Astral Projection Podcast

In my years of having out-of-body experiences I have participated in many what are often called ‘astral rescues’. Some people when they die remain stuck in a sort of trauma loop and replay time after time what happened to them until another being can get through to them to help them out of their self-made world. Some people don’t even realise they have died, often because their death has been sudden and unexpected, the following experience is one of these. I am dreaming I am in my cellar, I have recently cleared out this space and made it into a sacred space where I meditate and play my sound therapy instruments, my energy is there. However, although I call it a dream, it doesn’t really feel like a dream, I think I am already out-of-body but not very aware at first. Then I suddenly feel an energy behind me, it feels like heavy energy, and I have a hard time turning around. I try to say ‘What’s this all about?’ but it is difficult to get the words out I make a real effort then wake myself up while saying the words. I go back to sleep and find myself back in the cellar, this time I am aware and know I am out-of-body. I see a young woman with pigtails, she wants me to follow her. I go with her and fly through the little window that goes to the garden. I fly to the left and I feel a being near me who is trying to distract me from what I am doing, I push it away with a flick of my hand and arm. I find myself in a place with a young man in front of me, the name ‘Murphy’ comes to my mind, he has been killed in a bike accident but doesn’t know he has died. I try to explain so he can move on. Around him I see several dead relatives and I try to tell him to look around, that he is among people who have already died. He then points out a pizza bar where his friends are working, he tells me that his friends own the pizza place and he says ‘They are not dead so how can I be.’ I go over to the pizza bar, and the couple tell me they aren’t doing any business, they are making pizza that is not being eaten. I tell the young man to think about that, ‘Why is no one eating the pizza?’ I tell him it’s because no one in this place has a physical body so no one needs to eat, I tell him the pizza place and the couple running it are thought forms and not really there, just projections. This seems to convince him to look at the anomalies and become more aware. I don’t remember any more but I believe that once the young man started to question what was around him this helped him move on and maybe his relatives waiting for him could finally reach him. It is interesting that a being tried to stop me, there are beings that don’t want people to do this type of ‘astral work’ I believe that as more people are lifted out of their trauma so there is more light and a little less confusion. It’s possible that this being may have been the heavy energy I felt at first, this heavy negative energy can be quite scary, they use ‘scare tactics’, if this doesn’t work they may try to distract you in other ways. However, I stress, I am speaking from my own experience which may or may not be the same as other people. There is a lot of negative energy in our world at the moment, there is also a lot of positive, though we often don’t hear about it, the astral is no different, and just as we need more light here on Earth, so we need more light in the astral. Every little helps. Imagine all the negative energy that is constantly produced if someone is reliving their trauma, time and time again, stuck in a ‘trauma loop’ in the lower astral planes. I believe many people do this type of astral work even if they are not aware, every success story brings in a little more light. Thanks for reading/listening!

In an OBE a few years ago now, I remember that I was in a house, it wasn’t a modern house, more like from the fifties, I was flying near to the ceiling observing. It was sooooo real as real as it is sitting here typing. From my present point of focus in 2025 I was a future me flying near the ceiling observing a past event. Of course in the big scheme of things all is present, there is no past or future, only in our minds, but for the sake of human on Earth in my particular timeline we’ll continue. What happened in that OBE isn’t what I wish to discuss here but rather a thought I had recently while sitting in my own kitchen here in 2025. I thought that maybe there could be another me, a future me, floating near to the ceiling observing me in 2025, why not if it happened once why not again. In the OBE from the fifties I had to understand something, that OBE was necessary for me to understand something about that life in order to heal it. The thing that struck me most about the experience was just how real it felt, as real as me sitting in my own kitchen thinking well here I am this feels real too lol. The feeling of something being real is of course relative, I have experienced many OBEs where things seemed more than real and coming back to the physical seems like coming back to a flat cartoon world where loads of crazy stuff happens.Indeed it does feel like we are stuck in a loop repeating the same things, on the surface it appears that there is progress, but when we look at things honestly the progress we see externally is for the major part, technical. Advances in communication, in modern appliances etc etc, real advances  in how we live are not so evident. There is still war, excesses in some places and lack in another, the world seems as out of harmony as ever, the craziness and chaos continues. I think we need to spiral out of this loop and the first step is realising it is a loop, we are in our own version of groundhog day, if you remember the fiilm. However, I do believe like groundhog day little advances are being made, I do feel there is a lot more light coming into our world than has been, thanks to many spiritual groups and individuals who are working on helping to raise the vibration of our world, of Earth. OBEs are a wonderful way of realising there is so much more to who we are, but if there’s one thing I have learnt from my experiences is the need to also be firmly grounded on Earth, grounded in the energy of the Earth, and not simply working from our higher chakras. We need to connect our higher self to our humanness.  Thanks for reading/listening!

Dreams and OBEs are inextricably linked, when we are working on ourselves, delving into our depths, some things come up continuously over the years and you don’t really fully understand the symbolism. For years in OBEs and dreams I’ve found myself in an old villa, I would say Italian. An old stone building, overgrown and forgotten, but it is more the garden that is of interest, it is overgrown and there is a small rectangular pool, this pool has also appeared in experiences in my parents garden, a place in the astral I use as a sort of base camp. I have always called it my sacred garden. The pool is not modern but one you might find in an old Italian villa, made of stone, the water is greenish with algae, sometimes it is empty. In the experiences I always want to swim in it, though it is a bit small for proper swimming. I am reading a boot at the moment called ‘Braiding Sweetgrass’ by Robin Wall Kimmerer, yesterday it described how an elderly lady wished to return to her former home after many years, it was run down etc. There was also a part describing how the author had bought a house with a pond that needed cleaning, this could have triggered my dream, or maybe the universe conspired to create a series of feelings and events within me. Even recurring dreams are often a little different each time, sometimes showing how progress is being made, the dream may show you this progress with small signs. It is certainly worth working with dreams as I’m convinced much of our healing can be done in dreams and OBEs of course. Who knows what we have avoided having to deal with in life thanks to our dreams. A rather neglected area of our humanness I think. Anyway in the dream I had in the early hours of this particular morning there was progress in the old Italian villa saga. I am in my village in England, in the road where I was born and brought up. Originally we lived in a different house in the road and then we moved next door but one. In the dream I realise they are renovating the first house we lived in. I go round to the garden and the pool is there, they are renovating this as well, I am so happy as finally I will get to swim in it. There are a team of workers there, they are very nice and ask me what I want to do with the pool. What size do I want it? I’ve never wanted a big pool really just big enough for me to swim in it. Too big is too much maintenance and would take up too much space. When the pools were all closed a few years ago I set up a pool in my garden and swam using an elastic harness it worked a treat until winter arrived and the water was freezing so I ended up just doing cold dips. I miss my pool in the garden lol. Anyway my husband was there saying it only had to be small, but his small wasn’t the same as what I meant by small, could have symbolised a voice of restriction? The workmen are asking me what I want. I tell them it has to be long and wide enough for me to be able to swim with my elastic harness and I lay down to see my height and arm reach if doing front crawl also width for breaststroke. I then leave, a worker offers to help me up a steep step I say ‘I can manage myself but I’ll accept your help’ He gave an air of confidence and security. So now it is interesting that now the overgrown stone pool is being renovated so I can swim in it. It is also symbolic that the pool was in the garden of our first house, where I was born. The day before this dream was the 1st May, we were in spring, symbolic of new beginnings and rebirth, and I had spent most of day working in the garden. Although this podcast is called the astral projection podcast I do think it is important to stress the importance of not focusing simply on the astral realms as the goal, there are many wonderful, thought-provoking, opportunities for growth that can be experienced beyond the astral realms and also through dreaming. If we restrict our journeying to only the astral realms we are once again acting in a limited belief system like on Earth at the present time. I think we should look to always expand not just in our travels in other dimensions but also within the physical body we are presently focused in. Thanks for listening!

Hello and welcome to the Astral Projection Podcast, it’s been a long time since my last episode, where has the time gone? I really do believe that time is moving faster here in the physical plane, I can’t seem to fit in all the things I used to. In reality, time doesn’t exist, it is just something we use in order to get some sort of order in, what we perceive as, our ‘linear lives’. I have been very busy doing several courses, getting into sound therapy, reading a lot of books and of course continuing with my out-of-body experiences. However, I have missed doing my podcast so here I am. One of the courses I’ve been doing is about shamanism, I’ve always had an interest in this and many of my OBEs have definitely had a shamanic feel about them, I had a guide for a while called Shaman George, plus a bear, a wolf and a dragon as part of my ‘army’ so to speak. I thought today we could look at a few of the benefits you can enjoy when practicing astral projection/OBEs, some people may start researching and practicing it out of curiosity but the benefits of experiencing out-of-body experiences go far beyond satisfying curiosity. I always have more of a personal/spiritual growth attitude towards it, I have gained spiritual insight into many situations and experienced myself as existing far beyond the physical body grounded on Earth. 1. Exploration of the Astral Realms: One of the benefits of astral projection is obviously the opportunity to explore the astral realms. These dimensions are extremely varied, basically if you can imagine it you have the possibility of meeting it, or exploring it, the astral offers a landscape for the exploration of consciousness that transcends the limitations of the physical world. You may have encounters with other beings, visit realms that are beautiful beyond description, there are also realms that are not so inviting, the lower planes which are of a very low vibration and I do not recommend visiting these. I have been in these lower realms on several occasions but always with guides and I have never actively planned to go there. Exploration of the astral certainly opens your mind as you realise that there is much more to life than meets the eye. Astral projection transcends the limitations of time and space. Travelers may experience non-linear perceptions of time or visit locations that are distant in physical terms. This unique aspect of astral projection allows us to gain insights into the interconnectedness of past, present, and future. 2. Heightened Spiritual Awareness: Astral projection is often associated with heightened spiritual awareness. As we focus away from our physical body, we may experience a sense of oneness with the universe, we can tap into a collective consciousness that goes beyond individual identity, once in the astral we become a lot more knowledgeable than we are in the physical, our consciousness expands. This expanded awareness can often lead to profound spiritual insights and can give us a deepened sense of purpose when returning to our physical bodies. Access to Higher Wisdom: During astral projection experiences, we may encounter entities or guides that offer insights, teachings, and guidance. This access to higher wisdom can provide answers to existential questions, offer solutions to life challenges, and deepen one’s understanding of the greater mysteries of existence. 3. Self-Discovery and Personal Growth: Astral projection for me has been, and continues to be, a powerful tool for self-discovery and personal growth. As we navigate the astral realms, we may encounter symbolic representations of our subconscious mind, unresolved emotions, or aspects of ourselves that are not readily apparent in everyday life. Our higher self may create different scenarios in order to help us work through our issues. Through our astral adventures we can gain many personal insights, healing, and a greater sense of self-awareness, 4. Overcoming Fear of Death: Astral projection involves a temporary focus of consciousness away from the physical body, providing us with a unique perspective on the nature of life and death. Experiencing consciousness outside the confines of the body can lead to a profound shift in how you view death, as you realise that consciousness exists independently of the physical form. 5. Healing on the Energetic Level: Astral projection can help you heal on an energetic level, our issues, whatever they may be, are stored energetically, they are present in the energy body before they manifest in the physical body. In an OBE a while ago I was doing Reiki on my sleeping body, it was a fascinating experience. Healing in the astral is often depicted by images and sensations, words can be clumsy and not convey as much as an image or feeling. You may find yourself within a scene, which leads to insights, or you may be led to understanding by a series of actions, or events. These experiences can have

This OBE is a good example about how we can connect to others during OBEs. I had gone up to the attic to sleep at about 2am due to my husband’s snoring. In the early hours of the morning I had the following OBE. I am out-of-body and fly through the window only to suddenly hear my husband come in the room telling me not to go off flying. It’s not the first time I’ve had this sort of experience. Anyway as I hover outside the window I tell him that it’s perfectly fine why doesn’t he try it too. I go back into the room and take his hands so I am facing him outstretched arms holding both hands. I tell him to jump up in the air and that he will float so he does, then I persuade him to fly out the window with me, so we do, all the time in the same position, me in front of him holding his outstretched hands. I say, ‘There that’s not so bad is it?’ Then I say, ‘Make sure you remember this in the morning,’ I keep emphasizing, ‘Remember this in the morning.’ So in the morning while having breakfast I asked him if he had any dreams the night before, then he suddenly became enthusiastic as he recounted a dream he had. The outline of the dream is this, he was shopping for an anti-gravity device which would enable him to fly, he found one in a shop and bought it at a bargain price. The device consisted of a piece of wood that you held out in front using both hands. As he demonstrated the position I saw that it was the same one as we had used in my OBE, he said he used the device first to float then to fly. So his mind had interpreted our flying OBE into a dream about an anti-gravity device, I’ve been called a lot of things but an anti-gravity device is a new one lol. Well I suppose Ali does mean wings in Italian. This is not the first time I have met my husband out-of-body but it is the first time he has actually remembered something similar to what happened. Often I am usually flying off out of the house trying to persuade him that he can fly too. This experience has implications also regarding how we can help people even when we are asleep, and I’m not talking about helping people have out-of-body experiences but rather by giving people support. Of course, with family the connection is very strong so probably it is easier to have an influence, same with close friends, however, this doesn’t mean helping others is not impossible, given that we have their permission. The best way when out-of-body is to ask your higher self the best way to help someone with whatever problem they have, you may get shown something in a kind of vision, who knows if your higher self considers it appropriate you may even have an encounter like I did with my husband where he brought it all back as a dream. This is one reason why we must not discount dreams as not very important, we may get messages from our guides through them, even loved ones on the other side, who knows someone somewhere might be trying to teach us to fly.

From May 2016 I just love that OBE feeling, detaching from the physical is great way to get rid of stress. I become conscious after the exit, as sometimes happens, and I’m flying down the road in our neighbourhood. I look down at what I’m wearing and for some reason I’m dressed in a short black jacket and I’m carrying a wooden chair, both the jacket and the chair are heavy so I throw down the chair and take off the jacket. I think these items are symbolic of something weighing me down in the physical. Anyway once those items are discarded I become lighter, I am so happy to be OBE and experience the lightness that comes with detachment from the physical. I’m a bit too exhuberant so I calm myself down as too much emotion in the astral can cut short an experience. Checking out local areas has never interested me and I hadn’t set any intentions before sleeping which is a shame as I could have tried healing my knee, I have been experiencing some mild pain there lately. I let my higher self decide for me and it gets dark, not scary dark though, I fly very quickly just above some trees, the trees seem familiar from other experiences, it starts to get lighter and I see a young man with red hair walking on a mountainside, he’s on a trekking expedition to the top of the mountain. I stop and go up to him, he’s enjoying his walk, at the top of the mountain there’s a castle with a tremendous view. I tell him that I would have loved to accompany him but I’m out-of-body and I know my time is limited, my alarm clock will go off soon and then I’d miss the view. I tell him I’ll fly up to the top. So I fly up to the top of the mountain, go through a door into the castle, there are other people there, (no one is bothered by my flying, (in some places people are bothered by seeing someone flying and you have to tone yourself down a bit), I fly up to the highest point in the castle, I’m still inside, there’s a window through which I can see the sea, I always like views over the sea but a lady tells me that is not the spectacular view to be experienced. I then realise that the view is inside the castle and as I look down what I see is truly breathtaking but not visually, it’s breathtaking in its depth and ‘enormity of feeling’, it reminds me of Koestler’s description of what Freud calls ‘oceanic feeling’: (though this expression was originally coined by Romain Rolland). “that expansion of awareness which one experiences on occasion in an empty cathedral when eternity is looking through the window of time, and in which the self seems to dissolve like a grain of salt in a lot of water.” Aware that my alarm clock will be going off soon I leave the castle, to get out I have to go through a kind of TV screen, then through another door, others are entering as I leave. At this point I check in with my higher self to see if I can help out anywhere but it isn’t meant to be. I stay where I am, it’s truely a lovely place, different styled houses and each ecologically friendly, information enters my mind that this is where sustainable housing, farming etc is developed for the Earth before arriving as a physical concept. I receive the impression that I am looking at ideas from Earth’s future as seen from my present point as Ali Wylie on my timeline. I see a celebration going on with lots of different kinds of food carried in different containers, there’s lots of colour and happiness, they are celebrating how they have found the solution to food problems on the Earth, now everyone will have enough good healthy food. I think the spectacular view within the castle is showing how the beauty and depth we carry inside is so much more meaningful than anything we may see or experience on the outside, in our exterior worlds, this of course is nothing new in spiritual circles, but these reminders are sometimes necessary to keep us on the right path. Happy travels!

