whiteleaf thats mean >:( show your better than that! also i agree, its a form of manifestation. sure its not exactly, but it is nether theless when you consider it as more of a spiritual manifest (or more asa visualization)
and speaking from an ex fluff- whos to blame him? the world is full of lies! its hard to see the truth :( he might of learned his lesson, back off!
WinterLeaf, you may want to update your profile if you know what I'm getting at.
Also bayolean the chord isn't what your looking for. Sounds like you probably need more practice in meditation. You need to have more practice keeping your breathing in a state similar to astral projection. You need to teach yourself not to shut down your breathing when you enter the trance like state and that should help with your problem.
Indeed, getting better at meditation would probably help. Looking back, as a kid I would have a lot of out of body experiences, and would have difficulty controlling it. I would frequently hold my breath or tighten muscles so that I wouldn't start wandering off. It has occasionally come in handy, I have been doing weapons based martial arts for about 10 years, and one of the things I occasionally do (not often because it's draining) is use this see if anyone is sneaking up on me in Nemes melee without actually turning around ( Nemes Melee: sword fight everybody v.s. everybody in a room, don't worry we use padded weapons so we don't gore each other)

It sounds to me as if you have not actually separated your astral body from your physical one yet. It can be scary and fear causes issues while astral projecting. I suggest you practice meditation daily for a few weeks then try astral projecting again. Be sure to work on lengthening your daily practice during this time. Focus on your breathing, controlling it for a sustained period by slowing it down and then letting the body breath naturally. Be sure to then practice this just before you try astral projection again in a few weeks.
There is no conventional method to achieving astral projection.So there is nothing like doing it wrong or right in this activity, but you should research to finding the technique that works fine for you.Yet this comes by experience. Try...try...try
