Mastering Astral Projection: 90-day Guide to Out-of-Body Experience

While I am a HARD skeptic about anything spiritual. I would almost call myself agnostic in my beliefs. I am starting to believe, while along side this book I am studying multiple subjects on religion and spiritual "things". I am currently on day 55 of this book and have really hit my limits and pushed my beliefs while reading/doing these practices. So heres my full review get ready its long: I don't like the size of this book it seems long and lengthy (definitely in the start)! Multiple stages to learning these techniques can seem worthless and make it seem like it will be impossible to remember while, "actually" practicing them (with your eyes closed and in a trace-like state). I don't like how it makes you read affirmations nightly and morning, to try and program your subconsciousness. let me tell you work work WORK! sometimes I fall asleep while entering into the trance and REDO the day after 30 minutes of practicing the day assigned, then redo following day blah.The days start around 15-20 minutes and head upwards to 45 minutes to an hour. So do the math easily 35 minutes average times 90 days. You'll put in your fair share of time and effort.... But after the day pass you remember these easliy. Although, while forcing myself clean the basement room full of trash to turn it into my mediation room had to get away from the wife dog and road traffic, moved my whole frame and bed downstairs and just a lamp in the room now. I love it, my room of nothing, ahhhh yaaaaa. I have noticed a little resistance with my wife in regards to me learning this. She seems to be interested but would dare try to even try anything. I find myself enjoying mediating and relaxing in my own room. I've learned that our western culture has us pre-programmed to constantly think, "go go go go" or have multiple things going on at once,Facebook, pintrest, youtube, texting, ect. Studies have shown the benefits of mediation and just slowing down, and I am also learning them first hand. I've learned to become a more mindful person to myself and others, it reflects on my attitude and diet. This book has taught me "astral downloading" of dreams and how to strengthen these skills. Which sometimes our dreams or NDE make the biggest influences on our lives. I dream almost every night now. sometimes three times, not lucid all but dreaming and remembering, at least dream every other night. I have learned because of my belief systems I find myself stuck in my body and scared as they talk about around week 3-4. When I feel the heart,full body stuff and feel the weightlessness , i get scared of the unknown and everything else they talks about..... Feeling the double i come back and rip myself back in... Only in time i will get it! Astral noise of people talking and stray noises, these are harmless but still confront you with fear. I HAVE NOT OBEd although open my astral eyes a few times and projected my double once though not leet my body fully and not been able to open my eyes. The weightless-ness... the fear... the darkness, its all there and harmless but is still unusual and foreign. I have a bike heart beat monitor that i have worn during my practices and your heart charka will race with vibrations and pulsing right before the obe. Remember this is your energy center not your heart. Tried out recording my practice with my gear on. ends up they were right, pulse never raised. The vibrations are slightly pleasurable, and you can make it if you want...which they talk shortly about not recommended while practicing unless you make time for that, and become INTENSE! calm down now its not recommend but hey we all experiment around cough cough. Love doing my feet. Anyways i'm done ranting and raving. I love this book but its changing my beliefs and my life. trust me one step at a time, even one obe in the end is still a obe. its like trying to get a women/man in bed right? 90 days of no's...... and 1 yes.... is still a yes! Feel free to comment or ask more questions. I'm going to do my day now! Hope I was more helpful that some of the other reviews.

My First OBE I was on Day 53 of this book....9 September 2013 at 15:21It was about 8:30 pm on June 8th 2012, when I laid down for a session of meditation. I had been meditating for about 9 months at this point. Not as much as I wanted too though. On this night I was well rested and not fatigued.I was laying on my back with my arms at my side. I began my normal routine of trying to “shut down” my thoughts. Focusing on different things, my breathing, the sensation of my toes, the air as it passes over my lips and out my nose. I was having a good session this night. I was pleased with how easily I was able to quiet my mind. It doesn’t always come easy. Actually it usually doesn’t come easy.I decided to play with my “energy aura”. Trying to find the smallest point of “energy” in my body. How small I could imagine it. How infinitely small I could focus that energy. This point was centered in my chest. Decided to go the opposite way too. How large must my energy extend past my body. My heat, my frequency, my brain waves. I juggled these two back and forth. How small, how large. At one point I thought I could fill the entire universe with my energy. And another, like I vanished into nothingness.Sometime in between this “juggling” I started to feel this “vibration”. To this day I wish I had a camera in the room. To me it was like I was a “tuning fork”. Hard to explain. Not sure if the vibration was internal, or something that could have been observed from the outside. All I know is that I WAS vibrating. This really freaked me out. Almost to the point that it was about to break my meditative state. So I went back to focusing on my energy, keeping my mind as blank as possible. The vibration just got more and more intense.Suddenly, I “popped” out of my body. Well, I popped, then hovered just above my body. The vibration stopped immediately. The exhilaration was almost too much. I tried to stay focused, and just take everything in. I started to examine my surrounding and myself.The room was “hazy, ethereal”. My body was not really a body anymore. I was this pale white light. With 5 appendages. Not arms/legs/head really, more of a “starfish” type thing. I had these arms, but they tapered off and never formed any hands. Same thing for my legs. My “head” was just a fuzzy white light as well. With no real features too it.I could feel everything in the room. Anything I focused on, and it felt like I knew the entire makeup and lifespan of the object. I turned my attention back on my “astral self”. I was still hovering just above my body. I started to really analyze my “construction” in this form. That is when I realized something…. I was not of any gender. I wasn’t male or female. I just was. I had no genitalia at all. No penis, no vagina. No nothing.Well, this set my mind racing. “Would I still be attracted to women”. “Would I still want sex with my wife”. “What does this mean?” “I cant believe it, I JUST AM”! Well this line of thought was enough to SLAM me back into my body. It was a sudden and shocking experience to suddenly be thrust back into your body.The realization of years of research proven to me. Everything I thought I had found out after researching was pretty accurate. We are just driving these bodies around. They are not us. We are infinite. We chose to live this life. We chose everything about this life. We lived before this life. We will live after this life. Unlimited choices, unlimited free will. Next time I could come back as the Sun, The moon, an Ant, my mother. Anything that I can imagine! Consciousness is the base of all being. All reality. You are just a fragmented part of the “Universal Consciousness” (ie. “God”)., only fragmented by your body. We chose this body to experience this separateness. It is a unique experience that all beings want to have a few times. Separate from the whole, but only in perception. Still connected to the “source” but our bodies are very limited.June 8, 2012
