    Astral Beginnings n.1

    I am starting a series of podcast episodes where I am going to describe in detail what I was doing that led me to have my first out-of-body experience, and how I managed to keep them going, leading me into an incredible adventure. I haven’t been having them all my life so it wasn’t something that came naturally to me, I had to work at it. I have always been a dreamer though, I have always loved dreams, I had the occasional lucid dream but I wouldn’t have called myself a regular lucid dreamer. It all started with one question ‘Who am I?’ I have repeated this on numerous occasions and will no doubt continue to do so. It is a question that is fundamental in discovering who we truly are, in order to discover you have to ask the question, if you don’t ask the question you won’t get an answer and you have to really want to know the answer, so badly that it hurts, as they say. There is a longing in most of us for something more and we are not going to find that something more outside of us, only inside, with all of our distractions silenced. In one of my OBEs years ago I was guided towards the Lord’s Prayer, at the time I thought this was a bit strange. We had to repeat the prayer at school every morning to the point that we just knew it off by heart without even paying attention to the words.I have never been religious and the prayer to be honest didn’t really mean a lot to me. Anyway, somehow after following the advice of the OBE to look up the Lord’s prayer, I found myself listening to a YouTube video where the prayer was being sung in its original language of Aramaic. The version I was listening to was amazing and really moved me, I had to find out the true meaning of those words and I soon realised that the version I had been taught was in fact only one possible translation. So one day there I was with the book ‘Prayers of the Cosmos’ by Neil Douglas-Klotz in hand. I’m not going to go into the meaning of the Lord’s Prayer now except to say that there is one line that refers exactly to what I was saying earlier about the distractions in our Iives, the line we used to repeat as lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil, can also be translated in many ways e.g. Don’t let surface things delude us, but free us from what holds us back….or deceived neither by the outer nor the inner – free us to walk your path.  We will never find true satisfaction outside of ourselves, because we always carry that desire to connect to who we truly are, we will always feel that something is missing and that something that is missing is the answer to the question ‘Who am I?’  When I asked this question I knew I would never find out the answer from someone else, it was something I had to discover for myself. So when should I start? I decided to start with my dreams as, if I was going to go deeper inside, that seemed the next logical step. So I started writing down my dreams in the hope that I would understand more about myself. Around this time every so often I would have a lucid dream and in these lucid dreams I would meet a former well-loved geography teacher from secondary school. I have talked about these meetings before, they say ask for help and a guide will appear, well this was certainly true in my case, I suspect my geography teacher was a representation of my higher self. When I had a lucid dream with my geography teacher there would always be wise words and things to learn, I wanted more of these dreams so I focused on lucid dreaming techniques, one of which was looking at my hands during the day every so often and asking myself ‘Am I dreaming?’ The idea is that if you do it often enough during the day you will then do it in a dream and the answer will be ‘yes I am dreaming’ and you will become lucid. It worked many times, the first time I had success with this technique I was so shocked with how suddenly focused I was, how suddenly I became lucid that I woke up lol. I wasn’t intending to have an out-of-body experience and I didn’t even know at the time that you can go into the astral from a lucid dream. Another thing I was doing at the time was meditation, I had never really meditated before, I generally used guided meditations, basically to help me relax, they weren’t geared towards having lucid dreams or OBEs. One was called Power Nap and it was basically a run through the chairs, the other I used to listen to was a CD called Dreamers Journey. I would also burn incense. I dedicated a room to this meditation/relaxation process. It also happened that my husband snored a lot and so I found myself having to change rooms in the middle of the night in order to get some sleep, so I would often end up sleeping have the night in the room, without knowing it I was doing the wake up and go back to sleep OBE technique, when I went to sleep in my meditation room I would intend to have a lucid dream, I would also try the keeping the mind awake while the body goes to sleep as I had read somewhere that you could go into a lucid dream straight away doing this. I had never managed to keep my mind awake while my body fell asleep, until one night………. I had done the usual routine of getting woken up by snoring, going to the loo then going to sleep in a different room. I was trying to keep my mind awake while my body went to sleep. I imagined myself going down, down and down, I tried to feel what that would be like, like the feeling of going down in a lift, forever sinking down. After a while, not sure how long, I started to feel as if my body was electric, it was quite pleasant, as if I was all fizzy, and then I simply floated out of my body, it was amazing, I felt so full of joy as I now had proof, at least personal proof that we exist outside our physical body. I was aware that I was having an out-of-body experience. I had read a little bit about them so I wasn’t freaked out or panicking that I had died. I didn’t leave the room but I think I may have returned to my body and exited again maybe 3 times, I can’t really remember I’m sure I have it written down somewhere. The thing that stood out for me was the joy I was feeling. When I woke up in the morning I was over the moon, not that I could tell anyone, they would’ve thought I was crazy but wow, what an experience.  It took a good few months of trying to lucid dream until I had this experience, I was constant in my practice and didn’t get despondent if I wasn’t successful, if not lucid there was always a dream or 2 to write down and reflect on. The OBE was a complete surprise but worth all the effort I had put in. Having had one OBE obviously I didn’t want them to stop, I thought it might be a one-off and I so didn’t want it to be. I wanted to discover more to go deeper, it was all so exciting. So I decided I had to up my game, I needed more information on OBEs, I needed to know more so I could keep them going, but that will be for th next episode.  Remember if you have any questions you can find me at https://patreon.com/aliwings, membership is free, this week I added the audio of chapter 6 of my book ‘Astral Dancer’. I’d love to see you there.  Thanks for listening, bye for now!

