My First Astral Projection (1)

This spontaneous OBE happened to me due to my rigorous yoga routine about five years ago. I used to practice for four to six hours daily waking up at 3:00 in the morning then plunging myself into advanced Pranayama techniques even though I was not prepared for them.

After one of those early practices, I was lying in my bed in a trance-like state, half-asleep, probably resting in Shavasana. It was still dark outside. Suddenly I became conscious because of the strong vibrations taking all over my body. I was completely unaware what is happening to me. I felt my heart was beating about 300 beats per minute (actually it was my heart chakra as I have realized it later) and I thought it was going to explode. Nevertheless, I knew there is something related to OBE happening so I did let it go.

After a few moments, black pitched darkness surrounded me and scary astral noises commenced. I felt very uneasy, but kept calmness inside and wated patiently. I could see various ornaments approaching me in the darkness, spinning clockwise and I had submerged into them. There was this terrible sound of a massive locomotive speeding through me with his alarms and whistles blowing at full extent. I could also hear various voices and steps walking right beside me. That was very creepy!

In the moment all the noises had stopped. A view of some kind of room faded in. I felt I was flying... through my room. Astral wind was carrying me. I could recognize my room, but it was changed: there was no kitchen table, no carpet, there were some old maple leaves lying on the floor.

I flew right through my kitchen window even if it was closed. I realized I could possibly be in the Astral Plane. This made me very excited. I took control of my flight and headed towards the main entrance. I kept touching things on my way. Everything looked as realistic as on the Physical Plane. The only difference was that if I wanted my hand go through those things it would go, I could also go or fly through walls and change forms of the objects at will.

I saw my hosts sitting outside at the table and drinking some kind of tea. They appeared much younger to me than they are in reality. Now when I was aware of my immortality I wanted to make a rush to my room through all the walls that were on my way. I flew at an enormous speed and a sound of the shattering glass was heard behind me. I looked at my body – I was still uninjured, though I was strangely dressed.

When I made my way to my room, I was surprised to see a young Papua native dancing in there. He resembled me in a way, but was smaller and one eye blind. I observed his dance for some while and suddenly I entered his body. Now I could see myself dancing in his body in front of a mirror. I could also notice that my right eye was useless. That was an interesting experience.

After that, I realized I was lying near or in my physical body but could not control any of my limbs. I made a few unsuccessful attempts to enter my body this made me uneasy. I thought I could never enter my body again and inevitably die! Finally I relaxed, and probably, felt asleep, this helped me to return to my body of flesh.

Failed OBE (53)

I do not recall what my dream was about, but I remember becoming lucid in that dream. Once I realized my lucidity I performed the Falling Backwards technique to enter the Astral Plane. No sooner than I began falling backwards in my dream, the well-known symptoms of pre-OBE were initiated – my whole body was submerged into vibrations.

After a few moments I became conscious of my physical body that was lying on my right side on my bed. Falling backwards was a little complicated in this situation because it was unnatural. I should have tried falling on my side in this case, but it was hard to trick my mind so I just relaxed and performed the Third Eye Gazing technique to trigger an OBE. I felt my leg muscles twitching, that was not good because it could fail my attempt at any time.

Whole body vibrations continued for a few minutes and I was still unable to separate from my body. Not enough, I felt my saliva collecting in my mouth. That was completely distracting. For some reason I thought if I swallow it my OBE attempt will fail for sure. Possibly, I have programmed myself to fail my Astral Projection thinking that way. Mind becomes very susceptible in the trance state, so as soon as swallowed that saliva the pre-OBE vibrations faded away and I felt completely conscious lying on my bed again.

Sounds of the Chakras

This happened to me about three years ago. I was meditating in my room in Germany, a very quiet place in woods. Even then, I was using my earplugs to ensure the silence is not disturbed while practicing my routine. Earplugs are very helpful for the beginners.

I was sitting in the semi lotus posture that evening and suddenly I began to hear the sound of a church bell. It was continuous and too much echoes was around it in order to be realistic. I knew there is the church near by and it rings every evening at the certain times for several minutes, but this sound was continuing for about twenty consecutive minutes.

I was trying to disregard that disturbance, but still it was interesting to me what was going on outside. I took off my earplugs and was surprised – there was no sound at all, it was complete silence around me. So I inserted my earplugs again and continued my meditation. About few minutes later, the mystical sound touched my ears again. This time I continued to listen to this beautiful sound and as I concentrated on it was growing louder and louder. Soon I have noticed it is not a church bell at all, that was a sound coming from inside of me.

This continued every time I sat down for my meditation. I kept wondering where it is coming from. I had a different kind of sound coming from my right ear, but I knew it was a buzzing caused by the loud music that I was listening in the discothèque few weeks ago. This was a completely different case and I could not explain it.

Few months later I was reading Paramahamsa Yoganangaji’s writings. He was explaining the sound of chakra’s or astral nadis in that article. I have realized that the sound of church bell was nothing else but the sound of my third, solar plexus chakra. After that, I have discovered my root chakra sound, which sounded like a cricket. Then I heard my heart chakra playing the sound of flute. Sometimes I could notice a very soft sound coming from my second chakra which reminds me a tingling of water while being poured into a metallic plate.

Technological Invention for Effortless Meditation - Holosync

First, I was introduced to meditation and yoga about 5 years ago. I found it quite difficult to maintain concentration and my mind kept wondering. Nevertheless, by rigorous practice of breathing techniques I was able to quiet my mind for short periods of time.

Two years ago or so I was having a terrible headache, which is still lasting at some degree since then. I was doing a research online looking for the cause and a possible solution to it. I have discovered Binaural Beats and how they work on human brain on one website. There was a list of human brainwave patterns and their effect on body and mind. I found that one which removes headache so I designed a stereo track on Sound Forge by Sonic Foundry.

I listened to that self-made track for about 20 minutes and felt I was in a trancelike state. It was quite extraordinary, because I did not believe anything unless I tested it for myself. After that, I sought online for the similar software, because I knew there was somebody before me was doing the same thing. I found Brainwave Generator, free software with great presets, community and forum. I was experimenting with it for few days in a row, some mystical experiences happened.

I kept looking on the Internet. I found the most promoted program on the Internet – Holosync. I listened to their free demo track, and was amazed how quick it was – my mind started falling to the trancelike state as soon as I put the headphones on. I bought the initial level (they have designed 12 levels or so) for this amazing program and enjoyed the results – effortless meditation.

My friends also had similar experiences. They even reported the first signs of Kundalini awakening as well as other signs of spiritual progress while on the 4th level of this program.

Help Make Blogs More Visible!
