Hey everyone,

I have only had one OBE a little over a year ago. The experience itself wasn’t totally positive, but it was exactly what I needed. proof we are more than our physical bodies.

The past year I have spent tremendous amounts of time with the Gateway Tapes and other types of meditation. Unfortunately I have had almost no outcome. Then I stumbled upon r/aphantasia. I think I have it.

So…

I've been reading up on Aphantasia recently, and I was curious about how it might affect experiences like meditation, astral projection, and other higher states of consciousness. For those who aren't familiar, Aphantasia is a condition where a person is unable to visualize images in their mind's eye. This means that they cannot conjure up mental pictures of objects, people, or places.

I'm wondering if anyone here with Aphantasia has had experiences with meditation or attempts at astral projection. Do you find it challenging or different compared to those without Aphantasia? Does the lack of mental imagery affect your ability to reach deeper states of meditation or experience phenomena like astral projection?

I'd love to hear your thoughts and experiences on this. Let's discuss how Aphantasia might influence these practices and what workarounds or techniques might help those with Aphantasia achieve similar states of consciousness.

More insights over at r/aphantasia as well!

Looking forward to hearing from you all!
