Whenever I try to astral project my arms hurt
 

The first time I unconsciously started to astral project. My body started vibrating. Then my legs and arms went numb and I had no control over it but the closer I got the more the intense the feeling in my arms was. I read afterwards that it’s energy blockages so I have been doing a lot of energy clearing. Chakra work, tracing meridians, etc and yesterday it happened again and it’s been months. I tried to bare through the intensity of the feeling but I couldn’t, I had to stop. I’m just wondering what in the world this means

It's your fears. All those explanations you read are beliefs.

Fear nothing, and everything will be fine.

Yes, try to relax into whatever is happening.

Peace

Hello

Part of your brain is trying to hold onto what it feels is real. When we Astral Travel many times its our subconscious that guides that journey. The brain wants logic and in that wants our feet on the ground on solid ground.

Try to connect more to being grounded, but letting go of the brains pull in reality. Open more to the gut feelings of being free.

always wondered what astral projection was

ok .

Like some previous posters have said, this is fear based. Sometimes our emotions manifest as pain in the body, so that could be what's going on.

It is very scary when you first start lucid dreaming and/or projecting. I know the vibrations you're talking about. If you hold a lot of fear, you can manifest pain, demonic images, sleep paralysis, etc. It's the fear.

Once you deal with the fear, and relax into it, you will never have this problem again (or very rarely).

How to do?

Just take it one baby step at a time. Don't stop your practice, keep going. But, whenever you feel you can't go on, know in your heart that you have the power to make this stop whenever you want it to. And you don't have to do anything that makes you feel uncomfortable. Just having this knowledge will alleviate some of the fear.

Allow yourself to sit with the feelings that you have, without trying to push through it. This isn't to be forced. Just accept the way you feel, and allow the feelings to go through your body.

Also, you can imagine yourself surrounded by white, golden light that protects you. You can call on an angel or Jesus to protect - whatever feels right to you.

Lose any fear of anything taking over your body shawlayalight47 because it isn't... Relax as some have said, 'no fear' - nothing's going to take over you - make sure your energy vibrations are good before 'take off' - things that can lower vibes are drugs, violent films, fear, hate etc etc - high vibes thoughts/words are love, light etc - you can look online for a list of high/low vibes foods - could be physical so increasing vibes will help with that as well...

I take it this has happened more than once? Just say 'back to body' and try again...

I Would have to Echo what Lynn has said. I can astral travel at will but I have no fear.

If it is this difficult for you, just quit trying. If it isn't easy then there is a reason you should not be trying to astral travel. It is not for the fearful and I suspect there is more than just energy blockages, there is some fear you are not facing and you need to deal with that before you try this again. My opinion is that the vibrating that people experience when trying to astral travel is a subconscious attempt at thwarting the ability. Not everyone is here to flit around in the astral when ever they want. Some are here to learn how to be completely comfortable being in their human body.

Just because someone tells you that they can do something and it is wonderful or exciting or they get information from it does not mean they are actually being honest, first off, it is just stories; second it does not mean it is something you should try and that if you can't do it the way someone else described that something is wrong with you.

The main thing you need to explore and get a grip on is "why am I here, in a physical human body on planet earth?" Your answer to that, honest answer, will never be the same as anyone else that you know.
