View Full Version : trying to astral project again but too spooked by an expeirence i had 2 years ago

So i've been astral projecting without knowing what that feeling was as i had a good guide when i began meditating and doing "letting go" of the physical self years ago.

however two years ago, i had to be away from familiar territory for the weekend for work, and stayed in this hotel (or i was placed there i should say). Little to my knowledge back then is the empty lot i could see out of my window, was a graveyard. I did not mind, but did seem a bit cruel to have a hidden graveyard in a crowded city area, and a parking lot all around it.

anyway that night i did what most people do in a new city and went out discovering it. (not big or clever but never claimed i was either)

and then lo and behold i see someone i had been trying to locate for months, and neither email, nor phone nor anything worked as they weren't residents in that country or city either. I had wanted to speak to them about something urgent but for some reason unknown to me, or maybe pride i did not as i thought this person saw me and recognized me, it is them who should come to me after the awkward way they left.

anyway due to pride issues and well being less mature i did not speak to them that night. all normal. until i got back to my hotel room.

now i'm usually not spooked by ghosts, but that night whatever energy was there was angry and sad to the point it creeped me.

before i went to sleep i always let go of my body while still awake so i can see what our normal two eyes, and everyday mind won't show us.

that night i did that, first i saw this woman that was wearing what i understand the dead of the people the cemetry is for wear, and she was doing this weird creepy dance in circles around herself (i don't know if it was a dance but that's what i'll call it)

then i decided to let all this go and sleep, or i though i was sleeping but in the "dream" i was in the exact place i was sleeping in that night, and two women spirits may have been knocking on my door and crying wanting me to open. now it doesn't sound scary the way i said it, but i was the biggest scary cat you'll ever see that night! i also had goosebumps and any hair on my body was standing up. i never felt scared from these things before until that night. I thought they were angry that i had a chance not many people have and i may have blown some greater good or something that was supposed to happen. I don't know.

the next day i asked around what that empty lot i could see out of my window was and though most people who worked there smiled and said either building or parking as if they did not understand, the people who knew the area told me it was a cemetery. I used google maps later on, and surely enough it was a place where the dead are meant to rest, and i think i may have spoiled rest of some of them that night.

BACK to now, as i said i never had trouble with feeling my self get out of my body, but now as soon as the trip starts and i feel the body and the "spirit" body i have getting far away from each other, i quickly panic and wake myself up. that's not fun.

So does anyone what that whole cemetry thing really is? and what can i do to over come this fear i didn't have until that day? Thank you.

all i can suggest is clear your space energetically, own your space with strong intent and authority.

Look up EFT (tapping therapy) it works like magic for getting rid of the feeling of fear....honestly!

The astral realms are tricky. Use discernment hanging out there :)

Many fears while out of body are self generated. Many others have to do with outside influence. Either way, It is natural. The Astral can be a frightening place. I wish that I could help you with the Cemetery scenerio.

My advice would be to push through. You DO have control of your fears. I tend to let my fears get the best of me while out of body too. you must relax into the sensations and go with the flow. No physical harm can come to you while out of body, and any other emotional trauma can be dealt with. Your higher self will not dish out more than you can take.

I would not let your experience with the cemetery stop you from any further explorations. You have to take into consideration that your creative process is in full swing, and you can 'project' physical earth life belief systems into the Astral. (and vice verse) I have had thousands of fully conscience exit projections, and I can tell you that great fear still pops up now and again. Fear has layers, like ogres. ;)

Jake's advice is good. Fear combined with the astral is NOT going to be a pleasant experience. One of the first lessons working there, if you are drawn to that, will be to master your emotions. Wishing you peace and tranqulity!

I have had similar experiences when I feel myslef leave my physical body I usually float up into my ceiling. Sometimes I turn back around and see myself lying in my bed and get scared. Then I am immediately back in my body and I feel extremely drained with a slight headache as if I have a slight hang over. Has anyone ever astral traveled and been blocked from seeing something. There are times I want to see something and then I can't. It is either blurred or blanked out. I wonder if this is something that I am doing out of fear or is something else blocking me because I am not ready to see certain things?

Thanks. Exactly mastering emotions is all that is important. So well saied..
It also sounds so simple, but it is not - or at least wasn't for me :o
I needed about 25 years to overcome a simple fear. And when I finally did, I couldn't stop asking myself - Well, what took you so long?
And you just gave me the shortest explanation possible :cool:

Astral is not the place to hang out at all. You need protection when you are there. There are many worlds within worlds in the astral.
Try to find the Golden Temple Of Wisdom. A safe refuge. The astral is a place to dispose of your dross (karma). If you have dross you cannot continue onto the higther planes. Astral is a good place to work our karma as you do not have the expense of having to work it out in the body and on the body (accidents) etc. Every time you dream you enter the astral.

This is a temporary place, much like a bus station to take you to a far better place.

thanks all, NYce555 what you experienced was probably Ethereal projection, as for the rest others can help you better.

I never had that fear until that night, I always believed that when dead , the life energy is still there just in a different way, so nothing to be scared from. But after that did not want to go through that stage where you are not in control of your body for a few minutes.

was hoping someone can explain why those seemed so real, and gave me the "chills" like never before, and why they left such a depressed mood in the room.

Other than that, thanks Jake, because of your words i already feel good enough to try again next time i have a few hours to myself!
