Thread: Nap Induced Astral Projection (NIAP) Technique

Im not quite sure if this is supposed to go into the Attaining Lucidity forum, (the forum that contains all the tutorials before they are put in the real tutorial site), because it is not a Lucid Attaining Technique, but it is an AP technique, so i thought this was the best place for it. Anyway..

The ONLY way i have been able to succesfully enter the Astral Planes, is by doing this method. It is very very easy to do, and with the right practice you can do it aswell.

Introduction and Reminders

Remember before practicing any Astral Projection technique, to fully understand the dangers of the Planes. You can be seriously injured or even worse if not careful, a fate worse then death for sure. Such things such as Night Stalkers and Succumbi can be a real pain in the neck if your not careful to avoid them.

One more thing, the purpose to Astral Projecting is not to hurt or cause any negative emotions to any person or animal. The whole reason to Astral Project is to be able to explore different worlds, scan over your world, do amazing things you cant in the physical realm, have a perfectly fun time while sleeping, and not missing any of it like you can while trying to attain lucidity, and much more. Remember, if you do plan to cause terror in the Realms, you will also get attention from other bad spirits, and you will regret it. Just fair warning.

Anyway, lets start.

Preperation

To begin preparring for the NIAP Technique, i suggest you find yourself an ENTIRE day that you have absolutly nothing to do.

I only say that for two reasons:

1. You will have to nap during the day, and if at first you dont succeed, you will want to try again, and as you can tell already, taking more then two naps a day can put a real damper on your day.

2. And two, for most casses, if you find that AP'ng is very fun to do, you may want to do it more and more, making your physical body laying somewhere through the whole day.

Next, set an alarm clock for a early part of the day. I find that if I perform this technique during the morning, i get better results. I think it may be due to my mind telling me that im supposed to be sleeping at say 4:00 in the morning, and so it makes my body fall asleep faster.

After waking up, take about a hour to walk around, take a shower, eat a little, use the bathroom, do absolutly anything and everything to make yourself more comfortable when you lay back down again.

Now, find a relativly quiet place to sleep. Make sure that you dont have anything that cause distraction after you wake up.

This is not required, but if you want to, get yourself an Alarm Clock that you can set for 1-3 hours ahead of when you lay down. I find that if you use an alarm clock on your cell phone or something simmilar, it is easier to accomplish this. Mostly because if you use a clock alarm, it takes more energy and time to get up and turn it off.

Once you are all set to start off, move on to the next topic.

Process

Ok, now time for the How-to part of the thread.

First step, of course, let yourself take a nap for about an hour to up to 3 hours, sleeping too long will make you not tired at all, and sleeping to less will make you even more tired then before napping.

After you wake up from your nap, immediatly change positions. Some people say to lay as still as possible and try the technique, but i say, if you change positions it is more regular then not moving at all. Think about it, when you wake up in the middle of the night, do you lay still, or do you shift positions to make yourself more comfy? I feel that if you shift positions to make yourself comfortable, your body will recognize this more, and thus it will fall asleep faster then normal.

Now, after you shift positions, and take any sips of water or any other things you wish to do (NOTE: Do not get up and move around, just stay laying down, or it wont work), then start to do the normal AP technique. Close your eyes, and start to relax. You will notice your body will relax very quickly now, and your breathing instead of you having to change it yourself, will actually get quieter and you wont have to bother with it as much. After about 2 or 3 minutes, (if that, i can achieve this in under 30 seconds), your body will start to feel really heavy and your chest may start to feel tingally. [i underligned "may" because, i experience this, but im not sure if anyone else does (some people tend to experience the tingaling in other parts of the body)].

After you get the tingaling feeling, keep your mind focused on absolutley nothing. Keep it as blank as can be, it sounds terribly hard, but belive me, its alot easier after a nap. Your body will soon start to get whats called "vibrations". (NOTE: If you dont get these, after several attempts, look down at the FAQ guide at the bottom of this tut to see what you can do to achieve them.).

After feeling the first vibration, keep your body relaxed and remember to keep your breathing steady and calm. This is a definate must. If you seem to let your breathing go out of control, you will not achieve the Astral Projection. After your first vibration, you will most likely get another (about .5-3 seconds after). The amount of vibrations you get all depends on your breathing and relaxation. I have gotten 3 and gone into the Planes, and ive gotten about 20 at a time and reached the planes. It can be any amount.

Once you get what i like to call "The Big one", or in english terms, the biggest vibration, your body will in most cases (again i underline most because i get this EVERY time, but i dont know if anyone else does), you will be sort of "lifted up". and like i said, in most cases you will actually be able to see everything around you, just as if you were in real life. (NOTE: Your physical body will most likely be in SP by now, if not before the vibrations).

After you rise up out of your body, you can start to move around. Take special note that if you look down at your feet, and move your leg to a different location, you will not see your leg move, but you can feel it. I enjoy this the most, because it is very weird. Some people say, you must "Roll Out" of your body to get into the AP. But, i dont see it that way. I can just sit up and move around, and i can stay in my energy body and move around freely. You may have to Roll Out, but i dont think it is required.

After this, you are now in the Astral Planes... HOORAY! You can now travel and have fun. Remember to take note of the Introductory part of this tutorial and as always, be careful when in the Planes


FAQ

I cant feel vibrations, WHAT DO I DO?!

Some people simply dont feel vibrations, they just feel the shift and can then see the world around them.

But if you are not one of these people, try doing this:

Most the times, you need the sinking feeling of falling to achieve the vibrations. If they dont come to you naturally (which with many many people it does not, being a natural astral projectionist is a very rare thing), you have to get the feeling of falling. If you imagine in your head, that you are falling down a long building or down a cliff or something, you will eventually get the vibrations.

Other times, the feeling of being scared can help you attain the vibrations. If you get scared and you get that feeling inside your chest, you can get into the vibrations. To do this, simply imagine a scarry thing and make yourself get the feeling. Really quite simple, but not easily known.

When i rise up, i dont see anything but my eye lids, what do i do?

I have seen this many tmes. Simply, if you dont see anything, wait a few minutes and see if you can. But most commonly, if you dont see anything, you have not truley "risen up"

I cant nap, can this be done after waking up in the middle of the night?

Yes, however it may be harder for you. If you wake up in the middle of the night you may be alot more tired, and thus you will fall asleep before you feel anything.

I always end up falling asleep, any suggestions?

Go to bed earlier, so when you get done with your nap after the normal sleep routine, you will not be so tired.

Other suggestions may be to drink an energy drink or something, but it is not required.

Can this be used to gain lucidity?

Yes actually, you can. I find that if i let myself fall asleep before the vibrations i drift into a NILD (nap induced lucid dream), and it is very vivid.

Where can i learn more about Astral Projection?

This is my personal technique, many others probably use it already, but this is what i use, and i dont claim it as my own invention.

After saying that, you may go to the site http://www.astraldynamics.com/ to gain more knowledge on AP. It is that website, along with this one, and many friends, that gave me the knowledge i have today.

Conclusion

Thanks for reading my Tutorial! After this, if you can still not get into the AP planes, this method just simply may not be for you. But if you have any further questions, feel free to post here. If this gets turned into the tutorial section, then simply PM me and i can help you out.

This method was wrote by me, but it was not invented by me. I did however achieve this method before reading about it, but other people have done this before me.

Thanks and happy AP'ing

This is just what i was looking for!! Thanks!

I may be missing somthing here, but it seems just like a WILD....so how do I know if I am WILDing or APing?

When you wild, you dont get the same vibrations (atleast i dont). For an AP, you have to do some energy work to get the right vibrations. But good question! i will add it to the list

Also, you get ripped out of your body (OBE), unlike in a LD, where you are just suddenly in a dreamscape.

Well i cant seem to edit the first post :S, owell. But yes, Michael is exactly right. You will know the difference if you can perform an AP.

Exactly what I was looking for!! Thanks!!

Inkheart

I was in astral planes when I drank two bottles of tussin. It was incredible, I will have to try this.

Lol this is a very old tutorial. It has flaws, and it is hard to actually get in the astral planes. It is easy to get to what they call "Astral Sight" when you do this, though. But to get to the planes you have to still do energy work here or there.

Gratz on making a tut on how to wild

Gratz on being closeminded, malac. I wont flame you, but your post was not needed.

Help! How can I get over this fear?

Oh, and also, lucid dreaming and astral projection are not the same thing. Though I've never done an Astral Projection, like I said, my understanding is that you walk around the actual world in it and see yourself sleeping.

Yeah, thats pretty much what it is. There is nothing to be scared of. The only thing that you need to worry of is being bad to someone else, and tempting other bad things to harm you. Astral Projection is entirely natural, we do it every night. Dont be scared of it. If you are still feeling a scare, go and read some peoples experiences. They will help you understand what the Astral is.

Closeminded? Ha I laughed. I assure you, I'm V\very open minded. Also, how could you possibly flame someone you not know about. I simply seen a good tutorial on how to WILD and said it as such, with a compliment. Sorry if i offended something about a tut that is part of hundreds of variations on how to WILD, with the label AP with it. I will not carry on any longer because of peoples views on the AP matter.

Tots, I take my leave.

I always get that big one to! I feel like I jump out of my body, but my legs jump up to... it's really weird.. I how do I prevent my legs from jumping up?

Originally Posted by C911

I believe you, every attempt at a WILD causes my second body to try and jump out, but it seems to be attached to my physical body.. but how do you come to this theory?

I dont really know how to make your legs not jump up, chayba. When i get the big vibration it usually takes my breath away and makes my body feel really un easy. Nothing jumps, though. You can try to just let your legs jump up. If you do this everytime you fall asleep then it could just be normal routine for your body.

The "theory" is actually very easy to be proven by anyone who AP's... just look at someone when they are sleeping when you are in the real time zone and you will see them above there person.

nice tut i might try it later
btw whats the difference between the pysical plane and astral plane and all that. what are they?

Astral Planes = A general term for all planes in the astral.

Physical Plane = The lowest plane of existance, the one that we live in. If you are projecting into this plane you will see people as if you were a ghost.

The rest of the planes just get more real, and physical appearance makes no real relavance.

The higher you go the more your energy is required and other beings see you as just energy. Different things are possible in each plane though.

do you have to have dream recall to ap?