I often talk about the importance of the mind in out of body experiences, firstly to set intention, and focus on that intention and while actually out of body to remain objective and in control. I have also spoken a lot about the heart and how it can act as a strong catalyst to bring about an OBE, as if you have a strong desire to connect to the beyond this desire can pull you into the beyond, it is not just ‘want’ it is something more. It is more like an extremely strong longing to connect to something you know is present somewhere within you, the path to that something is through your heart. Combining these two aspects of who we are can create a powerful technique. Unfortunately we are used to separating everything, how we perceive the world, each other, the parts of our body, we don’t seem to be very good at unity, at least at the moment though things are changing. The heart is very powerful, I felt its power once in an OBE where I could see and feel my heart chakra like a glowing engine full of power. Imagine being able to harness this power. We all have a heart so we all have this incredible power house, we only have to learn how to ignite it. Our mind is also a powerful tool if we can learn to focus and not let it wander into the past and future beating ourselves up about the past and worrying about the future. Our point of power is the present and it is only from there that we can act. Focusing our mind on our intention to experience an OBE while feeling a strong desire to connect to the beyond is powerful and it does require effort. The desire must be felt, it must not be the idea of a desire, I have called this ‘spiritual longing’ in the past, as mentioned earlier, it is a longing to reconnect to who you truly are, to your higher self, to the divine. I don’t really like to call this a technique as the desire to reconnect to the divine is something not to be turned on and off, only to be used when we want to experience out of body travel. We should carry that feeling in our hearts as we carry on our everyday lives, who knows doing this may also have a positive effect on how we live too. We have been taught over the years to perceive the world in a particular way, we live with blinkers on without seeing wider possibilities of life on Earth. Opening ourselves up, feeling that spiritual longing, that desire to connect to the divine, combined with the power of our minds, could take us many places including on incredible out-of-body experiences. Spiritual longing is a strong desire to experience who we truly are without the blinkers of our physical reality, one of the ways to do this is through out-of-body experiences. In one of my OBEs I experienced myself as the universe, I was everything, all was present, all was peaceful, it was incredible and defies description. So let’s nurture our hearts and learn to control our minds, uniting the two, indeed uniting all our bits, so to speak. A strong desire to grow beyond this physical reality can only take you one place and that is beyond the blinkers.

Phew where does the time go, can’t believe it’s now the other side of Christmas and the days are getting longer. My OBEs went to sleep for a while now they seem to have woken up a bit. They are rather short but it is good to be out. In the first I leave my body and find myself in my garden in England I look around and fly to the end of the garden and look over to the left. There is something new and kind of new settlement, though not permanent in the sense of buildings etc and I see lots of blue lights. I am very happy as I feel there has been progress, something has evolved. The ‘people’ I say people but I don’t see anyone at first, I just get a feeling, however, the feeling that I get is that they are self-sufficient, they no longer rely on external things, not for survival of for spirituality. Everything they need is contained within. They even carry their own shelter with them, someone comes over and demonstrates how they can easily create a kind of igloo type shelter around them. A few nights later I have the following experience. It’s so good to be out and about, I love the feeling you get when you’re out there, it’s difficult to describe, a feeling of lightness, of freedom, so good to have a break from gravity lol. It’s not just that though, it’s a break from the predictability of the 3D reality. I am dreaming I am in my old bedroom in England, I am dreaming that I want to have an OBE, I am in bed. At which point I start to feel the signs that I am about to have an OBE and I become lucid, I let the gentle fizz run through my body and I get up out of it. I believe I am already in the astral probably in an astral version of my bedroom, I am lucid and it is not a lucid dream, it feels different, definitely has the OBE feel about it. I look at the window with the intent to fly through but it is all boarded up, and I feel it would take a lot of effort to go through. I decide instead to explore the house to see what wonders lie within. I float out of the room and see a figure in front of me a white, almost transparent lady, as I go towards her she kind of puffs away. I go down the stairs and I see my dad in the hall, though he has no substance, (my dad passed a while ago) I feel the figure of my dad is  residue energy, he too disappears. I fly out of a window into the garden, how wonderful it is, the garden is permeated with a joyful energy. I look up there are some autumn leaves blowing in the wind, the leaves turn into birds, it is magical. I don’t remember anymore, and soon wake up. So cool to be out and about again, though I do feel that even if we may not remember what we do at night, there is always something going on. In the last weeks I feel I have been going very deep, maybe too deep to bring anything back to be processed by the human brain. In the next OBE I am in a dream and I am very high up in a building, I get the urge to fly through the window, at that moment I become lucid and as I fly through the window I realise I am in the astral. It feels so good, I am flying very fast over a lake, I look around to decide which direction I feel like flying towards. I am sooo full of energy and I throw off my clothes to feel the energy sensations against my skin. I feel this is symbolic of throwing off earthy type energies. It feels so good I could cry, all the time I feel my energy rising. I decide to fly towards some mountains, there is a small settlement and I find myself there with a young man, I feel we know each other quite well, I tell him how I am almost bursting with energy. We walk around the settlement to the other side I see a woman maybe Chinese, then suddenly I realise a volcano has erupted and we are close to the flow the lava, the young man says he’s never been so close to lava before. Then a strange thing happens and he sort of drops into the lava, all remains is his head on top of the lava flow and I pick it up though it is not really a human shape head and it is small and inanimate. Someone says to me, ‘it’s a good job you picked up his head’. The settlement isn’t stable as I see some cliffs fall into the water a distance away and now there is the threat of a tidal wave. I know I can fly and I am just about to take off to go to higher ground and an asian looking guy grabs my arm, he is trying to help me, to stop me from being swept away by the water, he doesn’t know I can fly. Momentarily the danger passes and he lets go of my arm, at which point I head towards higher ground. I wake up.  I seem to be getting my night time focus back instead of falling into deep sleeps where I remember very little. Maybe this has to do with the days getting longer and with spring just around the corner. The wood pigeons are getting more vocal which I love, it’s a bird that has followed many of us through life though we may not have always been fully aware of its presence as I feel it is

Early this particular morning I decided to practice active listening as I have mentioned in other episodes, I put on a track to focus on and chilled into the music but not too much as to lose my focus. In the end I did go to sleep though. I’m dreaming I’m observing a kind of white corridor there are people walking down it, they are in a sorry state, some can’t even walk properly and one guy who is in a pretty bad way picks up and someone worse off than him and carries the person on his back Then, still as an observer I’m in another white corridor and below me are 3 children who are shabbily dressed and a bit dirty. I tell them from above that we have to get out of this place, at which point I realise I am dreaming, and I tell them we can go to the astral together. I set my intention and shoot up into the air intending to make an exit to the astral in the ceiling, but I can’t get through, I try again and make a round hole in the ceiling with my head, then the ceiling sort of screws round on itself so the hole becomes an oval hole. I don’t go through it as I realise that there is no ceiling above me now and I shoot up into the astral. I find myself in a lush green forest, it is so green, something white is coming towards me and as it gets closer there is a lot of writing on it though I don’t understand any of it, but I get the feeling that I have to save the world. I stand in the forest I am some sort of warrior and there is another warrior with me, we are waiting for others to join us. I have a sword and dressed in black, a bit like a samurai. I don’t remember any more than that. The thing that stands out is just how green the forest is. A samurai saving the world sounds like some sort of video game lol. Anyway even though short I am happy I managed to get out as it always gives me a feeling of something bigger, when I am back in my body after an OBE it always amazes me just how focused we are in this 3D reality, so focused that it is too easy to believe that this is the only reality and that our dramas are the only dramas. I’m sure there was a time when we were more in tune, when we saw so much more than the funnelled down version of the world that we see now, it is as if we live with horse blinkers on. It’s time to get rid of the blinkers and open our minds to something bigger, something deeper.

My journeys in the astral have taken me to many places, some beautiful beyond words, others so real they seem more real than real, others totally defy description. There are also more gloomy places, though some say all is light and love on the other side my experiences have shown me otherwise however, it is important to remember all ends in joy….sooner or later. It is no good denying these gloomy places exist, it would be like denying a part of ourselves, humanity does carry darkness within, as history tells us, as the state of our world shows us. However, helping just one person at a time out of their astral gloominess does make a difference. We may believe that the bad things that happen are external to us and nothing at all to do with us as individuals but I believe we are all connected, we are all human, probably with many other lives. We just don’t remember in the life we are presently focused all the people we are and all the things we do or do not do in this big soup of the NOW. This world is what we have created, what we are creating, it is our responsibility and we can make a difference by trying to be the best possible version of ourselves. We can try to raise our own vibration and this will have a knock on effect on the people around us, so yes our communities are important. In turn this, I believe, will also affect the astral planes as it is here our thoughts and emotions play out, this is why at times it is such a mess lol. Our thoughts are crazy and our dramas at times off the scale, causing out of control emotions and craziness. Contributing to the wellbeing of our communities will help uplift humanity. This brings me to my new activity which I am hoping to bring to my own community, it involves drum circles. In the summer I completed a drum circle facilitator course, to tell the truth I don’t remember how I even discovered the event, but I knew I had to do it. It was amazing and I discovered how drum circles can lift people up, how they can connect people in a very deep way, I had some amazing experiences. So over the summer I have been gathering together a few second hand drums and percussion instruments, I also managed to grab a few camping chairs at a decent price to take my drum circles into nature. However, I am now stuck as I need a few slightly more expensive nesting drums, which are lighter and easier to carry around, my funds are limited so I wondered how could I raise some money for the drums. I don’t like asking for money without some sort of exchange so I decided to record my book, Astral Dancer, that I could give away by way of a thank you for eventual support for this new venture. One Monday before I went on holiday, I took the plunge, I started recording around 10 am and finished early evening. It was pretty exhausting but satisfying. Over the next few weeks I edited the audio, it took longer than I expected and a few times I wondered why I had started lol. It’s amazing how long it can take to edit just 20 minutes of audio. Anyway it is completed and ready to download for those who donate to my drum fund. I have used the voice of an AI for Danny as his part, though only about 3000 words, proved too expensive to pay someone. AIs have certainly improved a lot in the last few years, he doesn’t sound too bad. I used my podcast set up so the quality is similar to what you are presently hearing. I have worked out I need about 2500 euros for the drums, once I have reached this sum I will take down this podcast episode and the option to download as this is a one off thing for the drums. Of course I am still continuing with my astral projection stuff, how could I not lol, it has brought me much wisdom over the years and has become a part of me. So if you would like to donate to my drum fund please go to astralprojectionpodcast.com and click on the Donate to my Drum fund image or you can first go to the page that describes the project in more detail. After you have donated you should be taken back to my website where there is a link to download the Astral Dancer audiobook, it lasts about 3 and a half hours. If you have any problems accessing the download let me know via the Contact page on my site and I’ll do my best to get the audio to you. Thank you in advance! 

What a nice surprise this morning, a sign things are calming down after the summer, I also think recording a quick podcast episode recently helped get my mind focused on astral projection again. I am laying in bed and I feel the usual sensations that I am in the mind awake/body asleep state, though I don’t feel as if I am me in my bedroom here in Italy, I’m someone else but still me lol, if that makes sense. I leave my body and immediately find myself in the astral. I shoot up in the air and look down, below me is a young man, roundish face and short hair, and he is also me. I feel I have his appearance. I’m so happy to be out-of-body we look at each other, we are both happy, then I fly off. I feel that I’m looking for someone or something, there is some sort of conflict going on, not a war, more an underlying conflict that needs resolving. There is a lady sitting at a desk and she is checking people through into a sort of work tunnel. I am with a group of women who are all dressed in white robes, totally covered from head to foot I don’t see their faces. The lady at the desk has dark hair and is bigger than the women, I too am bigger. In some way the lady with dark hair represents the authorities, the ones who are keeping the women under control. I tell the women that they mustn’t go and get checked in and go down the tunnel but they don’t listen they think it is the only way they can be free. The lady with dark hair becomes aware of me and doesn’t want me there, I fly off and find myself in a glass building with the lady with dark hair. I vaguely remember flying through a window into a town but the memory isn’t clear and I don’t remember any more. I often find myself inthe mind awake/body asleep state in other bodies, sometimes a version of my own as in Ali, sometimes someone else, though I think probably another me, from another life. A week or so ago I watched the film ‘Everything Everywhere All At Once’, it was a bit confusing at times, a little difficult to follow if you got distracted, but I can appreciate the concept. Thousands of universes all happening at the same time with different versions of the same people, the appearance of the different versions was always the same though they were living different types of lives, with the same people, so if I were to make a correlation it could be said that each was a probable self living a possible life on a different timeline. Seth talks about probable selves, for anyone that isn’t aware Seth is an entity channeled by Jane Roberts a while ago now. The film ‘Everything Everywhere All At Once’ is slightly different from the film ‘Cloud Atlas’ which depicts 6 different lives of the same essence, which are completely different in appearance and personality, male and femaile, so rather that probable selves they were other lives. All rather confusing, maybe I shouldn’t bring the entertainment industry into this lol however, I do believe that our films and tv often do depict certain truths though maybe a bit distorted in order to be entertaining. You just have to look at the film ‘Matrix’ and how by many it is considered a documentary rather than fiction, but we won’t go into that. So how is all this relevant to my OBE, well the films deal with how all the probable selves, or lives, can influence each other, in both negative and positive ways, I believe this is true. In some way we are in contact with ALL of who we are, for this I often wake up in the mind awake/body asleep state of other versions of the Ali me, or other people who are not the Ali me but are other mes from other lives with a different appearance. In this way we can all help each to work through our shadows, each me has different skills and abilities which we can connect with and use to lift up the total of who we are into a higher vibration. Realising this and trying to make the connection can have a knock on effect and help wake up other yous who may still be unaware of the multiplicity of life. As individuals we can help transmute any negativity that we may have caused in other lives, or as probable selves, and this in turn will help the whole of humanity out of the tunnel we have been in for a very long time. This is how important you are.