    Astral Ramblings

    I came across this yesterday which I had written in one of my notebooks, I had forgotten about it, it is a nice way to start the day, with quiet reflection. Look to this day: For it is life, the very life of life. In its brief course Lie all the verities and realities of your existence. The bliss of growth, The glory of action, The splendour of achievement Are but experiences of time. For yesterday is but a dream And tomorrow is only a vision; And today well-lived, makes Yesterday a dream of happiness And every tomorrow a vision of hope. Look well therefore to this day; Such is the salutation to the ever-new dawn! Kalidasa It got me thinking about time and how time in the astral world doesn’t really exist, our concept of time exists in our minds as we are generally still conditioned by it while out of body depending of course on our state of consciousness. I have also experienced a state of consciousness where all was present but generally I am still influenced by a sense of passing of time. It is difficult to experience events in the astral and not attach our concept of time however when you re-enter the body you can find that it seemed you were out for a lot more time than has passed in the physical. In the end all is bubbling around in the big NOW, it is all NOW, sometimes I try to get my mind to simply tune in to the present moment and try to perceive Iife as events all happening in the present moment, this moment is after all all that we know. I usually get myself tied in knots though sometimes I manage to stay in the moment, not for long though, and there we go again with the concept of time passing. I suppose this is how our reality is constructed, otherwise it just wouldn’t work. Years ago, and I mean years before digital photos, I used to do photo montages with various photos and quotes based around a theme. I still have one up on my wall around the theme of time, time has always fascinated me, even more so after a few trips to the astral and I realised how bendy time really is, you can experience a whole life in the astral and still be back in time for breakfast the following morning. In the astral everything bends and flexes almost immediately depending on what you are thinking and feeling, what your intentions are, as above, so below, and so it is in the physical too though we are subjected to our perception of time and denser energy so all is a lot slower and heavier. What we think and feel still produces consequences though not immediately, which is a good thing considering what many of us have going on in our heads, constant uncontrolled chit chat. The astral is a great place to practice mind control skills and vice versa, getting better at controlling what is in your mind in the physical will help in remaining calm and objective while out-of-body. I talk a lot about the importance of remaining focused and developing this skill. It can be a great ally in getting you out-of-body in the first place. The ‘powers that be’ don’t want us focused, they want us distracted so we are more like sheep, no offense meant to sheep, and easier to control. I often find that when I leave my body there is a being somewhere along the line trying to distract me from my intention, which is usually trying to help someone lost in the lower astral realms. For whatever reason these beings may have they don’t want me to do it, however if I focus with clear intention they can’t stop me and they know it.  If you practice focusing during the day, if you do it often enough, it will be reflected in your dreams, I find that if I focus on something in a dream to the exclusion of all else in the end the dream dissolves and I find myself in the mind awake/body asleep state or directly in the astral. It is a great technique to use especially if you are busy or have children and don’t have time to practice a technique during the day, focusing you can do anywhere, focusing is simply being totally present in the present moment, actually you might even lose your keys less often lol.  Out-of-body experiences can complement our lives, they are a part of who we are, and can inspire and teach. Not just OBEs our dreams too, even our daydreams. Today just after my yoga class I was driving to the supermarket, I was thinking about all the emotions, all the feelings, all the thoughts, all the words which remain as energy around us, it appears that they just disappear into nothingness but they don’t this is why words are important, what we say and what we write. Words can do so much especially when impregnated with feeling. When I think of it all rolling around in this world and the astral it can all become a bit overwhelming, especially when you think of the lower astral planes and the desperation and sadness that unfortunately reside there. Anyway I did the shopping and dived in a bar for a coffee, as I’m sitting there reading a book, I start day dreaming….. In my mind’s eye I see a white wave making its way around the Earth. It reaches into every corner, into every dark recess no place or being, is left untouched. It also pervades the astral realms and I see all the desperation and sadness dissolving, everyone suddenly feels so much lighter, freed from the chains of whatever emotions and thoughts were holding them back, freed from suffering and limitations. An incredible feeling of relief. People sort of look at each other and start laughing, as if waking up from a dream that they have been so involved in they have forgotten who they are. ‘Wow that was quite a roller coaster ride,’ someone says,  ‘we really lost it that time, we were in so deep. How did that happen?’ Interesting day dream, maybe it was a premonition, who knows? Thanks for listening!

