You’ve almost certainly at least heard of astral projection before. You might have learned of it from a book or movie or perhaps a friend has been talking about it. While you know the term and maybe even have an idea of what it is, what you probably don’t know is that this is not something which only happens in fiction.
Relatively few people, though, comprehend that astral projection 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.
Lets look at astral projection and find out what it is. A very simple explanation of astral projection is the ability of an individual to actually leave their physical body. Everybody has this ability and you actually do this when you sleep in the night.
When anyone is asleep the physical body and mind are resting and the subconscious part of the brain assumes control. Most humans simply have no recollection of this.
You can journey to any desired location when you astral project. You may even have done this as a child as you went to bed, as you grew into adulthood you just forgot how. No time or distance restrictions apply when astral projecting, which makes it possible to travel virtually anywhere. The astral body is what does the traveling when the person’s physical body is sound asleep.
But what is your astral body? This is a duplicate of your physical body made of your subconscious will and desires. It is invisible to the eye and is tied to your body by a silver cord; so your astral body will always return after its travels.
As the astral body first enters the physical body, the silver cord is connected. There is no depletion of this until after the time of death, when the astral body leaves the physical body for the very last time. This silver cord prevents the astral body from leaving and not coming back.
Where is it that your astral body goes in its travels? Your astral body goes to the astral plane, a non-physical duplicate of the physical universe. The astral plane is thought to operate at a different frequency than our own, some saying that it is an alternate universe. Most agree that the astral plane is not a single monolithic place, however.
It is natural at this point to wonder whether or not astral projection is dangerous in any way. The answer is both yes and no. We have already established that the astral body cannot permanently leave the physical body, and that everyone is capable of astral projection. But, just like anything you do, you need to be able to think effectively. Solid thinking skills are required so that you can go where you want and know what you plan to accomplish.
The danger then comes when you astral project when you mind is not sound. So if a person is under the influence of alcohol or drugs they could end up in bad places. The bad places would be the lower levels of the astral plane.
This is why it is important that you know what you are doing and where it is you want to go. The goal is to astral project consciously. You should have complete control over what your astral body is doing. The control comes from your thoughts.
There are a number of different methods of preparation depending on whom or what you consult.
Several professionals can be found to assist you in learning various techniques so that you get to the point where you have better control so that you have a gratifying experience, but on this note people usually rather be in their own house while doing astral projection.
There are also a number of books and online resources available. For example, by listening to a quality astral projection hypnosis recording, you can enter the right state of mind.
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.
A new audio technology called binaural beats can also help you to begin astral projecting quickly. These are slightly different frequencies which are played into each ear. These frequencies relax you and allow you to easily attain the mental state needed for astral projection.
Don’t fret if you are unsuccessful the first few times you astral project. It takes practice to accomplish this.
Astral projection can take some practice before you get good at it and with time, you will develop this natural ability.
Still skeptical? Think back to a time when you dreamed you were flying, or felt a sensation of falling. The flying sensation was your astral body moving through the astral planes. The feeling of falling was when you felt your astral body returning to your physical body.
Astral projection is a talent all of us have; all you need to do is practice to develop it.
An astral plane refers to another plane of existence, a different realm of consciousness divided from that of the physical body. Propagated by old religions and additional esoteric philosophers, the term astral projection is referring to your spirit travelling forth from your physical body to an alternative astral plane.
Today we find both esoteric followers as well as countless other people, who are extremely interested in learning about being able to project themselves into the higher subtle conscious realms. Though a bit weird, this is really an experience of a life time since it includes leaving your wordly body and observing it from a distance.
In addition you are able to travel as far away as you desire and view the whole world from your astral body.
The 1st and primary point when learning astral projection calls for mental affirmations. Keep in mind that in order to acquire anything, you need to have faith that it really is possible. Remove anxieties and worries from your mind and constantly affirm or inform your subconscious that it is possible, and you will be able to experience travelling astrally.
Write down your beliefs on life if it helps you and bear in mind that faith can easily achieve almost anything.
Mastering astral projection features the very vital element of time. This is the time which is the most conducive for mastering astral projection.
Fourthly, mastering astral projection involves developing the right ambience. Organize for somewhere which is calm and peaceful. Just a dimly lit or candle lit atmosphere where there are no digital tools to meddle with the process will be good enough. Begin with some meditational procedures to soothe yourself and get control of your mind. Let your body rest while increasing the focus of your mind. Have a vision of yourself floating out of your body or alternatively going up out of your body with the assistance of something like a ladder, so that in case you feel any sort of resistance, you can focus all your attention and energy on this vision. Another thing is that you should wear comfortable clothing, eat only vegetarian food before such exercises and abstinence from items such as liquor or caffeine.
A very important point to indicate in exceling in astral projection is the fact that when you are traveling away from your body, even if you for the slightest of minutes contemplate or feel an unexpected anxiousness concerning whether you can easily return back to your body at all, then be sure than you astral projection will definitely come to an abrupt end then and there.
You will definitely feel an abrupt pull from your body or experience an unexpected ‘pulling back’ or ‘waking up’ from your astral plane to reality.
Finally, technological inventions like binaural beats can easily be made use of in creating the psychological state that is necessary for astral projection. Binaural beats include hearing 2 different sound vibrations through both ears which then syncronizes with your brainwaves so as to develop the required psychological state. Whatever method is utilized, becoming good at astral projection is not really simple and requires you to use your higher mind powers. Nonetheless, when it is accomplished, it is truly an experience of a life time which forces open lots of doors to your character which you may not have actually understood previously.
Astral projection is an ability which each and every person in the world is born with. Astral projecting is real; the difference between people who are able to astral project any time that they want and those who have difficulty with the technique is practice.
Astral projecting is an ancient practice that should be treated with the respect that it deserves, much like meditation or yoga. There are a variety of types and names that it is known by. There are also different ways to astral project.
Lucid dreaming is a form of astral projection. Lucid dreaming refers to the state of being aware that you are dreaming. Once you are aware that you are dreaming you can do anything you want in the dream. It is very easy to astral project when you are lucid dreaming. As soon as you realize you are dreaming you need to consciously say to yourself’I am dreaming.’
Lucid dreaming is a method of astral projecting which can take a while to become an expert in. This means that while this is one of the ways that you can astral project, it’s probably not the best way to begin astral projecting if you are not already skilled in the practice.
Those who practice astral projection believe that it is very real and that most people have done it without even realizing it.
Have you awakened from a dream still fresh in your mind, which seems as though you really lived the experience? These dreams are an actual experience of astral projection.
Believing that you can project is the key to achieving it. This faith eliminates doubts and fears about astral projection and helps you to easily achieve projection.
Relaxation techniques such as meditation helps encourage proper astral projection. Meditation is a great way to prepare your body and mind for projecting and all you have to do is practice, practice, and practice more by meditating.
Do your meditation in a quiet, comfortable room where you will not be distracted as you meditate. Clear all thoughts from your mind.
Do not focus on any stresses or troubles that are burdening you. The best way to do this is to focus on your breathing, your breathing should be deep and slow. With each breath you should see all the troubles in your head leaving you through your mouth. This will help you reach that deeply relaxed state that is needed to astral project.
Now is the point where you need to reach an altered state of consciousness. You need to focus not only on your breathing but the way you are breathing.
You’ll feel your breathing become slower and deeper still. Concentrate completely on relaxing your body more and more.
Start with your toes, as they are the most remote part of your body. There are two ways to do this. You can simply tell each part of your body to relax or tense the muscles up first and then relax each part. Tell each part of your body to relax as you move up. Use the method that you are most comfortable with.
You will begin to feel heavy as if energy is escaping each area of your body, slowly slipping away. Once you are completely relaxed, it is time to move on to the next level of astral projection.
You may feel like sleeping at this time, you need to avoid this. Many recommend repeating a command such as’I can fly, I can fly.’ You can say anything you want, just try to come up with something that will keep you from slipping into sleep.
The mind tends to get bored when it is not doing anything, which can mean that it will drift and find something else to focus on. You don’t want that to happen. If the mind wanders then you need to quit the session. To help bring the mind back repeat your phrase.
To actually reach an altered state of consciousness, there are several methods. You can repeat your statement to reach this next level. Or you can use the body of light technique. This technique is where you see a body of light in your mind that you envision yourself turning into.
You will experience three separate feelings when your astral body is projecting. You will have the sensation that you are moving. You will see lights and colors before your eyes even though they are closed. At this point, your astral body is going into the astral world.
Finally, you will hear voices which will either tell you to stop or encourage you to continue. Once you hear these voices, you’ll know that you have begun to astral project.
In general most people at some time or another in their lives have heard about astral projection. They may have learned about it from a book, movie, or a friend that is into it.
There are however, only a few people in the world who realize that astral projection is not only real but is something that is a natural ability that everyone possesses. Many people have already experienced astral projection by the time they reach adulthood at least once and in some cases, they experience it regularly without even knowing or being aware of the experience.
We need to first look at the definition for astral projection. To state this in very simple terms, astral projection’s definition is a human being able to move out of their physical body. All humans have this ability, in fact they actually do it when they are sleeping in the night.
When anyone is asleep the physical body and mind are resting and the subconscious part of the brain assumes control. Most humans simply have no recollection of this.
You go wherever you want to go when you project. If you can recall your childhood you may be able to remember having the ability to do this after going to sleep, eventually you forgot, as you got older. There is no such thing as time and distance when it concerns astral projection, you can go anywhere. While you are sleeping, your physical body is asleep. Your astral body travels.
The next question is what the astral body is. It is the ethereal body. The astral body is the invisible duplicate of the body. It houses all our desires and feelings. Does the astral body leave and not return? A silver cord connects the physical and astral bodies together.
This cord was actually connected the first moment that your astral body went into your physical body and this cord cannot be cut until your astral body departs the physical body one last time at your death. This cord is what keeps your astral body from staying away when it leaves your physical body.
Another question that many have is where do you go when you astral project? The astral body goes to the astral plane, which is the ‘body double’ of the Earth. This vibrates faster then the physical Earth and those vibrations penetrate to the Earth’s core. Others define the astral plane as another dimension of reality. Most will agree though that there is more then one level to the astral plane.
It is only natural at this point to question whether or not there are any dangers to astral projection. The answer is yes and no. We have established that astral projection is something everyone is capable of doing. We have also stated that there isn’t a way that the astral body can leave the physical body and not come back. But as with anything you do, you need to keep your head about you. This means that you need to make sure you have solid thinking skills so that you are going where you want and you know what you want.
Astral projecting while in a chemically induced altered state can be dangerous; your astral body will be affected and travel the lower levels of the astral plane, which are more hazardous.
This is why it is important that you know what you are doing and where it is you want to go. The goal is to astral project consciously. You should have complete control over what your astral body is doing. The control comes from your thoughts.
If you are well prepared ahead of time, you may find that you are able to astral project very quickly.
There are also many professionals in this field that teach different ways of helping a person gain the necessary control to have a better experience, though many people prefer to astral project alone, from the comfort of home.
The Internet is one of the largest repositories of information available on astral projection. There are hypnotic recordings available and there are also a number of books all of which describe the techniques, what to expect and different ways of dealing with what you discover.
This helps you get totally relaxed along with taking you through that various levels. This is often the preferred method over a professional approach, because you can replay the recording as much as you need to get your subconscious mind to get the message about when it is alright to begin to astral project and leave your physical body.
A breakthrough in audio technology, binaural beats can help you to astral project in short order. These are special recordings which feature slightly different frequencies for each ear and cause you to relax and reach the meditative state required for astral projection.
The first few times you try to astral project, you may not succeed. Don’t get discouraged.
It is not something you must acquire, since we are all capable of doing it. However, you need to fine-tune your natural ability since you have forgotten it.
Are you still not so sure? Think about the last time you dreamt you were flying or felt as if you had fallen. It feels similar to flying when the astral body moves throughout the astral plane. When the astral body returns to the physical body the sensation is much like falling and landing.
Astral projection is real and just needs to be ‘relearn’ as deep down you know what to do. Most people simply need to remember this skill and then fine-tune it.
Each and every human being is born with the ability to astral project. The only difference between those who can astral project at will and those who cannot is practice.
Just like yoga and meditation, astral projection has a very long history. People have called astral projection by many different names over the centuries and there are also many different techniques which can help you to astral project.
One of these techniques is lucid dreaming, something which is very familiar to most of us. Lucid dreaming is the ability to become conscious within a dream and take control of the happenings within it. All you need to do to begin lucid dreaming is to tell yourself “I am dreaming” while you are in a dream.
When you do this you will wake up within your dream and you will be free to do what you want in the dream. For beginners this can be too random a practice to successfully astral project.
Even if you are unaware of having done so, you have astral projected before.
One example is the dreams which you may wake up from remembering each and every detail. These were actually experiences of astral projection.
It is very important to have confidence that you can astral project. This will ensure you have a better chance of being successful at having an astral projection experience.
