I've lucid dreamt before, but so far I haven't had a successful AT. I've heard some very good advice from Aries, DarkW, Wookie, and a few others. I also have this booklet thing that I should read lol.

I'll use this thread to note down if I have any progress haha. Feel free to leave advice or feedback here

Cheers!

There are books out there about astral projection, you might want to check them as well : )

Yep, I will when I can @DarkW ^_^

There are lots of books and I keep buying them, but they all end up saying "just do it" when it comes to the actual separation.

I understand your struggle all too well 1sa
I just can't seem to AT no matter what I try. Its extremely frustrating.

So this morning. I woke up, relaxed a bit with my companions, had a little bit of fun, and so on.
Then I decided to try to astral project again. I put my arms above my head, underneath my pillow/head, to keep them still, and sat with my back underneath the covers.
Each time I get close to falling asleep, a itch appears in my back, that is ticklish as hell, and I move. Itchs I can do, but tickle, no, and it really sucks it keeps happening. It's like my body knows that method works. >_<
I'd like to somehow restrain myself, but I dunno how that's gonna work.
(Oddly the tickle in my back didn't used to happen. It's just been when I've started to try to AP)

Anyways, so I ended up shifting a few times, and so on, then my arm fell asleep. Suddenly I was feeling this fuzzy energy, which could've been my arm half asleep, but I lifted it, and I don't think my arm moved. I say think, as I couldn't really see, and obviously couldn't feel.
So I shifted it up, it was kinda like moving through molasses, but I flexed it a bit, and attempted to use that as a foothold to get fully astral, when my mom barged into my room, after knocking a few times, (took her long enough to get used to me closing the door, but she complains about the air being stale, but refuses me opening the window. She wants the stupid door open ugh) and told me to wake up, basically ruining any chance I had of sinking in deeper.

Sigh. I'll get there eventually.

Same here. The separation is where I struggled at. The closes I get to separation is when I "let go of trying" and just did the "pull rope" technique, that's when I felt myself float up. I chickened out instantly and said "maybe next time!", then woke up.

when my mom barged into my room

a little bit late, just browsing through posts. I feel like i've been getting relaxed enough while meditating to let myself astral project. I felt it kind of happen last night, i wasn't trying...just focusing on my third eye as i usually do while meditating. Once i really let go, i felt myself detach a bit and than something pull me right back which shocked the hell out of me. I have been thinking of trying to astral travel more now... especially since my companion would be there for me in case anything happened. Trying to meditate every night now, getting better each time.

or you just can buy a spell for astral travel.

Wow, I have completely forgotten about this thread! Been what, 3 months now?
And I can happily say I've been projecting for what, 1-2 months now?
It's not what I thought it was, where my earthen body would be asleep while I do it (which is slightly different, where more of your consciousness resides astrally than earthen'ly) but I can.
This has been, amazing for me quite frankly, when I had a lot of doubts that I ever could.
It's not at a level my senses are super defined, but I'm slowly developing those. ^_^ It's more VR like, than reality, but it's a large step for me.

It's felt like forever, but it happened haha. I'm not sure exactly the day it started happening, just realized that these, visuals I was getting, was actually real. Perseverance, and giving it time, I think was the best two things. And belief. Truly believing in yourself.

So many things have happened in the past month or two, it would be too much to describe, but let's just say I'm having a lot of fun with my companions, exploring, and being in the astral. Just ask any of my friends I message.

It's been, crazy.

Actually, that can help, but it's no magic potion to suddenly just "make" you astral project, or travel. And I wouldn't rely on a spell for it, IMO. It helps, but it's not a sudden flip switch you can suddenly start doing it.
Maybe it's the nudge you need, but it won't work for everyone.
