  • I just did it again, my body was so still, even my breathing wasn't making my chest move, then I started seeing swirling in the darkness of when you have your eyes closed. All of a sudden my eyeballs underneath my eyelids started going a million miles per second and then there was this loud high pitched ringing noise and I started to see the swirls come into focus and turned into what seemed to be my wall in my room, but I got so freaked out again and was way too afraid to continue.

  • Holy shit, I was laying down on my bed with my eyes closed in a complete calm trance for about an hour and suddenly my computer and desk started coming into view to my right from where I was laying, as if I was laying next to myself to my right off the bed. Everything was blurry in a dark blue color and it felt like I was on ecstacy, I got so freaked out and scared, I immediately snapped out of it. It was fucking amazing. Don't doubt, this is actually very real and I can't wait to try it again.

  • good tut thanx

    

  • I think I did it! While still feeling my pillows around me, I went to a tall building and placed myself on the ceiling's carvings. Fist I was frightened to fall but then I knew this is OBE. I decided to test my capabilities on that stage. I got up and while hovering, I could see these brilliant orangish/gold colors, break walls, coffee table on the floor, some plants .. , I started flying around add I could. I than got scared and decided this is enough and came back to my body. Was that OBE?

  • Thank you VERY MUCH ! for sharing your knowledge and experiences with us !

    Bless you !

  • I have out of body experiences every week. It's not as fun as you may think it might be. I have nasty nightmares at the same time as my spirit is leaving my body. It is really tough to control your vision at this state.

  • what is the goal of this?

  • Why dont one of yous who knows how to obe should go to the red kachina- nubiru thats approaching and let us here on comment what it looks like up close! do it for everyone!

  • I had 2 out of body experiences more than 20 years ago and was around the same time- since then I find it hard to experience it again. I must try this technique you have again.

  • His voice is badass.

  • where is robin?

  • I keep falling asleep. I also can't find a perfect guided meditation for astral projection, not just memory travelings.

    I am about ready to give up1!! :(

  • @Blexxor12 Try open focus training as this gets you into a good state of relaxation.

  • @peterpaulparker Its more of i cant get to the state of vibrations :(

  • @Blexxor12 i get to the vibrationz without even trying just lay down in bed straight on your back take a deep breath hold it for 5 seconds or so and let out of mouth slowly then breath normally till your breaths get smaller than repeat youll feel it trust me.

  • @FanBoy277 Yeah like, I will get to the point where my breathing is like almost nothing is required to breathe... I just have never reached the vibrational state.

  • @Blexxor12 well breath through your stomach not your chest take 2 deep breaths use the breaths wisely trust me just breath u will get to the vibrations my friends said it works so just try it

  • @FanBoy277 hey how do you get past the vibrational stage and separate? that's were I fail every time thanks

  • @Decrypted33 i dont know im still researching myself lol i fall asleep when i try to exit body, search this on youtube (lucid dreaming 101).

  • @ifithurtsgo2church HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH BEST COMMENT IVE SEEN ON YOUTUBE.

  • voices and seeing demons?

    Fuck it, I'm not going to try this anymore

  • @ifithurtsgo2church hahahahahaha!

  • I find this information very enlightening, focusing solely on breathing and letting the mind flow without control overt thought patterns. I did this and my mind visualized a car rolling over and I literally felt the obe after this so called tingly sensation happens. Wind of the Soul could you please send me a detailed message on positions and thought patterns as well as the transition into obe from the tingle state this is where i experience most of my trouble, greatly appreciated.

  • what happens if im astral projecting and someone tries to talk to my physical body???

  • listening to music helps, because if you're concentrating on the music you mind doesn't dose off; making this a whole lot easier.

  • @96aromaz when i did this i also felt an illusion that i was controlling the lyrics and music of the songs!

  • Just recently I had a dream, that I was falin asleep in my sleep, then I relizzed I was awake I got realy tingly and then stiff at this point a didn't know what astro projection was so I panict then I opened my eyes and I was back and awake I met somone and he tolled me all about it and then I reasearched and found techniques, I've now startex to fall asleep but be still awake then I would feel like I'm faling back then id get realy tingly bbut be awakenn by a shock,how do I get past this state?

