Astral Projection Podcast

Summary of episode. In this episode my daughter, Francesca, describes a recent out-of-body experience, she said it was like observing the universe and felt very surreal. Great to see OBEs running in the family. Francesca runs Italianando a site all about Italian culture and language, so why not pop over and learn a few Italian phrases.

10th November, 2021 This experience illustrates another technique which I often use when trying to astral project, it is a great method as you don’t even have to wake up and do any practice, it is based on programming yourself through affirmations, obviously programming does take some time but it is certainly worth investing a few minutes before you go to sleep and even time during the day repeating affirmations. We all have times during the day when we can repeat affirmations, I wouldn’t do this is you are doing something that you need all your attention for but, for example, when we are waiting in a queue would be an ideal opportunity. The affirmation is, ‘Now I am out-of-body’ or ‘Now I am in the Astral,’ or even ‘Now I am aware,’ whichever you prefer, I use ‘Now I am out-of-body’. Affirmations are best said out loud though standing in a supermarket queue repeating them may not be the best place, in such situations I just say the words in my head, this has still worked for me. You also have to say it like you mean it, repeating affirmations and not really believing what you are saying probably won’t work, you have to say the affirmations knowing them to be true. I often become aware that I am in the Astral having totally missed the exit and I think this is due to the repetition of ‘Now I a out-of-body’ that I do on various occasions. When this happens I intuitively know I am in the Astral and it is not a lucid dream. In this particular experience I become aware as I am flying over wondrously green countryside, the colour green is so rich and it feels so good, however, as I’m flying around really enjoying myself the thought comes to me that I really should do something useful. So I say to my higher self, ‘Take m where I need to be,’ and as usual I am whisked off, I actually enjoy not knowing where I am going to end up. In front of me I can see the entrance to some sort of underground world, a white metalish door opens up and there is darkness inside, I jokingly say to my higher self, maybe this wasn’t such a good idea’. I fly through the door and come to land in an underground cavern which looks like some sort of working area. There are young people/adults there all dressed in black, some have black helmets on, and they all have a red mark on their faces, that looks a bit like a birthmark. I recognise the place as somewhere I have been before though now I have no recollection of ever being there but the feeling was strong in the experience. The people there seemed to know I was a visitor, and I believe I told them that I was out-of-body and was from Earth. They asked me what Earth was like, I can’t remember what I answered or I didn’t as it was too complicated. At one point I remember that they are cooking stuffed peppers, the ones in the shape of a horn. After that I wake up. In this experience I believe I was visiting another reality as they asked me about life on Earth, as I felt I had visited there before, this may be soe sort of ongoing thing. There is so much we don’t remember or our night time escapades and so much happening that we aren’t aware of, we can only do our best to put the pieces together. (13th Nov 2021) I had another astral experience about 3 days after the one I have just described and again it illustrates how repeating ‘Now I am out-of-body’ before sleeping often serves to wake me up once I am already in the Astral. This is what happened. I become aware and know I am in the Astral, it always feels so good just flying. I am so happy I thank the Divine for this experience. For some reason I have my right arm outstretched to the side, my palm is facing upwards and in my palm is a coffee mug. The mug is one we have had for years and it’s still going strong even though I don’t personally use it. I prefer a smaller one. Then the mug disappears in a puff. I am flying over a city there are many houses but it is a very tidy and organised city and the houses are set neatly, each house appears to be a little different though each has space around and a garden. By this time there is someone near me, I see that at least 2 of the houses are upside down, seemingly balancing on their rooves. They are not damaged in any way just upside down. I asked the person with me the reason for this and he said there had been some turbulance and this had caused the houses to turn over. I don’t remember anymore. Whether I was in another reality I’m not sure, or whether this had some personal meaning I have yet to decide, the mug is certainly personal though, it isn’t a mug I’m particularly attached to, I never use it. Maybe I have let go of whatever it symbolised to me, given that it’s been around for a long time, it could have reminded me of times past. Using affirmations is definitely not to be overlooked and can be combine

An Astral Projection ‘So Real’ Moment Oct 28th 2021 The morning before having this experience I was working on and published an episode related to mind training, which I consider of utmost importance when trying to achieve and when having out-of-body experiences. The act of focusing on that episode I believe contributed towards an experience I had the morning after, in that particular episode I speak about training the subconscious mind to wake us up in the mind awake/body asleep state, this is for sure one of the least time-consuming ways to achieve an OBE, after all we all have to sleep. Focusing the mind on what we want to achieve gives the same message to the subconscious mind and it will kick in and try to help us. That morning I suddenly become aware as I am experiencing energetic sensations and I know immediately what’s happening, so I get up out of my body. I go over to the window and fly out I am immediately in the astral as the sky is blue and it isn’t night time. A large rocket flies past, I believe this is a thought form as the day before I was talking about space travel. I continue to fly and I find myself underground in a cavern, it is where a lady called Janet lives, she is sitting in front of me and we chat. The main subject of our conversation is the ‘realness’ of our meeting, I get the feeling we are in Narnia, though it is nothing like the Narnia of the books and Janet was never a character as far as I can remember. Maybe there exists more than one Narnia. There is a pool of water in the cavern and she shows me her fish they are like koi but bigger, bright orange and white. As we are talking I am amazed how real it is, it is as if I am talking to someone in the physical, in a sense more real. I’ve had this type of experience before and the ‘realness’ never fails to shock me, we are so brainwashed into thinking that our lives on Earth is as real as it gets, but in experiences like this one it is life on Earth that fades into the distance like a dream. Then it is almost as if we create something and there are a group of us talking about how you can visit places like Narnia of the books. Janet explains that whatever is held in the mind of people, particularly on a large scale gives energy to its creation and so a place like Narnia and its characters exist as a creation of the people who tune in to it. I presume this would be true for horror scenarios too lol, a sobering thought but it makes sense since the astral is a mix of negative and positive. I create a Peter from Narnia, then I create a cadbury’s cream egg, I loved these as a kid, I think I would be sick if I ate one now. I bite of the top, a great way to eat chocolate there are no calories in the astral lol. Then I wake up. It was nearly time to get up, so I went over the action in my mind a few times while in that state of not quite awake and not quite asleep. I did go back to sleep after this and had a dream where we are going down into the Earth to combat something, each person has a kind of helper, mine is called Simon, there are guides with me and they do most of the work, one guide has a very bright green helper called something like gnash, it is a kind of a blob but with an uneven surface, it has a face and small arms and legs. Very strange. I’ve had other OBEs where I have been practising creating things, it is as if I am learning how to manipulate energy with my mind. Maybe this is one of the reasons we come to Earth to learn how to create, here it takes a lot longer for things to manifest could be because until we get control of our minds things could get rather weird. Thanks for listening

