WILD

“…so I asked my Guides for help.”

For the last couple of months I have been trying a mixture of techniques to achieve astral projection but none have been successful. Since my last experience I had continued to use the original technique I had started off with, which I had found to be very successful but this required me to wake up naturally, which I am no longer able to do now that lockdown is over. I am back at work full-time, meaning that I am setting an alarm in the mornings. I tried using my old technique at the weekends but it had stopped working for me altogether. Is the reason for this due to the fact that I am trying to AP less often or is it because of the last experience had caused a bit of anxiety and therefore fear is stopping any further experiences? I am not sure what the answer is.

I started to incorporate new techniques during the week that aims at keeping the mind awake while the body sleeps. As you can imagine this is very tricky to do and needless to say I couldn’t do it. I have not had any experiences worth writing about. However, while in sleep on about two or three occasions my mind has become consciously aware that I’m going through the portal/tunnel of light/energy and I do recall anticipating what is going to come next knowing that I am now at the beginning of an AP experience. After exiting the tunnel/portal my memory cannot recall what happened next. I have also felt vibrations in my body after coming out of sleep and feeling a slight separation beginning to happen but nothing had come of it.

I was feeling very frustrated with the fact I had learnt this weird and wonderful skill that I had been totally unaware was possible to have, being able to induce the experience whenever I had a strong intention to now not being able to bring the experience to fruition. After continuing to read many book s and listening to podcasts about AP I came across an app recommendation which was Lucidity. This app contained five different techniques that could be used to achieve AP which were all abbreviated (as shown in the above image on the left). I was unsure which one to focus my attention on for the next few days so I asked my Guides for help. This is a subject in itself which I will be writing about soon in this blog. I asked my Guides which one of these techniques will work for me. I then go to grab my dream/AP journal to begin writing a plan of action that I will begin to practice until my sign is given to me. But before I go to open up the journal I notice a sticker on the front cover of my book (right of the image above)… and there was my sign…..WILD.

So I tried the WILD technique and it worked first time!

‘Welcome Hannah’

Saturday 27th February 2021

…I notice a young lady in white sitting on my bed…

I write two tasks that I would like to experience before I go to bed. Most of the tasks I have set beforehand have been to meet my spirit guides and in this experience I believe I did but not knowing it at the time. So I set my alarm for 1am then got up to go to the bathroom to then come back to bed while mentally going over my affirmations ‘I am powerful, I am strong, I am out of body’ before falling back to sleep. I woke up naturally in the morning and I was fully conscious as it was starting to get light outside but I kept still and kept my eyes closed. I tried the rope technique while repeating in my head ‘I am out of body’ but that didn’t work so I moved on to the roll over technique instead.

This worked and it’s my favourite one because the exiting is so vivid and you feel your lightness leaving your heavy dense body. When I’m completely out I slowly push myself up so I’m sitting on the bed then a second later I find myself standing at the bottom of my bed trying to find my bearings. As I turn to face my bedroom door I notice a young lady in white with dark bobbed hair sitting on my bed very still with her hands on her knees but at that moment I don’t take much notice of her as I thought she was me in those brief moments that she was in my peripheral vision. The reason I came to this conclusion at that time was because the very first astral projection experience I had was similar to this one where I rolled out and found myself in the exact same place at the bottom of my bed.

My first experience I had then asked to see my reflection and immediately saw my reflection in my door. However looking back at this new experience, the lady didn’t look like me and I was standing while she was sitting. So after I turned to head to the door I opened it and the hallway was dark and I couldn’t see a thing. The darkness caused me to feel a little apprehensive and as soon as I have this feeling I then hear a voice from the hall say ‘Welcome Hannah’. I instantly felt rattled and asked to go to Nirvana where I felt a rush of movement like I get when I go through the tunnel but before I could go anywhere I was then back in my body.

So even though the voice scared me I didn’t actually see anything scary. In the book Adventures Beyond The Body it mentions that you will face challenges and you may face some things that appear scary however if you investigate it, then it maybe a valuable lesson for you or a potential experience that you would ultimately be grateful for. For example, William Buhlman describes someone’s experience of seeing a dark figure when they had this one particular OBE and rather than getting out of that situation, e.g. going back into your body or requesting to go to another place, they faced it and the shadowy figure turned out to be this persons deceased son. Another example is William Buhlman himself said of his own experience that he found himself looking down these dark stairs and seeing a shadowy figure which after a few seconds turned out to be some animal like creature. He was so scared but he did not move and when the creature reached him it wrapped their arms around him and licked his face. He said that he felt that he had stepped up in his journey which then allowed him to go on to further and more profound aspects of the astral projection experience.

