If you were to explain hedgeriding to someone who knows nothing, what would you say to them?

“hedge” describes the boundary between this world/reality and the Other

hedgeriding is straddling it, like in a medium or trance state sort of thing when you have one foot in this world and one foot in another, and are relaying messages between or smth

hedgecrossing is where you go over.

astral travel, astral projection, flying, hedgecrossing– they all describe the same general thing (tho they have their own connotations): sending at least part of the mind/soul/consciousness out of the body

this is accomplished by trance or an altered state of consciousness. it can be improved/achieved with practice.

also you’re probably doing it fine. don’t overthink it. literally just do it
