Astral Projection

[DaisyDreamer]

Hey all.

I am a FTM and this is my first pregnancy. Since before I got pregnant OH and I have practised deep meditation and yoga routines that achieve a very clear and peaceful frame of mind while also relieving pain.

Sometimes we can achieve an OBE (out of body experience) or astral projection. But since I have gotten pregnant I am scared that mentally leaving my body might harm the baby. Any time I have entered deep states of meditation, baby has been incredibly active by stretching, rolling, kicking. Like really really active, a lot more than usual.
Also when that happens It seems that baby and I connect on a transcendental level that reassures me she is going to be ok.

Any way, just want to know if any of you women have any experience with deep meditation/astral projection during pregnancy

i would be super interested to know! i also do deep meditation and yoga, still not pregnant but i think that pregnancy, if anything, can enhance these kind of experiences. and i think your baby gets super active as she "feels" you going into that state that is probably closer to the one she is into.

Right? Just a deeper level of consciousness that is less ego-minded because I'm scared to completely break away. The thing that worries me is my heart rate and breathing--am I giving enough blood and oxygen to my little bean?

I think I'll do some more research and try it out tonight. Sucks that many medical journals don't have any research on this published

i know! i was once hooked up to a heart rate monitor in a hospital and started meditating; well the heart rate dropped so much that it set off the alarm and i had the whole medical team rush in and see if i were ok (i was a healthy control in a clinical study and started meditating out of pure boredom as we weren't allowed to move at all, whether we were being tested or not). So it really does work. Docs wouldn't believe me until i've repeated it 3-4 times, then i was asked not to meditate as it could alter their study.

I was feeling absolutely great with only 40 beats per minute (or less), also the breathing gets sometimes so shallow that i'm not sure if i'm breathing anymore. I never felt deprived out of oxygen nor anything and always felt restored after these experiences, i think our bodies adjust our oxygen demand accordingly in those states so I don't think it can damage your baby.

Babies blood binds the oxygen way way better than ours (they have fetal haemoglobin which is different from the adult one), and she'll make sure to take whatever she needs out of your blood, no matter how much or how little comes - meaning that before any damage to the baby is caused, YOU would feel faint or ill and you would know it is time to stop.

I think the key is to listen to your own body and to your babies one as well, especially if you can connect to her already on such a deep way. I'd of course research the internet more, who knows, maybe you find some interesting stuff.

So last night I was close to OBE (sometimes it be grey as to what I actually am experience--or nonexperiencing). I felt no negative emotion and went into it curious to see what would happen and not at all scared. That's something that's taken me awhile to get past. Any way this time baby seemed a lot more relaxed and even this morning they usually squirm a little but they are not. Not too worried because they are definitely awake by 9:00, 9:30 going crazy in there.
It was so strange! I had my hand on my tummy and I started feeling tingly all over my body. My spine which is usually curved and painful was flat and relaxed--could feel all of my muscles relaxing their deep tension patterns. Then behind my eyes I started seeing kind of a dark red and then I started tasting something sweet.

For some reason my brain was telling me that I was inside my baby's head and seeing/experiencing what they were. And Zodi would kick in confirmation whenever I started to doubt what ever it was that I saw. This is a really good opportunity to communicate with your unborn on a transcendental level... I was so terrified of giving birth and the pain until I started meditating deeply with her (pretty sure she's told me she's a little girl). Now I am very excited to deliver and it doesn't seem like this big painful event looming over me.
