Okay, so folks often ask me about this, or at least they wonder about it quietly. You know, astral projection and… well, that other thing, the “sex” part. It’s a topic that gets whispered about, sounds a bit out there, right? I got curious myself a long while back, read a few books, and saw all these wild claims. So, I figured, let me try this out and see what’s what.
Diving In: Getting Started with Astral Stuff
My journey into trying to astral project wasn’t some mystical, instant thing. It took a lot of just… trying. I started by just dedicating time, mostly at night before sleep, or sometimes early in the morning when the house was quiet. My first step was always trying to get my mind to shut up. That’s a big ask for me, usually. I’d do some basic meditation, just focusing on my breath, trying to calm the internal chatter. Sometimes it worked, sometimes my grocery list would pop in.
Then, the actual attempts. I’d lie flat on my back, no pillow, trying to get super relaxed. I mean, every muscle. I read about all the different methods:
- The ‘rope technique’ – imagining a rope hanging from the ceiling and pulling myself up, hand over hand. Felt silly at first.
- The ‘roll out’ method – trying to feel myself rolling out of my physical body, like rolling out of bed.
- Visualization – just intensely imagining myself floating, looking down at my body.
For weeks, maybe months, nothing much happened. I’d get tingly feelings, sometimes a weird buzzing, or my limbs would feel heavy or super light. A few times I got those jolts, you know, like you’re falling just as you’re about to sleep. Lots of just falling asleep, actually. Or I’d get frustrated and just give up for the night.
The First Real ‘Pop’ Out
Then, one evening, it finally happened. No drama, no big sound effect. I was lying there, doing my usual routine, trying to deepen that relaxed state, and suddenly, there was this… lightness. A feeling of separation. It was like I just… drifted upwards. Honestly, it was a bit freaky. I remember a moment of panic, but then a weird calm. I looked, and yeah, there was my body on the bed, looking all peaceful. My room looked… different. Sort of hazy, but also clearer in a strange way. I didn’t go far, just floated around a bit, observing things. It was a massive step for me.
So, About That Astral ‘Sex’ Thing…
Now, let’s get to the part many are curious about – the sex aspect in the astral. Let me be real clear: it’s not what most people imagine from movies or fantasy books. It’s not like physical sex. Not for me, anyway. It’s way more… abstract? Energetic?
What I found is that all sensations in the astral realm can be incredibly amplified. Emotions, thoughts, feelings of connection – they’re all turned up to eleven. When it came to trying to explore something like ‘sex’ or intimacy, it wasn’t about physical bodies or actions in the way we know them. It was more like a merging of consciousness, or an intense exchange of energy and emotion. Imagine feeling a deep emotional connection, but it’s like your whole being is resonating with it, not just your heart or mind.
Sometimes, I’d focus on creating an experience of intimacy. This often involved creating beautiful landscapes in my mind or just focusing on a feeling of deep love or connection with… well, sometimes it was a general feeling, sometimes a focused intent towards a sense of ‘other’. It was more like a dance of pure feeling or light, than anything physical. The sensations could be incredibly blissful, overwhelming even, but in a totally non-physical way. There’s no direct translation to physical pleasure; it’s its own category of experience. You feel it with your entire astral form, if that makes sense. Sometimes it was just about sharing an intense state of being with another consciousness I might encounter, or even one I projected from my own mind as a partner.
It was never about, you know, specific physical acts. That whole framework doesn’t really apply in the same way. It’s more about the essence of connection, the essence of pleasure, the essence of union, felt on a different plane of existence. And honestly, sometimes it was confusing, or I’d lose focus, or the experience would just dissolve. It wasn’t a controllable, on-demand thing like flipping a switch.
What I’ve Learned from All This
So, after all these years of dabbling and practicing, what’s my takeaway? Astral projection itself is a mind-bending experience. It really pushes your understanding of who you are and what consciousness is. It makes you realize there’s probably a lot more to reality than what we see with our physical eyes.
As for the ‘sex’ part, I’ve come to see it as an exploration of profound energetic connection and heightened sensation, rather than a direct copy of physical intimacy. It’s about experiencing things on a level that’s hard to put into words. It taught me that intimacy and pleasure can have many, many forms, way beyond the physical. It’s a very personal journey, and what one person experiences might be totally different for another. For me, it became less about chasing some “astral sex” fantasy and more about exploring the depth of my own consciousness and the nature of connection itself.
It’s still something I explore, though not as intensely as I used to. It’s a practice that requires patience, an open mind, and a willingness to encounter the unexpected. And it’s definitely not always a smooth ride, but the insights can be pretty incredible.
