Everyone has some idea of what Out Of Body is, even if we dont usually truly understand it. Youve almost certainly seen it in a film or read about it somewhere. Youve probably even heard it discussed among people you know.
Relatively few people, though, comprehend that Out Of Body is a real event, and that everyone is capable of doing it. It is extremely likely that you have astral projected without even knowing it.
You need to understand what Out of Body really is. Out of Body is the ability of an individual to leave his or her body. Everyone has the ability to do this; everyone does this when he or she lay down to sleep at night. While sleeping the physical mind is resting and the subconscious mind takes control. A person astral projects while this is happening. However, the majority may never remember astral projecting.
While you are projecting, you can go anywhere you want to go. You should try recalling your childhood; you may be able to remember being able to do this after you went to sleep. Over time, you may have forgotten. When it involves out of body there is no such thing as time or distance. You can go anywhere, since while asleep your physical body is at rest and your astral body travels.
This brings us to the next logical question what is the astral body? The astral body is essentially an invisible ‘double’ of your physical body. The astral body is also known as the ethereal body, and is the seat of our feelings and desires. You may wonder why the astral body doesnt just leave and never return. This is because the astral body remains connected to the physical body via a silver cord.
The silver cord is a term used to describe the attachment of the astral body to that of the physical body. This cord cannot be cut and it cannot be detached except in the moment of death when the spirit finally leaves the physical body as a permanent disconnection. It is the silver cord, which allows the astral body to maintain contact and return to the physical body.
Something else you may consider is where do you go when you astral project? Your astral body goes to the astral plane. It is the invisible double body of the Earth. Its vibration is much faster than that of the physical Earth while it does penetrate into the core of the Earth. Many define it as another dimension of reality. In addition, most agree that there are various levels of the astral plane.
After learning this information, it is only natural to start to wonder if there are any dangers to astral project. The answer is not as simple as a straightforward yes or no. While out of body is something that everyone is capable of doing and that the astral body is attached to the physical body by a tie that can only be broken by death there is still a need to remain conscience of what is going on while astral projecting and be in a state to maintain that frame of mind.
The danger is when you astral project when your mind is clouded or incapacitated. For example, if your mind is impaired by alcohol or drugs, you might end up in bad places. These places are the lower levels of the astral plane.
It is essential that you know what it is you do and where it is you want to go. Your goal is to consciously astral project. You need to have complete control of what your astral body is doing. Your thoughts control your Out of Body.
When you prepare yourself properly, beforehand you can train yourself to astral project very quickly. Some individuals prefer doing out of body alone in their homes. Meanwhile, others learn various methods that help them gain control and enjoy their experiences while being lead by numerous professionals in the out of body field.
There are sources online or books you can buy on this subject too. One example of this is that you can listen to a high quality hypnosis recording designed for Out of Body to help you get in the right mind set that is needed. It not only relaxes you but goes through the different stages required with you. This is often preferred over a session with a professional due to the fact that you can play the recording over and over again until your mind’s subconscious receives the signal that it is alright to go ahead and leave your physical body.
Binaural beats is the most recent of astonishing sound technology advances. It plays slightly different tones of sound frequencies in the ears simultaneously. This works well for inducing relaxation and the deep state of meditation rather quickly. This is fundamental for the success of out of body.
Dont be concerned if you find yourself unable to astral project the first time you try. You might not even be able to astral project the second or third time you try. Realize that this is a skill that you will need to practice. You do not have to acquire this ability; it is one we all have. We simply have forgotten how and must fine tune this inherent ability.
If you still don’t believe in Out of Body, just remember the last time that you had a dream that you were flying followed by a sensation of falling right before you awoke. The sensation of flying was how it feels to travel with your astral body and the falling was your astral body coming back to you.
Out Of Body is not imaginary; it is very real! Anyone can do it and experience its benefits if they only take some time to hone this natural ability.