    Loops – Astral and Physical

    Yesterday I was out and about in my town, it is mid/late September, I went into a shop and lo and behold they were putting out the Christmas stuff, surely it’s too early we haven’t even done Halloween yet. I said this to the guy, that we seem to be stuck in some kind of loop, moving from tradition to tradition in a never-ending cycle, he didn’t seem very happy that he had already been told to start stacking the shelves with elves and laughing Santas.   As I left the shop I started thinking about the loops we get ourselves in, with our ways of thinking, the way we view the world, maybe our loops make us feel safe. Reminds me of the song ‘Windmills of Your Mind’ by Noel Harrison, I love this song, it expresses so well how our minds can end up going round and round in circles. Do check it out. However, we do need to spiral out of some of our loops if we are going to change something on Earth. In many of my so called ‘Astral Rescues’ I see a lot of people stuck in loops even after they have died. I was reminded of one such case recently while having a cappuccino with a friend. A young man called Bugsy had come to find me, he turned up in my sacred garden, this is my astral base camp, I often find myself here when I leave my body. He told me that only I could help him. This is a bit of a long story and I still have to record all the happenings, all the weird physical synchronicities that occurred during the time I was working with Bugsy. However, to sum up, his girlfriend, the love of his life, had commited suicide, Bugsy had died before her and she found it difficult to life without him. Bugsy’s girlfriend was so lost in her grief, in the pain of her life that she ended up in the lower astral planes. Now I’m not saying that suicides all go to the lower astral planes, they don’t, each case is different, but she was so lost in her trauma loop she could not get out without help. There is always help, no one is ever abandoned. Bugsy could not reach her, that’s why he called on me as I am incarnated, so when out-of-body my energy vibration is more easily accepted by people in the lower realms who need help. Bugsy’s girlfriend needed help spiralling out of her loop. I’m not going to go into details here as this is a very sensitive subject and I prefer to describe what happened in a more private environment just so I can be available to answer questions. I’ll just say that it was a happy ending.  The astral is a reflection of our physical reality and vice versa, it is where all our thoughts and emotions play out, it is full of the most beautiful scenes you can imagine and more but it is also full of all the ugliness that we, as humans, create, it is full of joy and desperation. We should be pushing beyond all this mess, beyond the astral to higher realms, where form doesn’t exist, this realms can be more difficult to reach as form is so embedded in our subconscious, when we leave our bodies we are so influenced by our humanness. Easy for me to say when it often isn’t easy to even achieve a conscious out-of-body experience. However, we can start with who we are in this present moment here on Earth, I believe we chose to be here, I don’t have all the answers, does anyone? But maybe if we try to spiral out of a few of our loops (thinking about the same negative things over and over, constantly lost in the past or future, our worry loops etc) we may slowly change our world from the inside out and lift ourselves out of the chaos we seem to be in at the moment. It’s certainly worth a try.  Can we raise like the phoenix out of the fire? I like to think so. For anyone who has lost a loved one to suicide don’t dispair, they are fine, we all have guides and helpers ready to help us, this is a little excerpt from ‘Astral Dancer’ I’ve now had something confirmed that I’ve believed for a while. Keeping someone in our minds in our waking hours helps in our communication with them. We can listen to music and the notes somehow form a bridge from one person to another. I believe that Joseph Conrad (an author, the person I was helping) had lost his ‘child aspect’, his inner joy, a friend indeed. Idon’t think that he had a happy childhood and probably carried his sadness into adult life. “We live, as we dream alone,” Joseph wrote in ‘Heart of Darkness. Maybe now he would change this to the following:“We live, as we dream, never alone.” Praying for our loved one helps them a lot but we must also remember to let them go and not hang on tightly. Pray for them but without becoming obsessed, our own lives must go on. Years ago I wrote a little book, I didn’t publish it, it really was just a fun thing about how to go about having OBEs, I’d like to read the conclusion to you. I think I’ll leave tt here for today, the Bugsy story in time I will post in my community, I’ll let you know when it’s up, it won’t be for a while yet as there is quite a lot to record. You’ll find me at patreon,com/aliwings if you have any questions. Thanks for listening!