It is all too easy to forget some of the lessons we learn in the astral, this is why it is important to reflect on and write down our dreams and OBEs and on occasion reread. This summer I forgot the words of an astral traffic warden I met once in an OBE, in the UK traffic wardens are the people who fine you for parking in the wrong place. When I met her I was singing and dancing to upbeat music and she came over. I thought she was going to fine me for singing and dancing in public. However, she said that she was going to fine all the people who weren’t singing and dancing. In other words she was saying don’t forget to sing and dance in life or you may have problems. I ended the summer with a tendonitis in my left shoulder. The second half of the summer was enjoyable but a little stressful, When I’m stressed a lot of the tension goes into my shoulders usually I don’t even realise I’m doing it, dancing in the evening in the kitchen to 70s and 80s music while I’m cooking usually de-stresses my body I shake off all the days stress like my dog shakes off all the emotion we smother him with. I didn’t realise how this contributed to my wellbeing until the other evening when after boogieing a little in the kitchen there was a lot more movement in my shoulder. For half of the summer I had been too busy to partake of my kitchen disco, instead keeping all the stress in my shoulders, the body can only take so much and once home, my left shoulder had had enough and I got my ‘fine’ so to speak. The astral traffic warden experience may seem quite simple and not really one of my more memorable OBEs but the message is indeed important, don’t stop singing and dancing, allow your body the opportunity to express itself freely. Allow your self to express itself freely, in the end this is your story, you are the protagonist, only you know what you need. Remember even the simplest of out-of-body experiences can carry an important message.  

In my last episode I spoke a little about active listening, and how it can take you into the present moment. Well I decided to practise a little when I wake up during the night. I often listen to tracks when I do wake up as it helps me relax and get back to sleep. So this particular morning I wake up and put on a track called the Chakra/Brainwave Harmonizer by Jonathan and Andi Goldman, I start to listen to the music, not just hearing it and allowing myself to drop back off to sleep but actively listening to see where it takes me. After a while I realise my body has gone to sleep and I am feeling energy sensations that I recognise as the precursor to an OBE so I get up out of my body, go over to the window and fly through it. I am feeling full of energy and euphoric, my heart centre is particularly active, as I fly through the window I am surrounded by what I would describe as mist or light clouds, this is the nearest I can get to describing it. I feel so full of joy and want to connect to the Divine. Just in front of me I see a dark shadow, potentially it could have been a bit scary but I am so full of joy that I go over to it and give it a big hug, it immediately disintegrates and disappears. Some more stuff happened after but I can’t remember very well. Then I wake up. I wasn’t intending to have an OBE I just thought that I would see where active listening to this track would take me, the track starts at the Crown chakra goes down to the Root then up again and finishes on the Crown. It could be that when I had my OBE the Heart chakra track was playing, considering my heart center felt very active. It could be that I was doing some ‘shadow work’ as I did hug the shadow and it disintegrated, which is possibily demonstrating that if we hug our shadows, i.e. accept them as part of who we are and not try to hide and resist them, then our shadows will disappear. This is an example of one of the benefits of OBEs, they help us evolve, we can deal with our shadows and grow just a little bit more each time. Of course this is not the only path to evolution but it is indeed a fascinating one.

A few days ago I got back from a 6 day retreat, (drum circle retreat), on the surface this may not be connected to astral projection, however, the Universe connects everything and leads us, if we listen, to our path and to experiences that enhance our understanding of our place in the scheme of things. So this episode starts with a quote by Michael Roads “You cannot think your way into the moment. You can only think your way out of it. To listen, you have to be consciously established in the moment.” I have often spoken about the importance of the present moment and how it is our point of power, of connection with the Divine. To really be in the moment you should let go of your thinking as our thinking takes us away from the present moment into the past and future. There is an astral projection technique I call the Dream Focus Technique, where you focus on something to the exclusion of all else, if you focus for long enough the dream dissolves and you find yourself either directly in the Astral or in the mind awake/body asleep state, at least this is my own experience. To illustrate this I once left my body and decided to meditate while in the Astral. I knew I had to empty my mind of all thoughts and focus in the present moment. It wasn’t easy but I managed it and I experienced myself as the Universe, I was everything. So back to the retreat, we did an exercise where you stand in the middle of the drum circle, you have to listen to the sounds and then close your eyes, and turn to try to find your place in the circle. As I Iistened, with eyes closed, slowly turning it was as if the physical world dissolved and I had a similar feeling as the OBE mentioned before although not as intense. I was focused in the present moment as I was actively listening to the rhythm of the drum circle. I had listened myself into the present moment. The listening helps to block out thoughts and external distractions, the same as focusing in a dream dissolves the dream. I haven’t had time yet to really work on listening, the retreat was pretty intensive, I still need some time to process everything, my dreams are full of circles of rhythm and sensations. I think I need another retreat to process the first one.

Introduction I am not a monk tucked away in some quiet corner of the world where no one will disturb me, I am not someone who meditates every day, though I probably should. I usually manage to go to bed early and listen to some binaural beats, sometimes I even make it through to the end without falling asleep. I live in Italy, a pretty chaotic country for someone who was born and brought up in a quiet English village. I learnt to astral project when I had young kids so I needed techniques that I could do when I had time. My kids used to start school around 8.00am and finish around 1.00pm and that includes Saturdays. If I was going to do any communing with my self in the realms of the present moment it had to be within those times, in between all the other things I had to do. This doesn’t include, of course, the 3-month summer holidays, during which quietly communing with my self was possible only at night. I sometimes wonder how I ever managed to teach myself how to leave my body, little kids just don’t relate to ‘just sit there quietly for 20 minutes while I go and do my OBE training.’ Of course my kids grew up but the interruptions didn’t stop. I always look back at what I did, indeed what I continue to do, for astral projection is a work in progress. I continually work at it for there is always progress to be made and slacking off means fewer OBEs. I want to be brief and to the point because busy people with jobs and families need a simple, straightforward technique which can be practised anywhere and at any time. Basically, it is a system which uses normal dreams as a springboard to expand your consciousness. 1.    We All Sleep In the past when I slept was the only time I could practise any Astral Projection techniques. It was the only time really when I was completely relaxed and not usually interrupted. We all sleep so we can all use this time. If you wake up several times during the night, each time is an opportunity to practise staying awake while you fall asleep. Your consciousness must be gently present through the whole process, don’t concentrate too hard or your body will never fall asleep. However, this isn’t the technique I wanted to discuss. When I was teaching myself to OBE often exhaustion would set in, and I would fall asleep. This problem led me to look at dreams. 2.    Do You Remember Your Dreams? This is fundamental. If you don’t remember your dreams the first thing you have to do is develop your dream recall. This OBE technique relies on something we all do every night whether you remember or not. Memory is important for dreams and out-of-body experiences alike. So, to remember your dreams and develop your recall ability, it is essential to start writing down your dreams and any feelings or sensations you have during the night. This gives the message to your subconscious that you want to remember what you do at night. You may also use affirmations before you go to sleep and each time you wake up, for example, ‘I remember my dreams,’ over and over again. Take a little time each morning, just after you wake up, to sink back a little to that zone between waking and sleeping, let your dreams come floating back into your mind. If you’re new to OBEs it may be a good idea to surround yourself with Light before you go to sleep. Many people recommend this to keep away unwanted entities. To tell the truth I don’t go through this process because it has become automatic. I am fairly confident when I’m out-of-body, I have had a quite a few scary moments and overcome them. After all the negative energy I’ve blasted with Love and Light most of the annoying entities probably run a mile when they see me coming! 3.    Lost in Dreams/Lost in Life? Our consciousness is often lost in dreams, just as sometimes our consciousness is lost in life. Too often we get swept along by the chaos. Are we really consciously present in our lives 100% of the time. I know I’m not. How many times during the day do we drift off to the past or to the future, we play past events through our minds and sometimes worry about the future. How much time do we actually spend focused in the present? It is great practice to stay focused when all around us seems in chaos. Many people have said that our point of power is the present and how right they are. So, if we are not present in our lives how can we be present when we sleep, how can we be conscious in our dreams when we are not always conscious in life? 4.    Get Conscious in Life Often, we do things in an automated way because we are used to it, we have learnt how to do it so we don’t have to think about it anymore. So now we must teach ourselves to be conscious, to wake up while the body sleeps, to wake up within the chaotic life of our dreams. We must teach ourselves to be conscious within the chaos, the chaos of our physical life and our dream life. Training ourselves to be more aware in daily life will reflect in our

Lately I have been thinking about the many different places I have visited in the astral, some are wondrous and beautiful beyond words, others carry a heavy dreary type of energy and the people there feel oppressed in some way. As I mentioned in my last podcast episode I asked some people why they were living in such cramped dreary conditions when on Earth many people who have had near death experiences say that it is all light and love. As I explained I didn’t get an answer. However, maybe I did get my answer but it took time to form in my mind. Sometimes things have to be pondered and rolled over in your mind to truly understand, maybe while we are pondering things we get downloads from our guides to help us understand. At the same time fully understanding everything with our human mind I believe is an impossible task and not even necessary, I feel our intuition is probably one of our greatest tools. These places I find myself in are consensus realities, a reality that is formed because all the people in it believe in it, they create it with their thoughts, the astral is thought and feeling sensitive and like attracts like so it does make sense that people with the similar energy, thoughts and emotions should be like magnets to each other and form a reality. This of course would be true for the happier places too, even places based around a particular religion. So the separation that we experience on Earth continues. Ironically my pondering brought me back to Earth, we too live in a consensus reality, I could even ask myself the same question as I asked those people in the OBE, ‘Why do we live the way we live?’ Do we ever question the way we live, or is it so engrained in our belief system that we think this is the only reality? When we are born I’m sure we perceive the world in a different way though few of us remember, things that might have been natural for us as young children may have been programmed out of us by our system. I used to teach English in a nursery school, I remember a little girl who had drawn colours around her mother, it looked very much like an aura, the girl was 3 and this was obviously how she saw her mother. The main teacher, I was a sort of assistant, saw the picture and told the girl off saying that people didn’t have colours round them. I remember this teacher as being a bit severe, even I was a bit wary of her lol. If we are told often enough as children that something doesnt exist then we will with time block it as we feel that we are not normal. So really is our world any different from the consensus realities I visit in the astral, it may be a slowed down version, as being such a dense environment energetically things take longer to materialise. Can we too change our world by simply changing how we think and how we feel and by being more focused in the present moment rather than allowing our minds to wander into the past and the future. Imagine if our thoughts were audible, imagine the noise. In a book I’m reading at the moment called Pan and Me: Metaphysical Adventures with the Spirit of Nature by Michael Roads. This excerpt did make me laugh: “Please do not feel offended, but your approach to our level of reality has all the sounds of an aircraft leaving one of your airports. You live in a very noisy frame of reality. What you consider to be silence to us is the horrendous thunder of billions of people’s thinking gone mad.” Now that really is something to ponder. Happy travels, Ali.

I was quite happy about these 2 OBEs as they happened in a room I have never OBE’d from, place seems to be important for me I generally only leave my body in rooms I am familiar with, not always but generally this is the case. I am dreaming but suddenly wake up in my body as in the dream I feel the energy sensations and this alerts my mind, I go over to the window, the blinds on the window are white and quite thick, physically that is, I donb’t know why but I think to myself that they may be difficult to get through, however, I get through OK. I come out in a town, it is a bit dark and dreary, the town has just been through a war, and the people are busy trying to build up the town again. There are still a few tanks around that don’t seem to realise that the war has ended though they don’t seem to be doing any damage. I avoid the tanks and find myself with a group of people who are trying to rebuild the sewage system of the town. The energy is heavy. I then picked up and carried along by a strong force, it feels so good I am flying so fast, I see stars in front and a bright light, it feels wonderful. I am back in my body and I get out again. I say to my highr self, ‘take me where I need to be’ and I find myself in a town with rather cramped living conditions. I am in one of the apartments talking to 2 people, they know they are dead and I tell them I am out-of-body. (Having recently listened to a podcast where people were discussing the afterlife, and I use this term in a very loose sense as it is really just a ‘continuelife’ after we die but for ease of explanation here I’ll use afterlife, there was something on my mind. The discussion during the episode was around reported near death experiences and a lady who channels a well-known person. I don’t want to mention names as this isn’t meant as a criticism I am simply trying to understand. The main theme of the podcast episode was that when we die we all go to a marvellous place full of light and love. Given that many of my experiences are sometimes very far from this concept and I meet people who need help moving on, or people living in astral cities which leave a lot to be desired, this concept of the afterlife all being light and love for everyone doesn’t quite ring true. I cannot deny my experiences, I have had many all around this theme of people being stuck in the lower realms and I know others who do similar work in the astral. These thoughts were in my mind in this OBE.) So back to the town where people were living in cramped conditions, I am in the apartment with the 2 people who know they are dead and I ask them why they are living in such a place, on Earth people are talking about the afterlife being all light and love yet they were living in this place. Unfortunately I don’t remember anything else. So what explanation can I offer myself. Maybe the people on the podcast are only looking at one aspect of the afterlife and aren’t aware of all the more, let’s say, dreary aspects, or they want people to be positive about the afterlife so when they die they die with positive expectations, which of course does help. The higher your vibration when you die the better. Maybe the truth has to be bent for the good of some people who may be intimidated simply by knowing about the lower astral realms. We are all indeed held in light and love, there are always happy endings but if all our darkness disappears on death why do I and so may others find ourselves retrieving people from the lower astral? I am still pondering this. Happy travels!

When you have OBEs you can receive a lot of guidance about your life about our world and what goes on in it. Really you receive the guidance also if you don’t have OBEs but as we are so involved in physical life we don’t notice the messages so much. Having conscious OBEs while sleeping is a great way of maximising our time, during the day we may not be able to dedicate a great deal of time to our evolution but we can really focus on it while we sleep. The messages we receive OBE I believe have more impact on a surface level as the act of simply being out-of-body tends to give the messages more strength so they stay with us. Not sure if that makes sense. When OBE at least in my case I seem to be more detached from the physical, less involved, particularly less emotionally involved, so things seem clearer. Many of the messages are repetitive but I believe this is because we learn through repetition, I hope in the end we will learn from the repetitive events that humanity continually presents itself with, history is just repetition, the technolgy improves but the basic problems remain. Anyway a message that continually presents itself to me is the number of friends we are generally not aware of. At times I meet people in the Astral who I have known over many lives, as my consciousness is expanded when out-of-body I remember these friendships, but when I re-enter the feeling seems to take a back seat as I once again become focused in this identity. It is so good to meet up with these people when OBE there is a strong feeling of love and understanding. I think this message is especially important for people who are listening to this podcast who may feel a bit isolated in their immediate community simply because they are interested in or have out-of-body experiences. Sometimes we think it would have been easier if we had been born into a community which supported our experiences and beliefs instead of writing them off as crazy. However, I believe we chose to be spread out, you cannot help people to evolve in their thinking if you live in a community which holds the same beliefs as you do. You need to infiltrate the masses and gently get them interested in the world beyond our present 3D one. So I believe we chose to spread out. Now Internet has provided us with the means to connect wherever we are in the world, this is one of the positive things about it, it can bring people together. Who knows we may even meet people here on Earth who we have known for many lifetimes though we may not be aware of it in our 3D reality. There is one guy who makes an appearance occasionally in my OBEs, I have probably mentioned him before he looks like Gandalf and I love meeting him, we have known each other for so long, may even be another me or my higher self, but it doesn’t matter who he is as much as the feeling I have when he pops up. Complete love and understanding, a wonderful feeling!

