It's more or less a waiting game but does require upwards of 45-60 mins to reach the vibrations stage (your experiences may vary). Depending on how you meditate could also affect this. Since you were meditating in bed, here are some other tips to help you move past just simply meditating and progress on.

  • Make yourself slightly uncomfortable, be it laying in a different position, or even placing a board under your heels. You'll need to be in a slight discomfort to help keep your mind active enough not to fall asleep and to continue past just meditating.

  • Counting out breaths, mantras, or even focusing on belly breathing or your breath, in general, are great ways to keep your brain active enough.

  • Wear loose clothing, undo belts, and don't completely cover your self with heavy blankets. Light blankets are okay but you don't want to trick your brain into thinking its bed time.

  • Propping yourself up to a 45° in bed is a good idea as well.

  • Also tensing muscle groups then releasing, over the entire body, before meditation, trance work, or an AP session are great to do as well.

    What you should notice as you progress along to an astral projection:

  1. Eventual loss of sensation to hands, feet, and limbs. The chest and head are usually last to "go." This tends to feel like a metal blanket being pulled over you.

  2. Vibrations or Sleep Paralysis come next. Generally, limbs are unable to be moved and it might be difficult to breathe deeply (don't panic, you'll be fine, shallow breathing is expected). Vibrations feel like low (or sometimes high) intensity energy surging through parts or all of your body†.

  3. From this point, wait for vibrations to pass, you may then either experience 3D darkness (where all senses shut off) or you could move into astral sight††.

  4. In either event, once you've reached step three, exit techniques can now be applied to "leave" your body. There are many different techniques but the best ones deal with motion, climbing ropes or ladders, thinking of roller coasters, etc.

    These are the basic steps of reaching an astral projection. I haven't completed one yet but I've been studying, practicing, and meditating on a regular basis. I've linked a book below that has been a huge help in understanding what to expect and how to go about completing an AP, I highly recommend it. This link here will also link to other comments I've made on other posts with other tips, suggestions, and even YouTubers that can help explain. Good Luck!

    † - Author Robert Bruce describes the vibrations stage as your energy double being created from the physical double as it takes a lot of energy to get this energy double ready to astral project.

    †† - Recently, I tried some light trance work from Robert Bruce's book, "Astral Dynamics." I set myself up in a seated position, as suggested, and focused on belly breathing, with a 22 min timer (as I had other things to do). I went through the motions taught in the book and began noticing sensations of my previous astral sessions, heavy warm body, vibrations forming in my arms & legs. Eventually, the darkness behind my eyes started to go away and was replaced by bright white. This was odd to me because I had made the room relatively dark for 11:30 am. I could have sworn I started to see objects out in the distance in this new white light behind my closed eye lids. Eventually, my meditation music kicked off due to WiFi issues and I had thought my alarm went off. I then ended my session and was surprised to see my room wasn't any brighter. From the looks of it, I may have been on the verge of astral sight and possibly an exit.

If you start with fear you will always have fear. So work on reducing your fear and increasing your confidence. You can view it as an entertaining distraction. Or you can view it as a means of exploring consciousness and spirituality. Ultimately there is nothing that can harm you. You can get the crap scared out of you. But if you don't overcome the fear you'll never have the good experiences.

Ignore everything you ever "learned" from horror movies. This is not Nightmare on Elm Street or Dreamscape. I don't remember hearing anyone mention fear when attempting from within a lucid dream. And the only "freaky" part is when you're in transition when you are attempting the direct method (from laying down and going directly into AP by passing through the vibrational state. It's easy to get a feeling of fear just before you leave the body with this method, kind of like the fear of jumping off a high point, aka vertigo. But that's the main fear in the learning process. And it's much easier to wake up than it is to stay in the experience so don't even worry about it.

If you haven't already read it start here: Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming. You are already able to lucid dream but this will increase your knowledge of how it works so you can do it more purposefully and apply it to AP.

Also, keep a dream journal. This helps with increasing your recall. Just put the date and write down what your dream was. Start writing as soon as you wake up. It only takes two minutes. But it's good to keep your journal or notebook and pen by your bed. You can also use it to write down what techniques you are trying and your interpretation of the steps in the technique. Always try to reduce each technique to its core steps. Easier to remember that way. And when you read a book and want to remember something it recommended, write that in your journal too.

If you've never journaled before keep it as simple as possible. Bullet Journal, like bullet points, short and to the point, is a great way to get started if you have always wanted a good system for keeping a calendar and to-do list and it's also great for a dream, LP, AP log. You can use your daily notes to help keep track of your progress. Don't worry if you forget about it or don't feel like writing. It's always there for you when you need it. Good luck!

