Hello Everyone and welcome, Today’s episode is the Introduction to my book ‘Astral Dancer’ I have decided to make the audio version public albeit within my Patreon community. It would be a shame not to share it considering the amount of time and effort it took me to record it. The first part of the book is narrated by myself and Danny, Danny is another me, another life, for the sake of our timeline he is a past life. The voice of Danny is AI, I wanted to keep the audio, let’s say ‘cost effective’ so I had no option but to go down this path. If you like the introduction then I’ll be adding a chapter a week in my Patreon community, you find me at: https://www.patreon.com/aliwings So here we go….. ‘Astral Dancer’ – Astral Projection Stories Healing and Adventure from the Beyond – by Aliwings and Danny Copyright Revised Edition Copyright © 2021 by Alison WylieAll Rights Reserved.

Website: https://astralprojectionpodcast.com/ I hope you enjoy this book; it has been a real roller coaster ride for me, but I certainly wouldn’t change it for the world. I believe many people have these experiences but are often afraid to talk about them for fear of ridicule, the more quality information that is out in the world the better. I hope this book helps people to realise that they are not alone in their ‘weirdness’. If you like what you read, I would appreciate a review on Amazon, you will be helping me in my mission to spread the word. Thanks! Happy travels! Foreword (Ali)This is the second edition of Astral Dancer. The dreams and astral adventures remain the same, apart from a little editing. I have only added this foreword and added a new chapter at the end discussing the implications of my experiences. After rereading this book recently, I have realised it goes deeper than I originally thought, with connections on many levels. Previously I had written a novel though it was never published, one day about 20 years ago I sat at the kitchen table and started writing what came into my head. Around the same time, I started having a lot of dreams and astral adventures, some of which are described in ‘Astral Dancer’. It was as if the novel, called ‘The Photograph’, were the catalyst for an incredible adventure into self, crossing time and space. In ‘The Photograph’, the protagonist, Toni, is a teenager who wants to make a difference and help troubled children in difficult situations. She also had a difficult childhood, but I won’t go into details and spoil the story in case you wish to read it. Can a fictional character make a difference? At first I thought it would be by donating money from the sale of the book to a children’s charity but I realise now it went a lot deeper than that. It is interesting that while writing this in a bar with a coffee, ‘Killing Me Softly’ by Roberta Flack comes on the radio, I havealways loved this song and often in my mind when listening to this song I would see Toni, a synchronicity which has sent shivers up and down my spine. I digress slightly but I just had to mention it as the synchronicities have been many. Toni has made, and continues to make, a difference, but how is this possible? How can a character born from my imagination effect so deeply the lives of other children who have suffered? It is difficult to explain but I will try. ‘Astral Dancer’ and ‘The Photograph’ are in a sort of time loop. Originally in the latter book, in one particular chapter, I had written in a lot about the Narnia series by C.S. Lewis, then I was a little concerned with copyright laws so in the end I changed this part to include ‘Astral Dancer’ to avoid any possible complications. Maybe it was always meant to have been this way but it could never have happened until both books had been completed. Toni reads ‘Astral Dancer’ and it gives her the courage to face her fears. But without Toni, the book would never have happened in the first place hence the time loop, all made possible as everything is NOW, there is no past nor future. We live in an apparent linear fashion to make sense of our lives. However, all is in the NOW and is accessible to us. It is difficult to get our physical minds round this concept as we want beginnings and endings, we want everything in a linear fashion. Toni made a difference as she put things in motion. On some level, she was a part of me, helping me free myself from fears I was carrying from other selves and other lives. So without her courage, all the healing astral adventures I have had since would not have been possible, the healing of children that I have done in the astral would never have happened. Therefore, Toni is making a difference in a way that I could never have imagined in my wildest dreams. When I wrote the first words of ‘The Photograph’, who would have thought where those words would have taken me. “If you will practice being fictional for a while, you will understand that fictional characters are sometimes more real than people with bodies and heartbeats.” Richard Bach, Illusions: The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah There is another twist to all this – there was another parallel happening in the physical. I cannot tell this story as it is not mine to tell but ‘The Photograph’ is also symbolic of the experiences of someone I met after finishing the book. I no longer have contact with this person but, in some way, it was all connected. You will have to trust me on this one as I cannot go into detail. It was an incredible time with so many different levels interacting with each other.A significant outcome of ‘The Photograph’/‘Astral Dancer’ link is how it shows the importance of healing our inner child, our joy within. Fear stifles our joy. We can choose to heal our inner child whenever we want to though it may not be an easy journey. It is, however, a continual process, our inner child needs nurturing, it needs space. You can’t simply make the connection and then let it go, it needs to be constantly nourished. Only now, having reread both books, have the implications of my adventures started to surface in my mind, how much they are interconnected. It is possible I will never fully understand, at least while I am focused in my human brain. However, maybe one day, with expanded consciousness, I will be able to see the whole picture. Introduction (Ali)About me…… I am a housewife and mother. I would describe myself as quite normal, although there are some members of my family who might disagree! I have simply trained myself to be consciously present during some of what I do while sleeping. We are all capable of the same and much more. This book is about my experiences in the Astral, it is not about technique or explanations concerning the structure of the astral planes, I’m not interested in technicalities. I go with the flow and rely on intuition, which never fails me. ‘In-tuition’ comes from a higher source, a source deep within our being. What is important for me is being in the right astral place at the right astral time, from this inner space, so much is possible. I can assist both people incarnated on Earth, and those having difficulty crossing over from physical to spiritual life – “Take me where I need to be” is the phrase I often use when I find myself out-of-body. It is not possible for me to write a book about my astral adventures without a brief history of how it all started. My first conscious out-of-body experience (OBE for short) was spontaneous. This means I wasn’t actually trying to do it, though I was trying to lucid dream. In an OBE, a part of you appears to exit the physical body. You are consciously aware of the situation and you may also wake up already in the astral. A lucid dream, on the other hand, is a dream in which your mind is fully awake and you know that you are dreaming. This is not a book about the technical side of OBEs so we’ll leave it there. My first exit was very simple; I didn’t even leave the room. I had read about OBEs so, when I found myself floating above my body, I knew exactly what was happening. The morning after this experience I was ecstatic; I wanted to shout from the rooftops, but who would have listened? Who would have taken me seriously? Some time after this first experience I went to a bookshop and found ‘Adventures Beyond the Body’ by William Buhlman, I discovered that the author had an OBE forum on the Internet, so I logged in. There I found kind, understanding people who listened and gave me advice and insights into my experiences. To have OBEs and not share them is like making a birthday cake,