By practicing relaxation techniques including meditation, you can prepare yourself to astral project. Meditation is perhaps the most effective technique to prepare yourself to astral project. The important thing is finding a meditation technique which allows you to become completely relaxed.
To begin meditation, sit in a quiet, peaceful room in a comfy chair, make sure that there are no distractions. As you become relaxed, clear your mind of all stress and day to day problems.
Pay attention to your breathing, take slow deep breathes. Imagine all your troubles leaving your body when you breathe out. This will put you in a deeply relaxed state that will enable you to astral project.
You then have to be reach an altered state of consciousness. You can simply continue to work on your breathing, your focus now is not going to be to get rid of the stresses, it is to truly focus on the way you are breathing, your head is clear.
The breaths that you are taking should be deep, coming in through the nose and going out of the mouth. As your breathing is slowing and deepening you need to focus on your relaxing on your body.
Work your way up towards your head, beginning from the toes and relaxing every part of your body one by one as you go. There are two techniques which work very well here. The first is to visualize each part of your body relaxing as you move upwards, telling yourself as you go that each part is relaxing.
As the tension and negative energies leave your body, you’ll start to feel heavy and deeply relaxed. Once you have finished relaxing your body, you’re ready to move on to the next step.
You will want to go to sleep by now, but do not do that. Find a way to stay alert. Try repeating a command as some experts recommend such as ‘I’m flying, I’m flying.’ It does not matter what it is, just something to keep you alert enough to avoid falling asleep.
Our minds tend to wander when they are unoccupied. A wandering mind is not conducive to begin able to astral project, so keep repeating your phrase and stay focused.
Now, there are a couple of methods that can be employed to reach altered consciousness. You can use your repetitive statement to reach the altered state of consciousness. You can also use the body of light method, which is where you envision a body of light that you are going to see yourself transform into.
As you start to astral project, there are three signs which you can watch for to know that you are doing so successfully. The first is a sensation of motion, even though your physical body is perfectly still. The second is ‘seeing’ color and light, even though your eyes will be closed.
Voices will tell you to go on and encourage you or tell you to stop now as a warning. When you hear these voices, it means you have succeeded in astral projecting.
Out of Body is something which most of us have some familiarity with, at least as far as we’ve heard the term mentioned somewhere. You may know of it from a film, book or from someone you know.
However, few individuals understand that Out of Body is a very real event. It is something that anyone can do. More than likely you have astral projected and never even realized it.
Let’s start by understanding what Out Of Body actually is. Basically, Out Of Body is a person’s ability to leave their body. Everyone has this ability, and we all do this at night when we are asleep. During sleep, the physical mind rests but the subconscious mind remains active and takes over. This is when a person astral projects, though most people have no memory of doing this.
When you do project you get to go wherever you want. As you remember when you were a child, you probably can recall doing this as you went to bed, as you grew up you have forgotten it though. You have limitless possibilities of places to go, there are no restrictions as far as distance or time where Out of Body is concerned. When you are sleeping your physical body is at sleep, while the astral body goes on a journey.
Many people may not be aware of the fact that many enlightened individuals believe in the existence of multiple bodies. The physical being only one of these bodies and the astral being another. It may also be referred to as the ethereal body. The astral body is considered to be both invisible and a duplicate of the physical body. It lacks substance, which has given rise to its name as an ethereal body. The question then becomes if the body lacks substance how can it be connected to the physical body. The answer is through a silver cord.
The silver cord is there for your entire lifetime. From the moment of your birth, the silver cord is there, connecting your two bodies and is not cut loose until your astral body leaves the physical body behind at death.
Are you trying to figure out where you go to when you do this out of body? Well the astral body travels to what is called the astral plane, which turns out is the invisible duplicate of the Earth. This astral plane rapidly vibrates more than the physical Earth does and these particular vibrations go all the way to the Earth’s core. There is another belief though that another dimension or alternate reality is the meaning of astral plane. One thing most agree about on this subject though is the fact that the astral plane is composed of several layers.
Can astral travel be dangerous? The answer is both yes and no. If you exercise caution when astral projecting and decide beforehand where you want to travel to, then astral travel is safe as long as you are in the proper state of mind.
Astral projecting while in a chemically induced altered state can be dangerous; your astral body will be affected and travel the lower levels of the astral plane, which are more hazardous.
It is vital that you understand where you desire going and exactly what you are participating in. You need to strive on doing out of body using your conscious mind. Stay in total control as far as what task that the astral body is performing. Your thoughts and thinking processes are what keeps you in this kind of control.
You can learn to astral project very quickly if you prepare properly beforehand. Many individuals prefer to astral project alone in their own home. However, numerous professionals in the field of Out of Body teach various methods to help others gain control and enjoy an enriched experience. You might even like to try both methods of learning how to astral project.
There are several books on this subject and you can locate other aids to help you online. One type of aid is that of hypnosis recordings that are created for out of bodys to get you into the desired state of mind. This helps you get totally relaxed along with taking you through that various levels. This is often the preferred method over a professional approach, because you can replay the recording as much as you need to get your subconscious mind to get the message about when it is alright to begin to astral project and leave your physical body.
Sound technology can also be helpful.
There is a technology known as binaural beats, which plays a variety of frequencies in each ear. These frequencies are slightly different and as a result relax the body quickly. This places the mind into a deep meditation making it easier to astral project.
If you are unable to astral project at first, do not be concerned. It is something that requires practice to be able to do. It is important to remember that this is not actually an acquired skill but something that is already known to each person. They simply need to remember how to astral project and then to practice in order to obtain a level of proficiency.
Are you still not sure about Out Of Body? Here’s an example of Out Of Body we’ve all had. Everyone has those dreams where they’re flying, then begin to fall; and wake up. These aren’t dreams at all, but an experience of astral projecting. When you feel like you’re in flight, this is your astral body moving through the non-physical plane. The falling sensation is the feeling of your astral body returning to earth and re-entering your physical body.
out of body is a real ability that everyone has, everyone can use and all it needs is a bit of fine-tuning in order to be able to do it at will.
At one time or another most people have heard about doing astral projection. Maybe they have a friend that practices it, or watched some movie about it, or even read a book on the subject.
Few people though understand that astral projection is a real event, and that it is something that everyone can do. Chances are very high that you have astral projected and didn’t even realize it.
Lets look at astral projection and find out what it is. A very simple explanation of astral projection is the ability of an individual to actually leave their physical body. Everybody has this ability and you actually do this when you sleep in the 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.
You can journey to any desired location when you astral project. You may even have done this as a child as you went to bed, as you grew into adulthood you just forgot how. No time or distance restrictions apply when astral projecting, which makes it possible to travel virtually anywhere. The astral body is what does the traveling when the person’s physical body is sound asleep.
This brings up the next thing to talk about, what exactly the astral body is. The astral body actually is an invisible copy of your body, this is most commonly called the ethereal body. It is the center of our desires and feelings. Why is it that the astral body does not just leave and not return? Your astral body is actually connected to your physical body by a silver cord.
This connection is there from your birth until your death. The silver cord keeps your astral and physical bodies inextricably linked for your entire life.
Are you trying to figure out where you go to when you do this astral projection? Well the astral body travels to what is called the astral plane, which turns out is the invisible duplicate of the Earth. This astral plane rapidly vibrates more than the physical Earth does and these particular vibrations go all the way to the Earth’s core. There is another belief though that another dimension or alternate reality is the meaning of astral plane. One thing most agree about on this subject though is the fact that the astral plane is composed of several layers.
Naturally, you may question as to the dangers of astral projection. Yes and no is the answer. Astral projection is something we are all capable of doing. We also know that the astral body can exit the physical body and will return. However, as with all things you should be sensible. What this means is that you do need good solid thinking skills and know what you want in order to go where you want to go.
However, astral travel can be dangerous when you are under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Chemical substances can restrict your astral body to traveling on the lowest and most dangerous layers of the astral plane.
This is why it is so important that you know exactly what you are doing and where you are planning to go. The goal you are trying to achieve is not just astral projecting, but conscious astral projection where you are aware of what is going on.
If you are well prepared ahead of time, you may find that you are able to astral project very quickly.
There are a number of professionals in the field of astral projection that teach different techniques to help a person gain that control and have a better experience, though most prefer to astral project on their own at home.
There are also a number of books and online resources available. For example, by listening to a quality astral projection hypnosis recording, you can enter the right state of mind.
It will get you fully relaxed as well as going through the stages with you. The advantage of this rather than a professional session is that you can keep playing the recording several times until your subconscious mind gets the message that it is perfectly okay for you to leave your 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 astral projection.
Do not be discouraged if you are unable to astral project in the beginning.
It is not an ability that you need to acquire, since we are all able to do it. Its just that many of us have forgotten how and need to hone our natural skill through practice.
Still not convinced? When was the last time you dreamt of flying or felt as though you were falling? The flying was the astral body moving through the astral planes. The falling sensation came when you noticed that astral body coming back to the physical body.
Astral projection can be learned and if you practice regularly, you’ll master this ability sooner than you may think.
Can you recall dreaming of floating out from your body and then seen yourself from outside? Chances are that you woke up just about then, explaining it away to yourself as just a strange dream. But it was probably the opening sequence of an astral travel experience when you were asleep in which you left your physical body and traveled to higher astral planes or a different realm of consciousness.
Do you imagine what it would feel to leave your body and let your consciousness travel to different celestial levels, observing your own physical body and the world from a long way away? It is because of this that mastering astral projection is something which is very popular amongst people with a little esoteric bent of mind or even otherwise.
A vital and paramount part of comprehending astral projection requires that you use psychic affirmations.
Remember that to accomplish anything, you simply have to be certain that that it is possible. Get rid of any fears and apprehensions from your mind and constantly remind or tell your inner self that it is possible, and you will be able to channel your spirit self to the astral plane. Make a note of your beliefs to assist you and always remember that a total belief in yourself can attain almost anything in life that you choose.
Meditation is a really important component which is crucial for grasping astral travel. When you use meditation one achieves increased self-consciousness with understanding about his real self and potential. It assists calming your mind, increasing awareness and control over one’s subconscious and assists in imagining and focusing all his energy and attention towards that vision which is very important in the success of grasping astral projection.
Importantly you should note in trying to perfect astral travel, the time in which you intend inducing it. Astral projection is related to sleep, specifically REM and lucid dreaming stages. When sleeping you go through four stages of sleep which is growing deeper in each one. When the fourth stage has concluded the cycle inverses till it reaches the REM mode which consists of Rapid eye Movement and intense brain activity. This is the time when people dream a lot and is the perfect time astral travel.
As soon as you are completely prepared mentally for astral travel and know the right moment for it, arrange for minimimely lit room where there’s calm and peace without any interference from anyone else or electronic devices. If possible abstain from eating meat and items like caffeine and other similar stimulants and consequently lie down slowly. You should also be wearing light cozy clothes. Your main goal should be to simulate REM sleep.
You should begin with meditation and becoming aware of yourself and the energy flowing in you. You need to focus this energy into a vision of you leaving your body or you can even visualize a rope and seeing yourself climb up it.
What gets in the way of astral projection is the fear or apprehensiveness in the mind of the person concerning coming back to his physical body. Always bear in mind that having faith in something is really the most essential thing and even the slightest apprehension regarding such things will not let the travel from being successful.
Don’t be afraid or you will be unable to project.
Even if you can manage to project to a higher dimension and at that point get frightened in traveling away from the body then your spiritual self would suddenly be pulled in into your physical body.
Technological assistance like that known as binaural beats can be adopted in creating the psychic state that is conducive to astral travel.
Binaural Beats involve hearing two different sound vibrations through each ear simultaniously which binds into one another and synchronized in the brain to establishes the required psychic state.
Whatever method you decided to use to prepare yourself and then commencing the journey of astral projection, it will be a journey of a lifetime and a trip to remember.
In general, the majority of the population has heard of astral projection. They may have heard of it from a reading a book, watching a movie or from an enlightened friend.
There are however, only a few people in the world who realize that astral projection is not only real but is something that is a natural ability that everyone possesses. Many people have already experienced astral projection by the time they reach adulthood at least once and in some cases, they experience it regularly without even knowing or being aware of the experience.
First, it is a good idea to understand what astral projection is. In simple terms, astral projection is the ability to leave ones body. Everyone has this ability, and everyone does this at night during sleep.
When anyone is asleep the physical body and mind are resting and the subconscious part of the brain assumes control. Most humans simply have no recollection of this.
You go wherever you want to go when you project. If you can recall your childhood you may be able to remember having the ability to do this after going to sleep, eventually you forgot, as you got older. There is no such thing as time and distance when it concerns astral projection, you can go anywhere. While you are sleeping, your physical body is asleep. Your astral body travels.
Many people may not be aware of the fact that many enlightened individuals believe in the existence of multiple bodies. The physical being only one of these bodies and the astral being another. It may also be referred to as the ethereal body. The astral body is considered to be both invisible and a duplicate of the physical body. It lacks substance, which has given rise to its name as an ethereal body. The question then becomes if the body lacks substance how can it be connected to the physical body. The answer is through a silver cord.
