A few years ago I started to get really into spiritual practices like astral projection and I did it twice by accident.

I only remember one time right now but its stuck with me.

I remember I was trying to sleep and I felt myself separating from my body, and I found myself to be floating in my room, although I couldnt control it and floated away through the ceiling and roof. It felt as though I was stuck and out of control but I started seeing into hundreds of alternate lives one at a time and somehow all at once.

It felt like I was genuinely stuck in a loop, floating away from my body until i wanted to go home very badly and I heard a male voice saying my name and to come back, and it felt as if id been shoved into my body (it wasnt a voice i recognizd and it was comingfrom inside the astral plane) -

it was painful, I shot up in bed and my heart felt like it was going to explode. it had also felt like id been stuck there for hours or days and itd been about 2 hours.

Now i have a fear that if I attempt purposefully this time, ill get stuck or lost. Any advice?

(I apologize if im rambling, its 3am 😭)

So I tend to find a lot of mushrooms in areas that potentially use herbicides/pesticides, and I was wondering even if I cant eat the ones I find, can I collect the spores and eat the ones that I grow myself or do the chemicals get passed down through the spores? Might be a stupid question but im genuinely curious. Thank you!

Hihi

Ive been having a hard time shifting and staying in my DR (other than a parallel reality) for more than an hour. Im kinda at a stalemate with shifting and was curious if anyone had tips or advice.

What works/doesnt work:

Sleep paralysis/Hypnogia

Works the best, its always accidental though and havent been able to induce the states purposefully more than a couple time (not sure if theres a way to get better at that)

Any maintsteam sleep/awake method

I either pass out or lay there so long I get really bad body pains and have to roll over and sleep. They've never worked for me.

Lucid dreaming

I lucid dream nearly every night, im great at it and have been doing it since I was a kid, however when I try to apply it to shifting, the portal method always ends up in me being in another dream or waking up. I was told to intend to wake up in your DR while in lucid dreaming but not sure how its supposed to work (tried a few times to no avail)

Astral projection/void state

AP has only ever happened a few times by accident and its an exhausting experience, which I do enjoy just for floating around and stuff, but I havent done it in years. Void state is amazing but I end up just wanting to stay in that state or I forget about shifting.

The times I have shifted fully (again not counting the parallel realities) i end up shifting back because I dont ground myself to my DR fully. With the exception of one time when I chose to come back. (Or I end up somewhere random/not the same as my script)

Not too sure what I can do, but if anyone has tips or advice id really appreciate it!!!

( i use Slade's shifting v5 sub and slipping away like sand currently, meditations dont work)

Side note: I have been doing a lot of personal growth and working to improve myself in this reality lately, physically and mentally. Plus working to fix my life, making steps to get my own place, a job, etc.

As well as spiritual stuff (meditation, reading more about the things I believe in, energy work, etc.)

Edit: (regarding the bot comment) I dont have a schedule for anything, I just try whenever I feel like i have energy/motivation or I just forget about it until I accidentally get in the ideal state. Obviously not preferred, id like to be able to shift whenever I want or at the least induce my ideal state.
