Ok im managing to leave my body quite regularly maybe around twice a week. The problem im having is not being able to see or see very well. Also finding it difficult to get anywhere further than my house or around the outside of it.

I’ve tried “clarity now” “vision on” im just not sure really how much effect it’s having. Usually I feel the vibrations roll out my body and walk into the front room with around 20% vision. Something I noticed is that I may have long hair in the astral as it looked like hair in front of my eyes, I’ve tried brushing it out of the way with my hand which worked once. Most my experiences last around 30 seconds to a minute. On the occasion Ive been able to see vividly and get outside of my house, i can’t seem to find a way to go anywhere else. I’ve tried calling to my guides/higher self but no one comes. I’ve tried to open a portal but nothing happens. But most of the time im partially blind trying to make the experience more vivid and end up ending the experience because of it. How can I change this? I do smoke weed, wondering if this maybe anything to do with it?

Ok so I really struggled with getting the technique right. Tried every method going. E mesh. Meth pipe. Geek vape with the sai taf and the sai taf plus. In the end Ive settled for a glass tornado bong and was getting it right consistently. Works for my friend everytime but for me if it’s not the perfect temperature it just gives me weird effects where I get no CEV etc. and just feel disoriented.

Anyway the last 4 times I tried it in the bong it didn’t work. Think it was getting too hot but had me questioning if I had been banned. Took a few hits at the end of the day and got it to work. I’ve bought some herbs to make changa and im hoping this will be easier to get right. I got blue lotus, damiana, mulelin, passionflower. Harmala extract. Peppermint oil what ratio should I do of each herb.

My next question is about breakthroughs. I had quite a few sub breakthrough experiences until one time when I relaxed into it and it hit me like a train. Was very humbling. Felt like I broke my brain. I couldn’t process anything and had my eyes open but was like I wasn’t seeing through my eyes if this makes sense. this female goddess like entity paralysed me after this snake thing connected to my forehead and felt like I got sucked out my body into some scary void. Showed me some quite unsettling things I had to ask her to stop when I could finally speak. After that the vibe changed back to nice colours and felt like she helped me release some tension in my back. Im not sure how much I put in at the time. I didn’t have scales back then but after the failed attempts let’s just say I put more than enough. I could feel this weird feeling in my third eye for like i week after like it was aching after what she did to me.
I’ve done 50mg and just had closed eyes visuals and still been here. But then I’ve done 30mg and blast off. Ive had a few positive experiences since then. But mostly now seems to be entity contact when it works. Like alien writing very surreal feeling almost alien abduction like. It has the same sort of theme as what I call my breakthrough. But not as intense as im worried about pushing it that far again. Now I was certain that what I had that time was a breakthrough. It was unexpected and didn’t feel like DMT anymore or what I had been used to. But then I saw someone else explaining a similar thing and everyone in the comments was saying this isn’t a breakthrough. Now im confused. Like do you push past the point of breaking your brain and not being able to understand if you’re dead or alive? Ive not seen a physical waiting room. Or had any OBE’s from my experiences. It’s just very much like as soon as I take a decent pull. I feel like a space/time warp and it’s like the entities come through it. Some feel friendly some don’t. This is also making worried about using an MAOI I don’t wanna have an intense bad trip for half an hour but I’ve heard people say an MAOI makes the transition smoother and the trip feel calmer?

Ok, I have been having sleep paralysis all my life, used to be a few times a week and somehow never had an OBE by accident. Maybe because I wasn’t aware of astral projection in general. im now 34 and have been practising for just under a year. Everytime I would wake up in paralysis ( a lot less frequently than when I was younger maybe once per month now) I would attempt to separate. The separation part has now become easy for me but I always seem to be blind/partially blind. I had a full vivid OBE where I was able to walk around my block and see some people who couldn’t see me. Another when I was on holiday and I flew down from the hotel balcony and walked up to the beach then back. Trouble is I couldn’t rely on waking up in paralysis and I can never be sure when it would occur etc. since then Ive been practising. I’ve been able to reach separation from wakefulness multiple times. Everytime I separate im still blind. I’ve tried “clarity now” “vision on” etc and maybe it helps to some extent but I find it hard to build it to a full vivid OBE. I can move around i start in my room and can get outside occasionally but it’s always around my house. And when I do get outside it’s like I can never get far without losing connection. How can I stabilise the OBE more efficiently. And how can I get to other places further than my house. I’ve tried intention. I just can’t seem to leave my immediate area? I don’t see portals or things like that in my OBEs