The silver cord is there for your entire lifetime. From the moment of your birth, the silver cord is there, connecting your two bodies and is not cut loose until your astral body leaves the physical body behind at death.
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.
It is perfectly alright at this stage if you are concerned about possible hazards in doing astral projection. The answer to this is both no and yes. We have already mentioned these facts that the astral body always returns to the physical thanks to the silver cord, also that everyone can do astral projection. You just need to make sure you have your mind right to do this though. This means that your basic thinking skills should be strong and sound, this way you will be able to know exactly what you want and even more important where you want to go.
Attempting astral projection under the influence of mind altering and perception altering substances such as drugs or alcohol can have a serious effect on the ability of the traveler to travel in safety.
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 astral projection.
With the correct preparation astral projection can be done by you quickly.
Professionals all have different ways of preparing, that can provide you with the necessary information to be able to prepare and enjoy the benefit of learning how to control the experience and benefit from astral projection. Many people however prefer to practise astral projection in their own home.
The internet has a wealth of information on astral projection and there are a number of books, which describe a number of techniques that can be used in order to prepare the mind and body for astral projection. There are even recordings that use hypnosis to assist in astral projection.
You can listen to these recordings to relax and allow your subconscious to hear the messages on the recordings that it’s time to astral project.
There have been a number of recent advances in sound technologies, one of which is called ‘binaural beats’. Binaural beats work by transmitting slightly varied sound frequencies in each of the listeners ears. The effect of this is to foster quick entry into a deeply relaxed state of meditation, which is necessary for successful astral projection.
The first few times you try to astral project, you may not succeed. Don’t get discouraged.
Remember that you have the ability already, all of us have the ability to do astral projection, we have just over time forgotten the method and just need to tune our own natural ability to do it.
Still skeptical? Think back to a time when you dreamed you were flying, or felt a sensation of falling. The flying sensation was your astral body moving through the astral planes. The feeling of falling was when you felt your astral body returning to your physical body.
The practice of astral projection is truly a real thing! Everybody is able to do it and get benefit from it, they just need to hone their natural skills.
Every person in the world man, woman and child is born with the ability to astral project. This is a very real ability and practice is the only difference between those who rarely astral project or do so with difficulty and those who can astral project at will.
Just like yoga and meditation, astral projection has a very long history. People have called astral projection by many different names over the centuries and there are also many different techniques which can help you to astral project.
Lucid dreaming is one of the ways that you may astral project. You already know about lucid dreaming; this is the ability to become conscious of your dreams while you are dreaming and start controlling the course of your dream. You can start lucid dreaming by just telling yourself ‘I am dreaming’ while you are in the midst of a dream.
Once you have done this, you will begin to be able to take control of your dream. However, until this technique is mastered (which can take a while), this can be too unreliable of a way to astral project.
Astral projection is something you have done before, although you may not realize that you have done so.
Have you awakened from a dream still fresh in your mind, which seems as though you really lived the experience? These dreams are an actual experience of astral projection.
Believing that you can project is the key to achieving it. This faith eliminates doubts and fears about astral projection and helps you to easily achieve projection.
Meditation and other relaxation techniques can help you start getting ready to astral project. Meditation is probably the best way to begin; look for a meditation technique which allows you to achieve the total relaxation needed to astral project.
If you are wondering where to begin when it comes to meditation, try sitting in a comfortable chair in a peaceful place. When you are relaxed, clear your mind, if stress or work pops into your head, push it out and focus on nothing.
Begin to eliminate all thoughts from your mind and focus on your breathing. You want to take deep, slow breaths in thorough your nose, out through your mouth. If you can remain focused on your breathing, you’ll begin to feel yourself relaxing.
Achieving an altered state of consciousness is the next level of astral projection. Consistantly breathing deeply and slowly to keep your mind clear and stay relaxed is the goal at this state.
Breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth, breathing deeper and slower as you become more relaxed. Concentrate on relaxing your body even more.
The next step is to totally relax your body, starting from the ground up. Tense each part of the body then relax it, as you exhale to relax, repeat ‘my toes are relaxing, and I am relaxing too.’
With each exhalation, you should feel the tension leaving your body. Once your body is completely and totally relaxed you will be ready to move onto the next stage necessary for you to successfully astral project.
The next step, sleep. You have prepared your mind and body for s deep sleep, but remember to stay alert and relaxed. Come up with your own phrase such as ‘I fly, I fly’ there is no wrong motto, so find one that you are comfortable with.
When our minds have nothing else to do, they tend to wander and this can spoil the concentration you need to astral project. Keep repeating your phrase to stay focused.
You have to achieve an altered state of consciousness in order to astral project. You can reach this state by continuing to repeat your phrase to yourself. Another method preferred by many to astral project is the “body of light” method, where you visualize your body transforming into one made of light.
When you begin to astral project three things will happen to let you know. You will have a feeling of movement. You will notice different colors and lights in front of you. Your eyes will be closed as you are still in your chair or bed. When you see the lights this is when you are passing into the astral zone.
Last, it is said that you will hear voices that will tell you to stop or encourage you to keep going. This state lets you know that you have achieved astral projection.
We are all born with the ability to astral project. Practice is the only reason some astral project and some do not.
Astral projecting is an ancient practice that should be treated with the respect that it deserves, much like meditation or yoga. There are a variety of types and names that it is known by. There are also different ways to astral project.
The initial level of astral projection is lucid dreaming. This type of dreaming is dreaming consciously and is known as the first phase of astral projection. By telling yourself ‘I am dreaming’, the simplest form of projection can be achieved.
Once you have done this, you will begin to be able to take control of your dream. However, until this technique is mastered (which can take a while), this can be too unreliable of a way to astral project.
You need to believe that astral projection does work and is a reality. You have already experienced it but you do not realize it.
When you awake from a dream remembering every single detail, this was not a dream; you were astral projecting.
The ability to astral project starts with believing that you can do this. Everyone can astral project it’s just a matter of freeing your mind of the doubts which are keeping you from astral projecting.
By practicing relaxation techniques including meditation, you can prepare yourself to astral project. Meditation is perhaps the most effective technique to prepare yourself to astral project. The important thing is finding a meditation technique which allows you to become completely relaxed.
You should do your meditation in a quiet room where you have a comfortable place to sit and will not be interrupted or distracted. Start freeing your mind of worry and tension. You can’t astral project when you have these negative energies in your mind.
Focus on your breathing, which should be slow and deep. As you exhale, visualize all of your worries leaving your mind along with your breath. You’ll soon be in a state of deep relaxation ideal for astral projection.
Reaching an alternate state of consciousness is the next step. Continue to work on breathing and now your primary goal is to remove stress and completely clear your mind.
The breaths that you are taking should be deep, coming in through the nose and going out of the mouth. As your breathing is slowing and deepening you need to focus on your relaxing on your body.
Start with your toes, as they are the most remote part of your body. There are two ways to do this. You can simply tell each part of your body to relax or tense the muscles up first and then relax each part. Tell each part of your body to relax as you move up. Use the method that you are most comfortable with.
You will begin to feel heavy, as if all your energy and stress is going away as you relax each part of your body. You will notice when this happens. Once this occurs in your entire body, you are ready to move on to the next step in astral projection.
By now, you’ll be so relaxed that you might be ready to doze off. However, you must not do this. Stay focused by repeating a phrase to yourself. You can repeat anything you want as your mantra. You could even use ‘Dubuque, Iowa’. All that matters is that it works for you.
When the human mind is unoccupied, it will tend to wander; this will ruin the concentration you need to astral project. Just keep repeating your phrase to yourself and taking slow, deep breaths.
There are different ways to achieve a state of altered consciousness. You can repeat your chosen phrase or do it another way. Imagine a glowing light, and then imagine you entering it and transforming yourself into this body of light. This is referred to as the body of light technique.
There are three things which you should look out for which will let you know that you have managed to astral project. First, you’ll feel as if you are moving – this is your astral body starting to depart on your journey. Next, you’ll see light and colors even though you’ll have your eyes closed.
Finally, you will hear voices that are going to be telling you to either stop what you are doing or encouraging you to continue. When you get to that third part you have successfully astral projected.
Have you ever before considered floating out from your body and then saw yourself from outside? The probability is that you woke up about then, thinking the dream to be peculiar. However it might in fact have actually been the start of an astral projection during your sleep in which you left your physical body and traveled to a higher astral plane or a different realm of consciousness.
Today there are both esoteric believers as well as countless other individuals, who are extremely interested in mastering projecting themselves into the greater subtle consciousness worlds.
Though a bit weird, this is really an experience of a life-time since it includes leaving your actual body and looking at it from a distance. In addition you can travel as far away as you desire and look at the whole world from your astral body.
The first and primary aspect when learning astral projection requires you to consistently practise reciting affirmations. Bear in mind that in order to obtain anything, you have to have faith that it really is possible. Eliminate anxieties and worries from your mind and consistently affirm or inform your subconscious that it can be done, and you will be able to experience travelling astrally.
Make a note of your views on life if it assists you and keep in mind that faith can easily obtain just about anything.
Mastering astral projection features the very essential element of time. This is the time which is the most useful for mastering astral projection.
Fourthly, learning astral projection entails generating the right environment. Organize for a location which is calm and quiet. Just a dimly lit or candle lit atmosphere where there are no electronic tools to interfere with what you are doing will be adequate. Start with some meditational procedures to soothe yourself and get control of your mind. Let your body rest while increasing the focus of your mind. Have a vision of yourself floating out of your body or even going up out of your body with the assistance of something like a rope, so that in case you feel any type of resistance, you can concentrate all your attention and energy on this vision. Another thing is that you should wear comfy clothes, eat only vegetarian food prior to such exercises and abstinence from products such as liquor or caffeine.
A vital point to indicate in exceling in astral projection is the fact that when you are traveling away from your body, also if you for the tiniest of seconds contemplate or feel a sudden stress and anxiety concerning whether you can easily return back to your body at all, then make sure than you astral projection will concern an abrupt end then and there.
You will feel an unexpected pull from your body or experience a sudden ‘drawing back’ or ‘awakening’ from your astral plane to actuality.
You could even use modern technology in mastering astral projection, making use of Binaural Beats, which are different soundwaves played through each ear for brainwave synchronization. This develops the psychological condition required for astral projection. Becoming good at astral projection could be said to be one of the rewarding method to truly know the complete potential of yourself beyond the illusionary physical cosmos.
Out of Body is something which most of us have some familiarity with, at least as far as we’ve heard the term mentioned somewhere. You may know of it from a film, book or from someone you know.
However, few individuals understand that Out of Body is a very real event. It is something that anyone can do. More than likely you have astral projected and never even realized it.
First though, what is out of body? To put it in the simplest possible terms, out of body is leaving your physical body. It’s something that often happens when you go to sleep. As your body rests, your conscious mind does as well but your subconscious remains active. This is when we are most likely to astral project, although most people do it without having any memory of the act.
Many children actually astral project without being aware of what they are doing. It happens usually when the body is relaxed or even when they are asleep. Time and distance do not mean anything when talking about out of body. The astral body can travel without these considerations.
You may be asking at this point what is meant by the astral body? The meaning of the term astral body is the body’s invisible duplicate, also called the ethereal body. It is where all of our wishes and feelings are stored in our body. I bet you are wondering how the astral body can leave and then also return to the physical body? There is this silver cord that connects the physical body with the astral body.
The silver cord connects the two through your entire life; from the moment you first became aware of being alive until the moment you die. The connection is unbreakable as long as you still draw breath and your astral body will always return.
Where do people go during astral projecting? Your astral body goes to an ethereal, astral duplicate of the physical universe, another plane of reality. The exact nature of the astral plane is unknown, but experts agree that it is made up of different levels, each vibrating to a different frequency than the physical plane.
It is perfectly alright at this stage if you are concerned about possible hazards in doing out of body. The answer to this is both no and yes. We have already mentioned these facts that the astral body always returns to the physical thanks to the silver cord, also that everyone can do out of body. You just need to make sure you have your mind right to do this though. This means that your basic thinking skills should be strong and sound, this way you will be able to know exactly what you want and even more important where you want to go.
Let me caution you here, if your mind is in a dark place or not right then it becomes dangerous to astral project. If you are taking drugs or drinking alcohol it is not wise to astral project because you could wind up in some bad places. The lower levels of the astral plane contain the places that are bad.
It is vital that you understand where you desire going and exactly what you are participating in. You need to strive on doing out of body using your conscious mind. Stay in total control as far as what task that the astral body is performing. Your thoughts and thinking processes are what keeps you in this kind of control.
You can learn to astral project very quickly if you prepare properly beforehand. Many individuals prefer to astral project alone in their own home. However, numerous professionals in the field of Out of Body teach various methods to help others gain control and enjoy an enriched experience. You might even like to try both methods of learning how to astral project.
