A question for those who have some experience with astral travelling(specifically in the past). I heard some places are heavily guarded in the astral, even some major past events. Is there still I way I can bypass these “guardians” or is it too dangerous? Can I at least use some projection(copy) of that event that doesn’t include the guards?
And how to protect myself in these cases basically?
It is possible, depends purely on your skill, energetic capabilities like the ability to shroud yourself, tunnel through, etc., and also your guardians/guides who can help you - sometimes by negotiating with the realm guardians, and other times by jumping in to protect if the real guardians strike when we trespass.
There are various ways to protect oneself - psychically, energetically, through guards and deities (which is what I use), evocation and protection spells, etc.
Yes, experience, and in my case, experienced teachers who could show me the ropes. I did not learn Astral Travel in exclusion but as part of a bigger set of practices.
Technically possible, but I have not tried it.
The first thing would be to establish a strong connection to a Guardian and/or Higher Self during normal states. If you are able to communicate with them here in this realm, you should able to do the same in astral realms as well, with practice. This connection can happen again in myriad ways - meditation, mantras, energy work, lineage-attunements, ancestral connections. Sapien library offers very helpful audios as well.
I think these are not things that can be explained like a procedure to make instant noodles lol, especially if one is a beginner. I suggest you start a meditation practice, as simple as mindful observation of breath and gradually insights will come on their own. Also, add a practice like the Reiki Star exercise (search the forum for it) - that should aid your meditation big time too!
Up to you… how much time, energy and effort can you dedicate to it? This is purely individual. Some folks are naturally gifted and 30-min a day may bring out their capabilities. Others may need a lot of time and effort to get to that place :)
Took me about 12 years before I could do some of these things (though I was not training just for that), I have seen others do it much sooner.
I doubt anyone can answer that question not knowing your current level of energetic expertise, your capabilities, the nature of your practice, etc.
Lol start with a basic meditation practice first!! Basics cannot be skipped 
And use Sapien Energy Course, that will really speed up your work - speed up by how much, only you can decide that…
Astral club on youtube, still trying to even remember my dreams :/ , tried many things, bout to try harder especially after I set myself up financially… I guess you get out what you put in. Maoshan_Wanderer makes me think of myself as a C student xD
Do your best… things will happen The results accumulate so regular, sincere practice is the key.
Sounds cheesy, but the Universe conspires in favor of those that sincerely want to raise their own consciousness and that of our earth. 
Astral Realms are guarded by powerful spirits, like Marid Genie. So be careful. If you want to travel, just go to Spiritual Realm or Earth Ethereal Realm so you will be much safe.
yeah I do qigong 5/6 days of the week and the star meditation, I know I can be chanting&meditating more, but yeah Im still making progress n I know more results r to come for sure so I aint sweating. feels natural and that it aint my first time round the rodeo
I am sure you’re doing fine.
In the beginning, I was after the results. I would meditate, or chant to get to a specific result. And would get very tense and depressed if that was not accomplished. One of my teachers once went into a meditation retreat and when he returned, I asked him, “what was this retreat for? What effect/power did you get from it?” He looked at me strangely and did not reply. Then we were served mango custard by one of his students. He noticed that I was lapping at it happily. He asked me, “What did you get out of eating the custard? Power? Just some calories? Or you ate for some nutrients?” I said, “Well, no just this blissful taste and enjoyment”… And he smiled and then it struck me haha
When the spiritual journey becomes fun and bliss, as much as its perceived goal, or even more than it, that surely is a sign of some accomplishment. So, enjoy the journey as well. To be goal-driven is necessary in its own way, but only chasing after a goal sometimes makes us miss the beauty of the journey.
Dedicated, regular practice is necessary but over a period of time, everything becomes a spiritual practice - when you are always in that zone/space, everything becomes sacred without needing a time and space to get there. For example, chanting a mantra is no longer a chore for me that needs effort, to not chant it needs effort, it flows like the breath.
Something Saan wrote today deeply resonated with me because my practice is Goddess-centric and this represents my world-view completely. And I have experienced time and again the collapsing of duality where the practitioner (me), the practice (mantra, Neigong, meditation, etc.) and the goal (in my case, the Goddess-consciousness) are One and the same.
Yes I love the journey for remembering
