Thread: Most Straightforward Route to Astral Projection

Hi. I've got a bit of experience with LD's ( about 50 ) although have not really been practising over the last few years and very few hence. Recently I became interested in Astral Projection. I'd always thought of it as identical to LD. Didn't really hear about the controversy or the fact that it had reasonable claims to being at least a distinct experience from LD's until recently.

I want to know what is the easiest and most straightforward method to AP. I have heard having regular stable LD's first is the best way. After this it seems that one must learn to peel ones astral body from ones physical dream body using various techniques. The most common thing I hear is to have an WILD in which one has a 'false wakening' and you find yourself in bed. But rather than just say 'I'm dreaming' and messing about in the dream world, one must have a strong and intense desire to astrally project. One then begins to feel a tingling and increases this by willing it, making a conscious effort to climb out of the body ( rolling over seems to help ) trying to project ones astral self into another path of the room.

I'm not really interested in debating this. For the time being I'm accepting it on faith as fact. Just would be great to hear from people who practise this experience to give me their take on it or point me to some good links. Thanks!

Also what if I have an LD in which I am not in bed but in some other place? What do I do then.