  • @logan13244 yeah me too, I was super close like you then got seemingly shocked and woke up...could you send me a message detailed explaining what you speaking of and how to get past that point? please and thank you I could really use the help, I've been trying to achieve it for some time after the experience but my mind just wanders helplessly sometimes. Also your body position

  • my problem is fear... its what stops me from continuing the out of body.. but the other video said "i must close my eyes"

  • @dave000dzee i know what u mean i sometimes have fallen asleep and woken up sweating, dont do this to often

  • for those that know what vibrations feel like alredy....the best time to induce them is when you are naturally dozing off....usually like when u stilll have shit goign on in the day or night and you shake off the sleepiness....THAT is when i can induce them effortlessly EVERY TIME. but this is what works for me. i learned it when i was practicing a sleep deprivation technique to induce them. now i dont think "go to sleep" in that state of mind, i think "vibrational state" calm and detached.

  • smoke weed.

  • @PaTZi300 no, dont smoke cannabis. you must have clarity of mind. i nevr have OBE;s when i get high. EVER. always SOBER...this guys just being a dork. but weed IS cool, but dont expect to even dream very often, let alone get into vibrations for astral projection if u are smoking ganj.

  • Good prodcast. Back in Tibet monastery, we would astral Project our selves once a year. But you have to be careful an also know the negative part about it mostly: Don't do/ use your OBE will constantly or More than 3 time a year, unless of course your the delay Lama hehe, but the point is for you beginners out there, is good to train, but NEVER attempt to over so any body science matter.. Don't really want to tell you what could happen..

  • i looked this up because i hav been having OFB experiences. today i saw myself as a girl walking down a strange hall almost like a school hall but im not sure. i dont know what to do it happens alot too while im sleeping. i belive in god, im catholic and im not sure if "astroprojection" is against my religion i dont know what to do someone help me... please

  • @650chendogg drop the religion, keep all the good morals that it teaches. besides being taught about god from parents, or learning in church about god, why do you believe that he exists? what exactly lets you know that he is there?

  • @tangTF2 you can't drop religion if people like you keep talking about it

  • @650chendogg why should anything be against any religion? Let what happens happen and accept whatever sounds about right. that is why i love Buddhism!

  • I'm a dishwasher :D

  • I used to astral project on a regular basis until I was told it was wrong. By who?I have no idea but at the point of separation I heard a distinct voice tell me not to ever do it.

  • As someone who has had 3 out of body experiences,conscious!,.....i am hear to advise you,.......if a video looks like bollocks then it very probably is!,.....and if they are coming on mystical and flogging a book,.....then buyer,....fucking beware!

  • This is stupid! You're just lucid dreaming!

  • @JoelsufBass Then I do that 24/7...

  • @Menddraeda The level of your stupidity...I don't even know how to properly respond...Congrats, as I assume that was your intention.

    But if it wasn't, then A:Why the fuck are you astral travelling to youtube to write comments, B: do you believe, as is the foundational belief of OBE's, that you are viewing the physical world when you OBE? If so, read up on the subject, it's well researched that you're full of shit.And if not, what differs between what you experience and a lucid dream?

  • @JoelsufBass Well. I kinda do believe it and I kinda don't.. Some of the facts make sense but the others do not. And i'm 13 so yes my level of stupidity is EXTREAMLY high. So yes. But it can be real or it can't. Due to the fact of my stupidity why am I talking to maybe a 21 year old man?

  • @Menddraeda

    Clearly you aren't stupid. You are young and therefore havent got the experience of older people. And 21 isn't that old. I'm 25 now and keep learning new things everyday. My mind is always changing. There are so many ideas and thoughts that influence me. I hope you to will always try to improve as a person. Be the best you can be, not for others but for yourself! Greetings from the Netherlands

  • @JoelsufBass that is the point

  • Comment removed

  • Just the other night I was attempting to atral project . I got to the point where i was in total relaxation . I felt deep vibration. At that point i was trying to come out of my body. I tried sitting up... (i guess the vibrations) I tried but went back down. I then turned to my right hand. I did the same thing and indeed, i raised my hand up. No, I didnt physically raise my hand up, BUT I FELT it. If i had been alone i would have tried harder to fully project. I need practice.