Astral projection in theory isn’t difficult in itself, as easy as staying awake when falling asleep, sounds simple doesn’t it? However, most people do need to practise and even after all the practice it still requires good mind control. I’ve lost count how many times I’ve tried this technique but have been too tired to hang on to my mind, sometimes I manage it sometimes I don’t. After all, sinking down into sleep is such a pleasant sensation when it’s cold outside and the bed is just so warm and cosy. I had my first conscious out-of-body experience using this method, but I was actually trying to lucid dream I wasn’t practising astral projection. I didn’t feel I was ready to leave my body at that time but obviously someone thought differently, I remember how wonderful it felt to slowly sink down and let my body fall asleep while I was quietly observing in the background, then as my body fell asleep I felt all tingly with energy and before I knew it I was floating above my body. So how did I do it, how did I manage to keep my mind awake while my body fell asleep? The first thing to do is make sure you are not too tired, so make sure you have a few hours sleep before trying, practising this technique as soon as you go to bed is not a good idea as your mind may not want to play until it has zoned out for a few hours. When it begins to surface again is an excellent time to try for an OBE, your body is still tired but your mind is ready for a bit of action. A good thing to do is just get up briefly to tune your mind in, don’t do too much or your body will wake up too much, just go to the loo or walk around the room. When you try to astral project don’t lie in a position that is too comfortable or you may just drop off due to habit. This is what I did that first time I went from mind awake/body awake to mind awake/body asleep. I started to imagine myself in a lift going down and down, always further down, I tried to feel as if I was going down not just visualise it. I reproduced the sensation in my body, forever further down. The trick is to keep your mind awake but without concentrating too hard, the mind should be like a quiet observer in the background, concentrating too hard will keep you awake, yet you do have to remain gently focused or your mind will wander off into thoughts, wonderings and eventually into sleep. As you sink down it is essential to keep a check on your emotions any strong emotional reactions, positive or negative will pull you out of your relaxed, focused state, so whatever happens stay cool, calm and collected during the whole process. You may see weird stuff, colours, shapes, you may hear noises, voices etc, just accept it all as normal and remain quietly present through it all. Things may even seem to get ‘physical’ in that you may feel sensations that you are not used to. You might feel sensations in your heart chakra and may or may not feel varying degrees of vibrations, these can vary from very strong vibrations to a slight tingling sensation, again stay calm, if you panic or react strongly you will wake up. Just go with it all, you can scream and shout when you wake up but while it’s all happening remain calm. Once you feel you are in the mind awake/body asleep state focus your attention on the window or any point away from your physical body, try to feel yourself floating above your physical body and over to the window. Keep the experience short for the first few OBEs then you will have more chance of remembering the whole thing when you re-enter. If you don’t succeed the first time, keep trying, each time you wake up during the night try again, don’t get disheartened, it took me a lot of practice before I had any success. Whatever you do, don’t give up, when we learn new skills it takes time, also astral projection should be treated with respect, it’s not something you should enter into lightly, at least in my opinion, reasons for learning it I believe should be focused in the positive. Like attracts like in the astral, pracitically instantaneously, so being positive and focused in love will raise your vibration and your experiences will reflect this. If learning this skill takes time for most people there may be a reason for this, as it is a process and there may be other things happening in the beyond that we aren’t aware of, preparing us for our first exit. There are many other techniques and I will be talking about a few of those in future episodes, however, when I manage it I love the feeling of staying aware while my body falls asleep it is truly fascinating.

Ever woken up wondering where you are? It’s as if you have been so far into yourself that it takes a while to get back to the physical and tune in to your surroundings. This morning I woke up with that exact feeling, it took me a few seconds to get all the information back in my head. Such a weird feeling. Even weirder is where you wake up and can’t remember which ‘me’ you are. That’s happened to me too. I’ve usually been astral projecting, my consciousness expanded into more than my Ali Wylie identity, then when I enter my body and wake up, I have to think ‘Ok, which me am I?’ Then the information downloads into my head and I remember where I live, who my family are etc etc. Astral projection really opens up your perspective on life, the world and indeed who we truly are with many different experiences as different identities. To me it makes perfect sense that we should have the experience of being different people I think as multidimensional beings we would want to learn as much as we can and experience things from different perspectives. Here on earth there is such a richness of experience that we can delve into. What I love about the astral too is how time appears to be flexible, in one OBE once I lived a whole lifetime, the experience seemed to last forever, when I woke up I couldn’t remember all the details but I remember being a man wandering around his country searching for something, always searching, always travelling it was an incredible feeling to live a whole life in less than a night, I felt quite exhausted too. Maybe that life inspired me to go on an inner journey in this life, my external journeys brought me to Italy where my inner adventures began.  “We travel, some of us forever, to seek other states, other lives, other souls.” ― Anaïs Nin

As I have mentioned in other podcast episodes I am making audios out of some blog posts, this one is a bit of a mystery to me I don’t remember it at all but I definitely wrote it. This is the importance of writing down experiences or recording them in some way as it is so easy to forget, you gain great insights from reading again at a later date. Often in the early hours of the morning I try a variation of an astral projection technique. The basic technique is keeping the mind awake while the body falls asleep. If you manage it, it is a lovely sensation, but it is not always easy. When I say lovely sensation I probably should say that it is for me, some people may experience strong vibrations, hear strange sounds etc but I generally have a very quiet exit. Anyway to the experience. While laying in bed one morning, allowing myself to sink down it struck me that a good exercise would be to let the mind drift off into the hypnagogic imagery and then bring it back before it went too far. Probably an intuition sent from my higher self. Almost like mind sit ups! It really is like strengthening your mind muscle. I did it for a while but then couldn’t hold on much longer and I drifted off. However, a little while after dropping off there I am suddenly in the mind awake/body asleep state. My mind has kicked in and I am awake, all I have to do now is fizz myself out of my body. My first instinct when I leave my body is to fly through the window, if only to get away from my physical body which can sometimes have a magnetic effect on the energy body and pull it in. So I fly through the window and into the darkness on the other side, only to find myself back in the room, I try again, through the window into the darkness ……….. only to find myself back in my room, I keep trying, it is as if I am stuck in a loop. My guides must be cracking up I probably look like a dog chasing its tail! Anyway, after about the fifth attempt the scenery changes outside the window……. but what happens defies description. It all makes perfect sense at the moment, I am talking to a little 2-dimensional man which is really a representation of something else, of a ‘people’ but what we discuss and what it is all about lies in some deep place in my memory that I can’t get back to in the morning. All that is left in my mind when I wake up is an image of a pack of cards and the image of the little man who was without a face. It strikes me now while writing this that what was happening while I was out-of-body in my room, trying to leave through the window but ending up back where I started could have been a reflection of what I was doing before falling a sleep, trying to pull my mind back from the hypnagogic imagery. Allowing your mind to experience the hypnagogic imagery and then pulling it back before sleep kicks in is a great ‘mind-muscle’ exercise. I think it is best done after you’ve had some sleep. Sleep is important and attempting to lucid dream or have an OBE if you’re tired could lead to frustration and even disturb your initial rest period, also your mind will be a lot more capable if you have already had some ‘shut eye’. We need to convince our subconscious mind that we want to become aware while we sleep, sometimes, as in this experience, I become aware in the mind awake body/asleep state, as if my subconscious wakes me up. Consistency and dedication in astral projection practice are essential so keep at it, don’t give up if nothing happens, often we aren’t aware of the progress we are making and of course don’t forget to enjoy the process because it can be fun, it can also be frustrating, if you allow yourself to become frustrated because any exercise, in any practice there’s always something to be learnt. We are trying to train our mind, our subconscious to wake us up while we are asleep and if you do keep at it, it really does work, this happens to be all the time sometimes I automatically wake up in a dream, or in the mind awake body asleep state or sometimes I wake up when I’m actually in the astral. So it is worth all the effort and believe me I did make a lot of effort when i was learning how to have out-of-body experiences and I continue to make an effort because it’s not exactly like riding a bike, as once you’ve learnt to ride you can always do it but with astral projection you have to keep practicing you have to keep at it, you have to keep training your mind to be present in that moment, to make your mind stronger because our mind can be such an important companion but it can also be our worst enemy if we let it drift off, if we continuously being it back to the present that will end up also occuring in our dreams, so keep practicing, enjoy it all, get as much as you can out of every dream, lucid dream, OBE, out of every practice that you do as that’s what is important to get what you can out of everything and in th