Yesterday evening I went to my yoga class, on Wednesdays we do breathing, chants, and Yoga Nidra. While doing Yoga Nidra I felt energy sensations which were very pleasant. In the early hours of this morning I was, I suppose, dreaming that I was asleep in my old bedroom in England. I say I suppose as this often happens to me, being aware that I am asleep in my old bedroom. Houses I feel are very significant in dreams and OBEs often symbolically so. I have come to believe that my house in England represents a place where all of me can be reached, like a kind of portal. I was dragged down through a hole in the wall once to face a big cloud of negative energy so another life could be healed. I also find myself in other houses all have different feelings. Anyway, I am mind awake body asleep in my old bedroom in England and I feel the same energy sensations as the evening before at yoga. Immediately I recognise them as the precursor to an OBE, and I get up out of my body, one of my sisters is there and I tell her I’m out-of-body and just off to fly round the garden. My mum is there too, but downstairs, the house is sort of transparent and I can see her and I tell her I’m off into the garden. I feel my mum and sister could represent parts of me. My sister opens the window for me, even though I could have flown through it. I fly into the garden it feels so good as it has been a few weeks since I was out flying. I climb over the fence into a neighbours garden as I want to try a new direction. Ahead of me is a grassy pathway, it is very green and I follow it flying low. I try to focus my mind and use it to draw the the horizon to me rather than fly across the countryside. It takes a lot of effort. After this things get a bit blurry, there is more but I only remember snippets so it doesn’t really make sense. It was so good being out again, what really woke me up was recognising the energy sensations, they triggered my mind into action. So I would say that although meditation and other similar activities are not necessary to having successful OBEs they can indeed help.   Happy travels, Ali

Hello Everyone! Hope you are all well. Just getting back into the swing of things after a trip to the UK and several bank holidays back to back in Italy. It’s incredible how sometimes we may have an OBE then it completely disappears from our mind only to pop up again later on in the day. Recently I was reading a post about a friend’s OBE and I suddenly remembered that I had had one in the early hours of that day. The feeling suddenly came back to me, that feeling of being focused away from the physical body flying free. Not that I don’t like being in my physical body, but I have to admit I do get a feeling of relief, as I enjoy being a bit lighter, the human body can at times feel rather dense. I was in a place with other people who were out-of-body too, one was called Amadeus, we were chatting, but I don’t really remember what about. It was one of those experiences which was more real than real. It just felt so good to be in that place, wherever it was. Experiencing out-of-body experiences I would say helps you cope with life on Earth as you realise the trials and tribulations that we experience here are not the be all and end all. While chatting to the people I mentioned earlier, although we did mention Earth at one point, it was without emotional involvement as if it was simply something that was happening, yet we felt a bit distant from it. Ironically, I would say that OBEs often bring you back in a full circle, they bring you back to Earth to live fully as a human being. You start to go inside to discover who you truly are, you have many adventures, discover past lives, deal with negative energy, help people out where you can, talk to trees and plants, encounter all sorts of magical beings, ride dragons and meet shamans, plus sooooo much more, then you come back to who you are on Earth and realise that also humanity is a part of who you are, and has given you many experiences that you could have not have had in any other place. It had to be Earth.

This is taken from a former written post, a few years ago now, and I wanted to make it into a podcast episode as it carries quite a powerful message. However, it does contain a true and horrific story involving the Jewish population during the second world war so don’t continue to listen or read if you are of a sensitive nature. I had this experience the night after I had said to my higher self that I was ready for some more ‘astral rescues’ though I didn’t expect one so soon. I usually describe my experiences in the present tense to remind myself that we are always in the present moment but this is in the past as it is from a few years ago before I took up this habit. It started with me sleeping in a house that was a mix between two houses I have lived in before. While I am in bed I felt how I do when I am about the leave my body, so I got up out of the body that was asleep. I knew I was in the astral and I looked out of the window ready to fly through. I could see a lot of greenery outside but there was an area which stood out from the rest, it is as if I was watching a scene from another time in a type of ‘vision bubble’, the action within this area was in black and white. There were soldiers fighting and I got the impression it was a scene from World War II. There were other people in the room with me and they were a bit afraid of flying through the window, I said it’s OK we’re out/of/body and can’t be killed. Suddenly some men burst into the room they said they were looking for El, a child. The next thing I know I was a child being chased by soldiers, I was the child and an observer, I was trying to get out of some sort of prison. The soldiers had dogs. I managed to escape into the wood at the back of the prison. I think there was a village nearby and I got the impression that I stayed there a while, a few months or years. Then I saw the child come back to the wood and she looked to her right, my left, I followed her gaze and saw a stone alcove with a child hanging in it, the child had been hung and was dead. I couldn’t see the child’s face as it was turned way the body was also kind of huddled up and covered in black clothing. I woke up. In the past when I have done ‘astral rescues’ they have followed the same process, it’s as if I’m given clues as to what happened by entering into the drama of the person, into their story. I think this is often necessary in order to reach the person involved, you have to understand what they went through to build a bridge for them, out of their drama to the higher beings. So it was World War II, the prison could have been a concentration camp, my intuition told me the girl was Jewish, the child hanging in the stone alcove was disturbing, I wasn’t aware of any reports of children being hung in the Second World War. Anyway I investigated a bit and discovered the children of Bullenhuser Damm School. Jewish children were experimented on and then in order to conceal traces of the experiments the children were taken to the basement of the above mentioned school and hung. When I found this out it made me feel sick I have to admit my day would have been happier if I hadn’t found this out, however many atrocities happen in our world, it is no good turning our backs, what we can do is try to make things better for those who suffered. You can read the full account of what happened by researching the Children Of Bullenhuser Damm School. At the end of 1944, there were over 300 children interned in Hut 11 at Auschwitz-Birkenau.  One of the children is named Eleonora, she was 5. My intuition tells me that El is trying to draw my attention to this horror story I think she has crossed over, the soldiers who came into the bedroom were looking for El, and in my experience described above, the child did escape the camp. This could symbolise the fact that she managed to cross over. So I’m inclined to think that she is asking for help for her friends and maybe not just her friends from the school but for the children in Hut 11 who didn’t survive, some of whom may still be lost. The hanging child could also have been a symbol, of things still left hanging, not resolved and the black, negativity which has not yet been dealt with. I think this situation will need a lot of work I was thinking about the name El and the Netflix series ‘Stranger Things’ comes to mind, I had the above experience before the third season started. However, I remember in the first season El, (Eleven) was captive and tests/experiments were done on her by her captor who she called ‘Papa’. So is the El of my experience trying to draw my attention to Hut 11, to help all the children who were there. Joseph Mengele was known as the Angel of Death at Auschwitz , in ‘Me And Mengele’ By Dr. Dianne N. Irving, she writes   “During the mornings Mengele would come in

I am more than my physical body… This is the beginning of the famous quote by Robert Monroe. It always reminds me of the times I’ve woken up in my physical body and had to wait for the download of who I am to complete. A few times after an OBE I’ve woken up and I’ve had to ask myself the question, which me am I? For a second I lie there with an empty head, I have no idea of which identity I am focused in, in that present moment. The first time it happened it was a bit freaky but then afterwards when I thought about it, it actually made sense, after all we are spiritual beings with a physical body which serves as a kind of interface to enable us to experience life on Earth. We are not our identity. Indeed rather symbolically sometimes in an OBE I place my bag somewhere knowing I can pick it up later, my bag represents my identity. So I leave my present identity behind so I can pick it up later when I re-enter my body. I remember when I was a child walking home from school asking myself the question, ‘Who am I?’ No one can really answer that question but yourself. To really understand you have to find out for yourself using whichever path you choose to do it. I tried philosophy at first when I was older to try and answer my question but I decided you can never get the true answer from a book, sure you can believe what is written in a book but experience is knowing. Waking up and not remembering who I am for a second or two, illustrates something very important. That our identity on Earth is made up of memories, but if you take those memories away you do not self-destruct and disappear off the face of the Earth, you remain in your physical body and continue your life. So we are not our memories, we are not who we THINK we are. We are programmed to operate in this world, but I believe the present program seriously needs an update. Coming back to the physical after some OBEs makes me feel as if I’ve come back to some sort of cartoon world where truth is drowned out and humanity is a watery version of what it could be. One of the benefits of having OBEs is that you get a bigger picture of who we really are and what we are truly capable of, this is why humanity has always been manipulated, this is why ‘the powers that be’ are always trying to divide us by setting us against each other. While we are spending time arguing we are not following our hearts and growing into the humans we are meant to be. So remember we are not our identity, we are more than our physical body…. And on that note I will leave you. If you’d like to continue this discussion or start another equally interesting please pop over to https://astralwings.podia.com/ and join our community.

This is a rather special podcast episode as it marks the launch of my new online community and the Astral Wings Academy, I have been spending a lot of time investigating various platforms in order to keep everything free and therefore accessible to everyone. I have had an online community in the past but due to time restrictions it became difficult to maintain, however, I have now made a few changes in my life that allow me to dedicate more time to this very important aspect of our lives. I have made this decision as since I started having OBEs the world of astral projection has exploded, this has of course two sides, the first side more easily accessible information and people to talk to about it which is great, however the second is the amount of misinformation out there is a little scary, lol at times more scary than meeting a neg in the astral. A message came to be a little while ago that basically said ‘What good is experience is you don’t share it’ so the Universe has been pushing me to be more active and I have decided to answer the call. I’m not saying I am the world’s greatest expert, I don’t believe anyone is, I simply want to share the experience I have gained after over 20 years of experience after teaching myself back around the year 2000. I have been having OBEs regularly since then, the latest one being Monday morning and boy was that incredible, I’ll talk about that in a bit. Of course I have been sharing my experiences via this podcast, but I now wish to create a quiet corner of internet away from the some of craziness of certain platforms. I have created a community area with various topics, I will be doing videos that will only be available in the community plus you can message me privately from within the community. I have also set up the Astral Wings Academy where you can sign up for courses which I will be creating. At present there is one with 15 1 to 3 minute videos, called Astral Projection Tips, at the moment only available through the community. I wish to create a relationship with people and be available to answer questions about what I discuss. This particular course is ongoing as I will be adding to it every now and again. I’ll tell you the link to the community at the end of this episode but first I want to tell you about the OBE I had on Monday morning. This OBE was the second one of the night, however the first one I don’t remember, the second though, wow! I become aware while lying in my body though I’m not lying where I should be. I start to feel the electrical sensation I have when I am about to leave my body. Then above me I feel and see an extremely powerful light, I have my arms stretched above my head with my palms together. The light is Divine Light, I ask the light to pull me out of body, I feel myself being pulled up a little then I find myself in Divine Light in a state of ecstacy, it is impossible to describe I am within Divine Light and the feeling is nothing I can put into words and nothing I have experienced in the physical, I don’t know how much time passes, time isn’t important. On return to my physical body it feels that here we are devoid of energy, of light, compared to what I experienced.  We certainly need to let in more light into our lives and I’m sure the Earth would be grateful. So now to the link of my new community, it is hosted at: https://astralwings.podia.com You can also find a link to it at my podcast website https://astralprojectionpodcast.com. Bear in mind it is a new community so it may feel a bit empty at first, I suppose like being the first arrival at a party but there are advantages to that too, no queue to the buffet table or the bar lol, you will have my undivided attention. So I hope to see you over there at astralwings.podia.com Bye for now!

As usual I woke up around 4am and put on a music track, I had been using a chant but changed it to a gamma frequency track, I lay in bed and took some deep breaths visualising my body filling with light with each breath. I went back to sleep. I wake up in, I suppose a dreaming body, as I’m not in the place where I had gone to sleep. I know I am out-of-body and fly through the window into my parents garden in England. It feels good to be flying around the garden. I look to the left and to the right to decide where I am going to go. The left looks very ‘busy’, buildings, stuff going on, the right looks a bit calmer, more space. I am finding it a little difficult to fly but put in a bit of effort and fly off to the right though not very high. I can’t manage to get over the garden next door which isn’t the physical reality garden. For some reason I don’t want the owner of the garden to see me, this seems to be very similar to another experience I had recently. I manage to get through the garden but on foot not flying. There is something I have to do on the other side of the garden. Once I get to the other side I am flying again in a town, there seems to be some sort of carnival going on there is a parade coming towards me. I have touble flying again and I mention it to someone near me, they tell me to try spinning. So I spin, I decide to take off and say ‘take me to God’ I put my right arm out in front and take off, I expect to be whisked off somewhere but not a lot happens. Of course, nothing happened as to connect to the Divine we don’t have to going anywhere but inwards through the heart, but in the heat of the astral moment, you can get carried away. Anyway I am now at the bottom of a hill, there is snow on the ground and we have to rescue someone. Suddenly there is a small avalanche and snow falls down the hill, I get the feeling we are too late and I look under the snow. There are frozen things under there like frozen food packets, bit weird that. Then I wake up. I go back to sleep and when I finally wake up I feel so calm and extremely content, I feel I have to lie in bed for a while to savour the feeling. Thanks for listening, speak soon, Happy travels!

When I had my first out-of-body experience I first did the wake up back to bed routine, where you wake up after a few hours sleep and then try for an OBE. The idea being that you aren’t as tired and then being able to stay aware while the body falls asleep is easier. I then tried to keep my mind awake while my body went to sleep. I was successful and had my first out-of-body experience….wow! This technique suited me at the time as I would normally get woken up during the night a few times as I had young kids and a snoring husband, so I wasn’t actually setting an alarm clock to wake up as some people might do. I believe that any astral projection technique should be integrated as much as possible into your life, I’m not sure if disturbing sleep is a good idea or not, sleep is very important so this may not be a good idea if you generally have problems sleeping. I still wake up during the night but rarely have problems getting back off to the world of nod. I have talked about the above technique in another 2 episodes which you can find on my site. Go to astralprojectionpodcast.com and do a site search for ‘Staying Awake While Falling Asleep’ and ‘Reaching the Mind Awake Body Asleep State’ Astral Projection Technique – Staying Awake While Falling Asleep Reaching the Mind Awake Body Asleep State Although experiencing yourself sinking down into sleep and staying aware during the whole process is a great feeling, it is in my opinion not the easiest of techniques and can lead to frustration if you end up dropping off to sleep. One of my favourite techniques involves visualisation and tactile exercises. I started to use this technique after my first OBE so I would keep my experiences going, believe me after the first one I didn’t want it to be a one off. After a while of programming the following technique into my subconscious often I would automatically find myself in the astral version of my chosen place of visualisation. It became my astral base camp. This technique involves taking some time each day to visualise and feel. You choose a place you know well, a place you love to be, a place where you are or were very happy. Then you have to bring it to life in your mind’s eye not only visually but also in a tactile sense. For example, I chose my garden in England where I had spent many hours playing as a child, I know the garden in all seasons, and it is a place I can replay very well in my mind. However, this technique is not only about visualisation you have to really feel as if you are there by remembering the smells, how it felt to be there, etc., I used to climb the apple tree so I used to replay how the bark of the tree felt as I was climbing, I remembered the smell of apples that had fallen on the ground and started to rot, the smell of newly cut grass. I had a photo of the garden which I carried around with me and when I had a moment during the day I would take out the photo and start visualising and feeling. I would imagine myself flying around the garden and repeat to myself ‘now I’m out-of-body’. Basically this is all about programming your subconscious mind to wake you up when already in the astral, or if you are in the mind awake body asleep state you can go through this visualisation and feeling activity to get you out of, and away from, your sleeping body. I would also go through the same process before sleeping and each time I woke up during the night, you certainly have to be dedicated but it is definitely worth the effort as you don’t have to set any alarms to wake up so your sleep doesn’t get interrupted. It is also a technique most people should be able to integrate into their day. For me it worked, years later I still find myself in my astral garden, every so often I do the visualisation and feeling activity but not everyday. If I haven’t had an OBE for a while I might start to do it more often. With any technique you choose consistency is the key, you have to keep at it, you cannot program your mind in just a week, so you do need patience and you need to make an effort. Consistency and dedication pay off, I have not been having out-of-body experiences all my life, I would have the occasional lucid dream this is as far as my adventures went. I had my first OBE around the year 2000 and was determined to keep them going, so I was consistent in my practice and patient, I didn’t allow myself to get frustrated but considered it all a great adventure and so it has continued to be.