  • great video thanks

  • Thanks....your voice is very easy to listen to :)

  • too bad a drug addict who needs drugs to fall asleep will never be able to achieve this. I can't reach this point without severe sleep deprivation.

  • @Clockninja OK! so now that we all know yuh are a drug adict what's next , are you now going to distrubute some drugs to us or what's up? just letting yuh know my choice is weed, I case you have some for us the youtubees

  • @teeggarscott weed...

  • youtube.com/user/QHealing?feat­ure=mhee#p/u/3/5K3-MtyC_YI

  • @sonic619760 to the point the vibrations become faint, you should prepare your mind as to avoid these helucinations. your mind is where you take it at that point, good luck! I wish to experience it soon but I was too afraid because it hit me suddenly one day scaring the crap out of me. So I can't help but bring up ilusions. understanding will reduce the fear.

  • @sonic619760 Yeah, thats what you want to do. I'm not sure about the fast heart beat, personally I've never noticed a shift. in the passed year I've had SP about eight times. I didn;t understand it at first and almost always saw something I didn't want to :/ you have it right in the sense you should keep your mind occupied to let your body fall asleep. That vibration is the beggining, when you feel that close your eyes and focus on something, ex breath or heartbeat. When it cools down

  • Yeah, thats what you want to do. I'm not sure about the fast heart beat, personally I've never noticed a shift. in the passed year I've had SP about eight times.

  • i cant do it :'-(

  • Ive never had an actual OBE but I've been close multiple times

  • dont know if its a obe but ive had moments where my mind awakens while my body is still asleep. Its been hapening for about a year now every other month. Usually because i hear someone in my room moving around or standing next to my bed watching me sleep.. the image is always gray colored and the thing because it is definitely not human freaks me the hell out..i always fight my way out of that paralysis because it seems toooo real.

  • @B3h3aded This is the same event thats brought me to this video... it's called sleep paralysis. Astral projection can be achieved. I'm current;y trying to learn how to induce it so I can practice. try it with your eyes closed.. Hilucinations will come and almost always shape fear because of that unfamiliar vibration feeling which can be uncomfortable. try closing your eyes until the audible halucinations stop. then the vibration will ease, open your eyes. and step out

  • @miketarno Im trying also. Im not sure if this means anything, but last night while relaxing trying to get into sleep paralysis, I felt my heart started beating faster and felt my body slowly becoming numb.

  • This is really nothing that some really good weed can accomplish.

  • Had my first OBE this morning, I used the "Forced Falling Asleep" method and it really worked. I did it right as soon as I woke up. Go to obe4u.com for a free e-book on Out of Body techniques and so forth. I am not advertising, it is completely free.

  • I watch this video, got my soul out of my body, went to the states, wooped chuck norris with my twinki finger, stole his holy cookies and got back!

  • lets say i do get out of my body dose my heart stop do i come back to my body what happens ?

  • @mazdaman1982 your body goes into a sleep state. and if u get scared u get snapped back to your physical body.. u need to relax and jus enjoy the experience. some claim that they feel refreshed like they have had a really good sleep.

  • @codeXenigma i feel like my spirit needs a break from this body this is why i want to do this .

  • I've always had trouble with seperation last night I had my first OBE

  • i had surgery done to my penis when i was 5 to get circumsized, as they did it..I was hovering and saw myself on the table with them all operating on me, I went in at 19 for an endoscopy and same thing happened again...im going in for nose surgery to fix a deviated septum and get turbinates reduced....im 32 now...does anyone think Ill have another out of body experiece...I dont like these for I feel its my time to go when this happens. Anyone else here have same experiences?

  • @ChilloutSessionZ if it does, spend time observing your light body. your soul is jus trying to protect u from trauma and will pull u back in when it feels u r safe.

  • It sounds like a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle telling you how to have an Outer Body Experience! LOL

  • you what a REAL!!!!!! O.B.E. (Out of Body Experience)...........Smoke some Salvia Divorium

  • Your grammar is shocking .

  • irritatinglilpryk You did not have a out of body experience , message me for advice or any questions that need truthfully answering

  • Ok Ok Ok , out of body expierences dont start with people flying like most of the comments say.

    Out of body experiences are not funny , exciting or any other cheerful things , they can be described as interesting and unusual.