Mindfulness is becoming more and more popular because it actually works for many of the problems we have in life. Basically mindfulness is about being aware in life, aware of our thoughts particularly and not allowing ourselves to get involved in the endless chatter that goes on in our heads, it is about focusing on the present moment. Being present in our lives makes every moment important because we are there, living it fully, how many moments do we miss in life as we are thinking about the future or stressing about the past, before we know it months have past, years and we have lived most of that time lost in the endless noise in our minds. The more mindful you are in life so it will cross over into your dreams and out-of-body experiences, the longer you can stay focused, the longer you will remain consciously out-of-body and the more you will be able to remember afterwards. It is all too easy to lose your awareness when in the astral, this is why practicing mindfulness during the day will enhance your experiences. Sometimes when in the astral, experiences can become rather dreamlike this may be because if you are not focused you may unwittingly project your thoughts and start interacting with them, this is not necessarily a bad thing if you recognise what is happening or you realise after you wake up. We can learn a lot by seeing what is in our mind. Thought forms to me often appear a little flatter energy wise, with time you learn to tell the difference though it is not always easy. I believe it was in Waldo Viera……. That he was visiting someone in the astral who had surrounded himself with one or two thought forms of beautiful ladies, Waldolf is struck by how real they appear, his friend must have been quite adept at his thought-form creation maybe intention makes the thought forms stronger. To me astral projection is all about spiritual growth, so if a few thought forms do pop up I can learn from them to by trying to understand why that particular thing popped up. In one of Robert Bruce’s books he mentions seeing a Thomas the Tank Engine tooting on by which would be quite normal if your kids watched the program, I can still reproduce the theme tune to Thomas and it’s years since I watched an episode. Mindfulness with help you stay in observer mode and stay calm if the astral action gets a little intense and something potentially scary is happening, it will help you see things for what they are and keep you emotionally stable. Everyday spend some time practising being in observer mode, that part of you that remains indifferent to thoughts, emotions etc, it just observes, takes notes and just lets them go. This part of you remains ever in the present, it observes your thoughts about the past and the future but it doesn’t go with them. It observes your emotions but it doesn’t get involved or identify with them. Mindfulness can also help you in dreams, yes you can be mindful in dreams, you can wake up in your dreams and explore your own consciousness, a step further would be out-of-body experiences which truly take you to another level of understanding of yourself, who you are and the world around us. When we become more aware in our dreams we can notice things that are out of place and as a result wake up in the dream and become lucid, being more aware in dreams causes you to ask yourself questions like, ‘How did I get here?’ , reminds me of a song by Talking Heads, ‘Once in a Lifetime, anyway if you ask yourself this question you may realise that you haven’t a clue to how you got where you are and so may realise you are dreaming as we usually remember how we get from one place to another in the physical, while in a dream we find ourselves suddenly appearing in different places. We can use mindfulness in all aspects of our lives, be it awake or asleep, an essential tool in our journey. Happy travels!

The title of this episode is Ricky Martin and Pasta Sauce and it does all sound a bit silly, but even what may appear as silly lucid dreams may have an important message. A thought occurred to me as I was about to type up this lucid dream from my notebook, it is written in the present tense, the comments afterwards are in the past, for my mind in the physical the dream is a past event, when I write a dream I have noticed that it is more natural to write in the present. In my book Astral Dancer I wrote all the dreams and out-of-body experiences from this perspective, however I have noticed some conflict in my mind while awake, that wants to write the dream or OBE in the past. Of course this makes more sense to our linear way of thinking whereas the dreaming mind, which is related to our subconscious does not have this problem. Anyway, just an observation. I think I’ll go with my subconscious and continue with the present tense, after all it is only in the physical we need to have a linear way of thinking, or how would we ever be able to make sense of our lives? In the end all is in the now, as Seth points out, the present is our point of power and it is only through it that we can connect to who we truly are, we exist only in the present. So to the dream, I am at the top of some steps, at some sort of teaching conference. At a certain point I am putting something somewhere, it’s difficult to explain and I’m sinking into the floor which is soft, I am high up and if I sink through I will fall. Someone tells me to be careful but suddenly I realize I’m dreaming and I know I can fly so I let myself sink through the floor, I fall a little way then stop in mid-air, I’m so happy to be flying, it feels so good. I can hear music , it’s Ricky Martin, La Copa de la Vida, the Cup of Life, and I fly over to a piazza where he is doing something for charity, he is providing everyone with pasta sauce. At one point I am practicing my self-control in flying by holding myself perfectly still under a kind of pink bridge. Then I decide to go with the ‘pasta parade’, the music is playing and Ricky Martin is singing and dancing with his big smile. I join him and bottled pasta sauce appears in front of us, we dance on it and around it, it is such a joyful event, try listening ‘La Copa de la Vida’ and not dancing. When I woke up I had no idea where I was or what I was supposed to be doing, for a moment I thought I was supposed to catch a plane but it didn’t feel right, in the end I got the download, I was on holiday at the beach, it was morning and time for coffee. On occasion I’ll wake up and for a few seconds not remember which me I am, in this case I started to get the wrong download, maybe there was another me who at that time was about to get on a plane. Anyway, I got up, went for a coffee and started reading my book, the words I read were, “It’s the right place to be, in every sense. You are there, when – and where – it matters. That’s what music is telling you, too, when you’ re listening – even more, perhaps when you’re dancing – when it’s harmonious layered patterns of predictability and unpredictability make meaning itself well up from the most profound depths of your Being.” (12 Rules for Life – Jordan B. Peterson) Sometimes it’s good to just go with a dream or lucid dream and not just grab the opportunity of becoming aware to dive into the astral. Dreams and lucid dreams can give us important messages if we just allow and go along with the action. In this dream the colour red was important, the red of the pasta sauce, the song La Copa de la Vida, the Cup of Life is full of passion, La Vida es Pura pasion,  life is pure passion. Red is the colour of the first chakra, health, physical energy, grounding and stability. Why pasta sauce? Well in Italy many people make their own pasta sauce with fresh tomatoes, when I had this dream it was pasta sauce making season. People make enough to last all winter and hopefully give me some lol, so it’s about creation, working together as often families do it together, creating something healthy that lasts all winter. Maybe this dream is saying that we need passion to get us through the dark months of winter, i.e. difficult times, having a passion for something gives you energy. We need to be grounded, remember our roots, where we came from who we truly are. Pasta sauce making is a tradition going back generations. This dream gave me a blast of energy and an important message particularly in these difficult times so I thought I would pass this message on. Remember life here is transitory, in the end we all die and from a different perspective, looking back on our lives from a higher viewpoint, we may be able to see our lives in a more objective way as we are able to look at thinks globally and see all the connections.

On occasion, after one out-of-body experience I will be really buzzing and as soon as I get back in my body I’m out again, on this occasion I had 4 experiences in a row and it left me with an incredible buzz. The only problem is when having multiple experiences one after the other is that it is often difficult to remember everything. I had gone to sleep listening to the Heart Chakra Chant by Jonathan Goldman, I often mention this chant. In the first experience I woke up in the mind awake, body asleep state, I flew through the window, it was dark but I could still see, there was a line of tall pine trees in front of me, they were Italian Stone Pines, or Umbrella pines, very common where I live. I said to my higher self ‘Take me where I need to be’ and I was immediately whisked off. Milliseconds later I found myself on a ship and we were in rough seas, we were trying to save another ship which is in difficulty,however, I got pulled back to my body. I left my body again, through the window, I see the line of the same pine trees as before, which incidentally are not outside my house in this reality, again I said to my higher self, ‘Take me where I need to be,’ this time I was whisked off to Switzerland, I instinctively knew where I was even though it didn’t look like Switzerland to me. In front of me were queues of children and there was one child giving each of them a page from a folder with pictures on. There was a kind of white rocky slope and suddenly I started to hear ‘Here Comes the Sun’ the Steve Harley and Cockney Rebel version, so I naturally had a good sing and dance to it then i was drawn back to my body. I got our again but this time I only remember that I was in some sort of town, I don’t recall what happened. Back in my body again I left it again but this time I decided to see who was hanging out in my house, I don’t often investigate my house in out-of-body experiences as I find it a bit creepy, too close to home so to speak, I don’t want to bump into anything that might freak me out in my own home lol. However, for some reason this time I was curious, I went down the stairs from the attic and into one of the back bedrooms where there was a young man, I felt I knew him and we flew through the window together, we chilled in the garden, my dog, Robin, was also with us. Four OBEs in a row is exhilarating, it’s as if I was on a sort of wave of energy that was taking me back and forth. It certainly left me buzzing in the morning. Incredible. If you’d like to read more about some of my other experiences check out my book ‘Astral Dancer’ which is now released in Kindle and paperback versions, it is presently available at a special launch price, this price will be available for another week or so then it will be going up to the full price.