    So Many Different Worlds…

    Today I’d like to share two experiences that I had years ago. While tidying up recently I found a notebook, it was half empty but there was an OBE that was dated 2nd December 2015. I thought I would share it with you today.  I put on a theta CD at 5am then let myself drift off. I wake up as I am floating in the air with the familiar fizzing sensation that I enjoy. I make a request to go to the higher dimensions but instead find myself in a building. I walk around noting just how real it all appears. I look at my hands, even my hands seem really physical. (Often in OBEsmy hands change shape or even disappear) The reality of it all is actually quite shocking. I am following a man who seems to know more than I do about where I am. There is another man who seems to be sorting out vegetables, I tell him he is out-of-body and not to waste his time and put his OBE time to good use (but then maybe he is who am I to judge) He mentions the name of a book but I can’t remember what he said. I turn to the man I have been following and he tells me there are certain tests you have to pass, barriers preventing entry. At which point I begin to fly, as I fly I come up against barriers made of a type of straw, it is relatively easy to get through. Then I come to a door, I know it leads to a different dimension, I open it and go through. The other side of the door is pretty dark, it is as if I am in an enormous rock concert although everyone is doing their own thing, the atmosphere is quite heavy. There is a guide with me plus a couple of other people. The guide warns us about what we will find here, it is the place of personal demons that we can come face to face with on our own. We walk around to have a look, the people there are not interacting with each other, I suppose you could say ‘they are all playing their own music’. Then suddenly the atmosphere darkens and I look up at a balcony, there I see my own personal demon. It is quite a picture. My demon is in the form of Little Red Riding Hood, a little girl in a red cape, the left side of her chest is gauged out and bare flesh with red blood is visible, then I see she is carrying the wolf exactly where her left side is gauged out. The guide’s eyes change to amber to protect us from the demon, it comes towards us but keeps its distance, it tries to get us to approach it, it threw my car keys down near it thinking I will go and pick them up, but I say ‘I don’t need my keys here I’m out-of-body, my keys are in the physical’. In the end I start to speak to it, by now it has changed appearance, it is tall, a male body with a helmet. I don’t remember what I say but then suddenly the demon changes into a nice-looking young woman with long dark hair. I am a bit surprised as it is so sudden and I say ‘Oh you’re a woman.’ We talk a bit more but then she gets spooked by something and changes back to the demon who wants to hurt us. I talk to the demon, I can’t remember what I say then the young woman appears again. She tells me she has had problems in her life that she had become addicted to gambling. We hug. I then find myself flying through the air to the edge of a cliff, below is a deep, deep valley with buildings. It is impossible to resist flying into such a deep and wonderful valley, I fly into it. I wake up. When I read this OBE again I did remember it as the image with Little Red Riding Hood with the wolf in her side stuck with me. I don’t remember if I had any follow up OBEs or dreams after this but as the woman and I hugged I presume that particular demon has been faced and the situation resolved. It could have been another me from another life, either way the symbolism of Little Red Riding Hood is quite significant, in one explanation the symbolism of the wolf can represent the hidden temptations found in society which in this case would be the gambling. However, symbolism like this can go very deep and can be worth looking into. I don’t believe that we need to know the whole story to heal, although it can be interesting to delve into what our subconscious mind shows us.  