Is astral projection really possible?
I know lucid dreaming is real because I have experienced it but lately I have been researching about astral projection and it just sounds like a fun thing to master. I heard you can look at your own self once you leave your physical body and do all kinds of kool sh*t. Anyway I have downloaded some long *** audios from YouTube and I listen through headphones at night but I haven't experienced anything special yet, sometimes I just fall asleep and other times I just feel relaxed but nothing more. I haven't been trying for too long just about a week so I'm wondering now if its possible at all or do I need more practice and patience...
Also if anyone's got any real stories to share that involves astral projections..I would be interested!

Astral projection is 100% real. It does take a lot of practice and time to accomplish it consciously. Most people give up before they do. But trust me, it's worth it. I myself have not done it intentionally exactly; the most I've done is wake up in sleep paralysis and project from there. This was enough for me to confirm its truth, though. Robert Bruce gives everything you need to achieve conscious out of body experiences in his book Astral Dynamics. I would highly recommend it (not necessarily the online version). Did you know that lucid dreaming and dreaming in general are types of out of body experience? Some say it's a projection of the mental, rather than the astral, body. We are spiritual beings having a human experience--never forget that. The more knowledge you have of this stuff now, the better equipped you will be when leaving your physical life.
To astral project, you have to be in sleep paralysis, which is really difficult to induce intentionally. It involves letting your body fall asleep with your mind kept awake, which is really counter intuitive for our bodies. Again, Robert Bruce explains how to do this in depth, but there really is no shortcut. It involves a lot of hard work and practice, without any guaranteed instant results. Despite this, it is one of the most profound experiences we humans can have, and I'm still determined to master the ability of doing it consciously. Good luck in your travels!

You know those flying or falling dreams. Those are astral projection, yet the difference is you often don't have control over them.
Astral projection (with consciousness and control) can take some people a week to achieve, yet it might take others a lifetime.

Information about the "out-of-body” experience is both vast and subjective. According to Wikipedia, one out of ten people claims to have had an out-of-body experience (OBE), and there are many different types of the experiences claimed. They range from involuntary out-of-body experiences or near-death experiences that happen after or during a trauma or accident, to what is called “astral projection" in which a person voluntarily tries to leave his/her body behind and ascend to a spiritual plane where he/she believes he/she will find truth and clarity.
A few famous Christians have had what might be called, in today’s world, an out-of-body experience, most notably the Apostle Paul. He says in 2 Corinthians 12:1-4, "I must go on boasting. Although there is nothing to be gained, I will go on to visions and revelations from the Lord. I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven. Whether it was in the body or out of the body I do not know—God knows. And I know that this man—whether in the body or apart from the body I do not know, but God knows—was caught up to paradise. He heard inexpressible things, things that man is not permitted to tell." In the verses preceding this passage, Paul lists his "boasts" or the things that, if he were counting on works and good deeds to secure his salvation, would get him into heaven. Though he seems to be referring to a third party, scholars agree that he is speaking of himself in the third person. Therefore, he is including this apparent out-of-body experience in his list of boasts. The point he is making is that any revelation that comes from outside the Bible (extra-biblical revelation) is not a reliable source, and as Paul says, "There is nothing to be gained by it." This does not mean that his out-of-body experience wasn't real, only that he is not relying on it to give him truth or really to benefit himself or other people in any way.