This one took me by surprise a bit as I wasn’t trying for an OBE, however always welcome. I had woken up in the middle of the night and decided to listen to Holy Harmony by Jonathan Goldman, while going back to sleep. I particularly like this track and often do yoga to it. I go back to sleep then suddenly wake up in the mind awake/ body asleep state, I am literally buzzing with energy it feels fantastic. I then kind of see myself, well I see my back though I am not lying on my stomach physically. I have two perspectives of myself, the one feeling the energy and the one observing it as well. As I am lying in the mind awake/body asleep state I take a moment to enjoy the energy sensations and I start to control them, I bring the energy up my spine across my upper back at the same time watching it, it is like silver sparkles, I send it back down to my lower back then bring it up again. It is amazing. I suspect I am doing it in time with the Holy Harmony track as the harmonies go back and forth like waves. Then I decide to get up out of my body still buzzing with energy, even more this time and it reaches a peak. I fly through the window and explore the garden a little though a different garden from my own, I decide it is time to do something useful and say to my higher self ‘Take me where I need to be’. I am whisked off somewhere, I find myself in a green area with big leaves and I feel I have to look for something, I have a vision of some monkeys, then I find something that looks like a bumble bee though it is hard and inanimate. I completely lose track of what happens next, the next thing I remember is being back in my body I get out again, my older sister is with me and I suggest I fly through the attic window this time, I particularly like that window as it is high up and just feels better flying through it. We instantly find ourselves in the attic and I fly through the window. It is a little difficult qt first but with a bit of effort I get through. Again what happens next escapes my memory. I wake up and go through everything in my mind so I can remember in the morning. At this point I really should have written a few notes to remind myself just in case as I always tell people but I didn’t I somehow knew I would remember given that the energy sensations were so strong. I did have another dream later on about being trapped as a hostage in China there was some sort of war going on and they were holding Westerners found in the country as hostages though their children were sent home. Maybe this was related to the previous OBEs or not The energy sensations were incredible and being able to control them even more so, and as this is Monday, an excellent start to the week.

Happy New Year Everyone! I’ve been having a bit of a strange time with very few experiences, lots of dreams yes, but not many OBEs. It is strange as usually this time of year when the weather is cooler I find it easier. I had one rather disturbing experience where I didn’t even get to leave my body but was lying in bed, in mind awake/body asleep with an ugly looking insect type entity on top of me trying to stuff my duvet in my mouth. It was one of those scary ones where I couldn’t get hold of my emotions. However I was also watching the scene as an observer could see the insect in full. Now it could be that I had ended up with the duvet over my head when sleeping, couldn’t breathe properly and my mind made up this scene. However, I doubt this as I’m always hot at night and usually the cover is half way down the bed. Maybe someone somewhere is trying to shut me up lol. Anyway, I have been trying all my usual techniques to get out of body and nothing seemed to be working, I had exhausted all my collection of cds I sometimes listen to to help me out. The room I’m in at the mo isn’t my favourite for OBEs but I have still manage to have them in it. I remembered a gamma frequency track I have so I dug it out, I have never listened to it while asleep so I thought I’d give it a try. It worked, finally I’m out again. It goes like this. I am asleep in my old bedroom in England and I wake up in that body, obviously already in the astral, regular listeners will know I have used my house and garden in England as a sort of astral base camp. I get up out of that sleeping body, I’m am aware but it seems so real I feel I should check before I jump through the window to make sure I am in the astral. I jump in the air to see if I float and I do. I fly through the window, it feels so good to be out, I feel so light and free, there is a lovely atmosphere in the garden and a few animals are running around, a young dear-like animal comes over and I stroke it. Along one side of the garden are windows to other houses but they look more like shop fronts, usually there are simply gardens. it is as if the shop/house front has things in it depicting what family life is like inside the house. One house front looks as if it is decorated for Christmas, I peer in but I hear a noise and I didn’t want to be seen. At the end of the garden is a stone wall and an old lady comes out of a door. There is a frightened child near me and the old lady says that it would help to ‘hang the cords out’ I have no idea what she meant by this but I got the image in my mind of a pair of old ballet shoes hanging somewhere. At this point I wake up. It’s a shame it didn’t last any longer so I could go deeper into what was happening but I’m so happy I managed an exit, it kind of helps to take away a bit of physical reality ‘heaviness’ and it is always so good to be flying around my astral garden. Thanks for listening!

Hello, today I thought I would do a quick episode while I’m on my walk. So if the sound quality isn’t as good as usual, it’s because I’m outside and it’s rush hour, which means rush hour in Italy is actually lunchtime because everyone’s rushing home to have their lunch, in Italy lunch is still a big event. I thought I would talk a little bit about motivation with projection and out of body experiences if you don’t do the practice, if you don’t take time to focus on this skill, you may lose it or you may not have experiences as often, so we do need to be motivated. My motivation is that through astral projection I have managed to change my perspective of the world and continually having these experiences continually maintains this more global perspective of life and the world and what is happening. Sometimes nothing brings greater relief than actually being able to change perspective out of the three dimensional reality because we are so blocked in this reality. Even having out-of-body experiences you still realize that you are still influenced so much by life on Earth, life in the physical reality. For example, in the astral often we have clothes, we have a body, we speak when in reality we are not these things. We don’t have a body. We don’t need clothes, and we certainly don’t need to speak. We can do everything telepathically. So this is what my motivation is – it’s to keep giving my mind that global perspective because it is so easy to lose it as we are so ingrained in our physical lives and it is so easy to, to just lose ourselves in our physical lives. So this is my motivation for doing astral projection, for doing the practice. I always say astral projection, but I mean out-of-body experiences in general, spiritual growth, this sort of thing. Because we need to get out of this loop that we seem to be stuck in. And I think humanity for hundreds of years has been falling into a deep hole that we now need to get out of and we need to expand our consciousness and a great way of doing that is through astral projection and out-of-body experiences. Because once you have your first experience, there’s no doubt, you can’t doubt that your consciousness changed its perspective, that’s what happens. you change your focus and you look at things, from a different viewpoint, and I think that’s really what we need to do now. It seems to me that we’ve come to a make or break point in our history, at least our present history. I’m sure there were other civilizations way, way back that became out of harmony with where they lived, with nature, which is where we seem to be at the moment, out of harmony with nature, and we need to get back into harmony and we need to expand our perspectives on how we view nature and the world and the Earth and our relationship to it, and I think astral projection and out-of-body experiences are a great way to do this and this is what motivates me. The more you focus on it, you find the more it happens, the more you dream, the more you lucid dream and the more you end up in the astral or on other planes, because obviously there are other planes other than the astral. You can go far beyond the astral. In fact, that is where our true home is, it is where our true selves reside, but of course, we reside here too and I think we need to grow into our humanity, we need to expand our consciousness. So if you need any motivation, this should motivate you. Get out of the loop. We need to get out of the loop we’re stuck in and we need to get our minds less ingrained in this physical reality. We need to expand out of it. Anyway, I’m gonna continue with my walk and have a much deserved cappuccino at the end, so I’ll see you all next time. Bye for now.

I believe our dreams are as important as our OBEs and astral experiences they can give us many messages and help us to gain insight into our lives, they can even give us glimpses of other lives. The following I didn’t experience as me going into the astral but as a dream, however, it was very strong and extremely realistic. On waking at first I believed this dream was a glimpse of another life, especially as after I wake up I doze off again and go back to dreamland to meet the same people only some time on. On refection though it could have been an astral rescue brought back as a dream, maybe even a rescue of one of my own lives lost in darkness. It goes like this. I am on a boat with a lot of people, some I know very well others are part of the crew of our former ship which was some sort of pirate ship, we have been arrested and the crew are tied up in a line. We arrive at the port where there seems to be a bit of a fumble and the crew escape altogether still tied together. I watch them as they run down the wooden runway. I am left on the boat with 3 others, the ‘pirate’ Captain, I say pirate though it doesn’t really seem as if he was a pirate in the sense as we know the word, there is also the Captain’s, I suppose First Mate plus the Captain’s wife. I am great friends with the Captain and the First Mate, they are both a bit dirty, longish hair and unshaven, as might be expeceted in that sitaution. I feel myself to be a young teenage boy. It is dark and we know we have to escape as quickly as we can, and stay hidden for a while. In the mess of running that happens after we get separated. It is cold and damp and I try to find my 2 friends. The Captain’s wife is desperate to find her husband and I have an image of her taking the boat to the other side of the port thinking he might be there. The sea is as black as night and looks like ink. She goes to the other side of the port where there are a few trees and a path through the trees, she kneels on a soggy black beach wailing. I see a family riding bikes they appear a little transparent, a bit ghostly. The bikes are the old-fashioned ones like Penny Farthings. I try to find my friends but there are too many people around and I know I must stay hidden. I then remember walking along a road still near the port, there is a lot of confusion here, I see people hiding and some are sick, it is a very depressing place. I am with a man who tries to keep me going but I am exhausted and very hungry and just sit down by a wall. I notice a couple of people next to me, I recognise them as a couple of former crew members, it is good to see familiar faces. I feel sad as I lost my friends the Captain and the First Mate. I feel very sad. The familiar faces…..guides trying to reach me? Then I wake up. Now here comes the twist. It is still early so I go back to sleep, first of all I start dreaming of a friend of mine who has just bought a new yellow car a Panda, popular here in Italy though we are in my village in England. Then the dream jumps back to the port, this time it is different, a lot cleaner the air is clear and there is a lot of light. I am with my friend and we are walking in the port, I am once again the boy though now I feel a bit older. I am on a bike now and ahead I see 2 familiar faces, it is the Captain and the First Mate, I can’t believe it and cycle over to them nearly bumping into someone in my excitement. I am so happy and my heart is so full of love for these two people. They are different, very smart, their previous longish messy hair is now neat and they are clean shaven, they look amazing. My friend comes over to us and I say it’s ok we can trust her, the First Mate though isn’t so sure and walks off. As I walk with the Captain I ask if his wife found him, he says yes she was at that moment cooking lunch, we laugh, we don’t go into any details about what happened but talk in general.  My friend then realises that we need some privacy and makes an excuse that she has something to do. Then the Captain, First Mate and I sit at a table and have a long chat though what about I don’t remember. It is sooo good to see them again looking so well, again I feel full of love for them however, I know that we must go our separate ways. I wake up. I’ve done many astral rescues, in some I see the trauma from the point of view of the person I am trying to reach as this helps me understand the situation and build a bridge out of it, however I also see the situation from other points of view, i.e. my own as a helper. In this experience I didn’t see any other perspective, only the boy’s view of things and his feelings as if they were my own. This leads me to think that I may have been experiencing my own rescue when I was stuck in the lower astral realms in another life, particularly as it all appeared incredible real. The blackness of the sea and the filthy dock and all the

The following are two experiences I had around the beginning of November, good job I wrote them down or I would have totally forgotten. The first one goes like this: Nov 4thI wake up in my old bedroom in the UK, I fly through the window aware that I am in the astral. I decide to fly over to the left to see what is there, for some reason I am looking for two children but I don’t know why. As I fly I find myself in the countryside it is very pleasant, I see someone coming towards me very fast and as he approaches he appears a lot bigger than I am. I don’t get a good vibe from him, indeed he seems to be a bit of a bully. I realize that there are others like him. In this place there are two types of people, the smaller ones and the bigger ones, the bigger ones given the chance pick on the smaller ones. The thing that remains with me are the the bully type people fly faster and are bigger than the others. The second goes like this: Nov 5thI am doing yoga in my parents garden in the UK, for some reason I am wearing shorts and wellies, I feel as if if I jumped up in the air then I would float, then I think well I wouldn’t be able to do that in the physical. I fly up to the top of a tree and examine the branches while shouting something down to my yoga group. I fly back down to them and stand on the fence at this point I fully realise that I am dreaming. I stand on the fence poised to go into the astral what a great feeling. Once again like the experience of the night before I fly off to the left. I come to a footpath and I walk up it, it is so real, the footpath is steep and I even get a bit out of breath, again like the previous experience, the greenery is very pleasant. I reach the top, I am in a forest and there is a road running through the middle. I hear a car coming and I feel I must hide, there is a young woman just in front of me who is also hiding, she doesn’t see me. The car stops and a couple of Chinese men get out, they are looking for people and are the authorities, their vibe is one of oppression. I believe they take the girl but they don’t see me, maybe being out-of-body I am invisible. They leave. I decide to explore further to see if I can find anyone who can tell me more about where I am. I am still wearing wellies for some reason and there must be a reason. I see a camp in the trees and I am about to go down to it but then I realize it is a Chinese camp, there are a couple of young girls playing nearby but they are part of the Chinese community so I don’t attract their attention.  Then I wake up. Interesting couple of experiences and maybe related as the theme seems to be bullies and oppression, (no offence here to the Chinese of course but I think my mind used it as their regime is rather authoritarian ). However also mixed with the innocence of children especially the imagery that wellies produce, well at least for me, splashing in puddles and having fun, what could be more innocent. The word welly is also a British informal expression for power or vigour, for example we say ‘ give it some wellie’ meaning give it some power or force. So in the wellies symbolism there is both innocence and power. Cold November rain song on radio by Guns and Roses  their symbol are guns and red roses. Guns can symbolise oppression violence and red roses love and passion. Maybe part of the message from the above two experiences is showing the power of innocence. Just yesterday I was talking to someone about how children look at the world with wonder whereas by the time we have reached adulthood we tend to take things for granted and don’t react in the same way. Maybe there is power in looking at things as if we are seeing them for the first time, maybe this brings us just a little bit closer to our true selves.

I never get tired of repeating how the affirmation ‘Now I’m out-of-body’ works for me, my latest experience is no exception as I believe it is this affirmation that causes me to wake up already in the astral or wherever I may be. I had woken up several times during the night and each time I went back to sleep I repeated the affirmation over and over. Although it is better if affirmations are said out loud it’s not always possible and they work with me even if I say them in my mind. So I go back to sleep repeating now I m out of body now I’m out of body. I fall asleep then after a while I suddenly become aware, I am aware though it is not a lucid dream, I wake up already out of body. I am in a place that isn’t really a place but very difficult to describe I am surrounded by sort of stars though they aren’t stars they are more like lights in the distance. Who knows maybe I am one of those shining lights as I don’t feel like I have a body. For some reason I say to myself I am consciousness. It is all sooo real, I have no thoughts of anything in particular, no thoughts about doing or going anywhere, I seemed to just be there. The physical world was not present in my thoughts, it was far far away. There was no real sense of time and I have no idea how long it all lasted but when I woke up it felt extremely profound and meaningful though if you asked me what was meaning ful about it I wouldnt be able to explain. Some things I guess you just have to experience. Now back in the physical world, it, that is the physical world, is so concentrated and intense, maybe this is one of the reasons out-of-body travel feels so good as it brings a bit of relief from the intensity of life on Earth. I think this is why it feels so good to be out in nature as well it takes some of the pressure off for a while. We tend to accept what life is like here probably because we have nothing really to compare it to, I have read from several sources that not all souls decide to incarnate on Earth because of the intensity of life here and the way we can feel cut of from source, even though we are always connected, it certainly can feel that way at times. Out-of-body experiences certainly give you another way to look at things, it’s like being taken out of a situation and looking at it objectively without the emotional involvement which is extremely refreshing. Finally something to think about, if I am consciousness then so is everyone so why do we make life on Earth so complicated? Thanks for listening/reading, Happy travels. Ali.