The lady I saw looked like the same lady in my other experience at the hospital. I believe that she is one of my spirit guides. Why do I think that? Well, I set an intention beforehand pretty much every time I have wanted to astral project to meet my guides. Plus after talking with some people on the AP Facebook group I have been informed, that most of the time, spirit guides show up in white. I’m annoyed that I missed that opportunity to talk with her. I have so many questions! Maybe I’'ll get another chance to speak to her now I know that she is my guide.

Flying Without Sight

Wednesday 24th February 2021

‘I am powerful, I am strong’

I went into a deep meditation for 30 minutes before bed to get myself into a good mindset before my OBE and I woke at 1am. After getting up to go to the bathroom I then repeated ‘I am strong, I am flying, I am out of body’ before I went back to sleep. Like the previous experience, I was again dreaming and sensed the electricity flowing in my physical body so I focused my attention on my toes then move it to my foot and I said in my mind ‘I am flying’. Straight away I floated out of my body and rushed through the white tunnel/portal in a blur. Then I felt I was flying very fast but not being able to see anything. Just a white haze around me but it felt exhilarating none the less. I said ‘Take me to Nirvana’ and I continued flying, sensing the motion and feeling excited and free as I sense the vastness around me. After a few moments I could make out foliage underneath me going past in almost a white blur. I felt so happy and I remember saying ‘I am powerful, I am strong’. I felt these affirmations were vibrating through me with such power as I was saying them out loud. It was amazing. I wanted to change my surroundings before I would get pinged back in my body so I requested to go to Andromeda but I run out of steam and got pinged back before anything happened.

Moving forwards I really need to demand clarity or awareness with great intention next time as I understand from other peoples experiences that this will work for me. Taking the time to meditate before bed really helped with a more positive experience. I feel this is going to be a ritual of mine.

Moving From a Dream to Astral Projection

Saturday 20th February 2021

…this plane it is VERY sensitive to thought.

So this method of achieving astral projection was new to me as I got there via a dream unintentionally. So I set my alarm for 12.45am after going to bed at 9pm and I am dreaming. I begin to notice while dreaming that I can sense the ‘electricity’ feeling in my physical body. This makes me become more aware and I know what I have to do. So I begin to manipulate that energy. I pull the energy to the top of my head and mentally ‘squeeze’ it which causes me to rush through this light tunnel/portal that I often go through before I experience an OBE. The only difference now is the portal is white and no longer has a green/blue tinge to it. While travelling through the tunnel I am aware that I am astral projection and I am anticipating what I am going to experience this time. I can’t see much apart from movement and white light. Seconds later I find myself gazing up at a ceiling and appears I am travelling through corridors in a fluid movement.

Then some people come into focus at my side who are looking down at me. I sense that I am in a hospital and these are doctors because they are in white and they seem concerned while I am being rushed through the corridors. I have a man in a white gown at my feet and a lady with dark bobbed hair to my right and I think to myself that I need to get the lady’s attention to let her know that I’m ok and there is no need to worry. So I look at her intently and I smile. She then looks at me and returns a warm friendly smile.
Now after this experience I have stopped watching anything negative or scary the night before I intend to have an OBE because on this plane it is VERY sensitive to thought. So saying this, I vaguely remember feeling a bit apprehensive at one point then automatically I find myself being grabbed by two odd looking mischievous characters who appear to my left. They march me down the corridor while holding onto me. I am not scared by this but more annoyed that I can’t investigate this experience more and find out who those people were.

I am mainly focused on doing some proper exploring which I have wanted to do from day one so I try flinging my ‘arms’ about to shake these two off me but movement is still a bit tricky for me and my ‘arms’ feel heavy. I feel that my apprehension/nervousness affected what I saw. Again it doesn’t appear that I have a body and I am just a point of consciousness. Moments later I get placed into a dark room and I hear the door slam shut and the turning of a key. But as soon as I find myself in this room I remember that it is possible to move through walls and doors etc. So that’s what I do but as soon as I walk through the door I am back in my body.

Moving forwards I will not watch anything negative on tv before I attempt an OBE as this seems to interfere with my experience. I want to have a clear mind and be full of positivity because your mind frame will spill over to this place.

Two Incomplete OBEs

6th February 2021

…I immediately felt that I was lifted up vertically and then catapulted forwards in a blur.