    I myself has had 3, one when i was 6 , the next when i was 9 and just last night .

    I can answer your questions i have first hand experience , i do not claim to have been out of my body i clam to have been paralysed for 7mintes whilst i lay in my bed , for more message me

  • @Elitegamingpresents Stop acting big, you don't know anything about Astral Projection or an Out of Body Experience if you can't tell the difference between sleep paralysis and the previous. Don't even think about spurning out some shite about how you were awake so it's not sleep paralysis either, because sleep paralysis includes waking up with the sensation of constriction. do one

  • @Elitegamingpresents P.s. Stop bullshitting youtube about OBE's... no one gives a shit about your personal life you sewer rat

  • yesterday, Friday about 3:30pm, why whole body has been numb, vibrating and hard to get up! and please, don't think i'm joking, im dead serious right now...so, is this the symptoms for this astral thing?

  • What about "spontanious uncontrollable out of body experiences". I have had uncrontrolable OBE's for years "only when I lay down to go to sleep". I don't know why and I don't know what to do about it.

  • I'm intrigued because I see faces and three-dimension shapes when I am sleeping lightly. I have had sensations of floating and traveling above in a starry sky. Could this be astro projection? Or travel to another dimension?

  • I had two OBE's. One time, I just shut my eyes. I felt like I was traveling through space at warp speeds. Scared me and I opened my eyes. Other time, I felt like I was above the ground. Then I was falling towards the ground and I saw the dirt and grass in detail. When I tried to understand what I was seeing, I opened my eyes and it all stopped. It has been years since I saw those images. I am not sure how I got to see them at all. Would like to do it again to find out the truth.

  • silly people... OBE ftw fuck religion :)

  • Why are there so many crude comments? Do children visit the site?

  • @chris103050 no, people who cant appreciate things. dont they know the saying "if you dont agree with it dont say anything" or "if you have nothing good to say dont say anything at all?"

  • Comment removed

  • omg, you ppl are pathetic..why are you here if you are going to do nothing but exploit this entire subject!! "suck jesus' dick", c'mon now, what were you raised by wolves...grow up!

  • Comment removed

  • No one can define reality. Sooo STFU OR GTFO

  • @863jose u know that for sure? i see multiple realitys everyday

  • @fNiLoss okay so can you briefly define for me Life and Reality. but in your own words please :)

  • @phuketsigel Dude. The narrator kinda sounds like Ken Kaniff sometimes....

  • @phuketsigel why don't you just let hinnies1 alone? he was mearley stating his opinion you don't have to go on a rage and tell him off i mean really? i'm on hinnies side so God bless!

  • @luva4life23 If we're going to innocently state opinions...

    an it harm none, do what ye will.

  • @phuketsigel lol, i can only laugh...all i can say is years 4rm now, u'd remember saying this and asking God to forgive you, or it might be too...but i pray not, i pray u'd be in christ.

  • I picture you as batman in a cardigan

  • My problem with excepting the OOBE is that there is no proof that it isn't just a dream. I guess one way someone could prove that he is actually leaving his body would be to have someone physically write something on a piece of paper in another part of town at a specific time and have the OOBE subject go there and watch him write it then tell what he wrote after coming back to his body. If the OOBE is a reality then this test should show favorable results every time.

  • Astral projection opens you up to demonic manifestation 2 timothy 2-16 , any blank mind would be taken over by unholy spirit

  • @hinnies1

    ... Really?

  • @Germanboy567 yes don't be fooled by satan, the sad part is when people invovled in Ap get tired of this world they think of commiting sucide thinking this wonderful thing they have experienced would continue, but it;s a lie, afterlife it's either you go to heaven or Hell, and my dear reader hell is real, watch this video "Hell is real the shocking proof".

  • @hinnies1

    Oh please, satan is only real if you make him real. You're scaring yourself.

  • @Germanboy567 WELL U have been told, a word is enough 4 the wise

  • @hinnies1

    As have you, have fun with the fear mongering... I don't see how fear brings you inner peace, but so be it.