Often when I publish a podcast episode the following day I have an OBE, this shows how focusing on astral projection helps you in your practice. I had this experience the morning after I published my last episode, it all started with a dream: I am dreaming I am with people talking about me getting married, in the middle of the conversation I think to myself, ‘hang on a minute I’m already married’ and that’s when I become lucid. I say to my dream characters ‘I’m dreaming, now how about a bit of flying and I take off, encouraging my dream characters to do the same, however they can’t fly and simply run beneath me. I decide to go into the astral, and repeat, ‘now I am in the astral.’ I shoot up in the air and the dream disappears. I am in a place I can’t describe, on the ground I see a black folded card with gold writing on it, the writing is Greek. A man comes over who looks like Keanu (kay ah noo) Reeves, he says that the writing on the card are the rules to follow when in the astral, I look at the writing and tell him it looks too complicated I follow my own innate moral guidance system, he seemed happy with that and walked off. I say to my higher self, ‘take me where I need to be’, I shut off my astral vision as sometimes it can be a bit distracting and I allow myself to be whisked off somewhere. I open my vision and see a country road with trees either side. I think to myself, ‘this looks nice’ then I suddenly hear people running, cars, vans and sirens. I hide to see if I can work out what’s happening. The chaos passes me by so I come out of hiding, I walk towards where I believe the action is, it all seems so real, there is a gate made of tree branches, I touch one and feel the bark, it feels as real as if I am touching it in the waking world, it is incredible, then I get on with the problem at hand. There is a group of people and they are discussing a couple who have falling in love but are from opposing sides, apparently there are 2 communities who are at odds with each other and have been for a long time. They are going to punish the couple, I get an image of a small statue being pounded into the heart of the couple involved, seems a bit extreme but, this may be literally or the image may have some sort of symbolic meaning. I ask the people, ‘Would you do that to your own daughters?’ I know that their daughters also have relationships with young men from the ‘other side’. They answer ‘No they wouldn’t.’ I start telling them that they are living by archaic rules from the past that are no longer relevant. I manage to convince them and the 2 sides sign a truce. One of the daughters attracts my attention and we go outside, she tells me she needs to have a long talk, I explain that I am out-of-body and can’t stay for much longer (I feel I am going to wake up soon). She tells me quickly that she is in a ‘certain condition’ by that I understand that she is pregnant, she doesn’t look pregnant, at least in the way that we humans understand pregnancy. The girl then starts to go into labour and here it starts to get a bit weird and very difficult to explain. It is as if I am carrying her in a container, in the container there is gooey stuff and it’s as if she is underneath. Anyway at that point I wake up. Again, similar to my last podcast episode, I seem to have become a bit of a trouble shooter in the astral world sorting out conflicts. Happy travels, Ali.

I had this experience a week ago, sooo good too wake up on a Sunday morning after an OBE. well any morning really. I am dreaming and at a certain point I stop in the dream and look out onto the dream landscape, I suddenly realise that I am dreaming, I savour the moment for a few seconds, I love that feeling. I then shoot up in the air with the intention of going to the astral, I say ‘now I am in the astral’. I decide I want to fly into the Earth, I have done this before but this time it didn’t work, I think maybe I should have set the intention and then looked for a door bit in the heat of the moment I wasn’t thinking. Anyway, I say to my higher self ‘take me where I need to be’ and I am whisked off somewhere, I find myself sitting between 2 women, they have a problem and I am in the middle of them as a type of mediator. A door opens in front of us and a boy comes through, then he goes back into the house. One woman, the one on my right, seemed to have a hard character, a bit like a ‘Nazi’ type person, maybe she was in a former life. I think the issue the two women had in their physical lives stayed with them when they died and they are still wrapped up in it, plus I feel it is also affecting future generations, represented by the boy opening the door. We talk about their problem, I can’t remember the details, I don’t feel that the details are important but what is necessary is to solve their issue so all involved can get on with their growth. We managed to release the energy that has been keeping them tied together and hopefully in doing so also released other generations affected by this up to now unresolved problem. The lady on the left of me, gets up and leaves, I believe she is pregnant which could symbolise new birth, growth and life. I leave too and fly towards these tall houses all in a row, the architecture is quite impressive but I really want to head beyond them to mountains, valleys, hills and forests, however there is something here I must do. At this point I lose lucidity and a little while later I wake up. This experience shows how when we die, we can die with our issues intact, our problems with other people or with ourselves, remain and we must deal with them in one way or another. We are constantly making karmic connections, good and bad, but the good news is we always have the opportunity to work them out and release the energy. This is why I believe working on ourselves is so important, or we do it now or we do it another time, but do it we must so what’s the point in putting it off. Dreamwork and astral projection/out-of-body experiences are a great way of doing this, plus you can do it in your sleep so you don’t have to stress about how you are going to fit it into your already busy day. You just need to take time during the day to write down your experiences and spend a little time reflecting. It can help to talk to someone about your experiences but only you can truly interpret them because only you know how you felt, so listen to others but the last word goes to you. After all you are the only one living your life. Thanks for listening!

Well it’s that time of the year again here in Italy, summer has almost past, summer holidays are over and I must say I really enjoyed our little family get together, we went to a place called Talamone which was a really chill place. Now it’s time to get back into things, although I do have a trip to the UK planned. It’s time to start focusing once more on our inner journeys, now the summer heat is passing and my family have gone back to their various abodes it’s a lot easier to concentrate on my own stuff. Today I’m going to tell you about an experience I had back in May, it left me feeling so good! (10-05-2022) It is early in the morning, about 6am, my thumb had been hurting and having done yoga the evening before it was hurting slightly more, I did a little reiki on it then thought that if I had an OBE and subjected my whole body to those wonderful energies it would do it good. Laying on my back often makes OBEs easier for me as I find it an uncomfortable position to sleep in, so I lay on my back, arms down at my side palms facing upwards. I wake up in the mind awake/body asleep state and I am feeling full of energy, almost exploding with energy, I get up out of my body and it feels such a relief as the energy was almost overwhelming. I am standing with my arms at my side and palms facing outwards and I feel so powerful, I exude power. It is incredible. I fly through the window without hesitation and find myself flying in space though it isn’t dark it is more a soft purple, there are 3 or 4 planets nearby, such an incredible feeling, I feel fantastic and I am flying quite fast. In front of me I see some big rocks coming towards me, in a kind of reddish energy field, I think to myself, ‘good job I’m out-of-body or I would be squashed by now.’ As I’m flying I say to my higher self ‘take me where I need to be’. I arrive in a city and walk around a bit, everyone is wearing masks covering nose and mouth, ‘I think to myself, bloody hell, they are wearing masks in the astral too now.’ All the masks are a variation of the same pattern and made of cloth. I haven’t got one and someone asks me where my mask is, I make up something telling him it must have blown off when I was riding my bike. He gives me one, I just take it and walk off. I feel I am in this town to somehow help people, and I go into a building where there is a friend of mine. In the OBE I feel I have known this friend a long time and we have worked together in the astral many times before, although this is the first time I remember. I ask someone his name for although I know him well I can’t remember his name, it’s Barnaby. I go over to him for a chat, it’s so good to see him, he is dressed like Indiana Jones, but without the hat. We know each other so well. The next thing I remember is being in a cave setting with Barnaby and two creatures, they are a bit dragon-like, Barnaby makes the comment that they look like something out of Doctor Who and we laugh. We are teaching them how to lucid dream. Then I wake up. There are several things that strike me about this experience, the first was the intense power I felt, this is the second time I have felt this recently. The second thing is where I was flying at the beginning, it defies description and I really wish I was an artist so I could get across the feeling. The third thing was my friendship with Barnaby and how we have worked together many times in the astral but this knowledge only came to me in this OBE, before I was not aware of it at all. So imagine how many things we get up to when we sleep that we may never be aware of in this life, imagine how many friends we have that we are not aware of. So if you’re ever feeling alone you are not, you have many friends you don’t even know about.

May 2 2022 I don’t actually remember how I got to the astral but this often happens to me, maybe because of the affirmation that I often use ‘ now I am out of body’. I am in my village in the UK, I know instinctively that I am in the astral. It feels so good to be flying free, I feel so light and full of joy. I am flying fast and throwing somersaults in the air over the common, then suddenly this very small boy comes flying onto the common and boy can he fly fast, he comes towards me and I take him in my hand, he is very small, he tells me he is Peter Pan. I tell him I would like to fly like him and ask him if he could give me some of his magic dust, the fairy dust in the story. He moves a little away from me and changes into an animal, his eyes glow green as if he is projecting something to me. I think I see my eyes glow green to but I can’t be sure. I say see my eyes glow green as often in these experiences you can see yourself too as a sort of observer. Then I fly up in the air, everything seems to have a wonderful depth to it. The Peter Pan character disappears and I am flying in such a beautiful place the sky is incredible shades of pink I feel love in my heart and through my heart try to connect to God/the Source/ the Creator, whichever term you use. I hear a deep voice in my mind, the voice carries such power, wisdom and knowledge, I know it is the voice of God, if God could have a voice. In the astral things get funneled down so we can make sense of them, we live in a world or form and so this is often reflected when travelling and communicating in the astral. Also sometimes what seem like words in the astral on re-entering the physical we discover there are no equivalents here. In fact a lot of what is said to me I can’t bring back. However, there was one thing that God said to me that I remember ‘Even a bad day is a miracle.’ I thought about this when I woke up and I realised that all days are the same, from the point of view of the sun rising and setting, indeed each day looked at from the perspective as a new day on the Earth with the sunrise and all the plants and animals waking up etc is truly a miracle but us humans make each day into a good or bad day depending on what happens and how we view it. So in a certain sense yes even a bad day is a miracle. I also think that an important thing about this experience is communication with the Divine and how we can open up the channel through our hearts. The eyes of Peter Pan/animal character glow green, as do mine, green and pink are both associated with the heart chakra. I remember distinctly a feeling in the area of my heart chakra just before I am flying in the beautiful pink sky, I felt as if something clicked into place and a channel opened. It was a wonderful experience. Happy travels!

It’s been a while, it’s been so hot here in Italy that motivation tends to get a bit low, I’ve also been doing a course for level 3 Reiki plus regular yoga. However, I do find that summer heat tends to affect the frequency of my OBEs. I also had he infamous virus that has been doing its rounds but I’m fine and found it, strange as it may seem, an opportunity for growth. Anyway, last night I did manage to tune in at some point durin the night though the memory is not very detailed. I remember being consciousness, no body etc and I was exploring a town. I remember focusing on a particular road but that’s all. The thing that remains with me the most was being simply consciousness. Now let me take you back o March as I have a bit of catching up to do on my blog. 25-03-2022 I had been trying for a few days to have an astral experience, but nothing happened just dreams reflecting our present situation here on Earth, which I can do without, then last night I didn’t try but just kind of let go and got more chill about the whole thing and I ended up in the astral. I am in a kind of dream, I am lying in bed trying to have an OBE and my husband keeps disturbing me trying to hoover the room so I can’t focus properly. I decide to get up and go somewhere else. It is as if I step somewhere else and I find myself in our former house and fly through a window. I feel I am in the astral, it feels so good just flying, I am flying with our former dog who died a few years ago, there are also children playing below me, one is playing with a large ring like a rubber ring. I feel good. I lose lucidity and then find myself eating a meal with the children and their parents, a child is talking about a dream he/she (not sure) had the night before. It is exactly the same as a previous experience with the children playing, we laugh and say we shared the same dream. I don’t remember anything more. Another experience the same night goes as follows: I am in a place where people need healing, there are kind of trailers with people waiting and many are traumatised, there seems to be a lot of energy healing going on, there are several healers there laying their hands on people. I go over to a couple of ladies, one turns round and calls me by the name ‘Consensus’ she then shows me what she is doing. I go over to a trailer with some teenagers in, they have been traumatised in some way and are sitting waiting. I say to them ‘come on kids, let’s go’ someone says they’re not kids, I explained that I used the term in a general sense. The teenagers are supposed to be going with me to be cared for. What is comforting about many of my experiences is that there always seems to be a lot of healing going on in the astral, no one is ever abandoned, there are many beings who are constantly trying to help people whose life on Earth has left them traumatised. I think it’s important to remember that life here on planet Earth isn’t always easy, we need to be gentle with ourselves and give ourselves time to deal with things that happen, indeed we can also ask directly for healing. Whatever happens we can be sure that we are never alone.

10-03-2022 I really felt like have an OBE this morning, and kept trying each time I woke up, but nothing, then I woke up an hour before the time I usually get up and thought well it’s now or that’s it until tomorrow night. I repeated ‘Now I’m out-of-body’ a few times, and went back to sleep. I started dreaming. I am out for a walk and I bump into someone I know, a young man, though when I wake up I’m not sure who this person is, however the feeling in the dream that I knew him was very strong. Maybe in this life I know him with a different appearance. Anyway, we are chatting and I start telling him of some new paths I have been taking since the start of 2020 due to the situation in the world, but he seems distracted, there are two dogs playing and he is looking at them. We chat a little more then I have to go and I start running very fast indeed along a road called ‘Viale Monsignor Secondo Bologna’ it’s a road near where I live. I am running extremely fast and I think to myself, ‘Wow, I can’t usually run this fast’ then I realise I am dreaming, fantastic so I think ‘Off to the astral then’ and I shoot up in the air, the dream disappears and I am flying in darkness, I am flying so fast it is exhilarating, it is dark but not so dark that you can’t see, there are a few stars. There is someone underneath me, who I feel is a childhood friend who I am no longer in touch with, I don’t feel as if I am carrying him but in some way he is connected to me. We don’t speak. I say ‘take me to God’ (by God I mean the All, the Source, the Creator, the great I Am) then I realise that I really must stop saying that, as God is inside not a place to be taken, we are already in God. Then I focus inside to connect to the great ‘I Am’. I see a golden sphere of energy, the energy is moving, it is as if I am seeing my heart centre, it is like a golden flame, so beautiful. Then I wake up. Maybe the the young man in the dream is the same one who I was flying with, my childhood friend, maybe something has happened to him in the physical or maybe he was simply thinking of me, who knows I have no contact with him so I doubt if I will know, at least in this lifetime. If there was music in the background of this experience it would have been ‘Don’t Stop Me Now’ by Queen or ‘Unstoppable’ by Sia. The golden flame of energy was beautiful, we all have this in our hearts it is through this golden flame that lies our connection with the Divine.