We are now at the end of August and in Italy at the end of the summer, it’s been a great summer for me as my family were altogether for 2 weeks which in these times is no mean feat. We had a lovely beach holiday for a week, lots of sun, sea and sand when I look back at the holiday now as summer comes to an end it reminds me of an Albert Camus quote from ‘Return to Tipasa’ 1953, 8 years after the end of the Second World War. I’m going to quote a few lines so bear with me as after I will explain how this relates to astral projection and how it has helped me in many of my experiences. “I discovered once more at Tipasa that one must keep intact in oneself a freshness, a cool wellspring of joy, love the day that escapes injustice, and return to combat having won that light. Here I recaptured the former beauty, a young sky, and I measured my luck, realizing at last that in the worst years of our madness the memory of that sky had never left me. This was what in the end had kept me from despairing. I had always known that the ruins of Tipasa were younger than our new constructions or our bomb damage. There the world began over again every day in an ever new light. O light! This is the cry of all the characters of ancient drama brought face to face with their fate. This last resort was ours, too, and I knew it now. In the middle of winter. I at last discovered that there was in me an invincible summer.” Fantastic, I have always loved that quote and reread it when I needed to raise my spirits. So what has this got to do with astral projection, well if you’ve had a great summer it’s the feeling that is important, the joy in your heart that you feel whenever you think of a great time spent with people you love, particularly in the summer as the sun and blue skies just make you feel good, I would say especially in Italy as the sky is such an amazing colour blue, maybe the summer is a little different in England but I think you get what I’m saying. Actually when I look back at the summers of my childhood in England I always remember that it was sunny…. though I’m sure it wasn’t always the case. Anyway, it’s the feeling that is important, that joy in your heart, that ‘invincible summer’, this feeling will help you raise your vibrations when you are out of body and can help you out of situations where you may feel afraid or threatened in some way, feeling joy raises your vibrations. So if at some point you feel afraid for whatever reasons just let your ‘invincible summer’ take over, feel that joy, don’t focus on the fear. I have used this method many times when I have found myself in situations I don’t like when I feel fear raising within me, I squash the fear with joy. It’s just as Peter Pan said, in J. M. Barrie’s Fairy Tales: “So come with me, where dreams are born, and time is never planned. Just think of happy things, and your heart will fly on wings, forever, in Never Never Land!” This may sound childish and corny but it is just like this in the astral, positive thoughts cause positive feelings therefore raising your vibration and helping you to fly, literally, in the lower astral realms the atmosphere is very heavy, so much so that it is impossible to fly, it’s like walking in mud. I don’t recommend going there unless you are an experienced astral projector and only if for some reason you are guided to do so. If I have gone to these realms it has always been to help someone and I have always had a guide with me. I talk a little about this idea of joy in my book Astral Dancer which is now released in Kindle and paperback versions, it is presently available at a special launch price for about 2 weeks. So if you wish to take advantage of the launch price either go to my site astralprojectionpodcast.com and click the link on the front page or search Astral Dancer on Amazon. Discovering your joy, can also help you in life especially in the period we are going through now. In the middle of this mess, this madness, we too, like Albert Camus, can find our invincible summer and carry that joy in our hearts. Thank you for listening, Happy travels!

The following episode is taken from a blog post back in November 2018, certainly worth making an audio version. I just love dreams, full of messages and symbolism, I think part of the school curriculum should be a course on how to interpret them, dreams are a gateway to discovering who we are. From dreams you can become lucid and from there go into the astral, or you can just hang out in normal dreams and enjoy the action. If you study your dreams you can often find similarities, a thread running through them, I was in a dream last night, it was about werewolves to start with, I had watched a comedy show where there was a guy dressed up as a werewolf so the image had obviously stuck in my mind. This doesn’t mean, however, that the symbolism of this creature is not relevent. Our dreaming mind takes what it finds and uses it in some way. I often listen to music while I sleep, I usually wake up at some time during the night so I play a CD, up to a few weeks ago I always used isochronic tones but lately I’ve started to use plant and stone music. I had the following dream when I went to sleep listening to a recording of a stone I have at home, a geode. In the dream there was a particular time of day, and place in town where the werewolves would emerge and go after people in the hope of turning them into one of their own. You had to avoid these places, there were werewolf police around too, to help protect the people. A friend and I had misjudged the length of time it took us to do something and we ended up in the wrong place at the wrong time being chased by a blond female werewolf. My friend managed to hit it over the head and it fell to the ground, however when I looked at her (my friend) her eyes glowed an orangey red, it seemed she had been scratched or something and had become one of them. I touched my friend and then I, too, was a werewolf. Now it didn’t actually feel too bad to be one and I realised that our fears were totally unfounded, seeing from their point of view I could understand why they were so angry, they weren’t treated well and were mis-represented. At that point I realised that I wasn’t really a werewolf and nor was my friend. I suddenly became lucid, I knew I was dreaming, so I told my dream characters I was off to the astral, my friend in the dream was following me so I told her she could come if she wanted. I was just about to ‘make the jump’ into the astral and looked up, my dragon had come to get me. I’ve met my dragon friend several times in the astral, though this time he was orange, it’s the first time as far as I can remember that he has been orange. It was so good to see him again. I climbed on his back and we went into the astral together. We were flying very fast, it was quite dark, I told my dragon to take me to God, to the Divine, I wanted to be at one with the Divine.  At this point unfortunately I woke up. It was early morning, still dark so I just went back to sleep for a while until the alarm went off. I got up, went downstairs, and caught site of the sky through the kitchen window, a marvellous orange sunrise, as if my orange dragon was flying across the sky. The picture really doesn’t do it justice, I need a decent camera. Going back to threads running through dreams, I had a similar dream to the werewolf one. Before having the dream I had gone to sleep listening to a recording of the oak tree in my garden. In this dream, I was in a hut with some other people and it was basically the same theme of these rather strange looking creatures going after people to make them the same as they were. One of them reached out and grabbed my leg under the hut, I managed to get away but it was too late as I had changed into one. Once I had changed I realised it wasn’t so bad to be one of them, just different. I left the hut and started to fly above beautiful valleys. I find that listening to plant and stone music while I sleep has an effect on my dreams, it is as if it takes me ‘deeper into me’. Another dream I had while listening to the Oak tree was along the same lines as the above two dreams. In the dream I was talking to someone about the book ‘Star Maker’ by Olaf Stapledon, this is an incredible work of science fiction describing the history of the universe, it deals with the essence of life, birth, decay and death and so much more. All seen through the eyes of a man who is having one incredible out-of-body experience. Anyway, in the dream we were talking about how all the different species were the same, all evolving, no one was superior, (this definitely relates to the two dreams above of the two different species which at first I was scared of and found rather unpleasant). We talked about the plants and their evolution and started talking about the ‘5th Evolution’ but I woke up and we didn’t finish discussing it. I wasn’t sure what the dream meant by the 5th evo