The night before I didn’t set as much intention as I normally do and I now recognise that it crucial to have an OBE. The intention is letting your subconscious know what you are wanting to achieve so repeating it over in your mind before sleep or writing it down will solidify the plan of action . Due to the lack of intention I put out there beforehand I kept forgetting to perform my normal techniques whenever I came out of sleep and it’s vital to do them in the first few seconds of coming out of sleep. I will write up my techniques in another blog. When I did remember what I should be doing those vital early seconds were long past. So I went with using my prana energy as described in my previous blog instead. I focused my energy from my toes to the top of my head and held it there while mentally squeezing it to the crown of my head.

I didn’t need to repeat this action because I immediately felt that I was lifted up vertically and then catapulted forwards in a blur. I couldn’t make out anything around me but I was aware that I was out of my body because I had that ‘knowing’ sensation that I am now familiar with. I didn’t feel the actual exit this time, however after reading many peoples experiences the exit isn’t always felt. The other determinate factor of how I knew I was out of my body is that I seem to go through a tunnel or portal at very high speed. the tunnel feels like it’s full of motion or energy which whizzes past me in a blur. Everything around me has a green/blue haze to it which is what I experience every time I have had an OBE.. Also the environment just has this different energy to it. It makes me a little nervous when I first enter this ‘place’ but I am not as scared as I was the first time. I think it doesn’t help that I cannot see clearly when I’m there. Apparently your vision does become crystal clear when you’ve experienced a few OBEs but this is my third time so it’s still very early days for me. Now I cannot make out any objects or any indicators of where I may be but oddly I can feel my eye mask still on my physical face. So I automatically go to take it off in the hopes that I can see better. The number one rule when you’re out of body is that if you think of the physical body you immediately get pinged back which was what happened to me.

Annoyed with myself I tried focusing on my energy again and a few moments later I feel my light energy/astral body inside me but I couldn’t seem to get it out this time and then seconds later that feeling went.

So moving forwards I have decided that the intention is crucial. You just need to prepare your subconscious on what you want to do so I will go back to writing out my plan and repeat them in my mind before I drift to sleep. Lastly, I need to remember to not think of my physical body.

One night this week I had played around with my inner energy…moving it around like a wave for about 30 minutes before I went to sleep and I woke up at some point in the night with my ears ringing and the energy was moving itself up and down my body without my mental direction. I then felt my consciousness move inwards as though it was going to go deep within me. I wish I could describe the feeling better but I was very drowsy and it was my subconscious trying to take me there. I was not fully awake at this point but the feeling was not familiar to me and I felt panic and before anything could actually happen that pulling sensation to go deeper then stopped. I just need to surrender to whatever my consciousness wants to show me.

Stuck Mid-Transition

4th February 2021

Using my inner energy…..

I was drifting in and out of sleep a few times between 4am and 7.45am and during this period I ran through the techniques I needed to perform to exit my body. I had tried these a few times before falling back asleep and it was starting to get light outside. I thought to myself that I really need to be getting up for the day but I thought I’d keep pushing through with the techniques a little longer. I then had an image behind my eyelids, of being in space. I could see thousands of stars in the far distance and I thought instinctively to focus on my energy/chi that I could feel prickling under my skin. I drew this energy from the bottom to the top of my body and then mentally squeezed that energy when it reached my head. Now, after reading Dr Joe Dispenza’s book ‘Becoming Supernatural’ and also watching a video on Youtube that was explaining a similar topic, I committed myself to doing some of the recommended breathing techniques that helps activate the pineal gland. The idea is to focus your attention from the root chakra and following the focus all the way to the top of your head or to the third eye (depending on which technique you’re following). As you start your attention at the root chakra you inhale a breath while clenching the muscles in the root chakra as well as clenching the stomach and throat muscles as it travels up and when the energy reaches the final destination (third eye or top of the head) you hold the breath and focus on that area.

I started doing these randomly throughout the day even before I experienced my first AP. Since performing these breathing exercises I have noticed that whenever I am still, such as when I am lying in bed, most of the time I can feel the energy prickling under my skin. So when I saw the image of being in space I decided to pull that energy to the top of my head and mentally squeezed it there and as I did I began to exit my body. With my eyes still closed I could feel my body lighten and then there was that ‘knowing’ that I am now familiar with, which is telling me that I can now leave my physical body. As I began to exit I immediately had audio hallucinations, which were the same as before. I could hear my daughter moving around outside my bedroom door. I knew they were not real and I continued trying to move the energy up again as I seemed to be stuck in mid-transition. So I asked, in my mind, for assistance. I have read that some people have been helped when trying to exit and have felt a hand grab them and pull them out but what I got instead was a mans voice ask ‘You want to get out?’, another hallucination? I continue to ask for assistance but without luck. I then realised that my right foot was tucked under my left thigh, which is sometimes how I sleep. But when attempting to AP apparently a lot of people can achieve it when they’re on their back and legs straight down and slightly apart. Thinking that this was the problem I stupidly moved my leg and I was fully back in my body. You are not supposed to move a muscle when trying to AP or think of your physical body otherwise it halts the process.