If you're less self disciplined, as I have found out I am, Robert Munroe's explorer series CD's are the ticket in my opinion. Just check out the discovery album for astral projection if that is your goal. The CD's play a hemi-sync track that is similar to bi-neural beats but the tones cause your brains hemispheres to sync up to negotiate the tones. It's very interesting and sounds different to me than a bi-neural track. Also you have to use headphones to get the effect. Tracks are about 30 minutes and Dr. Munroe talks over the track to prepare you for the steps and lessons in the track and chimes in every once in awhile to keep you focused. The duration of the exercises and the simple execution (just find a quiet spot and lay down with head phones in for 30 minutes) allowed me to actually make gains towards projection. I have not yet projected after two weeks of the explorer series but I have gotten to vibrations which is something I didn't achieve in 4 months trying to meditate on my own. Take that with a grain of salt obviously as it's my own anecdotal experience. I do believe I have a slight fear of projecting and I know that is hampering my progress.


More on the Explorer series and Dr Munroe's work can be found here.


If you have some discipline and patience this is the best way to learn the tools you'll need to be successful. It is very structured and easy to follow and has a lot of helpful tools including a bi-neural beats software that goes along with the program. I have a wife and 3 kids and a hectic life so it was harder for me to follow the structure this program requires.

Good luck with your exploration!

They're related. Check out the eight jhana states. I recommend this book Beyond Mindfulness in Plain English: An Introductory guide to Deeper States of Meditation.

Astral projection is exploration of different consciousness states. They don't have to be visual, auditory, or tactile experiences. The jhana states are more or less "feelings" but not in the perceiving sense. From personal experiences, you may feel boundless happiness, joy, peace, and love and you don't know why. You feel like you understand stuff more and you don't know why. Previously strong desires disappear and you don't know why. There is an effect without a cause.

If you ever attempt astral projection before, this state is the void or blackness at the start of your very first astral projection. It's right after the vibrational state. For me, it also occur during the transitions between consciousness states. All I know is that something happened but I can't remember it in the sense of conceptualizing it.

Don't worry, I'm fairly new myself. I've just done an insane amount of reading and have had my limited past experiences to draw on.

If your curiosity really piqued about this stuff (like mine has been) here are a few resources (these should all be free sources):

u/zeruo · 2 pointsr/AstralProjection

Here's a link to her free books: https://www.outofbodytravel.org/out-of-body-books.html

I can't say I agree with everything she writes, but there's a link to her stuff. I hope that helps.

I think the book I liked best was "We are all shadows", partly because she took like 60 pages from the book Tibetan Yoga and Secret Doctrines and made that more readily available. I was able to learn a lot.

u/Bikeazoid · 1 pointr/AstralProjection

I like this one....

https://www.amazon.com/Journeys-Out-Body-Out-Body/dp/0385008619/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1523115319&sr=8-1&keywords=robert+monroe

but it is the fist I read, within 15 pages it tels you now to. Thats all it took for me. The rest is good, but some people here say he talks too much of his own adventures, that may be true, but it's a good way to draw paralalells and know what to expect when you get better.

u/Samwise2512 · 2 pointsr/AstralProjection

Hey dude, you've just described textbook sleep paralysis symptoms, which as you say share a lot of overlap with OBE exit sensations. It might feel strange but this is a normal experience and you are not in any danger, and if you so wished this could be used as a launch pad for lucid dreams and projections. This might be worth a read...Ryan Hurd is a dream and consciousness researcher who also experiences frequent bouts of sleep paralysis himself so his perspective on it is interesting.

http://dreamstudies.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Sleep-Paralysis-Report-2010.pdf

His book "Sleep Paralysis: A Guide to Hypnagogic Visions and Visitors of the Night" may be worth a read.

u/ErisianBuddhist · 2 pointsr/AstralProjection

If you're interested, I recommend picking up a copy of Astral Dynamics. In it the author describes common phenomenon like your closed door being open when you were projecting, which he calls a "reality fluctuation".

I say to read this because it is in depth but it also has the great suggestion of how to objectively verify an experience. It's simple: just take a playing card and place it face up on a surface you can't look at normally such as the top of a book shelf or something similar. I did this (but using two cards as I still that the probability of 1 out of 52 was still too high for verification purposes) and was flabergasted when I flew back into my body, checked the cards and saw that they were the same as the ones I saw while I was projecting.

u/w33t · 2 pointsr/AstralProjection

I suggest reading this book.

https://www.amazon.com/Phase-Shattering-Illusion-Reality/dp/1500578037

I read many books on AP and tried many different techniques. This book described a method dubbed "the indirect method" that worked for me after 2 weeks of attempts.

Basically, trying to AP directly from the waking state is the hardest way to go about doing it and requires the most practice and skill. The indirect method induces AP from either a lucid dream or as soon as you wake up from sleeping.

Good luck and I hope this helps!

u/BrandoTheNinjaMaster · 2 pointsr/AstralProjection

I've read probably around 6 or so books on this.

  • Robert Monroe's trilogy:

  1. Journeys out of the body- Good book, it details his first unintentional experiences with AP and he takes a somewhat scientific approach to it.