When training to have out-of-body experiences or if you already have them, intention is very important, it is a particular kind of energy and when you intend you are giving a the message to the universe that you are going to do something, you plan to do it, it is also a message to your subconscious mind. Intention is important in all things we do if we want to succeed. Think about when you are just about to get up from the table, first you decide to do it then you intend, then you do, as you intend to do it your muscles prepare for the movement. OK achieving conscious out-of-body experiences may require more effort but intention helps get things moving. So when you go to sleep or when you do your OBE practice, intend to leave your body, no ‘ifs’ or ‘buts’ or might or maybe but intend and know. It is also of benefit to have the intention of going somewhere or of doing something, this will also give your subconscious mind a nudge into helping to make it happen. Having a clear idea of what you want to do in the astral will help you focus and could even help to avoid unwanted attention from other beings who may want to disturb you. You can also use affirmations before your OBE practice or before going to sleep, written and said aloud, affirmations are always said in the present, so for example, ‘now I’m out-of-body’ if you repeat this often enough you may end up saying it in a dream and suddenly become aware. Keep your affirmations simple. Consistency is of the utmost importance even if you feel nothing has happened, our subconscious works behind the scenes we are not always aware of the progress at first, this is why it is important to keep going, don’t get despondent or give up. Developing new skills can take time, there will be progress but it probably won’t happen overnight. Remember you are working for the entire you, whatever you learn in this life will affect your other incarnations, this is why learning and spiritual development are so important as through these things you will rise the vibration of the WHOLE YOU. If you already experience OBEs intention is still important so you don’t get distracted while out-of-body. If you have some sort of health issue to resolve you could use astral projection to investigate the reason or even to heal. I did this once when I had a calcific tendonitis, I set the intention to heal it before going to sleep one night. I woke up in the mind awake, body asleep state and got up out of my body. I remember my intention to heal, I stood by my bed and saw there was a dolphin within my shoulder. I can’t remember all the details, I would have to look up the experience. I did indeed have less pain in the morning though it did come back after a few days, however, I did find a path to healing and my shoulder became more flexible and pain free. There is so much to be done in the astral, so much guidance if we can only tap into it, indeed so much guidance in our lives in general if we only stop to listen, by paying attention to signs that were sent me I managed to improve my shoulder problem immensely. I went from very little movement and a lot of pain to be able to twist it into various yoga positions, pain free. All this started with the intention to heal my shoulder without medication. Thank you for listening, remember you can get the re-release of my book Astral Dancer on Kindle at a special pre-order price of around a dollar or equivalent in your own currency. It will be released on 27th August when the price will go up. You can get the link to the Kindle pre-order offer through my website, astralprojectionpodcast.com , it’s on the front page. Happy travels!

Many of my astral experiences have their beginning in a lucid dream, in my opinion it is the easiest way to get into the astral, as the process is not so ‘shocking’. By this I mean that you don’t experience the vibrational state. I have only experienced the famous vibrations once because I asked to, I was curious as to what they were like, however, when I leave my body from the mind awake body asleep state I only feel a slight tingling sensation. So if the vibrations do disturb you then going into the astral from a lucid dream may be the best technique for you. When I started my inner journey I started off with lucid dreaming, I spent every night practicing lucid dreaming techniques whenever I woke up, sometimes it worked sometimes it didn’t but I kept trying. In the end it was a lucid dreaming technique which led me to my first OBE, the technique I was using is also an OBE technique so what happened isn’t really surprising. I was trying to keep my mind awake while I fell asleep so I could go straight into a lucid dream however instead I found myself floating above my body. There is nothing like the feeling of letting your body go to sleep while your mind stays awake during the whole process, it is incredible but not always easy and sometimes it can interfere with your sleep if you try too hard for too long, I know someone who used to take 3 hours of practicing before having an experience, and it didn’t always happen. Spending all this time is really not practical for many people as reducing sleep time may not be very healthy this is why going into the astral from a lucid dream is a valuable technique. The key is to program yourself to wake up in a dream and this can take some time, so you have to be dedicated and consistent in your practice, repetition is how we learn how to do things, it’s how we remember things, it’s how things become automatic. One technique you can use is, at regular times during the day ask yourself if you are dreaming, the answer will be no, but if you do it often enough you will end up also asking yourself the same question in your dream and the answer will be yes and you will become aware. Or you can look at your hands and ask yourself if you are dreaming again if you do this often enough during the day you will eventually do it in your dreams too. You may have dream signs, things that tend to wake me up in a dream are windows that are high up, windows and doors in dreams are often a way through into the astral if that is your intent. Being high up is also another sign that wakes me up as I love flying in dreams and in the astral, it gives me such a feeling of freedom and it is that feeling I get when I find myself high up in a dream, I want to fly off the cliff or the building etc and I realise that I can because I am dreaming and I instantly become aware. Another sign that my dreaming mind uses to wake me up is not being able to remember how I got somewhere, I ask myself ‘how did I get here’ and when I can’t remember I instantly become aware. In other podcast episodes I’ve mentioned how being in a dangerous situation often makes me lucid as I realise that I can’t be hurt as it is a dream, with this thought I become aware. Once you are lucid in a dream you simply have to set the intention to go into the astral, I usually fly up in the air very fast, sometimes there is a window to fly through or some sort of portal, sometimes the dream just disappears. You have to know that you are going into the astral, intend and know, there must be no doubt. The great thing about this technique to astral project is that you don’t lose any sleep while trying, you just have to go to sleep and dream, of course as I said earlier there’s nothing like the experience of actually stepping out of your physical body but at the same time sleep is important for our health so this method does save your sleep hours. I had an interesting experiences a few days ago into the astral from a lucid dream. I was in a dream and I came to a house, however I didn’t remember at all how I got there or even where I was. This immediately woke me up in the dream, I started floating and the dream just dissolved, I realised I was in the astral, I really felt like a good fly through forests and over mountains and sea, given the situation the world is in at the moment these moments of total freedom are so therapeutic. However, wherever I flew there were buildings, and towns and built up areas, this went on for a long time. I met a couple of guys who were also out-of-body but I don’t remember what we spoke about. I decided I needed to speak to someone spiritual, I wanted some answers about the present situation on the Earth. I asked someone where the ‘spiritual people’ were. A lady pointed down a road and I looked down it, I said ‘I will recognise the place when I see it’. She then told me to be careful as

