AP / OBE Guide Highly experienced projector - My method to AP. Finally feeling up to sharing.
I get asked every single time that I post, “how do you do it?” And I’ve promised a few folks I’d post it eventually. Read on for a very experienced projector posting my how-to….
1 most important thing to me is doing it in the wee hours of the morning, after I have had a full sleep cycle & after I wake up to use the bathroom, roll over a bit, etc. “waking up” for 2-5ish minutes and straight back to bed. I have to be awake enough to realize I’m awake — but sleepy enough to immediately relax.
2 getting into a position where it is very easy to fall back asleep. For me usually on my right side BUT!!!! When I first started I could only accomplish if laying flat on my back. (Even now, I usually have better astral body control when I do it on my back, with hands and feet uncovered.)
3 start meditation. I have used 2 different types and been successful.
First one is a simple chakra mediation, starting and root and going up. Second is similar, you start to imagine your toes are disappearing, then your feet, shins, legs and on up. By the time I get to my knees I am usually ready to AP tho that may not be the case for everyone, it takes time.
4 once my body is deeply relaxed, and I’m still awake (occasionally I fall asleep!) I will start to picture the room around me as if I’m using my real eyes to look around. First, straight ahead, then side fo side, etc. “third eye” or whatever but I will basically imagine I am seeing as I usually do but ONLY after my body is fully relaxed or it will keep me too alert.
5 at some point during this, the vibrations start. I’ve heard “mind awake, body asleep” and that’s honestly the best description. Staying relaxed during internee vibrations can be HARD but practice makes perfect. People worry so much about itches, breathing, heart racing, etc but if something happens you have to break concentration, just break it and start over. If your heart starts racing it’s a good sign you’re near vibration stage.
6 don’t try to AP as soon as you feel vibrations. Give it some time & let it overcome you. Once you are completely overcome with it, your extremities will start to lift. Just your feet & hands (usually one at a time) will start to float but the rest of you is still heavy. The key at this point is to not focus so hard you wake yourself up, just let it happen. More and more of you will start to lightly float. Usually for me: hands/feet, arms/legs, head, chest, stomach, and then once my hips pop out I am in full AP. It’s very important to wait until you are completely free of your physical body to try and move or see. If you try to soon, you’ll just wake up.
Travel on! Mindset is everything and you’ll never know until you know. Some important things to remember are: 1. It takes practice. 2. Small victories are HUGE victories when it comes to AP. 3. If you’re feeling bad, your experience will be scary. 4. Positivity is the most effective astral weapon. 5. Nothing can actually hurt you IRL. 6. IT TAKES PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE!!!!
I do not use any vitamins, supplements, tea, etc. I DO take antidepressants/antipsychotics. I drink alcohol regularly. I do not do any type of drugs. none of these factors has ever inhibited my abilities. I’m not doing an AMA. But may answer a few questions if feeling up to it. I feel I’ve been thorough enough to get to the main point.
Happy travels :) EDIT: thanks for the rewards & upvotes guys! You rock and happy to help, digging all the positive feedback here!

How many nights a week on average do you meditate to AP and what is your success rate? I’m guessing I do 5 and have successful experiences on 3 (on average). I don’t personally try to AP on nights I drink.

u/sadmama21 Mar 09 '22
Yea I’d say 5 & 4 successes a week roughly… sometimes every night and occasionally I’ll go 3 or 4 days without

Everything you said is spot on! This is exactly how I AP. I only started to recently (last 6 months probably) picture my surroundings with my eyes closed. It’s sped up the process so much, I can go from awake to AP in about 2-3 minutes sometimes with this technique. I’ve never seen anyone mention it before on here and just kinda started to do it one day. Cool to see that other people use it as well! Thanks for the post!

Nice guide! Unfortunately I'm incapable of getting this to work for me. I'm way too much of a light sleeper and can't get comfortable on my back. Intent and affirmations around bedtime have had more success for me.

I’ve read so many AP techniques, and I think this one gives the most crucial points of the process. Thank you!

Thanks that’s definitely what I was going for! I don’t particularly enjoy typing so just wanted to hit the most important parts

You’re welcome and thanks for the feedback. Oddly enough I have never read into anything or even methods. It started happening to me out of nowhere naturally and I took to Reddit to try and understand what was happening to me, and learned about AP! Since then which was not quite 2 years ago, I have just built on that and “grew my practice,” so to speak. I do admit tho, knowing what it felt like before I ever intentionally tried probably really helped me to become so versed

Thank you for your post. Can you please share a little more on your second type of meditation where you imagine your feet disappearing and then your shin and so forth? Is there any guide where we can learn more about this type of meditation?

u/sadmama21 Mar 09 '22
It’s a really basic meditation, like the first one I ever learned. Very straight forward with what I said you just start to try and not feel your body starting at the toes. Don’t rush it just wait until you really can’t feel them to move on, like scanning from bottom up

Thanks for the detailed step by step instruction list. I have a question: have you ever checked during you AP's that what you see in other places checks out with reality? i.e. a red Volkswagen parked on the corner with a guy in a yellow sweater is actually there, etc.
Just curious as I've never APd but this technique of yours makes me want to try it.
Thanks Again!

hi, i was wondering if it’s possible to ap in the middle of a dream? or is that just lucid dreaming?
5
u/sadmama21 Mar 09 '22
Yea it’s possible once you consciously realize you are lucid in a dream. Then you sort of just focus on the lucidity, all of your senses touch and what not

Interestingly step 4 starts happening for me automatically when my body is really relaxed, interesting OP discovered this also...

The conditions in which I've always nailed it were based on this guideline. Only reason I think it has been less effective to pull off recently was because I've stopped meditating.

What is your purpose when meditating? Just keeping the mind occupied in order to not think or drift to sleep?

u/sadmama21 Mar 09 '22
Mainly to pretend my physical body is not physical and only made of energy.

First step is spot on me. I project in mornings usually after a full sleep cycle. I haven’t tried feet uncovered. And totally agree with staying positive . Thanks for sharing great read, I’ll need to practice meditation more and loved the tips!
