Celtic, when you astrally projected, how did it happen? Did you do it on purpose?
I'm sorry. so much going on here, I totally forgot about this thread and only just recalled it. The first few times I astrally projected, it was something that just occurred. I didn't plan it at all and had no idea how to start it/force it. However, I found a system that worked well for me to make it occur.
I'd meditate a bit first and then if I had a place I wanted to go to--I would draw a picture of it on a piece of paper. Not that I'm a great artist, but for example, once I decided to try and visit a person I knew who lived in Australia--while I live in the U.S. I had never been to Australia before, but I drew a rough sketch of the U.S. and then one of Australia and I put this woman's name on the sketch also in the part that was Australia--and then I closed my eyes and did a visualization of me being in Australia at this woman's home.
The amazing thing about this was that it worked! I swear I could feel the cool air as I left my body and 'flew' out of my home and across the land, the ocean and then land again and all of a sudden I found myself in a home. I walked room from room, remembering what the floor was like, the colors of the walls, the furniture and how it was layed out. I recall peeking into one bedroom and it was a boys room with pendants pinned to the wall over his bed. The next bedroom had this woman friend in bed sleeping--and her dog was with her. The dog sensed me, and woke up and looked at me and gave a small little bark--quietly. But the woman didn't sense me (she was a psychic medium friend) and told her dog to lay down and be quiet.
Howevr, the dog jumped out of bed and began to follow me.
I walked into the next room which was their living room and saw her husband, sitting on the couch and drinking a beer while watching television. All of this was so clear to me as if I were right there in person for real.
The next day, I shared what I experienced with her and she was so amazed, because I got everything right about what happened the night before. She had gone to bed early--right after putting her kids to bed. Her son did have pendants hanging on the wall over his bed. The dog was in bed w/her, woke up before she was asleep, and began a quiet bark--nothing sinsister, so she wasn't worried. She told him to shut up and he jumped out of bed and left. Her husband was in the living room, watching television and drinking a beer that night too. I had gotten everything right.
There were other psychics who did this same exercise and they also had the same sort of experience, having the ability to tell her house layout and the colors and the furniture pieces in it. It was all rather interesting.
After this--I used this way to help me travel astrally many times and it seemed to work pretty much every time, I think. I also would just concentrate on it and 'see' it happening in my mind--w/o drawing it on paper. But, in the beginning, it seemed to help me if I drew it first.
One of the first times I experienced this w/o even trying to do so--not even thinking of it, I traveled astrally to my daughters house - who lives hundreds of miles away from me. I entered right through her front door, and I remember standing there in the entry way and I could see both my daughter and her husband sitting on the couch watching a movie and both of their dogs were also there on the couch with them.
Their dogs jumped off the couch when they saw me and came running to me all excited that "nana" was there to visit! They were barking--but not the type of bark that was for someone knocking at the door--more of a bark that was happy and excited. My daughter and sil kept telling them to shut up and come lie down--no one was there! The poor pooches were so confused--because they could see me--they kept running to them and then running back to the door and my dau and sil would yell at them again. it was quite confusing to htem. My daughter threw one of the couch pillows towards them when they kept it up and with that, the turned and walked away--but kept looking at me too--and then I was gone.
The next day, I c. my daughter to tell her what I experienced and she was so amazed as was my son in law. I'm sure the grandpooches were still surprised and confused though as to why no one but them could see Nana had come to visit!
