practice more the already existing meditations. Practice is the case anyway for all meditations.ghost kid said:Do you have any books on astral projection and lucid dreaming that you would like to recommend?
Artisan said:In the end, as you advance spiritually, things like lucid dreaming and astral projecting will come naturally to you, as such, if you're having trouble, I'd recommend focusing on spiritual cleaning and empowerment.
Not to mention, as you advance, lucid dreaming, from what I have heard, it will happen more and more frequently, and, as you raise your kundilini, I've of some experiencing it every single night without trying.
So, focus on your advancement man, that's much more important than being able to astral project or lucid dream, and, as you advance, you'll naturally be able to astral project and lucid dream with ease, so yea

This last part is most important. Focus on advancement first and foremost. Excessive focus and obsession with Lucid dreaming and astral projection will only distract one from what actually matters.
I haven't consciously tried to lucid dream for years, but I lucid dream almost every night.
Just telling myself what kind of dream I want to have when I go to sleep, or what I want to dream about is more than enough to have full lucid experiences and the most wonderful dreams.
Before joining the JoS I was big on lucid dreaming and astral projection. I looked at all the things I could find online and sought to learn it, etc. I put in copious amounts of effort to master it, using all the advices that are given everywhere.
Yet right now I am infinitely better at it than before and I don't even have to try.
Spiritual advancement is the key to actually unlocking and mastering these abilities. Any other techniques are basically worthless.
Not to mention, lucid dreaming is easily one of the most over hyped phenomenon ever. All it really is, is just a dream, a conscious dream, but just a dream non the less.
Flying in your dream, having dream sex, exploring fantastic things, whatever, it's really not that interesting or impressive at all. Whatever can be done in dreams, is infinitely inferior to what can be done outside of them.
Lucid dreaming, more than anything is a form of escapism for most people who obsess over it, because their lives are mundane and boring, so they seek to experience joys and fantastic things which they long for or cannot have in life in their dreams instead.
When you realize that it's all just a dream either way, your interest naturally begins to wane over time, and focus will be directed elsewhere towards more permanent and beneficial endeavors.
Astral projection largely falls into that same category for most people that are obsessed with it.
It's not worth obsessing over.
I am just quoting Lasollor to see your valuable and important advice as he was seeking advice or astral projection and lucid dreaming.VoiceofEnki said:This last part is most important.