Nov 27 2021Because of the difficulty in remembering the order or multiple OBEs the order of the below may be different, but I will put them together as best as I can. I wake up in the mind awake body asleep state and go towards the window. It is a little dark and the window seems a little difficult to get through, at the time of this experience I was working on a new project concerned with healing so in the OBE I think maybe I am not supposed to go anywhere but here in my room and give myself some healing. So I go back to my bed with the thought in mind that I might get dragged back into my physical body. However, once at my bed I see that there is no sleeping body so I presume I am in an astral version of my room. In healing, intention is very important so I thought even if my physical body isn’t visible using intention the healing might get where I want it to go. Now I don’t have anything in particular wrong with me just the usual menopause related stuff, but healing for me goes deeper than having something seriously wrong in the physical body. There may be energy centres which need to be realigned, or even something brewing that I’m not aware of, there are many things that we may not be conscious of. So I float above the place where my sleeping body would be in the physical and send healing energy into it. As I am doing so I see thin strands of silver and little balls or spheres of gold fall onto the bed. Then I wake up once again awake in my sleeping body. I get out again this time manage to get through the window, it is dark outside I demand light more than once and slowly it becomes a little lighter. I thank the Divine for the OBEs I am having and ask to be filled with divine light. After that I feel invincible and take off the jacket I’m wearing, maybe this represents the shedding of physical energies, raising my level of vibration. I just want to fly fast and I feel as if I am exploding with energy. I am naked on top but aware that I might happen upon an astral place which requires me to be clothed so I keep the jacket with me. I have a vision of a city where the buildings are exploding violently, no one is getting hurt it is as if there is a discharge of energy that is in a way relieving. As if the energy cannot be contained and has to be changed into something else, I see flames as the buildings explode. Large orange flames. The memory starts to fade I fly into some sort of sports field but I can’t remember anything that makes sense. I’m back in my body, mind aware, body asleep I get up out of my body and try to go through the window again but it is small and I get the feeling I need to go downstairs, there is someone down there but the memory of this escapes me. I think I ended up up back in my body a couple more times and had a couple more OBEs but I can remember only snippets so nothing would really make sense. I have to say that after all that healing and energy I didn’t feel any different that morning but as I said before we don’t often know at what level we are working, or even what we are working on, I usually leave the decisions to my higher self, I did at one point in one of the OBEs say ‘Take me where I need to be,’ but I’ m not sure at which point. It all started to get a bit confusing after being in and out a few times. In the last few years I have been investigating various methods of healing based on natural methods, for example Reiki, Sound Therapy, being around nature, astral healing and healing through dreams. My OBEs have led me to this path, for many of my experiences have involved helping people out of their traumas, indeed even at the end of the above OBEs I remember a vivid dream about an extremely violent father who was hurting his son, so it’s possible that it is all related somehow. Our health issues are not confined to the physical body, this is where they manifest, but they actually start energetically. Using astral projection we can investigate the source of our problems, using sound therapy and other such methods we can realign our frequencies to that of harmony, we can do many things to help ourselves. Out-of-body experiences are certainly fascinating and can contribute a great deal to our own individual healing as well as that of others, of course we can’t see the bigger picture so I believe we do need to trust our higher selves to know what we should be doing while we are out there, indeed while we are also awake in the physical.

17th April, 2022 I wasn’t really expecting an OBE this morning as I had a rather sleepless night, however I suddenly wake up in bed and find myself in the mind awake/body sleep state. There is something in bed with me that is trying to touch me, I get the image of an arm, behind me, it all feels a bit sleazy. I recognise the arm and the energy as lately this has happened before once with just the arm, and another time with an old man who I felt very uncomfortable with, yes sleazy is the right word. I immediately blast the arm with light and leave my body, I can’t make it to the window for some reason and fly through the wall below it. It is dark for what seemed like a long time, I try demanding light but nothing happens, I try a few times then finally I start to see some buildings. I am flying over something similar to the town where I live only there are more buildings. I feel as if I want to fly over mountains and try to teleport to some Italian mountains, nothing happens, so or my intention isn’t strong enough or I am meant to be where I am. I fly down into the town which is now nothing like where I live, the buildings are a bit dark and dreary, one in particular grabs my attention, the top floors appear empty and a bit forlorn. I ask a woman if anyone lives there and she tells me that a boy lives there alone. I receive an image of a black boy, he is sad and lonely. I see him come out of the building and I sit and talk to him. He is wearing a hat and underneath he has long dreadlock type hair. This is all I remember about the boy though I am sure there is more. I am out for a long time and I can’t remember everything. I do remember at one point being in a cave where I have several crystals and stones, it is my place it is very familiar although when I wake up I have no idea where it is. I am gathering some sparkling golden dust and placing it in a dish in the cave I am convinced that I will find it in the dish when I wake up. Maybe I did, maybe this was another me that I was aware of in the out-of-body state but not when I woke up. The being/energy in bed with me is something I need to deal with, it’s possible I already have after blasting it with light, only time will tell. Recurring experiences are very important and are often an indication that you are working on something, both recurring OBEs and dreams, I believe it is very important to investigate themes etc that repeat themselves. it could be a call for help or it could be that we are being given an opportunity to dissolve some karma. I’m recording this 10 days after the above experience and so far what I described as the sleazy old man hasn’t returned so let’s hope I got rid of him with the light blast.

12th April, 2022 It’s been a few weeks since an exit, I was beginning to think that something was blocking my frequencies, however, this morning just 30 minutes before I had to get up I had an experience. It starts off as a dream, I am lying in a dark place, there is a large screen in front of me and that is also dark. Then I start to go down and down, I feel some energy sensations and I know I am leaving my body even though I am not in my sleeping body in my bedroom. I am aware and the further I descend the deeper and more profound the feeling becomes. At some point I feel as if I need to shake off something and I kind of twist and turn and wave my arms around to get free. It could be that I am getting rid of heavy 3D energies. It is still a bit dark though I can see well, I feel quite happy, the place though dark is not ominous. Everything is in different shades of grey, there are also triangular patterns made with different shades of grey they are moving. I see a bright light a small distance away and I feel it is God/The All/The Creator, or at least more direct contact as the All is everywhere. There is another screen in front of me and I see Jesus talking, he is in the traditional image, and I think I doubt if he looked liked that, then I realise that the whole thing is being rather ironic, presented in a humorous way as a small cartoon type character appears in the corner of the screen. There is a tunnel out of this dark place, I follow it but it gets very low and narrow, I can see light on the other side so instead of taking the tunnel I just say to myself ‘now I am on the other side’ and then I sort of teletransport to the other side where there is light. I am at the top of a hill or mountain, very high up and as I look out at the view it almost takes my breath away, it feels as though I am in Scotland. Visually the countryside is normal, even a bit barren but the feeling I get from it is so deep and profound, I wonder if I am seeing/feeling Scotland in the fifth dimension. I fly down to a pond where there are some fish and I walk along side it, I see a man filling up the pond with water, he tells me that the fish need more water, and I see in some parts the pond is a bit shallow. After this I wake up. I felt so good in this experience, although nothing really happened outwardly, as I was going down it felt so deep and it was a relief to feel the depth, it is difficult to describe. The depth of the countryside was amazing too and flying down into the valley from the top of the hill or mountain was incredible. This is an addition from the following day, as I had a few thoughts about my experience and the feeling of depth that I had, and why it felt such a relief to have that feeling, I think it’s because it’s our natural state of being. It is in fact our natural state of being to feel more, to be more widely conscious and to feel that depth in our lives, in our environment, in people, in animals, in plants and in everything that surrounds us and that’s why it felt such a relief; we have veered away from our natural selves during our lives on Earth, all of them, and I do believe now it’s time to get that back. Thanks for listening/reading. Ali.

From August 2016 This morning I had a dream, one of those dreams that stay with you during the day, possibly a recollection of an ‘astral rescue’ brought back in the form of a dream. This dream is extremely dramatic and heart-wrenching and so very real. I am a child and we are at my old school but I’m not me I am a boy. We are being kept hostage there are a lot of us and the men holding us are crazy as if they are on drugs. They will shoot children on an angry whim. It is terrifying. One of the men is angry and he notices our group of children, he comes over and gets us all to stand up while he points his gun at us. I know it is my turn as he points his gun at me I know I am about to die. I remember I am wearing a white T-shirt, he is about to pull the trigger and I jump up in the air and shout ‘Thank you Life!’ as I want to thank life for the little I have had. The man fires but it misses me, he shoots again, but misses then he gets distracted. He then starts firing with a machine gun and we duck, miraculously he missed us all. Then I find myself in a room there is a gap in the wall and there are some people outside, no one knows we are being kept hostage I try to get their attention, at first they think we are joking then we write a big black H for Help on a piece of paper. One of the people is a young man dressed in a black leather jacket and black trousers sitting at a table drinking something in a black mug. We start to hear voices that aren’t of our captors and we know we are just about to be rescued. The door opens and the police come in, I almost collapse from relief, the emotion is so real, such relief. There is another child with me, my sister in the dream, and we hug crying, then we leave the room. As I walk I see the young man who has rescued us, we smile at each other. The emotions in this dream are so strong I wake up exhausted. Looking on internet this morning I thought there might have been a hostage situation somewhere. Then I saw that tomorrow back in 2004 was the first day of the Beslan school tragedy. Consciously I had no idea. I got to thinking this morning that these events happen and we almost forget completely about them as we get on with our lives, losing ourselves in our own ‘busyness’ however around the time of the anniversary of the event maybe we pick up on the emotion of the people involved and so it looms up in our subconscious. Furthermore, having experienced the terror in the dream I wonder how many children remained locked in that terror not realising even that they had died, repeating the same scenario over and over. Maybe when people remember these events and tune into the people who have died, then an opening occurs so that guides can get through to reach them and guide them out, like the young man in black who seemed to be waiting for a way to get in. There must be a lot of people in Russia this week thinking back to 1st September 2004 and the people they lost. The young man in black seemed familiar I felt a strong connection, years ago I had a guide I called the man in black as he was the cool silent type and always in black. This guy seemed a younger version of him, I can’t help thinking that he could have been another version of myself.

27th February 2022 I woke up during the night, repeated the affirmation, ‘Now I’m out of body’ a few times and went back to sleep, I start dreaming then in the dream I see a door and I go through it, I immediately become lucid and know I am in the astral, I know I’m not in a lucid dream as the atmosphere is very different. I find when using the affirmation ‘Now I’m out-of-body’ often that’s exactly what happens, I switch from one moment to the next, from dreaming to the astral as the affirmation demands. I’m flying in this wonderful place the atmosphere is so warm and loving, it feels wonderful, there is a beautiful blue sky and there is a child below me playing ball. I feel I would like to stay there but there is work to be done and I say to my higher self ‘take me where I need to be, where I can do the most for humanity,’ I am whisked off and the atmosphere changes dramatically to one of dim light, dull colours and I find myself in a prison built of stone, the stone is damp, children are in prison too but to a lesser degree than the adults, the adults are closed in rooms with only a barred window in the door and they are peering out, there are children outside the rooms just sitting, though it is all a prison. I don’t remember anything more after that, I think I just woke up. A fairly short experience but such a contrast between the two places, one beautiful, warm and loving, outside in nature, the other inside cold damp stone. In the first there is a child playing freely in the second no one is playing but stark faces look through bars. Maybe this is expressing the two different possibilities for humanity, the prison is our own, the one we make for ourselves as we have become so alienated from who we truly are, we are imprisoned by our own limitations and refusal to see the truth of our present existence and how it only adds to our imprisonment. The children sitting outside the rooms reminds me of this quote. “I believe that this neglected, wounded, inner child of the past is the major source of human misery.” – John Bradshaw It’s interesting how the children were not yet behind the bars, though still in the prison maybe because children are freer in their minds, not yet fully moulded by our society and the child playing ball maybe a symbol of how we should become. Just enjoying the simple things in life and not making everything so complicated. Maybe the children not yet behind bars can show the adults the way to freedom. Maybe our happiness and the way to grow into who we truly are is through the eyes of children, through our inner child, which is found in the heart, through connecting with our inner child we can open the doors to infinity. I’d like to leave you with this quote by Nietzsche. “We must remain as close to the flowers, the grass, and the butterflies as the child is who is not yet so much taller than they are.” – Friedrich Nietzsche.

13th February, 2022 So what’s been happening astrally with me this past week or so, well the morning of the 13th February I had a few exits though I wasn’t really expecting it as it was getting a bit too near morning, however I had 3 exits, though they didn’t last very long, in the first I found it a bit difficult to get up out of my body, I think the blanket I had on me was a bit heavy and I was actually facing the other side, not the exit side of the bed, I was curled up with my arms loosely folded. I remember feeling a bit ‘in the wrong direction’ and trying to push the heavy cover off me. Anyway I feel the fizzy sensations and struggle a bit to out of my body, I manage it but still feel the pull my physical body has on me. I get round the corner of the room and fly through the window. Outside it is a bit dark but there are bright stars in the sky. I say to my higher self ‘Take me where I need to be’ and I shot off, I had my arm out in front of me and I remember seeing my fist shining with white light. After that I don’t remember what I did, maybe some things that we do when we are out there just don’t fit into the human brain, or even some things it is better that we don’t remember or even aren’t allowed to remember. The morning of 20th February I had one of those blasting the neg experiences and it was similar in a way to an experience I had a while back where first I had the bad dream then I became more lucid and able to deal with the negative energy. This time I am in a dream and I am looking at someone sitting on the bed yet I also feel the person’s fear, from his/her point of view, the person is eating something that looks like raw meat and then realises what they are doing and is shocked, there is negative energy in the room and I want to wake up from the dream, I try to wake up but can’t, I try to shout help in the dream but it is so difficult to say the word out loud, I force myself and I wake myself up shouting ‘help’. I always feel a bit silly when that happens lol. I go back to sleep and wake up in mind awake body asleep, at first I don’t realise as it all seems so real, my husband gets in bed with me and I can’t really tell if I am really awake or not. Then I start to feel negative energy in the room and my husband seems to disappear, I sit up out of my body and I see a man sorting through papers on the little desk at the end of the bed. He doesn’t seem interested in me, just the papers, in my normal waking reality there are no papers on the desk, just a few objects. However, poking its head just above the end of the bed is a creature, and it is that which is causing the negative energy, it is quite overwhelming but I jump up completely out of my body and tell the creature that this is my OBE and he shouldn’t be here, I don’t really know why I said, I think what I meant was that it was my room, my space, and he shouldn’t be here. I blast him with light and then I wake up. As I have said in my last two episodes this certainly does seem a time for me to be getting rid of negative energy. I said to my higher self recently that I am available for any work that my higher self knows I am capable of doing in order to help raise the vibration of Earth and humanity, and I believe the ‘assignments’ are coming. I let my higher self decide what I should be doing as it knows better than me what I can do and can’t do and also where I should be doing it. Indeed, how I can make the most difference. When we leave our bodies we can so easily get distracted and even forget what we intended to do once we are out, so this is why I have got into the habit of saying to my higher self ‘take me where I need to be’ or ‘take me where I can do the most good’, I don’t always say it sometimes I just need to take a break and fly in deep beautiful valleys just to recharge but if you find yourself in the astral and you don’t know what to do leaving it up to your higher self can get really interesting and as your higher self has your best interests at heart you know you are doing things for your own personal development and for the good of the world. Happy travels! Ali

05-02-2022 It’s great having multiple exits but as I’ve said before they can get confusing. I wake up in mind awake/body asleep and feel the tell tale electrical sensations that tell me I’m about to leave my body. So I get up out of my body and go over to the window to fly through, however, strangely it has shutters over it on the inside, usually there is nothing. I then hear a cat meow and a little kitten walks past me, then pick it up though it’s not very happy and bites me, I shut it in the bathroom for now as the dog might come up. I’m not really thinking straight as I know my dog is shut in a room downstairs presumably asleep but then he pops in my room, maybe an astral version lol or maybe these are just thought forms invented by my own mind. I re-enter my body and leave it again, I go over to the window and this time there are no shutters and I fly through. Below me is a town, it is dark but I can see the lights of of the buildings, I think I say to my higher self ‘take me where I need to be,’ and I shoot off at high speed, though I feel there is something I need to do in the town below me. I’m not sure if what happened next is the real order or whether I re-entered my body and exited again. I fly down to the town and go into a house where there is a man who needs help for his daughter, I feel we are in the past, his daughter is in a kind of institution where there are other children, they all are subjected to electric shock treatment. It’s not working for his daughter and she has to get sent to Rome for further treatment. I don’t remember anymore though I know there was more to it than this. The next thing I remember is being back in my body and feeling strong electrical sensations, I get up out of my body once more, and find myself with a dilemma, the bathroom door is open and inside are 3 or 4 children all are ill and need help, I’m not sure what I should do, stay in my room or fly through the window, after that I don’t remember anything and I wake up. I am starting to think that multiple exits don’t work for my mind lol as I can’t always remember the order of events and things get mixed up. However, going in and out of your body multiple times is a real buzz, and in these experiences there is certainly an indication that I need to stay in my room, I believe this could be saying ‘work on yourself’ the ill children in the bathroom could represent aspects of myself that need cleansing, or they are children who have come to be to be cleansed, either way it’s the job that is important not the reason or for whom. I put the kitten in the bathroom too, a helpless little thing though not without defenses as it bit me. When I woke up I forced myself to write a few notes about my experiences, it is sometimes difficult when you are half asleep to motivate yourself to write down OBEs, lucid dreams or dreams, but you just have to write a few key words and you will be able to salvage the memory. On waking I had completely forgotten about the kitten and the man with the daughter who needed help and although some things I still didn’t remember my notes helped me in bringing back some details. So always keep pen and paper near your bed. I think this is a period of life on Earth where we are being required to cleanse ourselves of negative energy, from all that may lower our vibration, so wherever you are stay focused in joy, if feelings come up that cause disharmony don’t brush them under the carpet, acknowledge them and try to discover the cause, if there is no apparent cause visualise yourself transmuting that lower vibration type energy to positive higher vibration energy. Remember, we are a work in progress, we just have to keep going and doing the inner work. Happy travels!

