Yay! I did it!!

[Captain Tanaka]

I finally Astral Projected last night! It was actually at 2 AM, and I was out for 45 mins, but when I stirred a little, I felt my soul, not my body. I then willed it to leave my body, and I felt myself float for a few mins! I heard wind howling, and I could "feel" myself lifting up. I am so proud of myself, and I will master it to become an expert! This just affirms me to keep training, and I will get it. Heck, I can already move a square of aluminum!

Hi, congratulations! It took me some time to do it the first time(only time, been under a lot of stress, relaxing now), but yeah I know what you mean about feeling yourself lifting up. It's a funny feeling to be out of the body.

cool then maybe you could help me out tanaka! could you post your technique.

[Captain Tanaka]

Ok, here's my technique!

I start by lying down in bed, before I go to sleep (to ensure I have plenty of time to do it). I then relax my entire body, part-by-part. You can do that, by imagining a blue light "scanning" your body, and relaxing it as it does. By the time by body feels "melted" into the bed, I begin to focus on my breathing. I use it to clear my mind of ALL distractions. At some point, I begin to imagine myself as a ghostly being, and lifting out of my body, to an up-right position above my physical self. This techniqe can take some time, but it's the main one I use. I recommend reading [you]Astral Voyages[/you] by Dr. Bruce Goldberg for more 'advanced' techniques. It's dedicated soley to Astral Projection, and can be seen as a sort of "Bible" for anyone attempting to grow spiritually.
