Astral Guide: Methodology for OBE Experience

[Ezkeel]

Part 2 coming soon, hopefully someone was at least able to wake up and remember their dreams or travels...

Yep I was losing what I did naturally when I had to change my schedule
Now thanks to a few resources I can see what I was doing right and wrong
Illumination!!!

What do you think of the technique of drinking water before you go to bed or setting an alarm every 10 min or so? or setting your alarm for super early (around 5-7am)


I have tried these techniques, but they dont really assist me in my OBE. They help me remember my dreams. I think getting up in middle of the night to use the bathroom helps me a little more in remember dreams and then entering a lucid dream when I fall back asleep.

For some reason, I try, but I cant control my OBE. they happen randomly. Maybe I am trying to hard.

I think the alarm method is good for people, just trying to remember there dreams or astral experiences, after that it becomes a hindrance. As far as drinking water before bed, I've never really did that, so I don't know. I would hate to have to get up to pee throughout the night.

I feel you as far as the techniques, different things work for everyone, as you already know. The most important would probably be raising your vibration, I don't know if you're into mantras, but vibrating them before bed, also helps to open up to higher frequencies, especially in the astral world. There is so much different shit. If you can go into trance, then you should be able to control your astral experiences with just a little bit of practical exercises. I know some people who invoke angels, demons, goddesses, etc to help them also. What have you had success with so far?

I dont think I can say I have necessarily have had successes. It happens so randomly for me. I do think I have OBE in the morning, when I take a 2-3 hr nap(lol I take long naps), or when I am not trying to hard at it. Whenever I try to have an OBE it doesnt happen, but then when I dont try it happens

mantra> as in a saying that I would repeat?

Yeah for the mantra it could be anything. I've learned you can actually summon entities (angels, demons, gods, goddesses, etc), by chanting there name while in trance, its like there signature, for example Sekhmet has come through and said she is good for helping with astral travel.

Tools for astral projection

*Create an entity- This method works for those who can do basic visualization and artists. The point is to create your own entity who will serve you in helping to consciously make it to the astral realm. Briefly, create a picture of this entity, get it on paper, and put it above your bed (on the wall). Create an intention for it (techniques for this can be found on the internet, and in many books on Amazon, in particular, "Creating Magickal Entities: A Complete Guide to Entity Creation" by David Michael Cunningham). This method is a little bit more advanced and takes a creative mind, but everyone has a creative mind. Many people who go shamanstic events and take psychedelics are stunned to see that many of the beings encountered on their "trips" were created by their own mind sometime in their life.

Interesting, an online book I downloaded a couple years ago hints to something like this by creating artificial elementals.

It is also interesting about what you said about there being many entities on the astral plane who don't know they are dead.  Before I moved to a house to rent a room, I had a dream about 3 boys who were dead and later had 2 others dreams about people that were already dead. A little while before moving from that house I realized it was in close proximity to 3 cemetaries and oddly enough the house's address numerologically totalled 19.

I've have found naps in the daytime to be more lucid at times too. When I am on the astral plane, I know it when I try to turn out lights and they don't turn off; when I don't have a reflection in mirrors; when numbers are not recongnizable on digital clocks; and in a few of them when I get the urge to walk through things, usually walls and doors (I've found how constipated I am affects whether I can do this or not); and of course when I decide to go somewhere and fly instead of walk. I am starting to notice that sleeping in weird positions kind of makes it harder to get back in my body and am now starting to wonder if this plays a role in me not leaving my body sometimes. I sometimes can anticipate going there or leaving because it feels like my head has a breeze in it. That water under the bed thing is pretty ingenius. I say so because drinking water seems to help the process for me.

Here is a website that offers a manual on OBE techniques though I haven't gotten around to reading it.

El Negro, do you have any websites or reading info you can offer about chanting???

or sleeping on a bad pillow!! I left my pillows at my aunts house when I was moving. I am using the pillows I have at home. They are the worst! I just went and got me a new pillow; my sleep was wonderful last night! I will see if by the end of this week, my dream recall increases, etc.

Thanks. I have been able to summon my spirit guides or something. I think it could have just been my higher being providing insight to me. I was able to do this by just relaxing before I went to bed and just thinking about a question and then having a response.

Great method, I do something similar. I will always say learning to go into trance is one of the best spiritual techniques to learn. I know some people also contact their guides through pendelum use, but I'm not too into that, I'd rather talk to them like I do other human beings.