I believe OBEs can help us face our demons, I was with a guide in the experience so I was always protected, our guides know when we are ready and I don’t believe they would put us in situations which we weren’t ready for. When re-reading this experience it does have a rather shamanic is feel to it. In a shamanic journey you travel into the subconscious mind where all our traumas are stored, the subconscious works with symbolism and creates stories so that the body can feel that the situation is resolved. Our so-called demons, our traumas, whatever they may be and from wherever they may come, remain in our energy body and may show up in our physical body at some point. This is why we need to feel the release, talking our way out of our issues is only half the story.  In OBEs you get to be part of the story. Here’s another experience that came to mind recently while was discussing some of my experiences with a friend over a cappuccino, when I met a big insect. I personally believe we are being observed by other beings, well wouldn’t you if you were an alien, for want of a better word, there’s so much going on here on Earth in more ways than we could ever imagine. Who needs a Netflix subscription when you can watch Planet Earth and the Adventures of the Human Race. The reason I believe we are being observed is due to an OBE I had years ago before the internet exploded and all sorts of information became so widely available. At the time, I thought it was an interesting OBE but at the time I really didn’t give it much thought. I may even have spoken about it in a podcast episode some time. Anyway at risk of repeating myself I’m going to describe it briefly again. I can’t remember the circumstances exactly but never mind, I use the present tense as this serves to remind me that  there really is no past or future, it is all present. So here we go. I leave my body and I get the impression that I am on some kind of spaceship, in front of me are several screens all showing different views of the earth. There is a being behind me, it is a giant preying mantis, I don’t feel frightened in any way, Rather I feel assured, I feel safe. The being is very intelligent and wise. He tells me they are observing the Earth. This is all I remember though if I ever find where I wrote it down there may be other details.  What is interesting about this experience is that it happened long before the internet exploded with videos, podcasts, blogs etc about aliens, particularly the mantis kind so I don’t believe I was influenced by what I had seen or read. I remember the experience was very ‘real’ which is probably why it has always stuck with me. When I heard other people on internet talking about these mantis beings well this brought my experience to mind and I realised that I could have been aboard a space ship with a mantis observing the Earth. To me he didn’t seem threatening,I didn’t get the impression that he was a danger to us, however, I only met one and if their race is like the Human race they may be a mix of what we may perceive as good and bad.  Meeting a giant preying mantis on a space ship does sound a bit crazy, doesn’t it, but why not, why not indeed…as Shakespeare wrote in Hamlet. “There are more things in Heaven and Earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.” The important thing is to keep an open mind, closed minds cannot grow. So whatever boundaries we may have we should be ready to push beyond them and then beyond them a little more, always transcending, always transcending. Out-of-body experiences certainly force you to open your horizons to include other possibilities, that you may not have considered had you not experienced them first hand. Other possibilities also within our 3D world, maybe we all live in our own reality lol, once you start thinking about this the brain starts to go round in circles, Dire Straits once wrote this possibility into one of their best songs, in my opinion of course, ‘Brothers in Arms’ There’s so many different worlds, So many different suns, And we have just one world, But we live in different ones. I think this is a good place to end this episode.

