I've been trying to astral project for years and it isn't

trying in the first place

when will they realize that the grass eats the sun.

all thought is it's own dimension...try being in it, alone, first.

actually believing astral projection is real, just smoke a bunch of weed and take some cough syrup, should give you about the same result

If you don't say what you've been doing exactly, there's no way to tell what you're doing wrong.

Jesus, don't do that
For the sake of other readers, that wasn't a psychedelics tip, that was a recipe for a psychotic break
Weed and cough syrup synergize badly

I've tried lots of things, most involving laying on my back and not moving and just visualizing or meditating, counting, etc.

>pretty much always get sleep paralysis if I fall asleep on my back
>am only able to fall asleep on my back once or twice a year

wat do?

I think astral projection might be possible but I've never tried it more than a few times. The most I can do is walk around in the memory of the place I want to see. It's as empty so I doubt it's astral projection. I read a guide on it ages ago if I find a link I'll pay it for you op. Good luck. From what I hear is nearly impossible and requires a fuck load of concentration.

I think this is the guide I read

Tell me what you do before I can tell you what you do wrong.
For example, shitload of people try to astrally project through lucid dreaming, that hardly ever works even when they get "somewhere" - because in the best case scenario they're more likely to just lucid dream about astral projection than actually project.
Generally, siddhi like that are what you develo naturally through overall spiritual practice, meditation etc. There are some books which supposedly help by teaching different techniques, but in case of many people it's like learning how to dance when they didn't even take time to learn to control their limbs well, maintain balance etc.

Sometimes I imagine getting up and walking around, sometimes I just try and "let go" and let it happen without explicitly doing anything, etc. I don't try to lucid dream though.

>>19435318
Well, you won't get anywhere if it's just you imagining shit. I can imagine all kinds of things, doesn't mean they happen. All those walking etc visualizations are that - visualizations and they are meant to be employed from meditative state, with a proper intent - visualized as in half-way to actually attempted rather than just imagined, with your sense involving them enough that it's hard to differentiate from reality. And even then those techniques don't have to simply work for you.

Go read Astral Dynamics, and practice instead of spending so much time on the internet or doing other bullshit instead of working for the things you want.

>>19433563
Do you actually have sleep paralysis? I have terrible sleep paralysis and once had a weird astral projection type of experience, but ut was horrific

Coming to /x/ for advice on this. j/k

I am guessing your expectations for AP is to have it be like movies and comic books have shown it. With a target like that in mind, you'll likely not get very noticeable results.

Instead of trying to 'go out', I'd suggest ''melting away' first. It will be a much more personal spiritual journey and exercise, and it wont be the most pleasant either. The tl:dr version is, the average ego CANT go out in AP. It instead of being a tether to the body, is a net, knotted, and binding about the spirit.

'Thinning' of the ego down to 'what it really is, and needs to be, and no more' is actually a more daunting task than achieving AP. Mostly because it is an overlooked critical first step in achieving AP, and because of how insidiously the ego looks to overdevelop , like metaphysical obesity about the self.

I focus on an item in my room, and "project" myself interacting with that item. A stack of books is the furthest I've gotten, being able to read their order in my astral state, then checking if they were really in that state when I wake up. Try something small like that that you can manage at first.