The Internet is one of the largest repositories of information available on Out of Body. There are hypnotic recordings available and there are also a number of books all of which describe the techniques, what to expect and different ways of dealing with what you discover. Recordings are some of the best ways to prepare because they all you more time than if you were preparing with the help of an in person professional. You can set the recording to play multiple times and take your time so that you are comfortable. This is especially helpful for individuals who have a hard time reaching a state of relaxation.
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.
You can expect the first few attempts to not be as successful as you would like them to be. out of body takes some practice to perfect it and get the results you want. Remember that you have the ability already, all of us have the ability to do out of body, we have just over time forgotten the method and just need to tune our own natural ability to do it.
Still skeptical? Think back to a time when you dreamed you were flying, or felt a sensation of falling. The flying sensation was your astral body moving through the astral planes. The feeling of falling was when you felt your astral body returning to your physical body.
out of body is naturally very real. We can all do it and find it beneficial in many ways.
It does however; take time to fine-tune this natural ability.
Astral projection is something which most of us have some familiarity with, at least as far as we’ve heard the term mentioned somewhere. You may know of it from a film, book or from someone you know.
However, astral projection isn’t something which only happens in fictional entertainment it’s very real and it is something which every man and woman has the capacity to do. You have almost certainly done it yourself, though you may not have known that this is what you were doing.
We need to first look at the definition for astral projection. To state this in very simple terms, astral projection’s definition is a human being able to move out of their physical body. All humans have this ability, in fact they actually do it when they are sleeping in the night.
When you are asleep our physical mind is at rest and the subconscious mind takes over. When this happens that is when a person astral projects. Most people simply don’t remember doing this.
Through astral projection, a person is able to go wherever they want. If you try to remember your childhood, you will likely remember being able to do this at night when you went to bed. As you got older, you began to forget. It is possible to travel anywhere, since you are not bound by time or distance in astral projection. When you are asleep, only the physical body sleeps. It is your astral body that is able to travel.
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 astral body is immediately connected to the physical body upon entering it with this silver cord, this cord cannot ever be broken except through death. This cord actually protects the physical body from losing the astral body.
Another question that is often asked is where the astral body travels to when a person engages in astral projection. The astral body moves along the astral plane. This is, as the astral body is a duplicate for the physical, a duplicate of the physical world. There are a number of ways that it can be described. In some descriptions, it is described as a set of vibrations, which penetrate physical reality but are at a wavelength that separates it from the physical world. It can also be described as a secondary reality or another dimension. What is agreed upon with the descriptions is that there are multiple levels to 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 astral projection 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 dangerous part about astral projection is when an individual does this when their minds aren’t right.
A person should not do astral projection under the influence of drugs or alcohol because they may wind up in some very bad locations. These bad locations would be located on the astral plane’s lower levels.
You should know where you want to go and only astral project when you are in the proper frame of mind to do so. You want to have control over where your astral body goes and what it does.
With the right preparations, you can easily learn astral projection. Most people prefer to practice astral projection at home by themselves.
There are also many professionals in this field that teach different ways of helping a person gain the necessary control to have a better experience, though many people prefer to astral project alone, from the comfort of home.
You can find various other resources such as books online. For instance, you can create the right state of mind by listening to quality astral projection hypnosis recordings.
These recordings can be played on repeat until they reach your subconscious and you begin to astral project.
A new audio technology called binaural beats can also help you to begin astral projecting quickly. These are slightly different frequencies which are played into each ear. These frequencies relax you and allow you to easily attain the mental state needed for astral projection.
Don’t get frustrated if you are not able to successfully astral project the first time or even the second or third time. This is something that you must practice.
It is important to keep in mind that you are simply remembering a skill that you already possess and have used at some point in your past.
If youre still not convinced, consider the last time you dreamed you were flying or felt like you were falling. That sense of flying was your astral body moving through astral planes. The feeling of falling came when you realized that your astral body was returning to your physical body.
Astral projection is a real ability that everyone has, everyone can use and all it needs is a bit of fine-tuning in order to be able to do it at will.
Most people have heard of astral projection at some point or another during the course of their lives. Perhaps it was mentioned by a knowledgeable friend, a book, or a movie.
However, it seems very few know that astral projection is a genuine occurrence. It is something that we can all naturally do. You may have even projected and never realize that you did so. Many people do.
First, you need to understand that astral projection is real. It is the ability of any individual to leave their body. We all have this ability, it happens as we lay sleeping during the night.
During sleep, the physical mind rests but the subconscious mind remains active and takes over. This is when a person astral projects, though most people have no memory of doing this.
Through astral projection, a person is able to go wherever they want. If you try to remember your childhood, you will likely remember being able to do this at night when you went to bed. As you got older, you began to forget. It is possible to travel anywhere, since you are not bound by time or distance in astral projection. When you are asleep, only the physical body sleeps. It is your astral body that is able to travel.
The next question is what the astral body is. It is the ethereal body. The astral body is the invisible duplicate of the body. It houses all our desires and feelings. Does the astral body leave and not return? A silver cord connects the physical and astral bodies together.
The silver cord is present your entire life. Until your astral body leaves your physical body at death, your astral body will always be tied to your physical one by this cord.
You might also be wondering where you go when you astral project. The astral body travels to a different plane called the astral plane, which is the Earths ‘body double.’ This plane vibrates at a faster frequency than the physical Earth, and these vibrations are felt in the Earths core. Another common definition of the astral plane is an alternate dimension of reality. Most agree there are multiple levels to the astral plane.
It is only natural at this point to question whether or not there are any dangers to astral projection. The answer is yes and no. We have established that astral projection is something everyone is capable of doing. We have also stated that there isn’t a way that the astral body can leave the physical body and not come back. But as with anything you do, you need to keep your head about you. This means that you need to make sure you have solid thinking skills so that you are going where you want and you know what you want.
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.
You should limit your astral projection to when you are able to be in a proper state of mind and only after you determine where your astral travels will take you. You want to be in total control of your astral body.
With the correct preparation astral projection can be done by you quickly.
Some individuals prefer doing astral projection 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 astral projection field.
There are many books and other resources you can find online. For example, listening to a good quality astral projection hypnosis recording will create the correct state of mind needed.
These recordings can be played on repeat until they reach your subconscious and you begin to astral project.
You can also make astral projection easier with a new breakthrough in sound technology called binaural beats. These are special recordings which play a slightly different frequency into each ear this quickly produces the mental state conducive to astral projection.
You can expect the first few attempts to not be as successful as you would like them to be. Astral projection takes some practice to perfect it and get the results you want.
It is not an ability that you have to acquire, we are all capable of doing it, many have just forgotten how and need to fine tune the natural skill.
Still need to be convinced? When did you last dream you were flying and then felt as though you were falling? As the astral body, moves through the astral plane it, feels like flying.
The sensation of falling comes when the astral body comes back into the physical body.
Astral projection is naturally very real. We can all do it and find it beneficial in many ways. It does however; take time to fine-tune this natural ability.
The term ‘astral plane’ refers to an alternative plane of existence, a different realm of consciousness separated from that of the physical body. Spread by ancient religions and other philosophers, the act of astral projection involves your consciousness to travel from out of your physical body to another astral plane.
Do you imagine what it would feel to leave your body and let your consciousness journey to different ethereal levels, observing your own body and the world from a long way away? It is because of this that comprehending astral travel is extremely popular amongst many different cultures.
In truly grasping astral projection, you need to have faith in yourself and make sure that you really believe that you can separate your aura, astral body or consciousness from your physical body making it float freely to celestial realms. The best way of doing this is to write down all your thoughts on life and reality, thereafter make a note of all of the good things that you want to see materializing and affirm your mind regarding this.
Meditation is a really important component which is crucial for mastering astral projection. Through the use of meditation one achieves increased self-consciousness with understanding about his true self and real potential. It assists calming one’s mind, increasing awareness and control over one’s subconscious and assists in imagining and focusing all of his energy and attention to that vision which is very important in case of mastering astral projection.
The grasping of astral travel includes the very crucial element of time. The perfect time in which to induce such a projection is during REM sleep. Humans have four stages of sleep with each stage becoming deeper than the previous one. After the final stage of very deep sleep, we see the reversal of the cycle till it reaches the phase commonly called REM or rapid eye movement stage where the activity of the brain is at its maximum value. This is the time which is the most efficient for comprehending astral travel.
When you are completely prepared mentally for astral projection and know the right time for it, find a minimimely lit room where it is calm and peaceful without any interference from anyone else or electrical devices. It is necessary to abstain from too much food and items like caffeine and thereafter lie down slowly. It is a good idea to wear light comfortable clothes. Your primary goal should be to mimic REM sleep.
You should start with tiny meditational techniques for relaxing your mind and to guide your energies. Attempt to visualize a rope dangling ahead of you and yourself climbing out of your body. Go into a profound trance like phase and focus all your energies on this perception.
What can prevent astral projection is the fear or anxiousness in the mind of the person concerning coming back to his or her physical body. Always remember that having faith in something is really the most essential thing and even the insignificant doubt concerning such things will prevent the travel from being a success.
You will experience a pulling effect from your body or feel a unexpected ‘sucking back’ from your astral plane to reality.
Nowadays you can make use of Binaural Beats in grasping astral projection if you go the technological way. This will involve you hearing different sound waves through each ear which goes into the brain to synchronize and thereby establish a psychic state that is highly efficient to astral travel.
Learning how to astral project really is a highly rewarding way to truly realize the full potential of yourself beyond illusionary reality.
An out of body experience is the feeling one gets the feeling of out of his own body or out of soul.This feeling generally perceives when one reaches the destination of near to death.
An OBE is a sensation of floating outside of your body while you are still aware of your surroundings.
An out of body experience is not an idea to be laughed at, because so many people who were apparently dying actually remember seeing their physical body lying in a room. They are even able to describe events that occurred in that room while they were ‘there’ seeing their body as if they were outside it.
The term of out of body experience came into existence in 1943 when earlier it was termed to be said as projection.In olden days this kind of experience was called spirit walking.Scientific researches are still going on with this particular phenomenon as such one cannot deny it as something imaginary.
It has been estimated that around one in ten people will have an out of body experience at some time. With so many people having this experience and offering such a large amount of data for study, it becomes impossible to dismiss astral travel as an imaginary incident.
Some people have an OBE spontaneously, while for others it might be the result of physical or mental trauma, using psychotropic drugs or the body slipping into a comatose or trance-like state.
There are a plethora of websites on the net that promise a person astral travel and astral projection joys. Astral projection is not a difficult thing for one to do, as long as that person does it the right way. It is believed that astral projection is a natural process, a process that has been since ancient times by ancient people.
However, you can learn astral projection from a teacher or through a book or audio course. It is a matter of learning the correct technique and does not depend upon mental powers or spiritual development.
You do need to focus on one thing, however. The conscious part of your mind restrains you from having an OBE because it fears that once you project yourself out from your body you will not be able to return. This fear often prevents astral projection and astral travel.
One can believe in the fact that his astral body can leave his physical one for a while.If one starts believing in the fact that his astral body can leave his physical body,then he may take that fact as his way towards success.This shows that his conscious mind has automatically adjusted itself to let go of the fact that he is in astral world.
But in this situation if one feels like his body is not going to come back to the same physical terms and normal form,then one should awarely leave further persuasion of the method.
However, if you are able to silence your mind, and believe that your astral body will return to your physical body you can astral travel. Any purposeful (done on purpose)out of the body experience starts with a mediation or self hypnosis. You have to start thinking positively by telling yourself that you want to have an out of the body experience. When the mind takes over you are will notice that you are more open to the thought of astral travel.
Now you need to lie down in a quiet place where you will not be disturbed. Let your arms rest at your sides. Allow your aura to become one with Mother Nature. You should be breathing deeply, but slowly so that your body relaxes.
At this instance one is going to start feeling the jingling expression where one should encourage this sensation.If conscious thoughts keep coming in that stage one should remove them away,and keep their focus into the main stream by breathing deeply and gently.
It normally starts with the signs of body vibration and rapid heart-beats.One should let these vibrations to engulf him without letting himself to get into over-excitation.One should leave the body in the hands of this astral world for finer journey.
For some people, their astral journey ended because a fear overcame them that their astral body was not going to be able to make it back because it was getting to far away.
Others report they leave for unimaginable new spheres of existence and have experiences with such a level of clarity they cannot be mistaken for dreams or imaginings. You have the ability to astral travel as well. You can learn how to do it but the first step is in believing you can and that it is totally safe to do so.
Every person in the world man, woman and child is born with the ability to astral project. This is a very real ability and practice is the only difference between those who rarely astral project or do so with difficulty and those who can astral project at will.
Astral projection is a technique with a long pedigree, just as that possessed by yoga and meditation.
Astral projection is known by a lot of different names and there are several ways which you can astral project.
Lucid dreaming is the first level of astral projection. This form of dreaming is when you consciously dream and one type is astral projection. Many say this is a simple form of projection and that while you are dreaming, you begin by telling yourself ‘I am dreaming’
Lucid dreaming lets you take control of what happens in your dreams; but it can take a while to be able to do this on a regular basis.
