Hi - anyone got any advice on astral travel (out of body experience) and how to do it? Been trying for ages and can't seem to do it!

I don't know if this is the right forum for that kind of question...

I didn't know that was something you could try to do. Isn't it like a natural ability?

it may be wrong place but some people posted similar re auras etc. I am led to believe that anyone can learn to do it and that we all visit psychic plane in our sleep. You can however learn conscious awareness - just curious that's all!!!!

Hey, I'm not trying to chase you away or anything...I just thought maybe there's forums for the occult and such where you could get some detailed info. The closest I've come to an OOB experience is getting the spins when I've had a few too many...

Contact EC about her brownies. That may be as close as you can get.

there is lots of information of astral travel if you search online...it is supposed to be an innate ability that each of us can cultivate and master over time. and hokey, about LSD...I have read reports that say that LSD places you into the lower astral plane and not the higher astral planes...thanks for the reminder however (I'm sure you meant it as a support to the subject )
Anyway...I know people who have the ability naturally...many didn't even want to be doing it and it scared the crap out of them when they just awoke floating above themselves.
I think the main problem for most of us is that when we fear that it will not work, we are forcing the experiance, and fear and force and couterproductive...especially fear...
also other factors like your diet can effect your "abilities"...
you should work on meditating and developing your concentration more and astral travel should follow...thats my problem...
i can't focus...I have no attention span and my mind is like a crazy house filled with a million screaming people all at once...if I could get a sigle moment of silence I believe it would work...
I keep trying though...
and yes everyone does participate in the astral world while they are sleeping(as while as why they are awake but thats for another day)...and lucid dreaming is another "form" of this travel...again...i reccomend you do more research on the subject. there are some free online courses on some metaphisical websites you could try or books on the subject to read.... don't let people's joking or poking fun discourage you.
the brownies won't help any...marijuana doesn't make you hallucinate...(brandy i take it you don't smoke )
however there are certain "ethnogens" that are supposed to facilitate in this sort of spiritual journeying...
one called calea zacatechichi is supposed to increase our ability to lucid dream when smoked...
as well as many others which are supposed to have many different kinds of effects...
marijuana is an ethnogen as well...but not nearly as powerful or spiritually revealing as some of the 100% legal herbs that you can find on any ethnogen webite. I also reccomend you do some research into shamanism and what ehtnogen actually is...always remember that whatever you do should be done with a reverant and respectful mind however.
a good web site about ethnogens (and all mind alterring substances for that matter) is
