My 1st Try at Astral Projection

[Sagit]

Hello folks!

Ok, I am brand spanking new to all this. I looked into astral projection after watching a Joe Rogan Experience podcast. Specifically the one with Steven Greer.

So here is what I did & y’all can tell me what I did because it kind of freaked me out:

Last night I laid down in bed, on my back. I just laid there in the dark & quiet, my 3 yr old son asleep in the middle of the bed & on the other side of him my wife was asleep as well.

So, I began to just relax, deep breathes in thru the nose and out thru the mouth. I have never meditated in my life, so I really don’t know how. I just lay still, not moving & breathing with eyes closed. After some time I couldn’t tell if I was really experiencing anything, other then briefly feeling like I was rollling out of my head. It only lasted for what seemed like a split second before I snapped to. I tried to do it all again 2 more times but nothing happened. So, I decided to turn on to my left side & try it that way.

Well, I don’t know how long I laid there before what seemed like I was dreaming but I knew I was still some what coherent or awake. I don’t know if I was envisioning myself on the couch in my living room or just dreaming but I felt like I was really on the couch. Now, what happened next was a bolt of lightning struck me near the hip while laying on my couch and it jolted me out of this state I was in & I was still on my left side in my bed. It seemed so real but I immediately knew I wasn’t asleep...I don’t know if this is making sense or not, sorry. So, I told myself I want to experience this again & this time I won’t be freaked out by the bolt of lightning. Well, it didn’t take long & the exact same circumstance happened again!!! I was on my couch & the same bolt of lightning hit me again!!! I didn’t freak out as bad this time but it was still freaky enough to jolt me back out of this state I was in. So, again I tried to reach the same experience but I couldn’t. I literally laid in my bed all night awake until 6am when I had to get ready to go to work.

So what is this I did? Is this bolt of lightning an astral projection or something else? The fact I was able to do anything, having never done this before was exciting & the fact I was able to have the same thing happen twice has my interest peaked.

Needing guidance on how to proceed further & what was it I actually experienced???
