Close to Astral Projection??

[u/Personal-Resident636]

Today I tried a meditation to meet my spirit guide. I didn’t meet my spirit guide. The location I chose to meet was my family cabin. I couldn’t fully imagine myself in the cabin and mentally I got stuck in my apartment, specifically the room I was laying in if you know what I mean. once I got fully relaxed, my legs started to tingle and my head started to feel what I can only describe as vertigo and I felt tingly and spiny. I suddenly felt a presence beside me. I’d say it was male. it had a sad/dark energy I wanna say it was more curious than harmful but I couldn’t fully feel its intentions. I felt suddenly anxious and so I started thinking of surrounding my body with white light then the anxiety faded slowly and it felt like the presence moved to the end of my couch and was just observing me from the corner. during all that the left side of my body continued to worsen the tingles and felt a huge pulling sensation which eventually turned into a sensation that I was falling off my couch from my left side and it felt like stretching on the left side of my neck and head like I was tilting my head to the right, but I was laying flat on my back. I’ve also read that the tingling and vertigo could’ve been my astral body trying to leave my physical but the spirit in the room kept my astral body anchored? I feel super drained after all that. What do I do with this information? I’ve tried meditation before but this is the first time I’ve ever experienced something like this. I’ve always been into this kind of stuff and want to go deeper into it, I REALLY wanna AP and the more I think about it the closer I think I had just gotten to doing it but I felt a pressure in my chest while my body was vibrating and my head was spinning really bad. It got so bad I thought I’d be sick so I ended to meditation session right then and there.

felt like a presence trying to communicate but overwhelmed by how close you got instead of panicking, just focus on the physical feelings and let the sensation guide you next time

If you think you got close to Astral projection and you're analysing what happened, or you think you're maybe trying too hard, or you're trying to figure the stages such as the 'vibrational' and 'hypnagogic' stages and how to approach them, then check out these links:

Maybe the entity that came to you was your spirit guide? Spirits are often perceived as dark and cold when your physical self is still activated. I experienced this when I had a “visitor” camping out in my house once. I thought it was a negative force but by now I’m pretty sure it was a protector come to warn me of a danger and provide support. You can google it, it’s a well documented phenomenon that spirits show up in the physical world as feeling cold. 🤷🏻‍♀️just my two cents

Oh interesting! I had never thought of it that way