Ok so a little context. Ive just turned 34. A little under a year ago i went through a spiritual awakening during a shroom trip.. When it happened it felt like electrical energy surging through my whole body and into my third eye. Followed by imagery of ancient cultures and glyphs. I kept hearing things in my head and I heard the word yoga over and over. After it happened i was experiencing crazy synchronicities for weeks. Until it kind of faded out. Previous to this I would say I’ve been spiritually numb. Im not sensitive to energy. Had a bad back for years which affects my posture. Experienced my fair share of trauma. Had no religious beliefs and kind of looked at things like, once your dead your gone. I had never meditated previous to the awakening but had a strong desire after to start meditating etc.

Started meditating. Wasn’t sure if I was doing it right. I have aphantasia so im unable to visualise. Tried various breathwork guides. Frequencies etc but didn’t feel as if it was doing anything. I tried to reach the same states again on shrooms but couldn’t get there again. Followed by a few bad experiences and haven’t done them for months now. Still kept up the meditation and would say I have a clearer mind. Can see through all the illusion but still unable to feel my chakras or energy.

Recently Ive been experimenting with DMT. When I take it my whole body vibrates started from the crown. I can feel my body and energy so differently. I can control it to an extent and feel like I can feel it vibrating through my whole nervous system. I can’t help feeling like why can’t it feel my body like this normally? It’s like I should be able to but cant. It’s relieved a lot of knots and tension in my back and I’ve felt a big improvement overall. Also Ive been seeing an osteopath for my posture so probably a mix of everything.

Sometimes when Ive been driving lately it’s like I get a small tingle up my back that would last a second or two. Once or twice it moved up to the crown. Only lasted a few seconds and was pleasant. Like a weak orgasm but not sexual. I was wondering if this is energy being able to pass through a blockage briefly.

The other night I was listening to kundalini frequencies. I did some yoga and stretching and a little bit of humming a mantra. Meditated for a bit but didn’t feel much. I layed down later that night to watch the football and I started noticing the same tingling coming from my root chakra. It was kind of radiating out in waves but stopping above my knees and under my ribs. It felt nice and a little more intense than I felt before. I went to bed and managed to have like 10 OBE’s back to back from wakefulness Ive been practicing that also for a while and have had previous OBEs with WBTB method but this was the first time from wake, and most successful attempts in one night. I ended the session and got up to make a drink. When I stood up the tingle from my pelvis spread through my whole body to the tips of my toes and fingers and my crown. Felt so good and lasted for like 10-15 seconds.

Yesterday I tried to repeat it but didn’t feel no energy or anything, but then today I came home and had an afternoon session listening to theta waves. Didn’t reach projection as work called me, so I went to work, as im driving I started feeling the tingle but stayed around my crown. Was coming and going. Low intensity but lasted for about 5-10mins. Is this a sign im doing the right things? Is this what I should be looking out for? Does this sound like I’ve unblocked or partially unblocked some chakras? Im unable to choose when it happens. Or control it. But this is really the only time I feel like I’ve made some progress without the aid of psychadelics.

Sorry I know there is a lot to read and appreciate anyone taking the time to read it. I guess I just want confirmation that what I’m doing is working.

Honestly I thought I maybe immune to this stuff, or have a really high tolerance. I must have done it over 30 times now, a lot of learning. Only around 5 times have I reached a point where the trip feels stronger than shrooms. And only once have I broken through.

Thought maybe I was unable to see these entities everyone talks about untill the breakthrough. Felt like I was having a nice relaxing trip until something intercepted it. Felt very powerful and commanded respect. Made me feel like I’ve fucked up in life. Made me feel like, “you wanted to know if this was real? Now you know!” Got angry, i apologised profusely. Then it felt happier and gave me my sanity back. Felt like an alien abduction. Was paralysed and was scary asf. Asked if she could help me, then what I call the jellies. Basically like see through plasma like beings lifted up my arm and I felt a lot of tension release from my upper back. And escape through my arm as a white light., then like a flash of trauma felt like it got released then I cried a little. Probably the most scariest experience of my life. All with open eyes.