What I took away from this experience is that I seem to be able to manipulate this prana energy that I can feel inside me to help in exiting. I need to experiment with this energy and I need to continue to follow my intuition. Also when I feel my energy/astral body I should not think of my physical body nor move it otherwise it’ll prematurely stop the process.

This Morning I Had My Second OBE

30th January 2021

….he walks alongside myself looking pleased to see me and says ‘Hello’.

The rolling over technique did not seem to work this time. I tried the rope technique instead which worked to my surprise as I have tried this previously without success. I began to feel lighter and that sense of ‘knowing’ I could exit my body was back, just like before. I stopped halfway through this process because I thought I heard my daughter come into my room. I kept my eyes shut not knowing what to do. because I was in mid transition. Now, after reading the books as I have mentioned in my first blog, it is said that audio hallucinations can be common in this state of consciousness. You may hear someone calling your name, or someone saying ‘you’re late for work’ or something of the sort. Apparently this is your subconscious playing tricks on you. As I was pondering these audio hallucinations I could feel my legs start ascending higher than the rest of me. I then concluded that the sounds of my daughter wasn’t real so I continued pulling the rest of me out and then my body began floating upwards. A second later I am flying high above the ground but I am unable to make out anything because I am going at such a speed that my vision (again) was not very clear. I then remembered that I need to maintain myself in this place and to do that I need to start focusing on things in my surroundings before I get pinged back into my body. So I conclude that I need to be on the ground to do that.

So I tell myself in my mind ‘I want to get down’ and I immediately start to descend. For those brief moments I wonder if it’s going to hurt when I land because I don’t seem to be slowing down but when I do land I feel nothing at all and land in a fluid motion. I look around and find myself in a town or a city as there are tall buildings around me. I notice people walking in one direction so I follow the crowd. My vision is still a bit foggy so I look around for something to pick up and scrutinise which apparently helps in maintaining yourself in the ‘other side’ and it helps with a clear vision. I notice some purple flowers to my side that look like thistles so I pick one and gaze at it with great intention. I still can’t get a good image of it so I continue to walk along. A man to my left notices me as soon as I landed there and he walks alongside myself looking pleased to see me and says ‘Hello'. I acknowledge him and continue to walk on with him by my side and I also notice another man that starts to walk with us. I remember my first task so I say to myself ‘I want to meet my higher self’. I don’t notice anything so I repeat it again. I then spot a man in a dark suit walking towards me and so I ask him if he is my higher self to which he replies with a sneer and walks past. My friendly companion tells me ‘Don’t talk to him, he’s a demon’. With this statement I then look around to see the ‘demon’ man skulking behind me.

Oddly, I didn’t feel any fear as I didn’t feel threatened. I shouted ‘Go away!’, which caused him to scuttle off quickly. From the book ‘Hacking The Out Of Body Experience’ by Robert Peterson, he mentions seeing dark entities and demons and he says that if you come across such things you need to stand your ground and show them no fear. Get angry if need be and they’ll soon go away when they realise that you are not to be messed with. So I rehearsed this in my mind if I was to come across such situation. This approach obviously worked and it made me feel empowered. The men who were walking with me said ‘well done’ and looked impressed. I remembered again my task and asked the guy who was closest to me ‘Are you my higher self?’ and he sadly shook his head. I then came to in my tingling physical body.

Now, this demon in a suit was something I had read about from either a book or from somewhere else and meeting a dark entity was at the back of my head before I attempted the second OBE. I was a little anxious about this when preparing myself for the OBE so the exact same scenario coming up possibly my subconscious or something ethereal that is putting some challenges in my path to help me grow on this journey. I do not know the answer to this and I’m pretty sure there is going to be a lot more questions than answers to this journey. But I intend to go with it.

The take away from this experience is that I will feel more confident going into my next one.

Also, looking back at my experiences I have not noticed that I have a body. When I’ve tried to rub my hands in front of my face I couldn’t do it because I couldn’t feel my arms or hands. I didn’t notice my hand when I picked the flower. I just saw the flower in my consciousness and when I thought that landing at such a speed would hurt I didn’t feel the impact. It feels like I am pure consciousness. This is something I would like to investigate when I get the chance.