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.

A Quick Hello Hi! Ali here, if you are interested in out-of-body experiences or astral projection you may like to visit my podcast site, here you’ll find episodes about my experiences, techniques, plus general help and advice.I also have a newsletter you can sign up to if you’d like to stay in touch, I have included an outline of what I consider to be the astral projection process which you can access once you have signed up. 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,

    A Moment in Eternity

    I have been absent for a while, every now and again I take a timeout from ‘internet life’ I focus on other things like the importance of sound in our lives, how different frequencies may affect us, lately I have also be looking into the power of our own voices and the healing capacity our voices may hold. In the end all comes back to the fact that we are energy, everything is energy, I was shown this in an OBE back in my early days as an interdimensional traveller, I was out of body and I wondered what the inside of the wooden window frame felt like so I flew into it. It was like globules of moving energy going up and down a bit like one of those 1970s lamps. It was so fascinating being there in the window frame. Anyway I wanted to begin my internet re-emergence by describing an experience I had recently, it was kind of a dream but not really a dream, more like a flash of understanding received in the form of a scene of which I was an observer and experiencer. I’ll use the present tense. I am observing a kind of wave in constant movement, it isn’t one or another colour but a mix, it is forever present,  it is Eternity. Riding the wave is our physical reality, happening within Eternity, in the experience I feel that our construct of time is simply that, a construct happening in a moment of Eternity, our time is a perspective, an unfolding of events within the present. I feel the wave it is profound. I wake up. A simple scene but a deep significance, these are types of messages that stay with you, I could never truly describe the Eternity  wave, some things beyond the physical are impossible to be put into words. In many OBEs and various experiences you bring things back, information, feelings about how things are, you have no solid physical proof, but in your heart you know them to be true. I should add as well that I had woken up during the night and played Holy Harmony by Jonathan Goldman while I went back to sleep. This is no way an ad for the album everyone has different tastes in music but I do find listening to this is relaxing, it does help me calm my mind. I often listen to music while going to sleep, particularly theta frequencies. This particular night I chose Holy Harmony. One of my favourite phrases has always been, ‘we are Life living in Eternity’ , I feel it is good to remind ourselves often that we are spiritual beings in a physical body, the physical body being an energetic expression and something we can work with for the betterment of our world, it is not something to escape from. Out-of-Body experiences can truly help with understanding the hows and whys of this world and why we are here, they can help us understand the complexities of life on Earth for ourselves without taking someone else’s world for it including mine lol. I used to have a little community on internet but I had to close it as it was no longer free. I like to have a corner of internet that feels more chill than the social media platforms. Anyway I have set up a new corner on Patreon, I’m not selling anything, I wanted to get away from using social media as the main base, there seems to be so much advertising now it’s so easy to get distracted. So you’ll find me over there, the community is not just about astral projection, but it plays a large part as it is a part of my life. There are videos on various aspects of astral projection/OBEs plus other things I’m focusing on in my life right now. You’ll find me by going to https://www.patreon.com/aliwings Thanks for reading/listening, bye for now!

