Hello. This is Jimmy Ranso from Cohasset Minnesota requesting a reading that pertains to what may be a chakra alignment problem or a mindset problem that is hindering my success at defining who I am as a being, not just a physical body. my birth date is 08/30/1990 And I am diagnosed with asperger's syndrome, if that helps. Any advice on astral travel techniques/meditation types would be most welcome :D Thank you and good luck. The only stupid answer is that which goes unsaid.

Hi Jimmy,

Firstly I would like to welcome you to the forum. Secondly the following is not to be seen in any way as a reading, as in my professional opinion as a reader I believe that you would find a formal reading to only confuse and frustrate you even more than you already probably are.

Especially because our own 23 year old son also has Asperger's Syndrome, I feel that I may have more idea than the average person of what difficulties you are facing in trying to do this. I am also experienced in teaching psychic development.

Now any advice on astral travel and meditation techniques does not belong in this forum, which is reserved entirely for readings. When the proper time arrives to do so, post these types of questions in the main psychic forum instead (of which this board is a sub-forum).



I would suggest that once I have read my message, that you should not attempt to do any of these mind control techniques for at least the next month, as I feel that your doctor or specialist should be consulted if you are having any psychological symptoms which could be contributing to your problems in being able to calm and focus your thoughts in order for any of this to work. Are you taking any regular prescribed antidepressant medication, as the type of drug and/or dosage may need to be adjusted if you are going to have a reasonable chance of success? Honestly I am amazed that you are able to meditate at all, and this is a great credit to you in what you have been able to do in spite of your very real disability.

But the bad news is that you may always have problems with astral travel because Aspies (this is the term that our son prefers to use) by way of the nature of their mental circuitry have a naturally poor sense of where their physical body is at any time positioned in  three dimensional space. To be able to project your consciousness outside your body, you must already I feel have a good sense of the relationship between your physical and spiritual body, and Asperger patients will always I am sorry to have to tell you experience significant barriers which although they are not impossible to cross could make the entire exercise so stressful that it could indeed make your overall condition much worse.

I do feel that simple meditation techniques which are centred around something which helps you to focus on natural body processes and better connect to your physical body such as your breathing could be very beneficial in the future, but that focussing on psychic energy centres is probably too abstract for a person with your personality make up. If you do try meditating after your period of rest from all psychic activity is at an end, your medication will need to be adjusted once again under your doctor's care and supervision.

So the answer to your question is that their is nothing wrong with you in a spiritual or psychic energy sense that is getting in your way. It has nothing at all to do with low intelligence as we already know that Asperger patients frequently have an above average IQ. But I do feel that it definitely has something to do with the different way in which your Aspie brain (no offence intended) is wired when compared to everyone else who does not have Asperger's syndrome, and could also be related to your regular medication if you are being treated with one at this stage of your life. And when all the unique Asperger's factors are put aside, you are almost at the adult end of your teenage years. This phase of your life is confusing and frustrating enough for a non Asperger person to have to go through, but add your symptoms to the mixture and the problems do often become much more pronounced than they would have otherwise been without AS.

Stay away from any psychic activities for at least a month, go and see your doctor to first eliminate any potential medical problems which are generally treatable if caught early. If you are prescribed a regular antidepressant or anti psychotic drug, then special precautions will need to first be put in place if meditating is going to be safe for you to do. But although it must always be your decision to proceed with your astral travel attempts, I feel that your meditation sessions could achieve your desire to better define your spirituality using a much safer method, which is also less likely to make your Asperger's Syndrome much worse.

As a friend and knowing what I do about AS, I simply would not advise you to pursue exercises in astral travel any further, but instead to eventually work up to an absolute maximum of 20 minutes private meditation within every 24 hour period. I think that you will achieve the same goal of getting a better sense of your own spiritual nature in this manner, much faster and definitely much more safely than playing around with astral projection.

Note that astral projection is to other worlds and dimensions, whereas out of body experiences (OOBEs) are still very much in this world's surroundings. Aspies badly need to be more connected to and properly grounded in this world, instead of attempting to connect to another world or different level of reality from the one which they are currently functioning.

I wish to request that although this is not to be seen in any way, shape or form as a reading, that in your case that this thread should not be moved by the board moderator into the main forum, as I cannot guarantee that all the advice that I have offered you is my own. In other words, although I may not have consciously set out to read for you, underneath my own friendly advice there may some type of intuitive reading process going on after all.

Love, Light and Peace,
