Hello, I have a few Qs on Astral Projection for a kind person willing to answer.I didnt know that Astral Projection existed until a year ago...for a few weeks at this time I though I was loosing my mind. I would be lying in bed and feel like i was falling and spinning around and I could not understand it...let alone sleep. I confided in a friend who told me about Astral Prjojection.I researched it on the net and saw that it is a whole practice that excites many! For me is occurs invoulintarily and ive had many intense experiences. On a few occassion i have voulintarity tried it and it worked, but i never follow though as i have fear...espcially because my house is haunted. I worry that I can be harmed while not in my body? Or that I will bump into some of the spirits that hang around in my house? Is this possible?I would love to explore astral projection as it is a gift that has come to me naturally...sometimes I feel myself being pulled...like im being called...but i fight it out of fear and so i hover just above my body...even in broad daylight in the moring as well as at night. And one time I was hoving above my body while on the beach in the day.I cannot explore it until i loose the fear and gain the self assurance you speak of...does anyone have any wise words or advice for me?

Hi Gem,

Welcome to the site! I used to have a lot of fear holding me back from astral projection, too.

One night, I was lying there and was very afraid and I took a moment to observe myself and gain some perspective of the situation. I really wanted to project and I knew nothing could harm me physically. I made a conscious decision that I would keep going with the practice and if I had to face something scary, well so be it. This was an empowering moment and although I was still a bit afraid as I practice, I knew that I made the right decision.

There are negative beings who can try to stop us from astral projecting, but they do this, for the most part through scaring us away from it. The courses here may not be back up for a little while, so if you are interested and able to purchase the Astral Travel and Dreams book, it is a great resource.

Not only does it go through step-by-step how to project, but there is a whole topic on dealing with these negative entities...this includes conjurations that reliably get rid of them, as well as a protective circle that prevents them from entering your room when trying to project.

It's great that you have been experiencing these projections. There is a whole world waiting to be explored there and many opportunities.

Good luck with everything!

Gabrielle

Thank you Gabrielle. Thats good advice and its good to know that you were also scared at first but now you are not. Do you think there is more risk doing it in a house that is 'haunted'...(my place!)??
A book on the topic would be very wise of me to purchase and ill look forward to one day mastering this gift wthout fear in my heart!

Yes, if I can overcome fear, anyone can ;)

I don't have much experience with haunted houses. I've been in one haunted house, that I know of, in which I encountered a ghost...I can give you my understanding of the matter from what I've learned in the courses here and my experience.

There are conscious beings in the astral, including negative and spiritual entities, which are different than ghosts. The spiritual beings help those who are ready and looking for spiritual change to have experiences and opportunities, such as astral projection. The negative entities try to take these same people off track, for example, by scaring them away from the astral where they have access to information and experiences.

From my understanding, the negative entities, as opposed to ghosts, are more likely to try to scare you, when it comes to astral projection. So, it may not make a difference if there are ghosts in the house.

You can try praying for protection, if you feel comfortable doing so. I do this by simply asking my own spirit to protect me in a short mental prayer.

All the best!

Gabrielle

Hi Gem!
I just wanted to share that at the beginning when I started to project I used to panic too!!, but in a differente way, because I didn't know why my dreams were so real. Until I found out about the astral projection.
Now that I'm more into it, I can tell you that being in a haunted house, (as you call it) is a great opportunity to explore what or who is really there, how they look like, what they do, etc... I don't think is risky at all, because when you project you are attached to your physical body by a silver cord that doesn't break (unless you die) and this "ghosts" don't have the power to break it. If you manage to overcome your fear, then you'll be able to experience by yourself what or who is really haunting your house. Whatever it is, I'm sure they won't harm you at all, the most that can happen is that you return to your physical body.
But keep trying!
All the best!
