Astral Projection Podcast

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:

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.

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, lighting the candles and not inviting anyone else to celebrate with you. Out-of-body experiences can, occasionally, be scary if you are not aware of what’s happening, sharing helps us realise that what happens is normal and we are in fact not crazy.

When the William Buhlman discussion arena closed a group of us didn’t want to give up what we had found so precious and, thanks to a great guy called Rick, we stayed together. Our forum was called ‘Project Radiant Light’, PRL. PRL was not just concerned with OBEs, we considered ourselves a spiritual community, ready to hold out a hand to all who needed it. PRL was about spiritual support; it was about laughing and, at times, crying together, sharing and ‘having someone to talk to’. Our forum was based on respect for fellow members, in the knowledge that we are all part of the great human family. When social media exploded there were the inevitable changes as internet communication started to move away from the forum set up, however some of us remained in touch.

Sometimes our world seems full of darkness, of destruction, of so much we don’t want. The news bombards us with all the terrible events that happen around the world. This is only the surface, there is so much good that we don’t hear about. There are many spiritual groups around the globe – good things ARE happening. Maybe it is time, as individuals, to focus more on the positive. I’m not saying ignore the suffering, instead to try to hold in our minds what is good in our lives and in the world.

There are also many astral projection/out-of-body experience groups on the internet and a lot of people have started teaching it. In my opinion, care should be taken when choosing a teacher to help you, there is a lot of misinformation around concerning this subject and it is not something to be taken lightly. If a person suffers from depression or is not of a ‘stable’ state of mind, I advise against it. This is because the astral is thought and feeling sensitive, this means that what you think or what you feel are reflected back at you, like attracts like. My advice is to approach astral projection and out-of-body experiences with personal growth in mind, the desire to grow spiritually. OBEs can be fun of course and there are times when you need a holiday from the physical, however, in my opinion, making the decision to follow this path is a decision not to be made flippantly.

A Special Dedication

I would like to express my thanks to a kind and generous lady who always supported myself and many others in our journeys. Her name was Sandy and I met her on what was the William Buhlman discussion forum, she has now made her journey into the beyond and is greatly missed. She was always ready with words of wisdom, reassurance and encouragement; she made a difference in so many lives.

About the Book….

‘Astral Dancer’ is divided into two parts. The first describes my contact with a past life through dreams and out-of-body experiences, and the second, further dream scenarios and astral adventures. I use various terms that the reader may or may not be familiar with, these are defined below, some from a personal viewpoint.

Astral Projection – is often used as a general term to describe these experiences though it literally means projecting in the astral plane as opposed to the etheric plane, the mental plane etc.

OBE – Out-of-body experience, many people define this term in different ways. For simplicity, I have used it in the general sense to describe all experiences where there is a detachment of consciousness from the physical body. Where the consciousness is focused away from the physical body.

To OBE – the expression OBE is often used as a verb.

Mind Awake/Body Asleep – a condition where the physical body is asleep but the mind is awake and aware. The physical eyes are closed yet vision is possible as you are not actually seeing through them. At this point, you still feel as if you are inside the body.

Neg – used to describe negative energy, used as a noun.

Higher Self (HS) – An inner infinite source of wisdom. A part of us that appears separate from the physical, though it is not, we have constant access to this source of strength and wisdom, and we are often guided by our Higher Self through feelings and intuitions. Our Higher Selves appear in dreams and astral experiences as either male or female, regardless of our own gender.

My Sacred Garden – When I leave my body I often find myself in my parents’ garden. As a child, I spent many wonderful hours here. My parents’ house and the garden represent my whole self, all of me, from here I can reach past, present and future selves. I love this place. It has come to symbolise my inner being, the lush green grass, the roses and the apple tree at the bottom, I consider it the garden of my soul.

I try as much as I can to use the present tense. Our minds spend so much time wandering in the past and in the future, yet we really only know the present. The dreams and OBEs are expressed in the present (as much as they can be) because this is how they were lived and experienced, in that present, in that ‘now’. They generally have a title and/or date and are indicated by an asterisk at the beginning and end.
The first part of this book is narrated by two people, myself (Ali) and another me, his name is Danny. The style of writing is simple and straightforward, I am an uncomplicated person and this is reflected in how I write. I will delay your reading no longer, so sit back, open your mind and let your imagination carry you along. Enjoy!

Thank you for listening, hopefully I’ll see you over at https://www.patreon.com/aliwings

Bye for now!

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.

Thanks for reading/listening, bye for now!

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!

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!

Dreams and OBEs are inextricably linked, when we are working on ourselves, delving into our depths, some things come up continuously over the years and you don’t really fully understand the symbolism. For years in OBEs and dreams I’ve found myself in an old villa, I would say Italian. An old stone building, overgrown and forgotten, but it is more the garden that is of interest, it is overgrown and there is a small rectangular pool, this pool has also appeared in experiences in my parents garden, a place in the astral I use as a sort of base camp. I have always called it my sacred garden. The pool is not modern but one you might find in an old Italian villa, made of stone, the water is greenish with algae, sometimes it is empty. In the experiences I always want to swim in it, though it is a bit small for proper swimming.

I am reading a boot at the moment called ‘Braiding Sweetgrass’ by Robin Wall Kimmerer, yesterday it described how an elderly lady wished to return to her former home after many years, it was run down etc. There was also a part describing how the author had bought a house with a pond that needed cleaning, this could have triggered my dream, or maybe the universe conspired to create a series of feelings and events within me.

Even recurring dreams are often a little different each time, sometimes showing how progress is being made, the dream may show you this progress with small signs. It is certainly worth working with dreams as I’m convinced much of our healing can be done in dreams and OBEs of course. Who knows what we have avoided having to deal with in life thanks to our dreams. A rather neglected area of our humanness I think.

Anyway in the dream I had in the early hours of this particular morning there was progress in the old Italian villa saga.

I am in my village in England, in the road where I was born and brought up. Originally we lived in a different house in the road and then we moved next door but one. In the dream I realise they are renovating the first house we lived in. I go round to the garden and the pool is there, they are renovating this as well, I am so happy as finally I will get to swim in it. There are a team of workers there, they are very nice and ask me what I want to do with the pool. What size do I want it? I’ve never wanted a big pool really just big enough for me to swim in it. Too big is too much maintenance and would take up too much space.

When the pools were all closed a few years ago I set up a pool in my garden and swam using an elastic harness it worked a treat until winter arrived and the water was freezing so I ended up just doing cold dips. I miss my pool in the garden lol.

Anyway my husband was there saying it only had to be small, but his small wasn’t the same as what I meant by small, could have symbolised a voice of restriction? The workmen are asking me what I want. I tell them it has to be long and wide enough for me to be able to swim with my elastic harness and I lay down to see my height and arm reach if doing front crawl also width for breaststroke. I then leave, a worker offers to help me up a steep step I say ‘I can manage myself but I’ll accept your help’ He gave an air of confidence and security.

So now it is interesting that now the overgrown stone pool is being renovated so I can swim in it. It is also symbolic that the pool was in the garden of our first house, where I was born. The day before this dream was the 1st May, we were in spring, symbolic of new beginnings and rebirth, and I had spent most of day working in the garden.

Although this podcast is called the astral projection podcast I do think it is important to stress the importance of not focusing simply on the astral realms as the goal, there are many wonderful, thought-provoking, opportunities for growth that can be experienced beyond the astral realms and also through dreaming. If we restrict our journeying to only the astral realms we are once again acting in a limited belief system like on Earth at the present time. I think we should look to always expand not just in our travels in other dimensions but also within the physical body we are presently focused in.

Thanks for listening!
