Mediumship & Astral Projection

[Safia]

I’ve been hesitant about sharing this, but I’d really love some insight on an experience I had last week while I was asleep.

So for one, astral projecting in my sleep isn’t out of the ordinary for me. I haven’t been able to do it intentionally yet, but I’ll do it sometimes while sleeping and I can tell by how I feel waking up in the morning.

The other night I woke up to my alarm, opened my window and fell back asleep (I never sleep with the window open). I woke up to a trippy experience where I felt a presence or energy come over me and it was more intense than I ever felt. I saw a flash of 2 pictures of a young woman and then there was spinning and I intuitively felt that timelines were spinning in front of me. I felt a weight on my chest and I couldn’t tell if someone/ something was trying to just get my attention or enter my body(out there, I know). I heard “is anybody home?” In what seemed like a panic like or intense tone. This energy came with a sense of urgency that made me uncomfortable. This entire time I was quickly trying to come back to my body and wake up fully. Once I did, I was able to punch through the air which seemed to break up the energy. Once I was able to get up and close the window, I felt as though this energy was fully gone.

I have been trying to figure out exactly what happened, but my mind always rushes with a ton of possibilities. Has anyone ever experienced anything like this? Any ideas about what this was? Thanks in advance for your help! ❤️

This used to happen to me a lot and still does on occasion. Does seem like the entity wanted to communicate, but in my experience, communication is all - that is, they weren’t there to hurt or scare you. I hear you when you say you felt uncomfortable, though!

It’s totally your choice whether you want to be available for these interactions or not. Personally, I find it rather disconcerting to have anyone waltz into my room and loom at me over my bed, embodied or not ;)

So what I do is vibrate that I am available for communication on my terms. I have time when I consciously sit for spirit communication and anyone is welcome to knock on my metaphysical door. I set boundaries of white light for communication in the highest love and truth - because there are entities who are quite giddy to playfully trick you for their own amusement.

At the same time, I don’t want to limit myself to interacting only with the highest vibrational beings, since I am happy and curious to receive messages/information from and/or help any being that comes in good faith.

Local nature spirits especially can be very helpful and supportive, and if you give them offerings and gratitude, they tend to be very loud and enthusiastic in their response! I like to burn insense for them in the morning and say thank you.

My sister shows up a lot, too - she died almost two years ago and loves to keep me company when I’m in ceremony or channeling. I’m just thinking now it would be lovely to make her a daily sign of gratitude, too <3

When I do these practices, nobody surprises me without my consent. But it’s funny you’re sharing this now because I did have a midnight visitor recently for the first time in a long time - I had a lot going on energetically and was not communicating my boundaries. I just say, “go away,” firmly, and roll over. If they want to communicate in good faith, I invite them to come during my “office hours” ;) It can definitely be startling or scary when someone shows up like that, but all you have to do is say “no” if you don’t want them there.

Is that helpful? Let me know if you want to share or hear more!

Thank you for this response! It was very helpful and reassuring. I’ve had different experiences with spirits before but none like this. I want to be open, but also wise and definitely safe. I love the point you made about having someone walts into your room without permission lol.

I’m sorry to hear about the loss of your sister in this realm. It’s so beautiful that you’re still able to connect with her.

Do you find that your boundaries when it comes to this translates from your boundaries in typical communication or did you build them separately? I would love to learn more!

Safia, I’m so glad it was reassuring for you! I feel like when it comes to spirit communication and experiencing aspects of the spirit realm in general, we can all use a little soothing. It’s not a place designed for the comforts of the human ego ;)

Our sense of what’s normal/acceptable/safe/weird/creepy/whatever is definitely not usually catered to there! I make a point of reminding myself that just because I don’t understand something doesn’t mean it’s bad or scary. It’s just different, and my fear of it can block my ability to receive what’s really being communicated.

Great question about boundaries! I’ve actually found that the relationship has worked the other way - my training in holding spirit boundaries has strengthened my ability and confidence holding them with humans! Overfunctioning empath in recovery here lol ;)

Omg yes! Thank you so much for sharing. You’ve really helped me see things in a new way. I feel like I’ve been blocked in the dream and spirit realms because of what my human mind expects and feels comfortable with, but there is SO much more out there. 🦋