    A Request for Help

    In my years of having out-of-body experiences I have participated in many what are often called ‘astral rescues’. Some people when they die remain stuck in a sort of trauma loop and replay time after time what happened to them until another being can get through to them to help them out of their self-made world. Some people don’t even realise they have died, often because their death has been sudden and unexpected, the following experience is one of these. I am dreaming I am in my cellar, I have recently cleared out this space and made it into a sacred space where I meditate and play my sound therapy instruments, my energy is there. However, although I call it a dream, it doesn’t really feel like a dream, I think I am already out-of-body but not very aware at first. Then I suddenly feel an energy behind me, it feels like heavy energy, and I have a hard time turning around. I try to say ‘What’s this all about?’ but it is difficult to get the words out I make a real effort then wake myself up while saying the words. I go back to sleep and find myself back in the cellar, this time I am aware and know I am out-of-body. I see a young woman with pigtails, she wants me to follow her. I go with her and fly through the little window that goes to the garden. I fly to the left and I feel a being near me who is trying to distract me from what I am doing, I push it away with a flick of my hand and arm. I find myself in a place with a young man in front of me, the name ‘Murphy’ comes to my mind, he has been killed in a bike accident but doesn’t know he has died. I try to explain so he can move on. Around him I see several dead relatives and I try to tell him to look around, that he is among people who have already died. He then points out a pizza bar where his friends are working, he tells me that his friends own the pizza place and he says ‘They are not dead so how can I be.’ I go over to the pizza bar, and the couple tell me they aren’t doing any business, they are making pizza that is not being eaten. I tell the young man to think about that, ‘Why is no one eating the pizza?’ I tell him it’s because no one in this place has a physical body so no one needs to eat, I tell him the pizza place and the couple running it are thought forms and not really there, just projections. This seems to convince him to look at the anomalies and become more aware. I don’t remember any more but I believe that once the young man started to question what was around him this helped him move on and maybe his relatives waiting for him could finally reach him. It is interesting that a being tried to stop me, there are beings that don’t want people to do this type of ‘astral work’ I believe that as more people are lifted out of their trauma so there is more light and a little less confusion. It’s possible that this being may have been the heavy energy I felt at first, this heavy negative energy can be quite scary, they use ‘scare tactics’, if this doesn’t work they may try to distract you in other ways. However, I stress, I am speaking from my own experience which may or may not be the same as other people. There is a lot of negative energy in our world at the moment, there is also a lot of positive, though we often don’t hear about it, the astral is no different, and just as we need more light here on Earth, so we need more light in the astral. Every little helps. Imagine all the negative energy that is constantly produced if someone is reliving their trauma, time and time again, stuck in a ‘trauma loop’ in the lower astral planes. I believe many people do this type of astral work even if they are not aware, every success story brings in a little more light. Thanks for reading/listening!

    So Real…or not

    In an OBE a few years ago now, I remember that I was in a house, it wasn’t a modern house, more like from the fifties, I was flying near to the ceiling observing. It was sooooo real as real as it is sitting here typing. From my present point of focus in 2025 I was a future me flying near the ceiling observing a past event. Of course in the big scheme of things all is present, there is no past or future, only in our minds, but for the sake of human on Earth in my particular timeline we’ll continue. What happened in that OBE isn’t what I wish to discuss here but rather a thought I had recently while sitting in my own kitchen here in 2025. I thought that maybe there could be another me, a future me, floating near to the ceiling observing me in 2025, why not if it happened once why not again. In the OBE from the fifties I had to understand something, that OBE was necessary for me to understand something about that life in order to heal it. The thing that struck me most about the experience was just how real it felt, as real as me sitting in my own kitchen thinking well here I am this feels real too lol. The feeling of something being real is of course relative, I have experienced many OBEs where things seemed more than real and coming back to the physical seems like coming back to a flat cartoon world where loads of crazy stuff happens.Indeed it does feel like we are stuck in a loop repeating the same things, on the surface it appears that there is progress, but when we look at things honestly the progress we see externally is for the major part, technical. Advances in communication, in modern appliances etc etc, real advances  in how we live are not so evident. There is still war, excesses in some places and lack in another, the world seems as out of harmony as ever, the craziness and chaos continues. I think we need to spiral out of this loop and the first step is realising it is a loop, we are in our own version of groundhog day, if you remember the fiilm. However, I do believe like groundhog day little advances are being made, I do feel there is a lot more light coming into our world than has been, thanks to many spiritual groups and individuals who are working on helping to raise the vibration of our world, of Earth. OBEs are a wonderful way of realising there is so much more to who we are, but if there’s one thing I have learnt from my experiences is the need to also be firmly grounded on Earth, grounded in the energy of the Earth, and not simply working from our higher chakras. We need to connect our higher self to our humanness.  Thanks for reading/listening!