This is the thing thats freaking me out a little, I’ve had some run ins with police in the past. I was younger and dumber. This was 7-8 years ago and I have changed my life since then. But I went through some pretty bad shit and think maybe I have some ptsd from it. But I can’t say for sure it’s ptsd, as it doesnt affect me day to day and generally I don’t think about it much anymore. Until recently.

I started taking shrooms around a year ago. Had loads of good trips almost felt like I was immune to bad trips, experienced an awakening/ ego death during a 5g closed eye trip and after I felt the call to go deeper and try DMT. Took a big pull. Closed my eyes and could see what looked like some sort of library with data like scenes or pathways it was all twisting in on itself it almost looked like them fidget spinners but impossible geometrics looked like I was seeing into either past present or the future. Then I saw 4 entities, looked more like faceless manikins that were red and yellow. it wasn’t clear and was more as it was wearing off but one of them turned itself into a police car and it weirded me out and ever since then I’ve experienced it almost everytime I’ve done shrooms or DMT. I was using shrooms maybe once or twice a month but since that hit, I’ve tried them maybe 3 times. Every time has resulted in me watching police cars like a photo realistic scene going through my head with like disorientated blue lights flash through my third eye and the colours of the stripes on the side of the cars all through the trip. For like 3-4 hours. Uncomfortable as fuck and just left waiting for it to wear off. Has made me take a break and is making me think twice about taking them again all together.

With the DMT it’s a little different. Whenever I take a hit that actually works it’s like I start seeing the jellies moving around the room. That’s how I know it’s working. Then if I look into the energy field it’s like I can see police cars and other normal cars and kind of see flashes of a number plate i cant read. Almost like a traffic scene playing out and looping. As it intensifies or I take another hit I can kind of get past it. But had another flash of it when I met the powerful feminine energy. I’ve tried asking for an answer to what this means during my trips but to no success. Obviously I’ve only experienced one breakthrough but it has definitely made me think twice about going for the breakthrough again. I feel good on low doses and deeply relaxed and definitely don’t want to disrespect it either after the last encounter. But I feel like I don’t have the wonderful crazy trips that everybody talks about any time I do it. As in I don’t leave my body. It’s more like the same trip and theme over and over where im just observing With small breaks of beauty in between. I want to be able to experience this to its full potential.

I just don’t know what to make of it all. Could this be trauma I wasn’t aware I had? A warning of what lies ahead? Or just my mind playing tricks on me, Im not doing anything wrong and have sorted my life out. I feel good. I just feel like it’s such a strange thing for my mind to show me. It never occurs during dreams or nightmares just doesn’t seem like a normal thing to pull from my subconscious and repeat over and over.

Ok so around a year ago I’ve had a spiritual awakening on shrooms. Intense energy that felt like it was flowing through my spine i had to hold onto the wall to ground myself it felt so powerful. I received downloads and was guided towards meditation and yoga, before this happened I never believed in anything spiritual, happened by accident.

I’ve been meditating daily for around the last 6 months. I don’t do it in lotus position, but I’ll do 10mins here and there throughout the day. I clear my mind of thoughts and close my eyes and just be present. I also lay down and do it before bed and the other night i managed to reach the mind awake body asleep stage, also I’ve had a couple of astral projections from sleep paralysis but not been able to manage it from wakefulness as of yet. Im not doing a yoga practice, but do a lot of stretching and different positions as I’ve had a back injury and feel like I’m twisted or my posture is off im not sure. I’ve just started seeing an osteopath hoping to resolve the problem once and for all.

I need some help with what to do next. Im not sure im meditating properly, im unable to visualise as I have aphantasia, although im able to dream, project, see some hypo imagery as im falling asleep but I can’t make an image appear behind my eyes at will if that makes sense. Also when I meditate I don’t feel energy flowing and I’ve just got this feeling like I must have some chakra blockages, maybe from trauma which I have suppressed im not sure. Also im wondering if a back injury could affect chakras? What I want to know is how to open them effectively. I’ve tried frequencies but don’t feel like it’s helped. I have used dmt but have had mixed experiences, the last one scared me a little and made me aware of some trauma I have, but a few times I’ve felt like my third eye is glowing and working when I’ve done dmt. Some pressure in my third eye randomly without the use of psychs but thats about it in terms of sensation. theres so much information i just want to make sure im doing things right.

