Re! After my post, I took Google to search "astral humming noise" and found a lot. And I found one that particulary express what I happened to me. It is weird because I never thought doing a search about that special night and today I'm reading people relating similar experiences.

Anyway if I never searched about it is because I don't beleive it really. I guess if it was true and that people could easily reproduce it then it would be so phenomenal that all media would have gone crazy about this. Same for telekinesis. If only one people on earth was able to move a glass on a table using only his mind then tons of TV camera and reporters would have let us know and a lot of studies would begin on him..

Anyway, it was interesting to read about it. The best description I found is:

""It was a night at 2-3 am where I was sleeping while lying on my back and all of a sudden I woke up with the humming pitchy noise like a siren or something (really loud and quite scary combined with the paralysis) flooding all my body and I couldn't move anything. I tried hard to regain control and regained it a bit later on when I tried opening my eyes and moving the fingers.""

Except I was no lying on my back. I was on side and all I recall is that I tried to move from sleeping on the side position to on back position. What happened is that I was like splitted in half. Like if a part of me had started to move in order to take the new position whereas the other part not. I got paralysed with a terrible loud humming, buzz sound. I was scared and try to get out of this paralysis. Like when you try to smash a door by 3-4 times. (Those who remember the Take on me videoclip from A-Ha where the guy try to get out of the cartoon life). Then I woke up. And I was sleeping again a few minutes later.

This would have been better explained in french (that's why I earlier said I would not relate my story here) but I hope you could understand part of it anyway.

Sounds like what happens to me during a migraine.

I read a lot about astral projection a while ago, but never got it to 'work.' Granted, I've never had a very successful meditation in the traditional sense, either.

(Out of Body Experience) I had one of these one time when i went to the dentist. I know this sounds weird, but what happened was they gassed me too much i think cause ive never been that high before and i passed out. Then when i opened my eyes, i was looking down at myself in the chair. The dentist was doin somethin in my mouth. i got bored of watchin him so i kinda looked around and saw other people in thier chairs being worked on. The whole time i felt like i was somewhat in control of everything i did, but i also kinda felt really really light, like if a gust of wind came up id be blown away. I felt real stoned too, but not laughy type, just real mellow and calm. Then before i was thrown back in my body, i kida floated around the room in circles, but kinda fast. I vividly remember what it felt like and what i saw. I kept doing barrel rolls and flips, then i was kida sucked real hard back into my body. I woke up and barely remembered it and thought nothing of it. It didnt really hit me what happened until like 3 days later when i remembered it. Its really cool stuff and im into it.

I think astral projection is all in my head....the trick is to keep it OUT of my mind.

Simplified:
I believe that my soul is anchored within my physical body and joined to the earth via my root or Muladhara chakra. Extinding from the root through the crown of my head and out through the Sahasrara chakra is an energy channel or nadi that connects with the greater consiousness of all other soul-possessing beings. The sensation of opening this channel and aligning the chakras opens a 'window' of sorts. Reaching this 'window' induces feelings of clarity or 'having it all figured out.' I've seen a number of postings here that describe the sensation, and I interpret what i'm feeling as having many of the same properties. Calm, relaxed, feelings of well-being and above all a feeling of connection to what is on the other side of the window.

Visually (if it can even be described as that) the window initially looks like the residue that hangs in the air after a flash bulb goes off. There's a scientific name for it which escapes me, but its also believed to the origin of what people describe as 'a tunnel of light' in near death experiences. Its sort of bright spot that floats in front of my 'vision.' Once I've achieved the level of meditation necessary to able to 'see' the window, there are a number of different directions I can choose to go...one of which is what I believe we're describing as 'astral travel.'

By slipping my consiousness through the 'window' the sensation is much like traveling quickly through a tube (or tunnel). The sensation of movement (or travel) is quite strong, and has on a very few occassions been disconcerting. It's difficult to descibe -- though most often fairly pleasant. But movement itself is generally not the goal. Stepping out of the stream at the right moment opens quite different meditative experiences.

The biggest challenge for me feels a little like blind juggling. A myriad of things need to occur simultainiously to keep the sensation going, but if my ego (my 'thinking' mind) intervenes or interupts everything grinds to a halt. Having the discipline of mind to repress my ego for extended periods of time is what I'm currently working on in both my meditation and hatha practice.