This means that it is not an ideal way to astral project, at least for those who are new to the practice.
Astral projection is something you have done before, although you may not realize that you have done so.
When you awake from a dream and are able to remember every detail vividly, down to the very smallest elements, you have had an experience of astral projecting. You may have had this happen to you many times this shows you that you can astral project!
The key to projecting is to believe that you can do it. This belief will help to eliminate doubts about astral projection and can propel you into becoming a pro.
Learn some good meditation and relaxation techniques; these will make it easier for you to astral project. Meditation will get your mind and body ready for the experience of astral projection. Start practicing relaxation and meditation routines you like to get prepared.
If you are wondering where to begin when it comes to meditation, try sitting in a comfortable chair in a peaceful place. When you are relaxed, clear your mind, if stress or work pops into your head, push it out and focus on nothing.
Begin to eliminate all thoughts from your mind and focus on your breathing. You want to take deep, slow breaths in thorough your nose, out through your mouth. If you can remain focused on your breathing, you’ll begin to feel yourself relaxing.
To reach an altered state of consciousness, focus more and more on you breathing, which should be slow and deep.
The breaths you take should come from deep down inside. As your breathing slows down, focus more and more on relaxing your body.
Starting from your toes and working your way up, relax each part of your body. You can do this by gently tensing, then relaxing each part as you work towards your head or simply focus on relaxing each part as you exhale.
At this point, you will start to feel heavy almost as if energy is leaving your body. As you get to this point, and you are completely relaxed, you will know that it is time to move on to the next step of astral projection.
You will want to go to sleep by now, but do not do that. Find a way to stay alert. Try repeating a command as some experts recommend such as ‘I’m flying, I’m flying.’ It does not matter what it is, just something to keep you alert enough to avoid falling asleep.
When our minds have nothing else to do, they tend to wander and this can spoil the concentration you need to astral project.
Keep repeating your phrase to stay focused.
To actually reach an altered state of consciousness, there are several methods. You can repeat your statement to reach this next level. Or you can use the body of light technique. This technique is where you see a body of light in your mind that you envision yourself turning into.
You can watch for these three signs to know that you are beginning to astral project. One is feeling a sensation of motion, even though your body will be at rest. Another is ‘seeing’ colors and lights with your eyes closed.
Finally is beginning to hear voices telling you either to stop your meditation or to continue on and astral project. These signs will let you know for sure that you are astral projecting.
More often than not, the majority have heard the term as Out of Body. Perhaps they heard it from a movie, book or an enlightened associate.
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.
But what is Out of Body, exactly? This is the ability to leave one’s physical body this is something which often happens while we are sleeping. When our bodies are at rest and our conscious minds largely disengaged, our subconscious remains active. You may not remember doing so, but you have almost certainly had some experience with Out of Body.
Many children actually astral project without being aware of what they are doing. It happens usually when the body is relaxed or even when they are asleep. Time and distance do not mean anything when talking about out of body. The astral body can travel without these considerations.
Let’s explain the astral body. This is an invisible and non-physical version of your physical body which is the product of your will and your subconscious desires. Your astral body always comes home to your physical one because of an unbreakable bond between them which is called the silver cord.
This cord was actually connected the first moment that your astral body went into your physical body and this cord cannot be cut until your astral body departs the physical body one last time at your death. This cord is what keeps your astral body from staying away when it leaves your physical body.
When we astral project, where do our astral bodies go? They go to their natural element, the astral plane: an ethereal counterpart to the physical world.
Experts are not all in agreement about exactly how the astral plane works, but they generally agree that there are many different levels which make up the astral plane and that it is tuned to a slightly different rate of our vibration than our own. We can’t perceive it with our physical senses, but our astral bodies can travel through this plane of reality with ease.
Are there any risks to Out of Body? Yes and no. Your physical body is at no risk and nothing can keep your astral body from returning, but there are some dangers. However, the risk is pretty minimal. Just keep a level head and know where you’re going beforehand.
The only dangers exist when astral projecting while intoxicated. When you’re not fully in control of yourself, then emotional or psychological damage could result. The most dangerous parts of the astral plane are its lowest levels exactly where you’re the most likely to end up while under the influence.
Mental preparation is key when astral projecting this is true whether you are just learning, fine-tuning your experiences or if you are an expert. Once you have, the process of preparation down it is easy to reach the space of Out of Body and to control this process.
When engaging in out of body it is important to prepare properly. Once you know how to prepare, you will find that out of body is a quick and easy process. The method of preparation varies depending on the professional consulted. However, there are a number of, at home, training programs that provide individuals with the opportunity to learn how to control the experience and ultimately obtain both more enjoyment and benefit from astral projecting.
You can find various other resources such as books online. For instance, you can create the right state of mind by listening to quality Out of Body hypnosis recordings. It will help you relax and walk you through the various stages. This is beneficial since you can continue playing the recording repeatedly until your subconscious mind picks up the message that it is all right for you to leave your body.
Sound technology can also be helpful. There is a technology known as binaural beats, which plays a variety of frequencies in each ear. These frequencies are slightly different and as a result relax the body quickly. This places the mind into a deep meditation making it easier to astral project.
Like any ability, even those which we’re born with it can take some time to master astral projecting. We all have this ability naturally, but you’ll have to be patient and keep trying. You might not succeed the first few times, but if you keep trying, you’ll learn how to use this inborn capability.
Still in doubt about Out of Body? How about an example from your own life? You’ve had those dreams where you’re flying which end with a falling sensation right before you wake up. You weren’t really dreaming the sensation of flight was what your astral body feels like as it travels. When you felt you were falling, that was your astral body returning to your physical one.
out of body is naturally very real. We can all do it and find it beneficial in many ways. It does however; take time to fine-tune this natural ability.
Many people believe that everyone is born with the ability of astral projection. Practice makes perfect and that is the only difference between those can and those who can’t.
Just like yoga and meditation, astral projection has a very long history. People have called astral projection by many different names over the centuries and there are also many different techniques which can help you to astral project.
One of these methods is lucid dreaming. This is something you probably already know something about. This, of course is when you are able to control your dreams because you are conscious and in full control of your faculties in the dream. You can begin lucid dreaming by telling yourself “I am dreaming” while you are in a dream.
Lucid dreaming is a method of astral projecting which can take a while to become an expert in. This means that while this is one of the ways that you can astral project, it’s probably not the best way to begin astral projecting if you are not already skilled in the practice.
Even if you are unaware of having done so, you have astral projected before.
Have you ever woken up from a dream either in the middle of the night or in the morning and remembered a ‘dream’ that you had the night before really well. As if you had lived it. That was an astral projection.
The key to projecting is to believe that you can do it. This belief will help to eliminate doubts about astral projection and can propel you into becoming a pro.
By practicing relaxation techniques including meditation, you can prepare yourself to astral project. Meditation is perhaps the most effective technique to prepare yourself to astral project. The important thing is finding a meditation technique which allows you to become completely relaxed.
Choose a room where you will not be distracted, have a comfortable place to sit and where you will be able to have peace and quiet.
Pay attention to your breathing, take slow deep breathes. Imagine all your troubles leaving your body when you breathe out. This will put you in a deeply relaxed state that will enable you to astral project.
Reaching an alternate state of consciousness is the next step. Continue to work on breathing and now your primary goal is to remove stress and completely clear your mind.
Your breaths should grow slower and deeper as you move your focus to relaxing your body.
Begin with your toes and move on up your body telling each part to relax. When you breathe out, tell each part of your body to relax. You can also tense the muscles up first and then relax them, whichever works best for you.
With each exhalation, you should feel the tension leaving your body. Once your body is completely and totally relaxed you will be ready to move onto the next stage necessary for you to successfully astral project.
At this point, you are completely ready and prepared for sleep, but it is important to stay alert during this time. Many practicing projectors come up with a phrase such as ‘I can fly, I can fly’ there is no wrong phrase, so you can come up with your own.
Boredom tends to set in when the mind is not stimulated, so you may find yourself losing focus.
If you find yourself doing this, stop the session or to help bring your mind back into focus, continue to repeat your phrase.
You have to achieve an altered state of consciousness in order to astral project. You can reach this state by continuing to repeat your phrase to yourself. Another method preferred by many to astral project is the “body of light” method, where you visualize your body transforming into one made of light.
You will experience three separate feelings when your astral body is projecting. You will have the sensation that you are moving. You will see lights and colors before your eyes even though they are closed. At this point, your astral body is going into the astral world.
You will then hear voices telling you to stop or to continue this is a sure sign that you are astral projecting.
An astral plane describes an alternative plane of existence, a different world of consciousness divided from that of the physical body. Propagated by old religions and other esoteric philosophers, the term astral projection entails your spirit travelling forth from your physical body to an alternative astral plane.
Many people today are devoting a whole lot of effort in learning astral projection. This is due to the fact that the experience of leaving your earthly, physical body and viewing it from a distance is an experience of a lifetime. In addition, your subtle state of consciousness, your aura, or your astral existence, goes beyond the physical universe and moves easily to a higher plane moving away from the body to anywhere desired, observing the world at a distance. For this reason, exceling in astral projection is an incredibly sought-after task amidst the esoteric followers.
In mastering astral projection, the main thing is asserting to your subconscious mind that you will definitely be successful at it. If your subconscious is unsure and you have even the tiniest doubt, then astral travel will definitely be extremely difficult for you. Absolute faith achieves just about anything and for this reason the most reliable technique is to jot down several of your views regarding life and our reality and then write down and restate to yourself about the eternally free, omnipotent nature of your soul, which can easily travel to alternative astral planes.
The third aspect of consideration in learning astral projection refers to the time of the projection. For this area the concept of REM needs to be clarified. After 4 stages of rest each deeper and slower than the others, the cycle of rest reverses. REM is short for Rapid Eye Motion phase when the brain is strongly active and dreams are created. It is this period of time which is the most likely time for astral projection.
Now that you have prepared yourself psychologically for astral travel and understand the excellent time for it, arrange for a dimly lit space where there’s calm and rate without any sort of interference from individual or electrical machines. Your key objective should be to mirror REM slumber. Attempt to imagine a cordage dangling in front of you and yourself going up out of your body.
A very important point to note in exceling in astral projection is the fact that when you are traveling away from your body, even if you for the least of seconds think about or feel an abrupt stress and anxiety concerning whether you can return back to your body at all, then make sure than you astral projection will pertain to an unexpected end then and there. You will definitely feel an abrupt pull from your body or experience a sudden ‘sucking back’ or ‘waking up’ from your astral plane to truth.
Lastly, technical inventions like binaural beats can easily be used in developing the psychological state that is conducive to astral projection. Binaural beats entail hearing 2 different sound vibrations with both ears which then syncronizes with your own brainwaves which helps to develop the required mental state. Whatever strategy is used, becoming good at astral projection is not really simple and requires you to make use of your higher mindpower. However, when it is attained, it is truly an experience of a life-time which opens numerous doors to your character which you could not have actually understood previously.
Astral projection is something which everyone has at least some familiarity with. It’s something you may have seen or heard about in a book or in a movie.
Relatively few people, though, comprehend that astral projection 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.
We need to first look at the definition for astral projection. To state this in very simple terms, astral projection’s definition is a human being able to move out of their physical body. All humans have this ability, in fact they actually do it when they are sleeping in the night.
When you are asleep our physical mind is at rest and the subconscious mind takes over. When this happens that is when a person astral projects. Most people simply don’t remember doing this.
When you do project you get to go wherever you want. As you remember when you were a child, you probably can recall doing this as you went to bed, as you grew up you have forgotten it though. You have limitless possibilities of places to go, there are no restrictions as far as distance or time where astral projection is concerned. When you are sleeping your physical body is at sleep, while the astral body goes on a journey.
You may wonder what the astral body is. It is the ethereal body; it is the duplicate of the body in an invisible form. All of our desires and feeling originate from there. Can the astral body leave and not come back? A silver cord unites the astral and physical bodies.
This connection is there from your birth until your death. The silver cord keeps your astral and physical bodies inextricably linked for your entire life.
Where is it that your astral body goes in its travels? Your astral body goes to the astral plane, a non-physical duplicate of the physical universe. The astral plane is thought to operate at a different frequency than our own, some saying that it is an alternate universe. Most agree that the astral plane is not a single monolithic place, however.
It is only natural at this point to question whether or not there are any dangers to astral projection. The answer is yes and no. We have established that astral projection is something everyone is capable of doing. We have also stated that there isn’t a way that the astral body can leave the physical body and not come back. But as with anything you do, you need to keep your head about you. This means that you need to make sure you have solid thinking skills so that you are going where you want and you know what you want.
Attempting astral projection under the influence of mind altering and perception altering substances such as drugs or alcohol can have a serious effect on the ability of the traveler to travel in safety.
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 astral projection.
With the right preparations, you can easily learn astral projection. Most people prefer to practice astral projection at home by themselves.
