If you feel
like you've been trying Astral Projection techniques for a
long time and seem to be getting nowhere, you may need to
review your techniques and adjust accordingly.
The following are what I see
as the most common mistakes people make while trying their
Astral Projection techniques. While these really aren't "mistakes"
because they work for some people, they do seem to slow progress
down.
1. Trying at night. If you
try astral projection at night, especially before you go to
bed, nine times out of ten, you will fall asleep. You've had
a long day, your body is worn out, so how can you expect to
achieve Focus 10 or Focus 12 (body asleep, mind awake)? You
need to either try earlier in the afternoon, or switch to
weekends when you can sleep in. If you switch to the weekends
and use, for example, my technique that I wrote about under
the Astral Projection link called "My Favorite Technique"
then you're very relaxed and can slip back into sleep, yet
the mind is refreshed and more likely to get into Focus 10.
Try it and see.
2. Fear. Are you afraid you
are going to die? That someone will cut your cord? You'll
be possessed? Any of these fears will keep you thinking about
this, and not letting yourself project. Always address your
fears before expecting any results.
3. Inner dialog. Are you talking
the whole time? Saying things like, "Is this right?"
or "I wonder if I'm close?" To induce the vibrations,
you have to have no thoughts. Your thoughts need to be narrowed
down to a single thread. When you are trying to get your body
asleep, stop talking to yourself and "listen". Listen
to the faint ring in your head, but don't analyze it. Listen,
but don't talk. When I induce the vibrations, my body has
fallen asleep, the ringing has faded (because now I'm asleep),
and I'm gently focusing on my third eye. All my thoughts are
gone. This takes a while to master, but is necessary. Also,
if you do slip off onto other thoughts, just let that happen,
but gently pull your thoughts back to the single thread and
keep focusing on your third eye.
4. Not understanding relaxation
vs. body asleep. I get mails all the time from people saying
that they are trying to astral project with their eyes open!
To leave your body, you have to reduce the magnetic pull to
the point that separation can occur. All things electrical
create a magnetic pull. Even thinking sends out electronic
pulses and creates magnetism. Pulse and heart rate also creates
energy. Do not confuse "relaxation" with Focus 10.
Focus 10 is Body Asleep. You have to learn how to fall asleep
physically, but keep your consciousness from slipping into
a dream. When the body falls asleep, everything slows down
which reduces your bodies magnetic pull. Then, if you can
master the "no thought" part, the vibrations will
rush in. And when they do, you still have to keep your thoughts
to a minimum because the excitement will increase the heart
and pulse rate and then you'll be sending me mails saying
that you can only raise your astral arms or legs! Most of
the primary chakras are in the head and torso region which
is why your head is the last to separate. So excited thoughts
only make it harder. As my guide told me, "Get out of
your head!" To tell if your body is asleep, you should
no longer feel it, shouldn't be able to hear, and hypnogogic
imagery will start appearing. Don't fight the images, just
don't let them take over or you'll start to dream. Always
gently bring your consciousness back to the project at hand.
5. Impatience. Conscious astral
projection can take months or even years to accomplish. If
you are expecting results in days or weeks, you will more
than likely give up or doubt its existence. Astral projection
takes discipline, dedication, and a ton of patience. It will
happen, but be prepared for the long haul. It's worth the
wait and effort.
These five are the top reasons,
but others can include not removing distractions (kids, pets,
phones, spouses), or not getting enough sleep so that when
you do sleep you sleep like a log and can't keep the mind
awake. Good luck with your Astral Projection techniques.
