Please someone help. I am facing side effects due to coming to spiritual path.

[kishore]

I am really facing rough time due to spiritual awakening and persistent practice of astral projection. Through a book i came to know that there is something like astral projection by doing which we can stop our suffering and improve our health and all but in the process of doing so i am facing a lot of side effects like losing interest in material and practical life, i dont have any passion to do any practical things, don't know how to cope with the people how don't have this experience. Please give some suggestion if any of enlightened person or awakened person has solution for this. In what profession awakened people fit into, please clarify me.

Perhaps try “mundaneing” after practice. Simply try to focus on completely mundane, even boring, things, like what you plan to have for dinner, whether you’re low on loo roll, etc. This can help ground you.

If you've decided you can't then there's no hope.

Might be better to decide you can and will - and do as Pastthemirror has suggested - distract yourself with things on the mundane world. Write (about anything except spiritual matters), play music, watch comedy TV, take up a craft, dance, read between the time you go to bed and sleep so you don't fall back into your negativity. And hide those spiritual books until things brighten up. Look for something good about every day on the mundane.

There's nothing worse than deciding you can't do something that you really need to do.

If you really can't then you need professional help.

You could always stop the practice of Astral Projection if it is causing unwanted side effects. Certain practices on the spiritual path are not for everyone.

What makes you think that it cannot be reversed?

I find the changes a feature and not a bug.
