First of all I must confess that I put this story on the 'spiritual devellopment' section as well. Then someone said that he/she hoped that someone from the astral projection section would read it. So this gave me the idea once that thread had comes to its end to see what people had to say over here
TLDR: Selftaught meditation by using my abilities to sense energy and interact with them. Then something guides me to different places and I wonder if someone could explain the experience to me or if the locations/experience are similar to anyone else.
My journey:
Every since I can remember, even as a child, i was aware of the energy inside myself and the energy around me (the air, earth, space, people, living things). Like any child would do with anything, I started playing around with this energy and found my self wandering to somewhere else. It always goes the same. As soon as I close my eyes things started to happen. I call them phase 1,2,3, 4 and 5.
Phase 1 3-6 min: I started to see vague flashes of light and blurs. That dances elegantely in my mind. I can see them even though my eyes are closed. Then these blurs start to assume colours and initiates phase 2.
Phase 2 6-15 min: My body feels very heavy but light at the same time. Also I lose sense of my physical dimensions and I feel very liquid for some reason. The colour blurs coordinate themselfs into geometrical shapes and figures. Then they start to assume a fractal form and are best described as mandalas or when you are laying on the ground in a forest and look up trough the branches. Then a pitch black circle appears in the middle of my view that has 2 rings of multiple circles around the black inner circle. This shape is geometricley out of ballance at the start and the inner ring of circles rotate counter clockwise and the outer circle rotates clockwise. Then with a bit of focus I can reshape both rings so it perfectly fits on eachother and the inner circle. The best thing I could do to describe this shape is a flower. Once that happens the inner black circle starts to have a bright white light in the middle that starts to expand and the circle is now a tunnel. Which initiates phase 3
Phase 3 15-???min: I project myself into the tunnel and it is difficult to hold on to my own consciousness. Since I am older now I am able to stay conscious 80% of the time. The tunnel feels familiar all the time and my emotions are silent, perfectly alligned and observing. In this tunnel I encounter a green presence, which introduced itself as Iroh (hence the name I chose for this forum), and guides me if I want it to do. Sometimes I just explore on my own. This initiates phase 4:
Phase 4 (lost my sense of time but it does take a while after phase 3): I made it trough the end of the tunnel and I am in different place now. It varies what I can experience here and I will try to keep it as short as possible.
One Location: I tend to go to a different planet of some shorts and I materialize into another body. This body belongs to a tree giant and is in a lushfull green forest planet. Everytime I return a significant amount of time has passed since I am rooted again to the ground and plants are growing on me. Also I move very slowly (for the last 3 years on earth I have been climbing the same mountain side everytime I return here).
Second Location: A dark and misty realm on a grey rocku plain. I am standing on an circular altar made of creative decorational patterns on the floor. A big crowd of hooded cloacked people standing 5 metres away from the altar I am standing in, 360 degrees around me. On this alter there are two pedastels in front of my and two rocks elegantly arcing over me. I am holding a white shining orb crystal in my hands and the people want me to put it on one of pedastels. I never do this since I feel like I am not ready yet and bid them farwell.
Third location: I materialize in space and see the earth below me and the sun in the distance. Before me is a lush big golden door with two big golden statues of human figures next to the door. As I approaches the door, the door opens slowly and reveals a big void where I go to. This initiates phase 5
fourth "location": Sometimes I just take Iroh's hand and let him lead me to places that are stunning. Or I leave him be and explore on my own. These places usually do not have a connection with eachother.
phase 5 (Rarely remain conscious, about 5% of the time):. After entering the golden gate I find myself on a plain grassfield with sunny weather. Then this plain gets distorted and I can acces the dimension between x,y,z and time. Nothing makes sense anymore and I can travel between worlds that are intertwined with eachter. Above is below, left is right, past is future, presence is relative. I encouter beings here that always want to talk to me about things I forget when I am back in the physical world. However they always unlock something in my subconscious that I feel like helps me out in life and beyond.
Looking forward to your guys opinions! Any information where I am drifting off to will be appreciated!