Most people like to do their astral projection while alone in the privacy of their home. That said, there are astral projection professionals who conduct group astral travel sessions in order to help others learn how to control their astral projection and to make the most of the experience. You may want to try astral projection both on your own and in a group under the guidance of a professional.
There are resources out there which can be of assistance as you learn astral projection. You can find many books on the subject and there are also many websites which can get you started. There are also some useful aids you can try such as astral projection hypnosis recordings.
This type of recording will help you fully relax and will take you through the necessary stages. The advantage of a recording over a professional session is that you can play the recording multiple times until your subconscious receives the message that it is okay for the astral body to leave the physical body.
Sound technology can also be helpful. There is a technology known as binaural beats, which plays a variety of frequencies in each ear. These frequencies are slightly different and as a result relax the body quickly. This places the mind into a deep meditation making it easier to astral project.
On your first couple of attempts at astral projection, you may not succeed. This is nothing to get discouraged over; practice makes perfect with astral projection as it does with every other kind of skill.
It is not an ability that you have to acquire, we are all capable of doing it, many have just forgotten how and need to fine tune the natural skill.
If youre still skeptical about astral projection, think back to those dreams you’ve had where you are flying and then suddenly following which you may have had right before waking. Flying is how your astral body travels and the falling sensation was your astral body returning to your physical one; it wasn’t a dream at all!
Astral projection is something which any one of us can do and it will become easier with practice.
At one time or another most people have heard about doing astral projection. Maybe they have a friend that practices it, or watched some movie about it, or even read a book on the subject.
Astral projection is real and it’s something which anyone can learn to do. In fact, you’ve probably already astral projected and were unaware of it.
First, you need to understand that astral projection is real. It is the ability of any individual to leave their body. We all have this ability, it happens as we lay sleeping during the night.
Astral projection happens most often while we are asleep. When our physical body and conscious minds inactive, the subconscious can take control and this is the part of our mind that controls our psychic abilities.
You go wherever you want to go when you project. If you can recall your childhood you may be able to remember having the ability to do this after going to sleep, eventually you forgot, as you got older. There is no such thing as time and distance when it concerns astral projection, you can go anywhere. While you are sleeping, your physical body is asleep. Your astral body travels.
You may be asking at this point what is meant by th astral body? The meaning of the term astral body is the body’s invisible duplicate, also called the ethereal body. It is where all of our wishes and feelings are stored in our body. I bet you are wondering how the astral body can leave and then also return to the physical body? There is this silver cord that connects the physical body with the astral body.
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.
Naturally, the question of danger astral projecting comes to mind. The answer is both yes and no. We all have the ability to astral project. We know that the astral body can leave the physical body it will return. However, we must be sensible as with all things. Astral projection requires a good solid thinking skills and understanding what it is you want and where you would like to go.
The danger in astral projection is when your mind is unsound.
If you are under the influence of a controlled substance like drugs or alcohol, you could wind up in bad places. These places represent the lower levels of the astral plane.
The key to astral projection involves knowing what it is you are doing and where you want to go while doing it. You must have complete control of what your astral body may be doing, since your thoughts control your projection experiences.
If you take the time to get properly prepared ahead of time, you might find that you are able to astral project quite quickly.
There are a number of professionals in the field of astral projection that teach different techniques to help a person gain that control and have a better experience, though most prefer to astral project on their own at home.
You can find various other resources such as books online. For instance, you can create the right state of mind by listening to quality astral projection hypnosis recordings.
This will help you completely relax as well as take you through the various stages. An advantage of this over a professional session is that you can play the recording multiple times until your subconscious mind begins to accept that it is perfectly fine for your astral body to leave your physical body.
A breakthrough in audio technology, binaural beats can help you to astral project in short order. These are special recordings which feature slightly different frequencies for each ear and cause you to relax and reach the meditative state required for astral projection.
If you are unsuccessful, your first few times when you begin astral projecting do not become discouraged. Practice will make perfect since this is not something that you cannot already do.
Astral projection can take some practice before you get good at it and with time, you will develop this natural ability.
Things to look for are the feelings of flight or falling. Falling usually indicates the return of the astral form to the physical and flying is usually indicative of actually engaging in astral projection.
Astral projection is real! Anyone can do it and benefit from it, if they take the time to fine tune their natural ability.
Becoming a success with Astral Travel includes grasping the art of splitting up your sentience from your physical body and journeying from this towards a much higher astral dimension.
Historically, ancient religious practitioners were presumed to be proficient projecting and could exceed the physical restraints of the universe by projecting to a higher plane.
Many people try really hard trying to master astral projection. This is because the amazing act of leaving your own physical body to look at it from afar is a mind blowing experience. Moreover, your subtle state of consciousness, your aura or your soul transcends what we think of as being reality and moves freely to a higher plane travelling away from the body to wherever you want, looking at the world at a distance.
Hence, mastering astral projection is a very popular activity amidst new age followers and others.
In mastering astral travel, you need to have faith in yourself and truly believe that you can detach your aura, astral body or consciousness from your physical body making it move freely to ethereal dimensions. The best way of doing this is to write down all your thoughts on existence and reality, thereafter record all of the good things that you want to see happening and make affirmations regarding the latter.
It is really vital in mastering astral projection is to meditate. By meditating, you become more aware of your inner self. You will find that you are able to control your subconscious and channel all your energies into what you desire which results in you developing a heightened power of concentration which is vital for successful astral projection.
The comprehending of astral travel includes the very crucial element of time. The perfect moment in which projection should be induced is during REM sleep. Humans sleep in four stages with each phase becoming rapidly deeper than the one before. After the last phase of very deep sleep, the cycle reverses till it comes to the stage commonly called REM or rapid eye movement stage where the brain’s activity is at its highest. This is the moment which is the most conducive for mastering astral projection.
Successfully grasping astral projection implies creating the correct ambience.
Small facilitating factors would be to wear comfortable clothing, only eat vegetarian food prior to such activities and refraining from items such as coffee or other stimulants. Arrange for a space which is calm and tranquil. A softly lit or candle lit atmosphere where there are no electronic mechanisms to cause interference should really be sufficient.
You should start with tiny meditational procedures for calming down your mind and to guide your energies. Attempt to envision a rope suspended ahead of you and yourself climbing out of your body. Go into a deep unconsciousness like state and focus all your energies on this perception.
An important point to take note of in grasping astral travel is the fact that when you are journeying away from your physical body, even if you for the slightest of moments start to feel a sudden anxiety concerning whether it is possible to return back to your body at all, then you can be certain that your astral projection will come to a sudden end then and there.
Don’t be afraid or you will not be successful. Even if you manage to travel to a higher plane and suddenly get scared in journeying out from the body you will instantly return.
You can surprisingly turn to technology. Binaural beats is actually two slightly unique soundwaves played through different ears results in the synchronization of your brainwaves which creates the mental condition needed for astral projection.
Learning how to astral project can be said to be one of the most rewarding way to be able to comprehend what your potential really is beyond what we have been led to believe is reality.
The ability to astral project is something which every person already possesses; we are in fact born being able to do this. So why are there those who can astral project at will and those who have much less success with the technique? The answer is simple practice.
The art of astral projection is ancient in the same way as yoga or meditation and deserves respect. It is known by many different names and types. There are also various ways to accomplish astral projection.
Lucid dreaming is one type of astral projecting. Lucid dreaming is of course when we are conscious of our dreaming this is actually astral projecting. In order to lucid dream, all you need to do is to tell yourself ‘I am dreaming’ while in the dream.
Lucid dreaming lets you take control of what happens in your dreams; but it can take a while to be able to do this on a regular basis. This means that it is not an ideal way to astral project, at least for those who are new to the practice.
You have already astral projected, even if you are not specifically aware of it.
Have you ever woken up in the morning and remember a dream as if you were really there? This is form of astral projection.
To get started, you have to know that you can astral project. Since all of us have this ability already, all you have to do is to clear the doubts from your mind and begin trying to astral project.
Meditating and practicing relaxation techniques will also help you astral project. Meditating is actually an ideal way to prepare your mind and body for astral projection. All you have to do is find a meditative practice that you can follow easily and that you will be able to stick with.
To begin meditation, sit in a quiet, peaceful room in a comfy chair, make sure that there are no distractions. As you become relaxed, clear your mind of all stress and day to day problems.
Do not focus on any stresses or troubles that are burdening you. The best way to do this is to focus on your breathing, your breathing should be deep and slow. With each breath you should see all the troubles in your head leaving you through your mouth. This will help you reach that deeply relaxed state that is needed to astral project.
You now need to go deeper into a state of altered consciousness. Just think about your breathing as you are now without worry or stress. Your mind is clear, you are taking deep breathes.
You’ll feel your breathing become slower and deeper still. Concentrate completely on relaxing your body more and more.
Focus on each part of the body, starting at the farthest points, your toes. You can do one of two things here. You can either tense and relax each part of your body as you move up the body or you can say as you exhale, ‘My toes are relaxing, I am relaxing.’
You’ll begin to feel heavy and limp as you release all of the tension and negative energy. After you have relaxed your entire body, then it’s time to move on to the next step in starting to astral project.
Although you’re so relaxed by this point that it would be very easy to go to sleep, you need to stay alert. One good way to do this is to recite a sort of mantra to repeat to yourself. Anything will do you can even just say ‘walk the dog, walk the dog’.
This works because the mind will wander when given nothing else to do and your focus and relaxation will be ruined. If you lose focus, you’ll have to start all over again. Keep repeating your phrase to stay on track as you prepare to astral project.
There are different ways to achieve a state of altered consciousness. You can repeat your chosen phrase or do it another way. Imagine a glowing light, and then imagine you entering it and transforming yourself into this body of light. This is referred to as the body of light technique.
As you start to astral project, there are three signs which you can watch for to know that you are doing so successfully. The first is a sensation of motion, even though your physical body is perfectly still. The second is ‘seeing’ color and light, even though your eyes will be closed.
You will then hear voices telling you to stop or to continue this is a sure sign that you are astral projecting.
Every single man and woman on earth has the ability to astral project. It’s not something which only a few can do in fact, the only difference between those people who can astral project at will and those who rarely do so is practice!
The art of astral projection is ancient in the same way as yoga or meditation and deserves respect. It is known by many different names and types. There are also various ways to accomplish astral projection.
Lucid dreaming, for example. You already know what lucid dreaming is this is when you are conscious within a dream and able to direct the course of the dream. This takes practice to do reliably, but it is as simple as saying to yourself ‘I am dreaming’ while you are in the middle of a dream.
Doing this lets you take the reins in your dreams but it takes a while to master this, making it not the best way for beginners to astral project.
You have already astral projected, even if you are not specifically aware of it.
Have you ever woken up from a dream either in the middle of the night or in the morning and remembered a ‘dream’ that you had the night before really well. As if you had lived it. That was an astral projection.
The key to success in astral projection is to believe you can do it. Any doubts or fears you have will only hold you back and make it harder for you to astral project.
Relaxation techniques like meditation can help you to astral project successfully. Meditation is an especially good method of preparing yourself to astral project. You’ll just need to find a regular routine of meditation which works for you.
Choose a room where you will not be distracted, have a comfortable place to sit and where you will be able to have peace and quiet.
Focus on your breathing and make it deep and slow. Let your troubles leave your mind through your mouth as you breathe out. This will allow you to reach the relaxed state perfect for astral projection.
As you become closer and closer to the state where you can astral project, keep focusing on your breathing.
The breaths that you are taking should be deep, coming in through the nose and going out of the mouth. As your breathing is slowing and deepening you need to focus on your relaxing on your body.
The next step is to totally relax your body, starting from the ground up. Tense each part of the body then relax it, as you exhale to relax, repeat ‘my toes are relaxing, and I am relaxing too.’
The best way to describe what you are going to feel is ‘heavy’ it is going to feel as though all of the energy and tension is slipping away from each part of your body. You will know it when it happens. Once you have relaxed each part of your body it is time for you to move to the next step that is going to help you astral project.
Your body and your mind will be completely relaxed and it would be very easy to fall asleep, but don’t! To stay alert, you can repeat a phrase to yourself. It doesn’t matter what this phrase is it could be as simple as ‘walk the dog, walk the dog’.
When the human mind is unoccupied, it will tend to wander; this will ruin the concentration you need to astral project. Just keep repeating your phrase to yourself and taking slow, deep breaths.
There are different ways to achieve a state of altered consciousness. You can repeat your chosen phrase or do it another way. Imagine a glowing light, and then imagine you entering it and transforming yourself into this body of light. This is referred to as the body of light technique.
There are three signs which will let you know that you are successfully astral projecting. One is that you’ll experience a sensation of motion, followed by seeing light and color even though your eyes will be closed.
You will probably hear voices. These voices will warn you to stop or tell you to go ahead. You will know you have been successful in astral projection when you get to this stage.
Have you ever before considered moving out from your body and then watched yourself from outside? Chances are that you awakened then, thinking the dream to be unusual. However it might in fact have actually been the start of an astral projection throughout your sleep in which you left your physical body and traveled to a greater astral level or a different dimension of awareness.
