I can relax my body (not enough for sleep paralysis and seeing things) easily and start to get a small tingling or vibrating sensation in my feet and hands.
Sometimes a wave-like chill (or energy) comes over me for a second and dissapears.
How close am I to reaching the vibrational state and AP?
You're very close. I'd say you're on the edge of being able to project.
Don't forget to envelop yourself in a halo of bright light to protect yourself. It's as simple as visualizing. To actually travel takes just a bit more, but you're almost there.
Do you feel fear or apprehention when you start to feel the vibration?
Thanks for the help!
I feel as if I am getting closer. A few nights ago when I tried, I felt 2 vibrational pulses in my back, every so often. I have felt the vibrational state once before, and this felt the same except in a smaller area.
I never thought of trying that bright light to protect me, infact I think that it could be one of the final steps to me going into astral projection.
I think that fear is one of the biggest things holding me back. When I was littler (about 7-9) I got exposed to some things which I have kept in my mind since I encountered them. These stuff include: scary maze game, pictures of the possessed girl in 'The Exorcist' and one of the Bloody Mary youtube videos. You could say that I wasn't a smart kid on the internet. Around the time I was exposed to these I did see help, but the thought of these still linger in my mind. I understand that they aren't real,but I heard of the existence of negative entities and feel like encountering one within my own home would remove the feeling of safety. I understand that to AP I need to overcome this fear and I am working on it.
Well, you're on the right track, but I understand where you're coming from. People like us (witches, psychics, etc.) are lucky because when we recognize these negative influences, we can use magic and our gifts to overcome our fears. Perhaps that's something you do to start.
While lying down, dig deep and listen to your inner self. It doesn't speak in words, but feelings. If you feel afraid, listen to it and trying to find out what's causing the fear. If it is those things from the past, imagine the light within your becoming fire and burning away the memory's negative impact on you.
While you're in this deeper state, you're magic should feel closer. You said in another post that you can't perform rituals out in the open. This mental state is actually great for casting spells.
I decided to do it a different way so I laid down on my side. I do not know how long I was on my side, but I felt I was relaxed. I was trying to enter the vibrational state and it seemed that I did something with my mind and I got a strange feeling. I think it was the vibrations and I was somewhat controlling them. My heartbeat (or heart chakra) went crazy fast and I felt like I couldn't move any part of my body without an effort. I had no idea what was happening so I forced my body to move and I got up. I tried again to recreate it and I couldn't.
You have the vibrational state and the paralysis down, but the key is to remain calm and focused throughout the process. Your intent was solid, and you are gradually making progress which is excellent; keep up the great work!
