Please Help me. I'm new to this

Hey everyone!

So, last time I tried Astral projection for the first time. I'm not sure if i came close to achieving it.

What I did was I closed my eyes, concentrated on my breathing and comfortably placed my arms to the side and was totally relaxed. What i started to notice was that my arms were starting to 'sink' down my bed to a point where i couldn't feel them and then all of a sudden I started to feel vibration throughout my whole body and my heart started to race like crazy. When that happened, I quickly jumped out of my bed because of fear and I had to ensure myself that I wasn't out of my body.

Ever since that, I'm a little hesitant to try it again without first seeking advice from experts like yourselves. Could you please explain to me what I had experienced? Is this normal and safe?

Thank you!

Yes the the hands/arms falling through the bed is a good sign you were making progress for sure. The racing heart is totally normal and very common, especially in the beginning. It could be you opening up your heart chakra, or it could be from you getting excited even subconsciously could do it. I had the exact same thing happen to me before, you have to try your best to calm yourself. As long as that heart is racing you won't be able to leave your body. Your heart beating so fast will create a strong pull on your torso and you will not be able to free your chest/torso area from your physical body.

Unless you have a diagnosed or perhaps undiagnosed heart problem you totally have nothing to worry about. That is actually one of the only reasons someone should not Astral Project, if they have heart problems.

@smad89 Yes, that's definitely normal. You were really close to going out-of-body. If you waited like maybe 5-10 seconds more, you would've projected. Next time, just relax knowing that it's normal and safe to experience those types of feelings/sensations when one is attempting to go OOB.

This just happened to me last night, and up until now I still can't reach that point again...

One time I was sinking and I went through my bed. I went way down somewhere. I was not afraid. Just let it happen if you can. I can understand how you would not like it but it cannot hurt you.

I see, so i came pretty close. Wow...

Now what if I am successful but during OOB i want to return to my body, can that be simply done by just thinking of my body and I return. Thanks

Yes, it is far easier to return to your body than it is getting out of it. Just simply think about and try to move your physical body. That is all I have to do to go right back into my physical body.

Thanks once again...

Every time I try to astral project, I get really terrified. I know the vibrations are completely normal, but I have heard experiences where evil spirits (if you will) can scare you (if not harm). That is what's stopping me from astral projection.

I noticed that I can easily reach to the state of my body vibrating easily, but beyond scares me as I am unsure of what to expect. Do you guys know what I mean? Any tips to overcome this fear?

Thanks!

Repetition and time.... My one dog was very frightened about getting in the car because for years the car was only used for going to the vet... but once
we started taking her for repetitive joy rides (consistent leaving and returning without incident) she now races to the car with her tail wagging!

You need to go and return several times before this level of comfort settles in... and even at that there may be surprises... This AP thing is a "raw"
exposure to a differing vibration... you're needing to draw on a much deeper aspect of yourself in order to traverse the complications that come with it...
