so um i saw on a site that you could be possessed while you astral project. I really wanna try this i have tried before and felt pressure on my chest so i think i was starting on it but if you can get posessed while doing this then fuck that i;m not gonna do it.
so can this happen
and could you share some techniques and maybe tips?
I'm sure the pressure on your chest was simply a hallucination caused by sleep paralysis, or the onset of sleep paralysis. As for being possessed, I can't confirm nor deny it, but I personally don't believe it's possible. IMO the astral plane is just in your mind, but many people believe otherwise. It depends on who you ask.
Yup what you see and experience in the astral plane depends on your perception, I feel that the astral plane doesn't depend on our personal mind. You can be possessed because it's like leaving a car on , with the doors open :P. ¿How likely is it to happen? I have no clue.Quote:

Learn to practice psychic self defense before experimenting with something like astral projection. There are lots of techniques, one meditation in particular that seems to work the best is called the Tower of Light. If you have a strong aura, then nothing will be able to possess you. Always do your research before dabbling in the unknown, or you might find yourself in over your head. Even if you do not become possessed, you may notice shadow beings and dark spirits beginning to take notice of you more...but only if you have a weak aura and no psychic self defense.
Here's a good book for anyone who plans to experiment with the astral plane, or anyone who is in need of general information about psychic self defense.

Tower of Light
This exercise is a form of passive psychic self-defense and involves active meditation using visualization. It is easy to do and should be done two or three times a day, at least in the early morning and before going to bed at night. The exercise takes only a few minutes as a minimum but can be done as long as desired. The exercise is quite safe and can be done as many times during the day as desired. With practice, the visualization is more easily performed and can be called upon in an emergency when needed. Each step of this exercise serves an important function and should not be omitted.
The Tower of Light Exercise.
Protection against psychic attack
1. Stand erect, feet shoulder-width, arms at your sides, breathing evenly and deeply.
2. Progressively relax your entire body starting from the top of your head working slowly down to the bottoms of your feet.
3. Mentally visualize that you are surrounded by a long ellipsoid of intense, bright blue light that extends 9 inches outwardly from every point on the surface of your body.
4. Continue to maintain this image and visualize a globe of brilliant white light above (but not touching) your head. The globe is inside of your bright blue aura.
5. Concentrate on this bright white globe so that it becomes brighter, glowing white like burning magnesium.
6. Keep both images of the bright blue aura and the brilliant white globe and mentally aspire to the highest standards of morality, good, and love that you can.
7. Next, feel the white globe showering you with glittering white light filled with silver sparkles. This white light should permeate your entire being, coursing vibrantly through you.
8. The outer shell of your aura should be an intense bright blue filled with the vibrant, sparkling white light. Concentrate on this complete image as long as you can, fully believing in its reality. Feel your outer auric shell as a hard, sharply defined blue as you feel blissful and alert.
9. As you close, let the image fade slowly while believing that it is not fading from reality.
cani uh do the tower of light lying down???? or do i need to stand up and so if i like do this alot and astral project successfully i should be pretty good and god loves me he protects me a lot from getting hurt i have almost gotten hurt really bad a lot but i never really have and i do believe it is god saving me from getting hurt so would that help too?
and can the tower of light just be good for you in general not just for protection against possession??
ok so i kinda did the tower of light thing but i was sitting down and when i did it welll...... it was a good feeling i can still feel it my head seemed to be lifting up and i could feel a good moralish ( for lack of a better term) energy rushing through my body and i only did this for like a minute but even now i can still feel that great feeling/ energy coursing through my body
is this what you have experienced doing this???
so i aquiana commented on my posessed in APing post and told me about the tower of light meditation technique and it said it would build up my aura thing and i tried it and it felt really good and i kinda felt like really protected in a way
so is this how its supposed to go and can i do that lying down
You didn't need to make a separate thread for it to ask that.
well can u answer my questions at least
yes but only if you call it lilo of light ;)Quote:

Astral Projection is a completely natural thing and it can be scary, but with a positive attitude there is nothing to be afraid of. :)
Going off of what Trethe said, I don't think you have anything to worry about possession during astral projection. Your astral body is connected to your physical body by a golden chord during projection, so its impossible to be completely separated from your body. Since you are always connected to your physical body during astral projection, it is unlikely that any being can take the place of you inside your own body since you're still connected to it. Different spiritual techniques/magick would have the potential to leave you open to possession, and astral projection really is not one of them. Its still good to know and practice psychic protection though, can't go wrong with that.
Also, depending on your level of concentration and experience, any disturbances to your physical body (ie noises or interruptions) will snap you right back to your physical body. I would think that you would notice if some spirit were really trying to get into your body, and since you are still alive, then nothing can steal or occupy your body because your own consciousness already does. You're just projected outside your physical body, so you still have ownership over your body and are still connected to your body.
don't be afraid
Thats what I was going to say!Quote:

exactly. if you go into it expecting or fearing some kind of possession scenario then that is probably the vision you will create for yourself. if you are lucky though you will be able to see it is just you creating it and snap out of it like i eventually..... didQuote:

that's what they say yeah, though other intelligence can enter your body, I've experienced it first hand same with some people I know.Quote:
