<p>Hello! I'm a long-time reader, first-time poster here on Gnosticteachings.org... I've been doing Dream work for about 3 years and when I stumbled upon your dream-yoga subsite my practice accelerated, and I've been a follower ever since! I have successfully astral projected various times... however, each time that I've done it I cannot stay in that state long enough to do any of the things I intend to do (like visit interesting locales, go to the Gnostic Church, or maybe another planet...) Indeed, every time I separate the astral body from the physical body I start moving around and then the dream environment instantly changes! Here's my technique:</p>
<p>1.Go in lion position (or something similar)</p>
<p>2.Fall asleep, staying vigil the whole time</p>
<p>3.Separate the astral body from the physical body as soon as I begin to feel it</p>
<p>I have astral projected more than 10 times, and this is a very consistent problem. Any help is GREATLY appreciated!!!</p>