Apologies if this isn’t well written I’ve just tried putting in words as well as I could without running it through ai.

Ok so I am 34 years old. When I was younger from around 18 I used to go out drinking every weekend take cocaine so looking back i was probably quite sleep deprived. I would say I was experiencing sleep paralysis at least once a week. I always found it scary, shadow people and voices in the room with me. I once had a voice that sounded demonic shout ‘BITCH!’ In my ear. And was never a pleasant experience. Mainly involved me trying to force myself out of it as fast as possible.

Just under a year ago I tried magic mushrooms. Done them a few times and I went through a spiritual awakening I won’t go into it here but it was pretty profound and since then I’ve been looking deeper and I am aware I am a spiritual being.

I started meditation. (Not sure im doing it right) but as I have a bad back I try to meditate for 10-20mins during the day and also before I go to sleep as I lay down. Also been wanting to do yoga. But do a lot of stretching with my back problems so guess that it’s kind of similar?

Anyway. I’ve been trying to project with some success.
But it’s so inconsistent it can be frustrating.
These are my experiences as of now. I should have noted dates and stuff which im going to start doing but for now I’ll just guess roughly when these projections happened. Also I’ve read the book illusion of method in which I feel has helped me be able to project.

First time I would say a few months ago. I’ve had some attempts during paralysis before then but couldn’t manage to separate. This time I woke up in paralysis/vibrational state managed to roll out. I was standing in my bedroom and noticed the dresser was a little different. One side of my vision was blurry. Felt laggy. Tried to get out of the door which was closed but I couldn’t work out how to open it. Felt myself be pulled back. Projection over.

Few nights after that. Paralysis again. Managed to sit up but felt like I couldn’t separate my astral legs from my actual legs. Tried to pull myself out but failed.

Went on holiday 27th of April. Birthday was the 30th and I had a few drinks. Maybe that helps me project, not that I want to rely on that as im not really a drinker.
That night I went into the vibrational state around 4 times with 2 successful projections.
First time I left my body i was in the hotel room on the second floor. Went out to the balcony and floated down to the street. Walked to the end of the street to the beach, had a little look around then walked back to the hotel. I saw two men walking towards the beach as I was walking back towards the hotel, said hi, both acknowledged me and then I jumped/flew towards the balcony they both cheered as I did. Projection over.
Second one I wasn’t in the hotel and was in a building I didn’t recognise, walked through the wall onto like a bridge/street but felt like as I got further away the signal got weaker and became blurrier untill it collapsed. Think this may have been a lucid dream and not a projection as it wasn’t as vivid.

Few weeks ago was at home. Woke up in vibrational state and separated. Was blind, repeated in my mind i command myself to see. Let me have vision. Walked away from my body still blind and became clearer the further away I got. I went out the back and walked round the side of the building. Was light rain and I could feel it. For a minute I thought I was sleep walking or something as it felt so real. I saw pink and yellow flowers in the garden which I don’t have. Walked outside saw a kid playing on the grass. Walked in the opposite direction to her. Saw a man on the back of his truck doing something, I called out to him but he couldn’t see me or hear me. Carried on walking and saw an elderly couple walking their dog, called out again but still couldn’t be seen or heard. Even tried the dog but didn’t seem to notice me either. Walked back home. Projection over.

Thats it for now but what I’m struggling with is every night I go to bed i go with the intention of projection. I try keep my mind awake whilst body falls asleep. Listening to the ringing in my ears. Some nights it feels louder than others. But never do I feel the vibrational state before I fall asleep. I sometimes wake up during the night. Try wbtb method but fall asleep. I come home from work and lay down for an hour or two to try to project. End up falling asleep. I know I can do it through paralysis but it seems like it’s random and rarer than before. Like I can’t force it to happen. The times I’ve projected have been short and I want to be able to explore more. Fall asleep on my back which used to trigger it almost everytime. Now im waking up on my back still but with no successful projection. Most of the times I don’t even remember my dreams. I smoke weed so that might not help. Also I’ll add i cant make pictures appear with my eyes closed. But I can imagine what something looks like even though im staring at blackness if that makes sense.

If someone could help me I’d really appreciate it. Thanks for reading, sorry if it’s a little long!