  • @Germanboy567 i tottaly agree with you

  • @sebs9500

    Thanks. Now I will agree there is some dark forces in the world, but they have literally no power over you if you are astral projecting, mainly because you are being exposed to a spiritual realm and the light. No matter how much darkness there is, one tiny light is all that is needed to thwart it away...

  • your voice puts me to sleep

  • :o u seem like u r expirienced so do u have any technuiques that u could share?

  • its like dreaming but you are conscious of what is happening in that dream its just like that!!! that is how i can explain about astral ability

  • @kmcdash21 You're describing a lucid dream...

  • i know one catalyst to experience this one but its too dangerous 50/50 life safeness...if someone wants to dare just inform me.... and be responsible for self decision making,,,

  • I really want to experience this but for some reason it never works I am 14 and can someone please explain what OBE is?

  • hi bud nice to c such young people getting into this anyway thought i would help u out obe means out of body experience 2 exsplain it in a nut shell.people have learned how to stay awake whilst your body goes to sleep then u can come out of ur body nd go wherever u wish to go.just search (astral projection )nd youll find loads of vids.cheers hope this helps wb

  • I either loose concentration or I fall asleep...

  • I am not good at meditating but found lucid dreaming helped me to become 'aware'. When I oversleep in the mornings and the household is still quiet I listen for ambient sounds such as birds or dogs outside. I find I cant move I used to fight it. I have heard some scarey stories so I am afraid to go further. I recently had a dream that I believe was telling me to look into OBEs even more, and then the other day I think I got that little further. Although I think my fear is still stopping me.

  • Sounds like i'm getting schooled by batman himself.

  • @AEIIIStraigon Haha awesome!

  • Thanks!

  • Just let yourself slip away with the vibrations tell yourself you want them louder zzzzzzz.

  • I use calming music, and as I begin to astral project then I just slightly listen to the music and it keeps me from falling asleep without having to be completely "aware"! Try it hope it helps!

  • @LAsfinest96 Mind!

  • haha he said funky...

  • @Streety101101 he said that as soon as i saw this comment,lol

  • @MrStrickendown my try was even worse. i was totally in control of my body, though all i could see in my eye lids was viabration. yeah i need help too :c

  • Can someone help me? When I'm attempting this OBE I get to sleep paralysis when my mind is awake but body asleep but can't seem to get past that can some please tell me how to pass that stage to vibration or whatever happens after that? Thanks.

  • damn i feel alseep again:/

  • how come when i tried to astral project i whent into the vibrtional stage and used the rope method but all i saw was white and then i tried again but when i tried the rope method again all i saw was the rope and all i felt was myslef in bed then i came back is it becuze im a begginer that i dont remember or did i not astral progect?

  • his voice is intense lol =P

  • Well Im fenna Try This Butt Naked

  • this is great, thanks for posting. ive been interested in spiritualism and astral travel for quite so time, but failed to suceed in my efforts coz i think i was forcing the experience, and not really being relaxed. and i have trouble escaping my mental thoughts, i really want to experince something. hopefully ill get there!

  • @superbaad13811 Spot on with the relax notion :)

    This is key to allowing you to shift focus

    Ego bound idealism is the cage of your reality and to transcend this you need to allow your mind and preconceptions to be not present

    I've got some technique on the home site if interested?

  • @DirtEagle101 Good call - I tend to wear an eye mask to be certain that I don't get wrapped up in the notion of my "eyes" as a factor. This will reduce false awakenings as well. Always just reality check to be sure :)

  • @1DreamWarrior

    I have a bad left leg that has not 100% healed even months after surgery. If I astral traveled, could I find the solution to healing?

  • @pluto4847 There is a great deal written on dream healing and it is of huge significance in lucid dream research at the moment. I will be writing an article for my monthly magazine post specifically on this in a month or two so please feel free to subscribe at the blog and it will get to you. In meanwhile I absolutely encourage you to explore this process yourself as I am sure it will yield some positive results for you R

  • Creepy Voice

  • Help I get to the Vibrration stage and then I visualise a rope. But when ever I try to open my eyes im still in my bed and I cannot project myself. Any suggestions?

  • @Starssk1ttles dont open you eyes, dont force the situation, let it happen on its own accord. he says in the video, its about becoming pysically detached and getting out of the way, so dont try to force the experience and hopefully youll experience something naturally.