Lot of people today are devoting a great deal of time and effort in learning astral projection. This is because of the fact that the experience of leaving your earthly, physical body and viewing it from a distance is an experience of a lifetime. Moreover, your subtle state of consciousness, your aura, or your astral existence, transcends the physical universe and moves easily to a higher plane moving away from the body to anywhere desired, seeing the world at a distance. As a result, exceling in astral projection is an incredibly desired task amidst the esoteric followers.
The very first and most important point when learning astral projection needs you to consistently practise reciting affirmations. Remember that in order to acquire anything, you have to believe that that it can be done. Remove fears and uneasiness from your mind and regularly affirm or inform your subconscious that it can be done, and you will successfully experience travelling astrally.
Jot down your beliefs on life if it aids you and keep in mind that faith can achieve almost anything.
The third thing to note in mastering astral projection is the time in which you will induce it. Almost all astral projection that takes place is connected with sleep, specifically REM and lucid dreaming phases. When you are sleeping you experience 4 phases of sleep increasing deeper in each one. After the fourth phase the cycle changes till it reaches the REM mode which is composed of Rapid eye Movement and intense mind activity. This is the time when individuals have a huge amount of dreams and the right time to attempt astral projection.
Fourthly, learning astral projection includes developing the best atmosphere. Arrange for somewhere which is calm and quiet. Just a dimly lit or candle lit ambience where there are no digital devices to meddle with what you are doing will be enough. Begin with some meditational methods to soothe yourself and obtain control of your mind. Let your body rest while increasing the focus of your mind. Have a vision of yourself floating out of your body or even climbing from your body with the assistance of something like a ladder, so that if you feel any sort of resistance, you can concentrate all your attention and energy on this vision. Another thing is that you should wear comfortable apparel, only eat vegetarian food prior to such workouts and abstinence from products such as liquor or caffeine.
An essential point to note in mastering astral projection is the fact that when you are traveling away from your body, also if you for the tiniest of moments consider or feel an unexpected stress and anxiety referring to whether you can return back to your body at all, then make sure than you astral projection will definitely concern an unexpected end then and there.
You will certainly feel a sudden pull from your body or experience an abrupt ‘drawing back’ or ‘waking up’ from your astral plane to actuality.
You can easily make use of Binaural Beats in mastering astral projection if you decide to use technological methods. This entails listening to sound waves at different frequencies with each ear which synchronizes your own brainwaves, therefore generating a mental condition that is highly conductive to astral projection. Whatever strategy you decide to utilize to get yourself ready before you start experiencing the voyage of astral travel, it’s a voyage of a life time and an experience to remember.
You’ve almost certainly at least heard of Out of Body before. You might have learned of it from a book or movie or perhaps a friend has been talking about it. While you know the term and maybe even have an idea of what it is, what you probably don’t know is that this is not something which only happens in fiction.
However, there are only a small number of people that understand that out of body is both real and something that anyone and everyone can do. In fact, many people have actually experienced at least one out of body in their lives and while some may be aware of this experience, many people are not.
In order to determine if you have had an out of body experience or to begin learning to astral project it is important to understand what out of body is. Simply put out of body is when your spirit body leaves your physical body. This is something that happens naturally at night when you are asleep, but it is possible for you to do it consciously and control the journey of your spirit body.
Through Out Of Body, a person is able to go wherever they want. If you try to remember your childhood, you will likely remember being able to do this at night when you went to bed. As you got older, you began to forget.
It is possible to travel anywhere, since you are not bound by time or distance in Out Of Body. When you are asleep, only the physical body sleeps. It is your astral body that is able to travel.
You may be asking at this point what is meant by the astral body? The meaning of the term astral body is the body’s invisible duplicate, also called the ethereal body. It is where all of our wishes and feelings are stored in our body. I bet you are wondering how the astral body can leave and then also return to the physical body? There is this silver cord that connects the physical body with the astral body.
The silver cord connects the two through your entire life; from the moment you first became aware of being alive until the moment you die. The connection is unbreakable as long as you still draw breath and your astral body will always return.
When we astral project, where do our astral bodies go? They go to their natural element, the astral plane: an ethereal counterpart to the physical world. Experts are not all in agreement about exactly how the astral plane works, but they generally agree that there are many different levels which make up the astral plane and that it is tuned to a slightly different rate of our vibration than our own. We can’t perceive it with our physical senses, but our astral bodies can travel through this plane of reality with ease.
After learning about Out of Body and about this other plane of existence, the questions of safety and danger arise. The answer is both yes and no to both the questions of is there danger and is it safe. The astral plane is made up of a number of levels. Some of these levels are safe others are not and the mental clarity and focus of the person astral projecting often determines on which level they travel.
Let me caution you here, if your mind is in a dark place or not right then it becomes dangerous to astral project. If you are taking drugs or drinking alcohol it is not wise to astral project because you could wind up in some bad places. The lower levels of the astral plane contain the places that are bad.

The term ‘astral plane’ refers to an alternative reality, another realm of consciousness separated from that of the physical body. Propagated by some of the earliest religions and other philosophers, the term astral projection involves your spiritual self to travel from out of your body to an alternative astral plane.
Many people try really hard trying to master astral projection. This is due to the fact that the incredible experience of leaving your own physical body to view it from afar is truly life-changing experience. Moreover, what is known as your consciousness subtle state, your aura or your spiritual self transcends what we think of as being reality and moves freely to a higher plane moving away from the body to wherever you desire, observing everything at a distance.
This means that astral projection is a very popular activity amidst the esoteric believers.
A really important and paramount part of learning to master astral projection needs psychic affirmations. Remember that in order to attain anything, you have to be certain that you can, in the first place. Purge fears and apprehensions from your head and constantly affirm or tell your subconscious that you can, and you will be able to channel your spirit self to the astral regions. Make a note of your beliefs make it easier and always remember that having faith can accomplish almost anything in life that you choose.
Meditation is a very important component which is critical for understanding astral travel. Through meditation one achieves increased self awareness with understanding about his true self and potential. It assists calming your mind, increasing awareness over one’s subconscious and assists in imagining and focusing all of his energy and attention to that vision which is very important in case of grasping astral projection.
Importantly you should note in mastering astral travel, the time in which you intend inducing it. Remember astral projection is closely related to when you are sleeping, this is specifically REM and the lucid dream stages. When sleeping you essentially go through four stages of sleep which is growing deeper in each one. When the fourth stage has concluded the cycle inverses until reaching the REM mode which is when you have Rapid eye Movement and your brain activity is at its most intense. This is actually when people dream a lot and is perfect for astral travel.
Successfully mastering astral projection involves creating the correct atmosphere. Small assistance elements would be to wear cozy clothing, vegetarian food prior to such exercises and abstinence from items such as coffee or other stimulants. Choose a place which is calm and quiet. A softly lit or candle lit ambience where there are not any electrical accessories to interfere should be enough.
Begin with small meditational procedures to relax yourself and gain control of your consciousness. Let your body rest while amplifying the focus of your mind. Visualize yourself flying out of your body or even climbing out of your body by using something to help you just in case you feel any resistance and thereafter channel all your attention and spirit on what you are imagining.
The hindrance factor in case of astral projection is the fear or anxiousness in the mind of the person regarding returning back to his or her physical body. Always bear in mind that believing something is possible is the most essential thing and even the insignificant doubt regarding such things will not let the travel from being successful.
Do not be frightened or you will not be successful. Even if you can manage to travel to a higher level and at that point get scared in journeying away from the body then your spiritual self would instantly be pulled back into your physical body.
You can surprisingly turn to technology. Using Binaural Beats is actually two slightly different soundwaves played through each ear for synchronization in the brain creates the mental condition which is needed for you to be able to astral project.
The art of successful astral projecting can be said to be a highly rewarding way to understand the full potential of yourself beyond what you currently know as reality.
Astral projection is an ability which each and every person in the world is born with. Astral projecting is real; the difference between people who are able to astral project any time that they want and those who have difficulty with the technique is practice.
Astral projection is a practice with a long history, just like meditation or yoga. There are many different names which astral projection is known as and there are many different ways to astral project.
One of these methods is lucid dreaming. You are probably already aware of what lucid dreaming is. This is when you are able to be conscious within your dream and take control of the experience. All it takes is being able to say ‘I am dreaming’ to yourself while in a dream.
Lucid dreaming lets you take control of what happens in your dreams; but it can take a while to be able to do this on a regular basis.This means that it is not an ideal way to astral project, at least for those who are new to the practice.
You have astral projected before, perhaps many times. You may not have been aware that this is what you were doing.
Have you ever awoken from a particularly vivid dream remembering every detail? You were not dreaming this you were astral projecting.
The key to projecting is to believe that you can do it. This belief will help to eliminate doubts about astral projection and can propel you into becoming a pro.
Meditation and other relaxation techniques can help you start getting ready to astral project. Meditation is probably the best way to begin; look for a meditation technique which allows you to achieve the total relaxation needed to astral project.
One good way to start your meditation (and astral projecting) is to sit in a comfortable chair in a quiet room where you will not be interrupted or distracted.
You need to clear all thoughts from your mind and focus on your breathing. Breathe slowly and deeply. Feel your tension and worry leaving your body with each exhalation. Before long, you’ll be nearing the deeply relaxed state necessary to astral project.
Your focus should remain on your breathing. Breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth.
The breaths that you are taking should be deep, coming in through the nose and going out of the mouth. As your breathing is slowing and deepening you need to focus on your relaxing on your body.
Work your way up towards your head, beginning from the toes and relaxing every part of your body one by one as you go. There are two techniques which work very well here. The first is to visualize each part of your body relaxing as you move upwards, telling yourself as you go that each part is relaxing.
At this point, you will start to feel heavy almost as if energy is leaving your body. As you get to this point, and you are completely relaxed, you will know that it is time to move on to the next step of astral projection.
Although you’re so relaxed by this point that it would be very easy to go to sleep, you need to stay alert. One good way to do this is to recite a sort of mantra to repeat to yourself. Anything will do you can even just say ‘walk the dog, walk the dog’.
The mind tends to get bored when it is not doing anything, which can mean that it will drift and find something else to focus on. You don’t want that to happen. If the mind wanders then you need to quit the session. To help bring the mind back repeat your phrase.
You have to achieve an altered state of consciousness in order to astral project. You can reach this state by continuing to repeat your phrase to yourself. Another method preferred by many to astral project is the ‘body of light’ method, where you visualize your body transforming into one made of light.
You can count on experiencing three main feelings that will let you know that you have reached astral projection, the first is the sensation that you are moving. The second is when you see lights and colors with closed eyes.
Finally, you will hear voices which will either tell you to stop or encourage you to continue. Once you hear these voices, you’ll know that you have begun to astral project.
Everyone is born with the ability to perform astral projection. The only difference between people who do it often and the ones who do not is practice.
Astral projecting is an ancient practice that should be treated with the respect that it deserves, much like meditation or yoga. There are a variety of types and names that it is known by. There are also different ways to astral project.
Lucid dreaming is the first level of astral projection. This form of dreaming is when you consciously dream and one type is astral projection. Many say this is a simple form of projection and that while you are dreaming, you begin by telling yourself ‘I am dreaming’
Doing this lets you take the reins in your dreams but it takes a while to master this, making it not the best way for beginners to astral project.
Even if you are unaware of having done so, you have astral projected before.
If you have ever woken up in the middle of the night and recalled a dream as if it was real, this is a form of astral projection.
The first step to astral projection is having the knowledge that you can do it. Affirm to yourself that you can do this; this will clear away all of the doubt which prevents you from being able to astral project.
Relaxation techniques such as meditation helps encourage proper astral projection. Meditation is a great way to prepare your body and mind for projecting and all you have to do is practice, practice, and practice more by meditating.
All you have to do is get relaxed in your favorite chair at a time when you will have no distractions. Clear your head of everything that is flowing through it.
Focus on your breathing, which should be slow and deep. As you exhale, visualize all of your worries leaving your mind along with your breath. You’ll soon be in a state of deep relaxation ideal for astral projection.
As you become closer and closer to the state where you can astral project, keep focusing on your breathing.
Breath in through the nose and out of the mouth which helps to slow and deepen breathing.
Work your way up from toes to head, relaxing each part of your body as you go. There are two ways that you can do this. You can visualize each part of your body relaxing as you go, telling yourself they are relaxing as you do so. You can also tense, then release each part of your body, feeling this tension leaving your body as you exhale.
You’ll begin to feel a bit heavy and limp as you release all of the tension and negative energy from your body. After your entire body is relaxed, it’s time to move on to the next step in your efforts to astral project.
By now your mind and body are ready for sleep, you need to stay alert. To do this many practitioners recommend that you come up with a line that you can repeat to yourself such as ‘I fly, I fly, I fly,’ you decide what you are going to say as there isn’t a right or wrong thing.