Lately I’ve been having just a few sporadic OBEs, all very similar. I leave my body or wake up already out-of-body. I am alone or sometimes with my higher self and I am flying extremely fast in a star-studded sky, it is exhilarating. It has been very hot and this often influences my ability to leave my body, as I find it difficult to focus in the heat. Sometimes if I focus on the sound of the fan this helps, occasionally the air on my face also seems to wake me up in my sleeping body, however it can influence the whole experience too much. I remember one particular OBE when I was on holiday, it was very hot so I had the fan on. I went to sleep and the cool air on my face seemed to stimulate my awareness and I woke up in my body. As I tried to get up out of my body it felt as if there were some sort of hurricane going on, obvious the influence of the fan. This has implications for how we can help ourselves in many ways when we sleep. I have experimented with listening to music, chants and isochronic tones while sleeping and I have often lmeft my body while doing so, sometimes I can still hear the CD while I’m out. I usually choose tracks of about 60 minutes as this gives me time to relax into sleep, then I either wake up in the mind awake/body asleep state or I wake up in a dream and I go into the astral from there. I am not always successful sometimes I go directly to sleep and nothing out of the ordinary happens or I don’t remember. I do find it useful to alternate the music, chants or tones I am using as the brain does seem to get used to them. Apart from the sounds often helping me to OBE I have also found that they help my mental state in a positive way and so this has a positive effect on my body. I’ve often mentioned the heart chakra chant by Jonathan Goldman and how that has had a wonderful effect. I’m presently experimenting with other sounds and how they influence me when I sleep, it could be a good way to balance our energy body. I have one particular track that I always go back to, it is isochronic tones in theta, I have had many OBEs while listening to this at night, though as I said earlier once my brain gets used to it it loses its effect. I don’t always leave my body while listening to this track but it also helps me to dream and I love dreams too, so it helps me a great deal. I’ve also been experimenting lately with sounds from plants using a device that changes the electrical current of the plants into midi notes, I have found that on occasion I have had OBEs while listening, so in the end it could be that any type of music can stimulate your awareness while you’re asleep, the kind of music may not be important as long as it is relaxing and it helps you to relax into sleep, then it stimulates your awareness so you wake up mind awake/body asleep or you have a lucid dream. Anyway it is worth experimenting with this type of thing as I think it has many benefits not just to help you astral project but also to help you dream more and help your mental state which is particularly useful in this period of our lives, it is important to remain calm, happy and positive. And I also have to say that since I’ve been creating this plant music I’ve had more OBEs concerning nature, for example talking to trees. In one podcast episode I talk about meeting a tree spirit, I’ve also danced with trees, it’s taken me more in contact with nature, so interesting. The OBEs you have when you are speaking to plants and trees are fascinating and really opens your mind to the whole system of life on this planet the whole system of consciousness, we live in consciousness and consciousness surrounds us. This whole area is fascinating, talking to tree spirits makes you realise that it is not just us on this planet. I hope everyone has a great day, or night depending on where you are when you’re listening to this and I shall go on listening to my music and having wonderful OBEs I hope, and I hope you do too, thanks you for listening. Bye for now,

I love the way my dreaming mind helps me out when I want to get to the astral. There are several signs that it uses to try and wake me up in a dream. This is one that I have experienced a few times. I was in a lift with 2 or 3 other people, it was flying out of control a bit like the one in Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, the lift sort of shot out of a building. Seeing myself in a potentially dangerous situation often seems to wake me up in the dream, my dreaming mind has used the Willie Wonka scene on other occasions. In the dream we were flying through the air in the lift extremely fast, I felt it was a dangerous situation and at that point I became lucid, I said to the people with me, ‘it’s ok this is a dream and now I’m off to the astral.’ I immediately found myself flying in an expanse of what you might call sky though it wasn’t really sky, it was dark but pleasantly so and there were stars, I was moving so fast and I felt so full of energy and joy. I decided to stop and looked at my hands I never get tired of watching them warp and change shape, this time they were almost transparent with green energy around them, my fingers elongated and disappeared, it was fascinating. I gathered my thoughts and looked around me, I saw other people who I knew were also out- of-body. There were a couple who I felt were from Northern Europe I went over to them and asked them and they confirmed my thoughts, I then asked them what year they were from and they said 1993, I told them I was from 2021. I talked to a few others one from 1942 and another from 1920 I believe, for although in the OBE I repeated the years over and over to myself to be sure to remember, the only one I can be sure about is 1993. However, the other 2 years were definitely what we would call the past. I thought about what I could tell the Northern European couple about what their future would hold but at the time I couldn’t remember anything of note, which seems a bit silly now, how many things have happened since 1993. Maybe I wasn’t meant to say anything as it may not have even been their timeline or reality. My memory has a bit of a gap in it about what happened next. I somehow felt very deep within the expanse, I remember walking along a tunnel, we were all in a tunnel trying to find our way out, it wasn’t scary it just felt like a part of the process. This is all I could remember except that the lift dream repeated itself though I don’t remember what happened the 2nd time round. One of the things that strikes me when I return to my body after an OBE is how detached I feel from life on Earth while I’m in the astral, refreshingly so actually with all the stuff that goes on here. It’s as if there is less emotional attachment, some people ask me why I don’t go in search of a cure for some of the illnesses we have here but when I’m out there the thought doesn’t enter my mind. I rather think that the answer to curing our health issues goes deeper than simply finding an external cure that we can take into our bodies. Maybe the answer to all our problems lies inside and each of us have to search within rather than waiting for someone to deliver it to us on a plate, we have to find the way out of our own problems, just like being the the tunnel in the experience I talked about earlier, we have to find our way out, it is all part of a process. Thank you for listening/reading.

Today, 11th May 2021, I am celebrating the 11th birthday of the Astral Projection Podcast, I can’t believe it’s been 11 years since that first episode where I described my first out-of-body experience. So to commemorate I have included it in this episode. Happy travels!

This was an interesting experience, it was bit strange at the beginning as I had a bit of trouble getting away from my physical body, normally I just get up as if I am getting out of bed. This time I kind of fell to the floor as I felt so heavy, I had to drag myself away, the body can have a magnetic effect and try to pull you back in if you are too near. Anyway I managed to get a bit of a distance away, and I started to feel lighter. Instead of going through the window as I normally do I decided to float down the stairs to see what was going on in my house. As I went down the staircase I bumped into a tree, OK this may seem funny, it was a blond lady who was the essence of a tree, but it really did feel as if I had bumped into a tree. She seemed to whisk me off somewhere and her hair changed to red. She told me she was the Indian Tree (or Asian Tree) or both, I had an amazing vision of a tree with pink blossom in the garden of a house where I live, though I don’t live there as me, Ali Wylie, however, the house was very familiar to me. We had a nice conversation about trees but the only thing I remember, is that I asked her about trees and if their essence reflected the type of tree they were, using the example of the oak tree, she said yes. She then took me to a group of people, it was her group and she wanted to share something with me, but I wasn’t part of their group and the leader said it wasn’t possible. So never mind about that. The leader was a lady and she was smoking, I told her she really shouldn’t be smoking and I then decided to fly off. There was a young man beside me who I felt I knew, he tried to fly in synchronization with me, did a good job too, it felt so good. I told the young man about ‘the package game’ this is from an experience I had many years ago about a game I played in a kind of Soul School situation, again it was linked to synchronization. The young man wasn’t really listening so I made a comment about him not being interested and I flew off to fly in the forest. Then I woke up. I couldn’t find any one tree that was called the Indian or Asian tree, however that doesn’t mean that this tree doesn’t exist in another reality, or maybe in that other life wherever it may be, we have a tree in our garden that we call the Indian/Asian Tree. The house and garden in this experience is one that I recognize from other dreams and experiences, the garden is particularly beautiful. The experience regarding the ‘Package Game’ I have written about in my book ‘Astral Dancer’ which I am republishing, it is presently being formatted for Amazon, paperback and kindle, so I will let you know when it is available. I have been having a lot of experiences lately, which I need to write up form my notes, the problem is when you have so many it’s hard to keep up with writing them down. I think I might have an easier job of keeping track when the coffee bars open again here in Italy as my morning cappuccino was was always the best time to write up my adventures. Have a great day and happy travels!

