I've done drugs in the past... mostly LSD and some coke and pot... but im wayy clean now... and im really trying hard but I don't seem to be getting very far.... even less now than before. I still believe it can happen... without a doubt... I just keep falling asleep.... I know... I know... courses start in may... I just thought I would vent. feedback welcome.

Hey Sender,

Don't feel discouraged. Astral Projection can be tricky and take a bit of practice to get right. Discouragement is however common, we all go through it at one stage or another. We just have to keep trying and adjust what we are dong to try and find the right way.
Astral Projection is a sensitive exercise so we have to be careful of internal states that can disrupt it. Any sort of resentment, anger, sadness, belief that nothing will happen can all make it much harder. If possible its best to try and practice with that sense of mystical inspiration. This is where candles and incense helps to create that atmosphere.
Past drug use can have an affect but it is by no means limitating in the possibility of being able to project as many on this site can attest to, including myself. It's just important to be aware that drug use will go against your efforts in building up the skill of Astral Projection.

Keep practicing and try and find that enjoyment, you don't have to project to have a nice and rewarding meditation-it just helps :-)

All the best with it,
Adam.

I think the problem may be stress. its the end of the semester at school and finals are coming up and I feel like all my scholarships are resting on me doing well on finals. plus long hours at work allowing little to no time for homework outside of class... oh whatever im not complaining or anything... its just the little things stressing me out and I think that has affected my mood greatly. especially lately. but today.... today is going to be alright. I can feel it. =)

I do not think that doing the specific drugs you have done in the past will inhibit your ability to astral project.....um...trust me! I used to think the exact same thing and was very worried that I may have seriously damaged my brain or spinal cord with all my 'raving' and partying mistakes.

Looking back, when I was trying my hardest and stressed out because I could not astral project, it never worked. It was so frustrating which probably affected me subconsciously too. Only when I kept the desire for knowledge and projecting and literally relaxed on a solar plexus level did I start astral projecting. This is hard for me to explain, but try to be relaxed, yet aware....have constant gratitude and ask/pray for help in a very deep sincere way. It is quite literally letting go. :) I'm not quite sure if this helps, but I guess the point is that no, your past drug use will not inhibit your ability to astral project.

By the way, when you wake up in a bad mood, try to sit and be grateful for everything you have...good or bad. It sounds crazy but just do it and this will help set you up to have a phsycologically better day which will make good things happen - much love!

I hope you do well on your finals!!!
