Earlier, I wrote about these headaches I have been having. I am not sure if it is the weather changing. Probably. It makes me feel kind of down and low energy. So I was a little surprised to astral project. I have been wanting to. I find it pleasurable and spiritually fulfilling to leave my body. But, I haven't been quite able to get there during this particular period. However, last night was one of those nights. I stayed up too late and my body was very tired. My mind was very much awake and rational and this seems to be a good recipe for astral projection. I fell asleep and had some dreams then a couple hours later I had to wake up to use the bathroom.
As I go back to bed and close my eyes my mind remains awake while my body falls asleep. I am aware that I am in my bed but I am not sure whether I am awake or "asleep". So I figure I will try to roll off the bed and if my body clunks down then I guess I am awake :)
So, my body was sleeping and my astral body had undergone the natural separation and I rolled out of my body and down to the floor. As I rolled out, my astral vision opened and I was able to see the room around me. Down on the floor I could see my bath towel I left on the floor and I rose up and looked back at my bed (trigger habit. I look back every time I get out of bed) and I could see what looked like a pile of blankets and then I could see that my body was under them. I didn't go very far or do anything spectacular. I felt as though I didn't have the energy to go very far, like I wasn't "charged up" or something. The time moving around my bedroom seemed to last only a couple of minutes before I snapped back into my body.
On a side note I just wanted to mention that I had some alcohol in my system this night. I have always thought that it was not good for OBEs or that it would not help with it. But my reason for having alcohol had nothing to do with my desire to astral project. But this is not the first time that I have projected while having alcohol in my system and I am starting to come to the opinion that small amounts of alcohol do not affect the ability to project. I never get completely smashed so I can't speak from experience on that! But I don't think that a drink or two will prevent one who astral projects from astral projecting.

Summer into Fall, Herbal Book Recommendation
As the weather changes dramatically, it is affecting me in my dream state. I get headaches when the weather changes quickly like this so I have not been having as much control over my lucid dreams and astral projections. While I don't think its the weather, I think its the headaches from the weather. If anyone knows good herbal remedies for headaches and Migraines (with aura), which I have been diagnosed with this year but have had for many years please post your remedies here.
Here are my herbal headache remedies, taken from one of my favorite books, "Back to Eden" by Jethro Kloss.
1. Hot footbath with a tablespoon of mustard mixed in or plain water as hot as you can tolerate. Cold washcloth on the forehead and also on the back of the neck.
2. Peppermint, Spearmint, Valerian, black cohosh, or skullcap tea
3. raw foods diet, enemas, exercise (for frequent headache caused by indigestion or disordered liver, over eating)
4. rest
5. peppermint, catnip, red sage, spearmint tea
6. Hot hops tea at night
Back To Eden by Jethro Kloss
The book goes into more detail about which remedy is right for you based on your headache type! I have also heard that massaging the webbing between the thumb and index finger activates a pressure point.
I got a used paperback copy from Amazon.com at a great price. If the world ever does come to an end and we are left without technology, this is a book you are going to need to have around...
So, you may be wondering what all of this has to do with astral projection in the first place? Sure, headaches can cause less control over your dream state but why not just take a few Tylenol? In My Humble Opinion, drugs are the last option. Based on my own research and its too much to get into right now, I believe it is bad for the Liver and the Pineal Gland among many organs and systems... Well the point is that in the modern drugs, chemicals have been so isolated that we are not getting the effect nature intended. We need our entire bodies to be healthy and in harmony to experience full control of our astral bodies.
Here is an example of how a plant goes to drug and it all goes wrong. Feel free to research this yourself! The Chinese Herb Ma Huang has been refined into ephedra, a diet pill which was all the rave but is not illegal in most places all over the world after causing heart attacks and other symptoms. In its natural form, a very useful plant used to treat colds, hay fever and other conditions. However, us humans decided to refine and isolate the ephedra and suddenly we are seeing negative effects. Take it one step further and you have street chemists (drug dealers) who are refining ephedra into meth-amphetamines. And, I don't even need to list all the harmful side effects of THAT!
The point is nature first! Modern Medicine certainly has its place but remember you can't expect to have a flourishing spiritual life if your body is not in harmony. A good diet, not too much, not too little. Natural remedies first. Homegrown or organic when possible. These are all basic changes that will help you "wake up"