1st February, 2022. Once again I find myself in my parents’ house in England and I start to feel slight vibrations, but more a fizzy feeling again like a similar experience I feel as if I am waking up already in the astral, again as in my previous experience of a few days ago where I am talking to a tree. I feel a bit heavy and the window appears to be a bit difficult to fly through so I open the window and fly out. I don’t do a very good job and land in a big puddle of water on the ground, (this could be interference from the weather in the physical as it was raining during the night), the garden is very wet and I think that it’s a good job I’m out-of-body so I won’t get wet. It must have looked quite funny to anyone watching, me sitting in a big puddle of water. There is someone with me and we fly a little I am still finding it a bit difficult I see some big rocks in the distance, it looks like an island, I want to go but seeing that I am having unusual flying problems I voice my doubt to the person with me that I might end up in the water, but then I think well, I’m out-of-body so I won’t drown, then I look at the island again and it seems a lot nearer. We fly over, it has a truly wonderful atmosphere. There are artifacts positioned at different places, it is like a library of ancient, precious objects, there is also a book and I go over to have a look, it is an ancient book with predictions in it from the beginning of time. I start to lose lucidity at this point and it all gets a bit dreamlike, I am with a couple of other people and we are in Dr. Who’s Tardis, but I remark that it is a bit strange as it is the same size inside as outside. Anyway we go back in time as we have to help someone. I don’t really remember any more than that, more stuff happened but it escapes my memory, the only thing I do remember, as my lucidity came back, is the end because it is so intense. I am going down and down at an amazing speed, there is a very large being with me at least I can sense very big hands, I ask for the Divine for a split second I feel it might be a higher being but then I feel the hands start to touch me and I feel strong negative energy. I summon all the energy I can, put my arms out to the side with palms facing outwards and tell it to go away with a sort of energetic push. I then wake up back where I started at my parents’ house in the middle of the push I hear myself let out a sort of big grunt as my hands push away the energy then I wake up in my own house. It’s possible that the negative energy I had to deal with at the end was responsible for my difficulty in flying in the first part of the experience, the going back in time part could have referred to another life responsible for the producing the energy. Maybe the whole experience was about some energy clearing work, detoxing my energy body.

30th January, 2022 I am asleep in my parents’ house in England and I wake up in that body, when this happens I believe I am already in the astral, it is as if I am mind awake/body asleep in that body, I get up out of my body, there is someone with me, my Dad is also there. To start with we just hang around the house for a bit and the person with me, not sure if male or female, starts to change his/her appearance as if manipulating energy and he/she becomes what looks like a sort of red gel, but not solid red gel there are patches of white too. We fly out into the garden where there are some big, beautiful trees, we fly off to the left, and I pass a smallish tree, my friend is behind me and tells me to wait as the tree knows me. I go back to the tree and it says ‘Hello’ it says that it recognizes me but hasn’t seen me for ages. Maybe it remembers me from when I used to play in the garden as a child. We have a little conversation and it tells me that trees move, tree spirits move. I am getting some sort of name in my head but I have such difficulty in trying to remember it, as if it keeps changing. The name I wake up with in something like ‘Fantacadebra’ but this isn’t how the name started out. The tree also tells me that some trees die when they have a lump on their side, I have an image in my head of a smallish circular protrusion coming from the upper side of a tree, a sort of purple shade on top. The tree spirit tells me this is a critical time for Nature. Then I see, what I believe is the spirit of the tree, disappearing like a black silhouette in the distance. It is a bit like a stick person hard to describe, this is one of those times when I wish I was good at art. I seem to be having more and more ‘tree experiences’ this one I think had a message for everyone when the tree spirit says that this is a critical time for Nature, if this is true for Nature it is also true for us as without Nature we don’t stand much of a chance of survival. We must make more of an effort to look after what nourishes us. Thanks for listening, Happy travels!

18th January 2022 I had a bit of an active night, first of all I had a bit of a nightmare where I am at my parents house in England, it is night time and there is this terrible negative energy I feel I am being sucked in by it, it is very difficult to resist, I call my mum for help, to wake me up and she comes in. However, it keeps on and comes in waves, in the end I really wake up. It freaked me out enough to put a light on for half hour, I didn’t want to go back to sleep too soon or it would still be there. On hindsight, in the cold light of day I should’ve gone back and tried to transmute the energy to positive. Maybe I missed out on an opportunity or maybe it was just to show me the importance of transmuting negative energy in whatever form. In the end I went back to sleep. I find myself in the mind awake body asleep state and leave my body, I fly through the window and up in the air, there is a large tree and I can feel it’s branches, it is quite dark but slowly I see through the branches and before me, in the moonlight, is a small lake, the scene is beautiful there are dolphins in the lake and other fish, the water is crystal clear, it feels magical. I fly down to the edge of the lake where there is a man in a suit I don’t see his face, he appears to be a guide though says nothing. I thank the Divine or such a wonderful experience and I tell the man I want to do something to help humanity. At that moment I see a girl in a cloak with the hood on, walking on a ridge a little way away, then she comes closer her name is ‘Whis’, she is very pretty. Then suddenly I am with a young man who is in trouble because of something he did in the past, he did something dishonest to acquire money. His name as I understand it is ‘Key or Ky’, the girl and him are partners. The young man kept saying to me ‘You don’t know, you don’t know’. I then have an image of the girl only this time she is chained up and skin is falling off her, underneath it is as if she is a robot. There is another woman as well who seems to be in the same state, skin falling off and a robot underneath. When I woke up at some time during the night the clock said 2.22 but not sure if it was before of after the above. This does all seem a bit random, I’ve done a bit of digging about the word whiskey or whisky and it does actually come from the Gaelic for water of life, believe it or not. As there was a beautiful lake, it could be related, or Whis is the key, whoever or whatever ‘Whis’ means. However, I really don’t have much of clue at he moment. I did find out that the origins of the word in Gaelic means the water of life – which in turn could mean Holy Spirit. Anyway I’m still working on this one. Hope you’re all well. Happy travels!

Hi! Time to get back into the rhythm of things after the festivities, there has been a lot going on in Italy in more ways than one, we had a nice family Christmas then of course there’s all the stuff that is going on in the world at the moment that can weigh a bit heavy. However, it is more important than ever to focus on things that make us feel good, to focus on strengthening our connection to the Light and know that all will be OK.Today I’d like to tell you about an experience I had at the end of October 2021. I wake up already in the Astral, I am in an astral version of my garden in Italy, it feels good to be out and about, for some reason I am pushing my bike up the steps in the garden but as I think about it the bike disappears. I fly up in the air to the end of the garden. Two of my nephews are there with their partners and they tell me that they are practicing. I fly off to the left of the garden and say to my higher self ‘Take me where I need to be’. I immediately get rushed off somewhere, as I’m speeding along I think to myself why not try to commune with the Divine, I send out the intention and say ‘take me to God which seems a bit silly now as if I needed to be taken somewhere, when God is everywhere. Infact, I get my answer and a vision opens in my mind of Mika singing a few lines from his song ‘Grace Kelly’, ‘I can be brown, I can be blue, I can be violet sky’. I then find myself watching a kind of concert where faces keep coming forward and back, not particularly nice faces, I am watching the concert with a guy through a window. I turn round towards the guy, it’s raining and I realize we are in France. It is a bit dreary. I wake up. I always try to take away something from each experience I have, the images, the people, places and objects are all a unique scene that will probably never repeat itself in exactly the same way, it is so with all dreams and OBEs, even with our lives. Imagine all the new dreams and OBEs being created all over the world by humans, even if people don’t remember they are still created, it is an important part of who we are but unfortunately so often pushed under the carpet in the Western world in the rush that our lives have become. The French guy was most probably someone who needed help seeing as the scene felt a bit dreary, however, the vision of Mika singing ‘I can be brown, I can be blue, I can be violet sky’ a message from the Divine reminding me that the Divine is omnipresent, present everywhere at the same time. We can constantly commune with God, the All, the Creator, whichever term you use, if we open up and let the ‘voice’ and the ‘colours’ in, if we let the sound/vibration/energy in. Interestingly, as I was writing this up back in October while sitting outside a bar with coffee on a beautiful sunny morning, a guy walked in wearing an amazing tracksuit full of colour. Over the Christmas period I only had one or two OBEs, with my kids home there is more physical reality stuff to get on with like shopping and cooking, did a lot of that lol. Not a bad thing though we are actually here to live after all, I think it’s important to keep a good balance between physical and spiritual life. Astral projection should be used to complement our lives not to escape from it though lately a bit of astral light relief is indeed welcome. Hope everyone is having a good start to the year, remember stay centred and stay focused on the good things in the world. Happy travels!.

One of my greatest pleasures in life is writing up an OBE in the morning, this morning, however, I don’t remember any. I do think it is important not to feel frustrated if we try but don’t manage to have an out-of-body experience. Getting frustrated can have a negative effect. Dreams can be profound too and give us much-needed messages and wisdom. I have a lot of dreams during the night, I love dreaming too, in fact it was my dreaming that got me on the road to astral projection. As I went deeper into my dreams, trying to understand them, so my mindset slowly changed. One very important lucid dream I had during this period was where I was sitting inside my head with my guide, we were sitting on a rubbish tip. My guide was pointing out all the stuff I needed to throw out in order to clear some space in my head. This reminds me of a quote by William Buhlman: “During out-of-body exploration we confront many interesting experiences; these include vibrational state fears, thought forms, self made and external energy creations, contact with non-physical inhabitants and countless other issues. However, the single most pervasive issue we experience is our own indoctrinated mindset and state of consciousness. Our perception of reality is distorted by a collection of falsehoods and beliefs and complicated even further by our grossly inaccurate form based self-image. Our ability to effectively explore thought responsive realities is often blocked by our own conscious and subconscious mind.”  William Buhlman, William’s site is astralinfo.org My lucid dream was telling me in a very clear way that if I wanted to progress I needed to unblock my mind. This is often the reason why our OBE attempts may not be successful. It is a continual process, even before we go to sleep we need to clear our minds of thoughts that may interfere with our intentions to OBE. All those thoughts we have running round in our heads, thoughts about the day passed, the next day, a film on tv  etc. can drive our dreaming mind crazy; we have to shut them down or at least put them on hold. The way I try to put it all on hold is to tell myself I can’t do anything about it all now while in bed trying to sleep. If I have a problem I may well get an answer in a dream but if my mind isn’t clear my dreams may turn out a jumbled mess. Robert Bruce had a similar experience, he was instructed by a master to take his belief system apart and then rebuild it based on personal experience, common sense and logic. He calls this process the ‘Catch Basket Concept’ and you can read more about this on this site Astral Dynamics. It is so important to look at your beliefs continuously and examine them, there is so much going on in our world at the moment that it is easy to be influenced by the constant hammering we are getting from all angles about what we should believe. To base our beliefs on personal experience, common sense and logic is good advice. The astral is a very ‘reactive’ environment, and will often reflect our beliefs so we must bear this in mind when we are out there and when examining our experiences, we may also be influenced by the collective human experience. We are all connected by a field of energy, and because of this we can pick up on information from other lives, from other cultures throughout history, every thought, word and deed is recorded and accessible, imagine the wealth of information and experiences, it is truly mind-blowing. It is inevitable that our beliefs will influence our out-of-body experiences so it is important to be able to recognise this and work with it, always willing to change our beliefs if we feel they are no longer valid for us. I am reminded of part of a quote by Bruce lee. “Empty your mind. Be formless, shapeless, like water…………..Be water, my friend.” Thank you for reading/listening, Happy travels!

There’s a popular lucid dreaming technique which involves looking at your hands at various intervals during the day and asking yourself if you are dreaming, if you do this often enough you’ll do it in your dream and when you ask the question the answer will be, ‘Yes I’m dreaming’ and you will become lucid. When my daughter had the OBE she described in the previous episode she used the same idea of looking at her hands but in a different way. Here’s her describing what she did. (Approximate script) I pictured myself in my head looking at my hands, it’s a bit hard to describe actually, what I was doing was imagining myself looking at my hands and then picturing the window in my bedroom and thinking about me going towards the window, because what I used to do before was actually opening my eyes an then it was just a matter of ‘Am I out-of-body am I not out-of-body’ and then most of the time I’ll be not out-of-body because it would be me physically moving and opening my eyes, whereas if I keep everything in my mind, I think it works better, just think about it and picture myself looking at my hands and the window, and I just automatically switch to being out-of-body so I don’t need to open my eyes because this was what I was doing before, as I wanted to look at myself in bed, my physical body. This shows how visualization can help you to have OBEs. One of the techniques I used to use a lot was a combination of visual and tactile, I still use this technique but not as often. It involves visualizing a place where I enjoy being, a place I know well which I can really bring to life, so much so that I can even feel what it’s like to be there, I imagine how things feel and play the scene over and over in my mind. I imagine myself flying there, how I can feel the breeze on my face etc. I make it as real as I can. The place I use is my parents back garden as I was always outside as a child and I know the garden so well. It’s important that the location you choose has a positive vibe. You have to be consistent and use the same place each time you try, it may not work the first time and this is normal, we are programming ourselves so we need to keep re-enforcing the program and repeat the process over and over. Maybe you have a photo of the location, you can carry it around with you and if you find yourself with a few spare moments get out the photo and imagine yourself there, bring it to life, how does the grass feel, or if you have chosen a beach, how does the sand feel under your feet or the waves gently lapping at your feet, can you hear the seagulls? I would often end up in my astral garden, I still do, and then I decide what I am going to do or I interact with who or what is in the garden. I’ve had some interesting meetings in my garden over the years. So start to think about your special place bring it to life and imagine yourself there before you go to sleep and at any time during the night when you wake up, Thanks for listening/reading, Happy travels!