The experiences I've had to this point have been wildly intriguing. I understand that when I see or talk with someone I know is dead, or talk with or have physical contact with another 'person' also traveling the tube that these sensations are, naturally, 'all in my mind.' The question is, are they in any one else's mind as well.

Afterward, the experience is much like a dream upon waking...strong at first, then gently fading. I must conciously pick and choose what I want to take from the experience before it completely fades away...and even then, sometimes I'm left with only the vagues of feelings that something spectacular has occurred, but not being able to quite put my finger on what (its that 'on-the-tip--of-my-tongue feeling' I get when trying to recount a particularrly vivid dream that I can't quite seem to remember.)

The astral plane is not so unreachable as most people think. Its the place we all go to pray or worship. Its the place we go when we got lost in a piece of music or loose all track of time during particularly strenuous exersise. The ability to navigate, to move and to retain what you experience has been the pursuit of yogis, monks, priests and mystics since the beginning of time.

Next time you're there, look for me...I'll be holding the yellow flag

Namaste,

anything is possible. and rarely is anything all that it first appears to be. and one should never doubt what nobody is sure about...

i think the stars in the sky our in my brain...just at different times.

when your looking at star constelations does it remind you of molocules?

furthermore if photons (light particles) are the smallest perceivable particle to our human bodies whats to say their isn't universes unfolding in every direction we can't see.

i think astral stuff is as real as sum one makes it to be becuase when people say its all in your head they are exactly right! EVERYTHING WE CAN POSSIBLY IMAGINE is all in our heads...becuase anything that can't find its way into our brain can't be conceived of.

reality is perception. some people can leave their bodies and travel places with their spirit while others simply never go anywhere becuase to them its all in their head...while others take a car to wendies when they feel like 99 cents nuggets

i have expierenced this very much so at times when i least expected it. i think it has alot to do with the unconscious minds abilities...

we only use 10% of our brain science says so whats the other 90% capable of?

i have left personaly expierenced many astral visions(if thats what they woudld be called)...where my eyes could see things they couldn't ordinarely before... usualy at school often during study hall i willl have my head down resting then and just fidgetting trying to kill time when all the sudden i could see my legs through the table and my closed eyes...(whether it was imagined or seen with my eyes is unimportant becuase my vision of my feet matched their exact location it was so weird)...then from their i usualy go on to view out of other peoples eyes...i have seen through the eyes of fellow students...at 1 time the camera in my school...possibly through the eyes of my cats...

this stuff is for real...although i don't have alot of conscious control when i get a good one goin i can literaly see things as clear as i see myself typing now...

so i dunno if thats considered astral or not, but unfortunately it is not something i could consciously just make happen nor would i wish to be able to control consciously...for i think power of such is a bit to much.

also i have had out of body expierences some realy weak, but others like i actualy completely left it.

if you can believe it its possible...anything is possible...and science is just another religion

good post thegoat

ChronicMasta

ejay i thoguth exactly like u...

PM me if u wanan know what it is.. i'm sure most who have tried what i talk about know what it is.

but astral projection i feel is in your mind.... but damn i am so blown away by how complex reality really is... its like my third eye has opened.. lol

I posted in General Topics a while ago asking people to post about paranormal activities that they have experienced and someone mentioned astral projection. I wanted to know what it was, and was amazed to learn so much. I studied and menditated for a while, and managed to be "aware" of my astral body, but had trouble breaking free fully.

I joined several postboards relating to the subject, and the use of marijuana whilst attempting astral projection always recieved a negative feedback. So, once I started smoking again, I thought it safer to leave projecting for a while, although I would be interested to hear stoners' side of the story too!

thegoat, you are refering to a skill linked with astral projection called remote viewing. This is, as you mentioned, when you use your third eye to view areas from a position outside of your body.

As for proof of astral travel, I guess you'd have to somehow meet with someone on the astral plane, then contact each other in the physical world. LOL! Handing out astral flyers with marijuana.com or your email address sound like a good idea?

I've discovered too that one of my best friends can astrally project at will, and yet he doesn't understand it at all, whereas I can't do it properly yet and know loads about the topic. Like the student being better than the teacher yet still needing tutition.

Anyway, I think it's a fascinating subject, and hope this post continues!
