Hi Sally,

Concentration on the heartbeats is taught in the Dreams and Out-of-body experiences Course.

Stimulating the heart chakra helps with astral projection as it is connected to this ability (intuition as well).

There's really a lot to learn with this practice.
Good luck with it.

Hi Pavlin

I appreciate your advice I am going to start concentrating on the heartbeats again.

Thanks a lot
Sally

yes concentrating on the heart is a step in astral projection.

concentrating on the heart as a forest is also very good. I base the forest on the woods that I daily walk in. I also have pictures of the wood at home to aid my concentration.

Best wishes
Jacke

Hi Sally, Just out of curiousity can you explain the difference between
I never astral projected with that technique but I had
some unexpected, unplanned astral projection experiences.

For me I've just started to get into concentration on the heart, I formally liked using mantra's alot. But Im exploring heart concentration. For me I seem to wink out for a moment while concentrating then I find myself conscious in the astral.
Is this similar to your "unplanned" experiences?
I think concentration on the heart is super powerful for more reasons than astral projection, but if you want to vary your approach to projection I think its good, so we can learn from each of these techniques.
All the best!

Hi Andrew

You want me to explain the difference between I never astral projected with that technique but I had some unexpected unplanned astral projection experiences.

I used to concentrate on the heart beats a lot and that was that. I probably never astral projected with that technique because I was not relaxed enough. Sometimes late at night I was just sleeping in bed with no intention of astral projecting and I must have woke up for a moment and the next thing I got the vibrations for astral projection and away I went. I do not go instantly into the astral.

I hope this helps,
Sally

Sally Thanks, for the clarification! When I started back in the OBE course with heart concentration, I couldn't get very far with it, because my relaxation wasn't thorough enough (like you said too!) But now after alot of practice (in relaxation) Im starting to have more success with the Heart concentration.
But consciously inducing an exit it still my main focus.
Good Luck, and Thanks.

HI Sally,

Concentrating on the heartbeats is the best of all meditation in the world and it will bring u beyond what  u think. I Danis have done it for so long and it show u alot of think that u dont known. It open the secret of your heart, then it will show u the light, then it will open for u the dimension that u never see before, that is the secret of it.The best think is that u will love by gods. my MSN daniweb23@hotmail.com

Hi Danis

Thank you for your reply. It was a surprise as I was not expecting it. I was wondering as you concentrate on the heartbeats, do you have astral experiences that you were not expecting to have. Say you were sleeping and you woke up for a minute and the next moment you were aware you are going in the astral?

Thanks,
Sally

Hi Sally,

It is common to have an astral experience later on in the night if you have been practicing a technique for projection as you fall asleep. So, if you were concentrating on your heart as you fell asleep at night that could easily lead to waking up in a dream or just finding yourself in the astral sometime later that night. Concentrating on the heart is also useful because this technique in particular can help us to remember our astral experiences a bit better in the morning.

Good luck,
Dara