  • must i wear clothing to successfully medatate ?

  • Are you taking acid?

  • You sound like a serial rapist... or batman

  • @fuckmania07 Jesus meditated. There;s nothing wrong with meditation.Actually, if you're a smart believer you should meditate to better communicate with God.It's quite hard communicating with ANYTHING just by going to church and doing the same sentence over and over for someone to forgive youyr sins.please.be open minded.your comments sound quite ignorant and foolish. Look for God... don't just be afraid of everything that you don't know... That has killed many innocent people in the past....

  • can i astral project at 12years old ? because i really want to experience it , i don't have any fear of it. but I tried it yesterday and i just couldn't go on vibartion mode.i think i was distracted too much . i tried meditating but it was my first time meditating so i don't know .but what's the easiest way to astral project ? please answer.

  • @memenadia Everybody can astral project, it is actually easier the younger you are. It takes practice though, the first couple of times you will get scared because the vibrations can get a little scary, but you get used to it after a while. You should look up Astralboobaby on youtube, his channel is all about astral projection. :) Namaste.

  • @astralshift17 thankks so much for replying. I appreciate that.

    And I'll practice as much as I can. I'm gonna look up that channel :)

  • There is a lot of debate on this subject, one side employing scientific deduction and the other conjecturous hiersay. Though there is a subjective experience to be had by the participant of these episodes and I can offer my own there is very drafted mathematical biological equivalent episodes concurrently occuring, the same mechanisms we use to dream and observe our waking reality.

    Where is the debate guys, its all simple biology!!??

  • You sound like Batman.

  • @airsoftkid1996

    I fucking love you. xD

  • @NinjaaJakeyy Hahah thanks bro.

  • Proof is probably an over rated commodity so I hear your point of view but we must, by the same token be able to offer some kind of contextual platform of discussion that adheres to some kind of consistent frame of reference which stipulates the need for some kind of model based reality which can be impartially observed by various independent observers. Otherwise we lend our views to no more than conjecturous hiersay so experience albeit wonderful is not a credible platform to explore on

  • Jetfly444 why didn't u do lottery numbers???

  • Can anyone prove this stuff

  • @kkaminskijd everybody is so bent out on "proof" what the hell is "proof"? some "official" telling you that its true. if you want proof just experience try it....i do not care if you do not believe if its true or not...but all i can say is if you do experience ....it will change your life....we dont know shit about our own power and what were capable of. people have been having these experiences since the beginning of civlization....why else would people indulge in rituals?

  • @kkaminskijd or why would somebody spend hours everyday meditating? because of what they experience when they do these things....in the west we look at these things as weird...other places spiritual experiences are completely normal .....the west believes in "blind faith" , ancient eastern and esoterics philosiphies believe in "faith through experience"....which one sounds more practical and correct?

  • hmm it's all in your mind.

  • Not to sound too controversial but mind - brain paradigm would seem to tell us that wonderful albeit, this state of altered consciousness, it is simply a pyschological experience generated by our complex neurochemical body mass which in turn creates the awareness of consciousness - no magic here folks but a wonderful trick of the mind that simply needs a little understanding. The neurodynamics of lucid dreaming is well versed in modern science.....

  • @1DreamWarrior whether one would deem this as a simple mind trick or a spirtual supernatural experience doesnt really matter....even if it is a mind trick is it not absolutely amazing that our brains can do that? does it not make you so inspired and intrigued that one could experience such a thing.....doesnt matter if its a trick or not if everything i have experienced has just been a brain trick than all reality is a brain trick...which it really kinda is

  • its mostly a matter of keeping your mind awake as your body falls asleep. I've had times when I didn't experience it for months at a time, but now it happens a few times a week. and @funkrhythmus, I too have felt "demons" sometimes during sleep paralysis. it feels like something is biting or squeezing my body, and is very unpleasant, but I'm usually able to break free quite easily.

  • Its also called sleep paralasyis. I know this i have done alot of research on it as i have experinced quite often since i was a child. It has always scared the heck out of me and i forced my self out of that state. only till recently did i kjnow what it really is. Now i have ahrd time getting back to that state to play with it. I fear ill never be able to get it back since i fought it for so many years. its been 2 years now since i have fallen in that state.