This is an experience I had recently, I left my body and flew through the window, at this point I became a black boy, as often happens, I was the observer and the boy. There was an enormous window in front of me and I just smashed through it, literally, it was so exhilarating, there there was another and I did the same thing, not just flying through it as I usually do with the window in my bedroom, but by smashing the glass. It felt wonderful. Then I found myself being carried by a man, who I believe was my higher self, we were both wearing what I think were American World War Two uniforms, judging by some research I think maybe Navy Officer, but we were casual with a light blue shirt and officers cap. Then I found myself in a European town during wartime, it felt like the 1940s, only this time it was me who was carrying another man, we were dressed in the same way as my higher self and I. I was a bit concerned as for some reason I was worried that we might get caught. Some other soldiers walked past and I thought they might say something but we just exchanged greetings. The other soldiers were dressed in black and I have identified their uniforms as American 1st Lieutenant regulation field uniform. The man I was carrying at this point is walking and we jump onto a train, we just about make it as it was about to leave, now I get the distinct feeling we are in Italy, there is a light atmosphere so maybe it was just after the end of the war. We had some little biscuits with us that we got out to eat, other people on the train were eating other things too, like biscuits and cakes. We are going to Naples. This is where I woke up. I thought at first that the soldiers in black were maybe German soldiers and maybe I was helping someone to escape but having done some research I see the uniforms were all American so maybe we were in Italy at the end of the war and I was just carrying a drunk friend on our way to get a train to Naples. There was such a nice atmosphere on the train, very light-hearted. The little black boy, well who knows, maybe another me somewhere who has just made an enormous breakthrough. A interesting experience as the American soldier, especially as in this life I am living in Italy so maybe it attracted me as I have been here as a different identity. It’s mind-boggling sometimes to think we have so many different identities all gathering many different experiences to learn from. Anyway that’s it for today, just like to give a shout out to my daughter at Italianando.com for contributing to my new mic, yes I had a few technical difficulties lately with my mic of over 10 years not collaborating anymore so now I am the proud owner of a beautiful blue yeti mic. If you get time and fancy learning a bit of Italian or about the Italian culture pop over to italianando.com. You know I really have to interview my daughter as she has had some OBEs too. Happy travels, Ali. x

An amazing series of experiences, shame I couldn’t remember them all. Felt great in the morning! Happy travels, Ali

My astral projection experiences have taught me just how important the heart is in many ways, our heart is not just a pump that keeps the blood flowing, it is also  the centre that keeps our energy flowing. The heart is the centre of love and of joy. When I was a child I remember waking up in the summer holidays with the whole day for me, I remember the joy I felt just being, playing in the garden, doing stuff that kids do. That feeling of joy is important in our lives, we need to have a joy reference that we can connect to in those moments in our lives when we need to lift up our spirits. So what has this got to do with astral projection? Well it turned out that the feeling of joy, my joy reference, actually came in very handy when dealing with fear and negative energy. Some people desire to practise astral projection but their fear stops them, this is normal it is relatively unknown territory from our perspective as human on Earth. We don’t know who or what we might meet, this never changes, each time you have an out-of-body experience you cannot predict what may happen, our adventures may be a little similar at times but each person has their own world, their own experiences, to dive into. We can, however, train ourselves to react in ways which will help us deal with whatever may be thrown at us; apart from remaining objective, here I wish to discuss the importance of joy in dealing with fear. This is why the heart is so important in astral projection it is the centre of love and joy. I always warn people not to practise astral projection if they are not mentally stable or if they are depressed, this is because in the astral like attracts like so what you feel is reflected back at you. If you attempt to project and feel afraid then you my indeed start to see ominous shadows on the wall etc., this is why it is important to project in a state of joy and this is where the heart comes in. Take a moment now to access joy, think of a time when you felt true joy, I’m not talking about enjoyment or fun, I’m talking about innocent joy, try to feel where that joy lives…..it is in the heart. Love is the same, you can do the same with love. If you are want to astral project but are afraid then you must visualise yourself somewhere you love to be, feel the joy entering your heart as you see yourself flying around in that place. My favourite place was my parents’ garden as I was always in the garden as a child, it became my astral base camp, sometimes I still find myself there just after exit. So the heart centre is very important in dealing with fear, I was never afraid of having out-of-body experiences, that part I just took in my stride, maybe because back in those days there wasn’t so much information around and so there weren’t as many scary experiences to read about. Ignorance is bliss so they say. However, once I started having out of body experiences regularly so I started to have a few scary adventures, now I don’t want to put anyone off here but I do believe in being honest and to say that out-of-body experiences are all light and love would be false, maybe this is true for some people but it certainly hasn’t been true for me. This could be because my goal in astral projection has been growth, so in order to grow I’ve had to face a few inner demons. This has indeed made me stronger and taught me how to deal with negativity, this is where the heart for me has been my biggest ally. In a recent OBE there was a negative entity next to my bed, I have done a podcast episode about this, it got in bed with me, I wasn’t at all afraid, I felt waves of energy coming from my heart, the neg disappeared it was a powerful experience. In other experiences when confronted with negativity I have filled my heart with joy and love, this immediately repels the negative energy whereas feeling fear just feeds it, fear breeds fear. This is why it is so important to remain centred in love and joy. Lately as I have said in other podcast episodes I have been doing a lot of heart chakra work and a few of my OBEs have directly reflected this, I have seen my heart chakra as a kind of powerful generator capable of producing incredible energy, if it can do this in the astral then why not in the physical. In the physical our hearts are suffering, heart attacks are becoming more common this is the heart breaking, lack of the proper nourishment can break the heart, including the wrong food, too many pills, but also negative emotions, stress and over-sacrificing yourself. The heart needs to be nourished that’s why for example, having a dog helps the heart, they are so full of joy and love you can’t help responding. The heart also needs spiritual nourishment. My goal when I first started my inner journey was to find the answer to the question ‘Who am I?’ I had a deep longing to connect to something bigger than me, that longing was in my heart, it was

This episode I recorded while out for a walk in the rain, it was very refreshing if not a bit cold, but the rain did actually make good background ‘music’. I was dreaming I was asleep in my parent’s house in my old room where I used to sleep as a child, this is quite significant as when I started having out-of-body experiences I used to visualise my parents’ garden as the place I wanted to end up because it was a place where I was always happy I played there as a child so I knew the garden very well. It was very easy to bring it to life in my visualisation, in fact it became a kind of base camp; so my parents’ house could be considered an access point for the whole me, my other identities etc. I was dreaming I was asleep , I was the person asleep and I was the observer as often happens, then while I was asleep I started to wake up in the mind awake/body asleep state, now at that point I felt the usual sensations that I have when I’m just about to leave my body, I got up and flew through the window ending up straight in the astral. I found myself in a building but I wanted to leave it, to fly around in beautiful countryside. I tried to find an exit and wandered around in corridors, I think someone was following me but I don’t really remember that bit very well. I flew through a window and in front of me, in the distance, were these beautiful mountains, absolutely wonderful. My lucidity was more than 100% and I called on my higher self because I had some questions I wanted to ask, I felt I was so lucid and the answers I would get would be amazing as I would ask all the right questions but my higher self didn’t seem to appear. Now our higher self is always present so I thought ‘oh well never mind’ I shall have to fly and enjoy myself; I think that’s what my higher self wanted for me, it just wanted me to chill and enjoy myself, to fly, and feel really light. I was so lucid. I was flying nearer and nearer the mountains, the air was so clean and so fresh, if you can call it air, I suppose ‘astral air’, the energy that was surrounding me was so clean and so fresh it made me feel alive and really light. Excellent experience, I woke up feeling good and felt the need to go out for a walk in the rain and look out over the hills which are in fact covered in cloud right now but I know they’re there and I also know there is blue sky above the clouds so now I’m going to continue my walk. Have a lovely day everyone, or a lovely evening or a lovely afternoon. Bye for now! Ali x