  2. Far Journeys- Goes beyond his initial experiences and spends a lot of the book trying to help a consciousness break a reincarnation loop.

  3. Ultimate Journey: Takes his journey into what he calls the null zone and does a lot of introspective stuff. I find a lot of his books start off relatively normal and end up really far out there.

  • Astral Dynamics by Robert Bruce- Basically a guide to what to expect when you're projecting. Every detail that you think you wanted to know about and more.

  • Navigating the Out of Body Experience by Graham Nicholls- I really enjoyed this one. Tons of techniques to cater to your personal style as well as a lot of ways he reconciles what he sees with modern theoretical physics.

  • Consciousness Beyond the Body: Evidence and Reflections by Alexander De Foe- Takes a completely scientific look at AP and is written for someone who is more scientifically minded. Also it's free on Amazon
u/amoris313 · 4 pointsr/AstralProjection

This is the best book I've ever seen on the subject. If you persistently do everything he says, you will be successful.

u/Atmic · 1 pointr/AstralProjection

Absolutely. He's my favorite AP researcher/author -- very pragmatic, non dogmatic approach based on empirical evidence. I've even paid to work with him during a weekend seminar.

He has a lot of great work, but the seminal piece in my opinion is Astral Dynamics. That's a link to the 10-year revised/updated version, but the original is just fine if you run across it.

You can get a taste of his style with 'Treatise on Astral Projection', an early online work from 1994.

u/duncanrcarroll · 1 pointr/AstralProjection

I would need to ask my Chinese friends =) But I imagine it mostly comes from the book, since this illustration was (I think) produced for the book when it was published in the modern age (though I believe the original is thought to be from the 1500s.)

u/Morgoth37 · 3 pointsr/AstralProjection

I don’t think you realize just how big a question the “astral mechanics” portion of your question really is!

My recommendation: download this book from Amazon. It’s the best nuts and bolts how to book I’ve ever read.
https://www.amazon.com/Leaving-Body-D-Scott-Rogo-ebook/dp/B00316UNCU/ref=nodl_

If you like old fashioned books made of the corpses of dead trees, you can find it even cheaper.

I’m not sure “friends” is the right word. I have made allies on the astral planes, but we don’t go to Astral nightclubs or out drinking!

I’m married with a daughter, but I’m a loner by nature. I think that’s why I enjoy projecting into the future, deep space, and especially the far future. You have to be someone who can psychologically handle be completely and utterly alone. So, I don’t tend to make friends wherever I go like some people - my wife for example.

u/IS-BE · 1 pointr/AstralProjection

I just got it today!

What week are you on? :)

This is the book for anyone curious!

u/JayMandao · 1 pointr/AstralProjection

This new movie about astral projection. Thought you guys might enjoy it. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07KBB1YL2

u/loafkikl · 1 pointr/AstralProjection

All planes differ due to your vibration state/level of awareness. I think I personally have only been to the lower planes(Near Earth/Near Time.) Generally everything looks like you would expect but some things are abnormal.

In 2007 I had an experience, felt the vibrations, relaxed, rolled out of my body and drifted straight towards and out the window landing two stories down into the grass(My bedroom was'nt in a multi-story home). To me, the grass was vivid and green. It was dark where my body was but in this reality plane , it was dayish, foggy. I could feel the moisture on the blades of grass touching my hands, I could smell the grass. I looked up, and all the houses around my neighborhood had 20 foot chain link fences around the entirety of the property. I stated to myself "odd.." I took off up into the air, and all of surrounding houses blocks away had the same. At the end of each street there were these large machines, they were operating though made no noise. I went to inspect one but before I got to close i was whisked back to my body.

I concur with danwasinjapan, read Robert Monroe's books. If you want a more scientific look on Astrial travel, etc check out "my Big Toe" by Thomas Campbell. https://www.amazon.com/My-Big-TOE-Complete-Trilogy/dp/0972509461

u/firemaster24 · 2 pointsr/AstralProjection

ah. if you want an interesting book that does tell a bit about it, i'd reccommend this: http://www.amazon.com/Suddenly-Psychic-A-Skeptics-Journey/dp/1571745017 if i remember right, he talks a bit about f27 in chapter 9. just something i came across while researching the subject.

u/krankshaft79 · 2 pointsr/AstralProjection

I would recommend a book called The Phase.

The Phase: Shattering the Illusion of Reality https://www.amazon.com/dp/1500578037/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_be3Dxb9Z2967S

u/MetalliMunk · 1 pointr/AstralProjection

"Mastering Astral Projection" by Robert Bruce
I wouldn't recommend anything else. http://www.amazon.com/Mastering-Astral-Projection-Out-Body/dp/0738704679

u/justgohomealready · 2 pointsr/AstralProjection

I recommend this book, full of experiences and tales of the astral realms.

Edit: wrong link.