Someone recently asked me if I could share what I have learnt from my astral projection practise, what knowledge I have brought back. Wow that really is an excellent question as sometimes we get so involved in actually doing it, trying different techniques, sharing our successes and failures that we lose track of all the wonderful insights, and yes even mind-blowing knowledge we come back with. I should say here that things I am going to discuss are based on my own experiences, many people would not even consider it knowledge but nonsense. However, what I am going to talk about are the things that at this moment in my life I feel to be true. The first thing I would like to talk about is that I have learnt that we are never alone, when we are born, when we die, in our most desperate moments we are never alone. Years and years ago before having out-of-body experiences, when I was a lot younger I used to think that we were alone, but I see now this is just an illusion, we feel separate as we see our physical body has an outline, a form, but we generally cannot see how our energy expands beyond our physical body and even mingles with that of others. We cannot see the waves of invisible communication that happens over space and time, we can however, feel it. The intuitions we feel, those dreams that make us sit up and listen, feelings, strange synchronicities all lead to that part of us that knows all is not as it seems in the physical. So how did my experiences in the astral contribute to the idea that we are never alone. For example, I met my Dad in the astral just after he died, I think he had always been a little afraid of dying, after all, who isn’t? I joked with him saying something like, ‘there you see it wasn’t so bad was it?’ He agreed and said his sister was there to meet him. Other people I know have seen angels at the moment of their passing. There is a thought to remember here though if you expect to be alone then maybe that will be your experience, even though there are always guides available, if you expect to be alone maybe they will have to respect your wishes, at least at first. There are people, including unfortunately children, who die believing so much that they are alone that this becomes their reality; people who have had a traumatic life or experience sometimes get stuck in it as it has become embedded so much in their psyche. When they die they end up reliving over and over again the same emotions, the same desperate feelings, it could be anger, shame, guilt, despair, fear, or a combination. It’s as if they build a wall around them that is difficult to break down. However, these people are never alone there are always spiritual helpers trying to reach them, trying to take the wall down brick by brick. Many times I have been part of the team of helpers trying to reach these people, I sometimes get called upon while out-of-body to help out. I am incarnated on the Earth, I have a physical body and in the astral that is recognisable as a particular type of vibration, a particular type of energy. The person who needs help may even be frightened of the higher beings as they don’t recognise the energy whereas someone like me who carries the Earth vibration may be more easily accepted and therefore it is possible communicate with them. Even if we feel we are alone we are not, inner work will take down the blocks and open up a world which is full of support. In the astral I have met many guides, I have had different ones depending on what I am working on. Some just pop in, others stay for longer, and some pop up every now and again. I have had humorous ones and very serious ones, there is one who I love to meet he has the symbolic appearance of a man like Gandalf from ‘The Lord of the Rings’ we have known each other for thousands of years, it feels so good to meet him, he knows me so well. I do not believe that the influence of these guides starts and finishes in the astral, that would not make sense as the physical is not separate from the astral, it is all connected. However where you might get a visible form in front of you in the astral in the physical their help comes in the form of intuitions, overheard conversations that stick in your mind, books, songs etc so we have to listen carefully. Also in the astral they don’t always put in an appearance, in fact they do tend to take a back seat and let you get on with it, but if you call for help they will come, one way or another. Some people call this guides ‘invisible helpers’ which is a great name for them. We are also in communication with other lives and can draw on the skills learnt in other lives, even heal other lives; it is possible that people who astral project naturally or people that find it easy to learn have learnt it in another life. I have had a strong connection with another life, this life had been a difficult one and needed healing, it’s a long story, basi

This experience was quite a short one but I enjoyed it the same, not so much the negative energy though lol. However, it was interesting how I have come a long way with dealing with this sort of energy, I experienced no fear at all and the power I felt from my heart chakra was incredible.

Today I’d like to describe an experience that I had last year in May which was quite interesting.  This morning I was just looking through a few diaries and I came across this. So I’d like to share it with you. This particular night I was put on the theta isochronic tones which I often do and I set the intention to have an out of body experience I repeated, Now I’m out of body now. I’m out of body, over and over and I let myself sink down into relaxation deeper and deeper.  Anyway I started dreaming. I found myself in my village back in England and I was out for a bike ride. I ended up in the local town, now I love going to this particular town because I enjoy chilling in the bookshop and having a coffee in their cafe. The actual bookshop in the dream wasn’t the one that is in the town but it was in a different place, it was like hidden away but it’s a place I’ve often found myself in other dreams.  Anyway as I walked along it was market day, so there was a lot of activity and I spotted my younger sister and my niece chatting to someone. I went over to say hello. I told them I had actually had no intention of ending up there but a bus came along and I’d got on it anyway. I was really looking forward to having a browse around the shop and then suddenly I found myself back in my village and I was rather annoyed as I hadn’t got to look around the bookshop and I hadn’t got to have my cappuccino. I asked myself how I had got to my village because I had no memory of the journey, then it clicked that I was dreaming. This often happens to me especially lately,  in a dream if I suddenly find myself somewhere I try to remember how I got there and if I don’t remember then that kind of wakes me up in the dream because usually in life you do actually remember how you get from A to B. After discovering I was dreaming, I set the intention to go to the astral and I immediately felt a depth to the experience.  The dream dissolved around me and then suddenly to my left there were deep white valleys, they weren’t covered in snow they wre just white, I dived into the valleys realizing I had a heavy dark jacket on, I believe this was symbolic of heavy physical energies and I struggled a bit to get it off but I managed it, I threw my bag off as well. Often I find myself carrying my bag in the astral in it there is my identity card etc so I think is symbolic of throwing off my earth identity and it’s also such a good feeling. Anyway nearby there was white cow flying with me plus another white being, for some reason I changed my flying technique to my head, often when I fly, it’s more as if it’s coming from my body and not from my mind, so anyway there was a sort of change in flying technique, at this point I started thanking the universe for my experience. I saw this metal container beside me. It was metallic, well it wasn’t really metal but I can’t really explain it in any other way, and a small being popped out. He started telling me that I’d got it all wrong with what it was all about, with God, the universe, the all etc. He had a biggish head and a small body and he was just insisting saying, ‘you’ve got it all wrong you’ve got it all wrong’. He was quite adamant about this, he seemed rather stroppy and full of himself. I started to explain to him that we live in the out-breath of God that we are simply a part of the expansion, of creation, a part of the expression of God, that we all go back home on the in-breath. Now I really don’t know where this was coming from but as often happens when you are in the astral you know more than you think you know or things come out of your mouth and you wonder when you wake up ‘well where did that come from?’So then I said to the little man. “We are all God in different expressions.”  And then the little man just scuttled off in his container as if I had surprised him. It was really quite funny. At that point I woke up. So that was the experience I wanted to share with you today. It’s quite interesting especially the part with the little man because sometimes in the astral  you meet other beings who think they know it all and they want to intimidate you, like this little man, because as soon as I started talking about how I thought things were he scuttled off as if I surprised him. So that was quite amusing. Of course white cow symbolism is important here and the colour white I do find that, at least in my astral experiences, that we do experience bleed over from the physical. Obviously we’re still incarnated so in the astral we’re still very close to the earth in a certain sense and we’re still influenced by how we live here. For example, often as soon as I leave my body I feel like I have some sort of heavy garment on and more than once I’ve had

Some general ponderings on Astral Projection.

I had an uplifting astral experience this morning, letting go can be liberating!

Ever heard music in the astral? I just love it when those astral speakers kick in.

This is an interesting experience leaving my dream body.

Interesting series of OBEs from a different body.

Sometimes it’s just too easy to forget our night time escapades, we wake up and immediately tune in to our busy days, it can really make a difference to memory recall if we spend some time just chilling before we start our day.

Out on my walk today I decided to share with you a quote I often use before I attempt to astral project.

This is a favourite astral projection technique that I have used with a lot of success.

In this episode I describe 3 techniques I have used successfully in order to reach the mind awake body asleep state, from this state you can then go on to have an out-of-body experience, it is sometimes known as Sleep Paralysis but I don’t like this term as it has negative connotations of being powerless. … Continue reading Reaching the Mind Awake Body Asleep State →