When our minds have nothing else to do, they tend to wander and this can spoil the concentration you need to astral project. Keep repeating your phrase to stay focused.
There are different ways to achieve a state of altered consciousness. You can repeat your chosen phrase or do it another way. Imagine a glowing light, and then imagine you entering it and transforming yourself into this body of light. This is referred to as the body of light technique.
There are three feelings you are going to experience that will help you know that your astral body is going. First you are going to feel as though you are moving, then you are going to ‘see’ lights and colors infront of your eyes (remember that your eyes are closed) this is simply the astral body moving into the astral world.
Last, it is said that you will hear voices that will tell you to stop or encourage you to keep going. This state lets you know that you have achieved astral projection.
Astral projection is something which everyone has at least some familiarity with. It’s something you may have seen or heard about in a book or in a movie.
What most people don’t know is that astral projection is something which is a real phenomenon and is an ability which anyone can use. You’ve probably astral projected at some point in your life without knowing it.
Lets start by understanding what astral projection actually is. Basically, astral projection is a persons ability to leave their body. Everyone has this ability, and we all do this at night when we are asleep.
When our bodies are at rest and our conscious minds largely disengaged, our subconscious remains active. You may not remember doing so, but you have almost certainly had some experience with astral projection.
Astral projection allows you to travel to any place you can imagine. You can visit the past, explore the future or go anywhere in the present that you focus your mind on. Your astral body knows no distance and can go anywhere and to anytime while your body is asleep.
Many people may not be aware of the fact that many enlightened individuals believe in the existence of multiple bodies. The physical being only one of these bodies and the astral being another. It may also be referred to as the ethereal body. The astral body is considered to be both invisible and a duplicate of the physical body.
It lacks substance, which has given rise to its name as an ethereal body. The question then becomes if the body lacks substance how can it be connected to the physical body. The answer is through a silver cord.
The silver cord is present your entire life. Until your astral body leaves your physical body at death, your astral body will always be tied to your physical one by this cord.
So where is it that your astral body travels to? Your astral body moves about in the astral plane, which is an ethereal duplicate of the universe familiar to you. There are different schools of thought about the nature of the astral plane, but there is general consensus that it is made up of many different layers.
Is astral travel dangerous? That all depends as long as you’re careful with your astral projection and travel with a destination in mind, then astral travel is indeed safe.
However, astral travel can be dangerous when you are under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Chemical substances can restrict your astral body to traveling on the lowest and most dangerous layers of the astral plane.
This is the reason it is imperative that you understand how to do this and where you want to project to. Your goal is to do astral projection using your conscious mind. You need to have total control over your astral body and what it is doing. Your total control comes from the thoughts you think.
There are a number of different methods of preparation depending on whom or what you consult.
Numerous professionals are in business to teach you the techniques of how to astral project while being in control so that you can achieve a better projection experience, but most people like to be at home when the astral project.
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 astral projection to help you get in the right mind set that is needed.
This type of recording will help you fully relax and will take you through the necessary stages. The advantage of a recording over a professional session is that you can play the recording multiple times until your subconscious receives the message that it is okay for the astral body to leave the physical body.
Sound technology can also be helpful. There is a technology known as binaural beats, which plays a variety of frequencies in each ear. These frequencies are slightly different and as a result relax the body quickly. This places the mind into a deep meditation making it easier to astral project.
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.
It is important to keep in mind that you are simply remembering a skill that you already possess and have used at some point in your past.
If you still don’t believe in astral projection, 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.
Astral projection is very real. Anyone can do it and find benefit in it. However, you do have to invest time in fine-tuning your natural ability in order to reach the kind of success you desire with astral projection. It will become easier to do once you begin your journey while projecting.
Everyone has some idea of what Out Of Body is, even if we don’t usually truly understand it. You’ve almost certainly seen it in a film or read about it somewhere. You’ve 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.
First, you need to understand that out of body is real. It is the ability of any individual to leave their body. We all have this ability, it happens as we lay sleeping during the night. While we sleep, our physical body is at rest, the subconscious mind then takes control. While this is going on an individual is astral projecting, although for the most part, they will not remember doing so.
When you do project you get to go wherever you want. As you remember when you were a child, you probably can recall doing this as you went to bed, as you grew up you have forgotten it though. You have limitless possibilities of places to go, there are no restrictions as far as distance or time where Out of Body is concerned. When you are sleeping your physical body is at sleep, while the astral body goes on a journey.
But what is your astral body? This is a duplicate of your physical body made of your subconscious will and desires. It is invisible to the eye and is tied to your body by a silver cord; so your astral body will always return after its travels.
The silver cord connects the two through your entire life; from the moment you first became aware of being alive until the moment you die. The connection is unbreakable as long as you still draw breath and your astral body will always return.
Where do people go during astral projecting? Your astral body goes to an ethereal, astral duplicate of the physical universe, another plane of reality. The exact nature of the astral plane is unknown, but experts agree that it is made up of different levels, each vibrating to a different frequency than the physical plane.
Even though your astral body will always return to you and you are at no danger of physical harm while astral projecting, you should exercise caution since there are some dangers in the astral plane. As long as you use common sense and basic caution though, you’ll be safe.
The greatest danger when astral projecting comes with the mind is not carefully prepared or under the influence of thought and perception, altering substances such as drugs or alcohol. There are a number of levels to the astral plane. The lower levels are not considered places to visit and are often considered to be unsafe. It is these levels that are easiest to access when under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
Exercise the same care you would in a place you don’t know in the physical universe. Just be aware of your surroundings and you’ll be fine. However, the aim of Out of Body isn’t just to stay safe it’s to practice the ability until you’re able to do it consciously and be in total control of your thoughts.
When engaging in out of body it is important to prepare properly. Once you know how to prepare, you will find that out of body is a quick and easy process. The method of preparation varies depending on the professional consulted. However, there are a number of, at home, training programs that provide individuals with the opportunity to learn how to control the experience and ultimately obtain both more enjoyment and benefit from astral projecting.
The web is an excellent source of information on out of body. You can find resources like out of body hypnosis recordings which can put you in the proper frame of mind to astral project. Since you can listen to these recordings over and over until your body is completely relaxed and your astral body receives the message to leave the physical world, these often work better than a session with a professional.
Something called binaural beats, a new audio recording technique have made it possible for many people to astral project. Two frequencies which are just slightly different are listened to, one in each year. The result is that your brainwaves tune to the proper frequency for astral projecting.
Don’t 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.
Are you still skeptical about out of body? Let’s talk about the times you’ve done it yourself then. Those dreams of flying which end with a sensation of falling right before you awake that we all have those are not dreams at all! These are out of body experiences. The feeling of flight is your astral body traveling and the feeling of falling is your astral body returning to the physical plane.
out of body is naturally very real. We can all do it and find it beneficial in many ways.
It does however; take time to fine-tune this natural ability.
Astral projection is something which everyone has at least some familiarity with. It’s something you may have seen or heard about in a book or in a movie.
What most people don’t know is that astral projection is something which is a real phenomenon and is an ability which anyone can use. You’ve probably astral projected at some point in your life without knowing it.
Lets look at astral projection and find out what it is. A very simple explanation of astral projection is the ability of an individual to actually leave their physical body.
Everybody has this ability and you actually do this when you sleep in the night.
While we sleep, our physical body is at rest, the subconscious mind then takes control. While this is going on an individual is astral projecting, although for the most part, they will not remember doing so.
A person goes wherever they want to when they astral project. If you were to try to remember your childhood, you might recall doing this at night when you went to sleep. As you grew older, you likely began to forget. Because there is no such thing as time or distance in astral projection, its possible to go just about anywhere. When you are asleep, only your physical body is asleep. Your astral body is able to travel.
You probably want to know what your astral body is it’s an invisible duplicate of your physical body which is made of our emotions and our desires. Your astral body will always return to your physical body the two are connected by a silver cord.
As the astral body first enters the physical body, the silver cord is connected. There is no depletion of this until after the time of death, when the astral body leaves the physical body for the very last time. This silver cord prevents the astral body from leaving and not coming back.
So where is it that your astral body travels to? Your astral body moves about in the astral plane, which is an ethereal duplicate of the universe familiar to you. There are different schools of thought about the nature of the astral plane, but there is general consensus that it is made up of many different layers.
You may also be wondering whether astral projection is dangerous in any way. The answer is both yes, and no. We have already established that anyone is capable of astral projection, and that there is no way the astral body can leave the physical body without returning. But, just like in any other activity, you need to keep your wits about you. What this means is that youll need to have strong mental skills to direct yourself toward where you want to go and what you want to accomplish.
It is when alcohol and drugs are involved that astral travel can become risky. These substances can limit your astral body to the lowest levels of the astral plane where it is more dangerous to travel.
This is why it is important that you know what you are doing and where it is you want to go. The goal is to astral project consciously. You should have complete control over what your astral body is doing. The control comes from your thoughts.
If you are well prepared ahead of time, you may find that you are able to astral project very quickly.
Many like to astral project while at home alone, but you can also attend group sessions which are guided by professionals. These sessions can help you learn to get the best results from your astral projection and can be a good way to get started. It may be helpful to practice on your own as well as with a professional’s guidance.
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 astral projection to help you get in the right mind set that is needed.
Recordings are some of the best ways to prepare because they all you more time than if you were preparing with the help of an in person professional. You can set the recording to play multiple times and take your time so that you are comfortable. This is especially helpful for individuals who have a hard time reaching a state of relaxation.
You can also make astral projection easier with a new breakthrough in sound technology called binaural beats. These are special recordings which play a slightly different frequency into each ear this quickly produces the mental state conducive to astral projection.
The first few times you try to astral project, you may not succeed. Don’t get discouraged.
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 are still unsure, that astral projection is something that is known to everyone consider these things. Have you ever felt like you were falling, even though you were standing or laying still, how about dreaming about flying. Often times this is the result of astral projection. The falling feeling usually comes when the two bodies rejoin each other and the sensation of flight comes from actually moving through the astral plane.
Astral projection is something which any one of us can do and it will become easier with practice.
Learning Astral Projection means mastering the art of separating your consciousness from your physical body and traveling from the latter towards a different reality. Ancient religious shamen were understood to be experts in this and were able to go beyond the physical confines of the cosmos by traveling to these higher astral dimensions.
Today we find both esoteric followers as well as countless other people, who are extremely interested in mastering projecting themselves into the higher subtle conscious worlds.
Though a bit weird, this is without question an experience of a lifetime since it entails leaving your physical body and looking at it from a distance.
Moreover you can travel as far away as you wish and look at the world from your spiritual body.
In becoming good at astral projection, the key thing is asserting to your subconscious mind that you will definitely be successful at it.
If your subconscious is not sure and you have even the slightest doubt, then astral travel will be extremely hard for you. Absolute faith achieves practically anything and thus the best procedure is to jot down some of your beliefs referring to life and reality and then write down and reiterate to yourself about the infinitely free, omnipotent nature of your soul, which can travel to alternative astral dimensions.
The third thing to note in becoming good at astral projection is the time in which you will induce it. Almost all astral projection that occurs is connected with sleep, particularly REM and lucid dreaming stages. When you go to sleep you have four stages of sleep growing deeper in each one. After the next stage the cycle reverses till it reaches the REM mode which includes Rapid eye Movement and extreme mind activity. This is the time when people have a lot of dreams and the best time to experience astral projection.
Now that you have actually prepared yourself psychologically for astral travel and recognize the perfect time for it, arrange for a dimly lit room where there’s calm and pace without any sort of interference from person or electrical tools. Your key goal must be to simulate REM rest. Attempt to visualize a cordage dangling in front of you and yourself going up out of your body.
A crucial thing to keep in mind in attempting astral projection is that if one has even the slightest of worries relating to whether you’ll have the ability to return to the body then you will not be able to leave anyway. Additionally, after you really leave your body and start to go forward bear in mind not to panic or be fearful while moving away more since then you will be instantly pulled back into your body once again.
You can use Binaural Beats in mastering astral projection if you decide to use technological means.
This includes hearing sound waves at different frequencies in each ear which synchronizes your own brainwaves, consequently generating a psychological condition that is highly conductive to astral projection. Whatever method you decide to use to prepare yourself before embarking on the quest of astral travel, it’s a voyage of a life time and an experience you will always remember.
The term ‘astral plane’ refers to an alternative dimension, a different realm of consciousness that is seperate from the physical body. Propagated by by some of the earliest known religions and other shamen and similar holy men, astral projection involves your consciousness to travel from your body to another astral plane.
Many people try really hard trying to master astral projection. This is because the incredible experience of leaving your own physical body to look at it from somewhere else is truly life-changing experience. Moreover, what is referred to as your subtle state of consciousness, your aura or your astral existence transcends the physical universe and your consciousness then moves to a higher plane travelling away from the body to wherever you desire, observing everything at a distance.
Hence, mastering astral projection is a very popular activity amidst followers of esoteric knowledge.
In grasping astral projection, you need to believe in yourself and make sure that you really believe that you can separate your aura, astral body or consciousness from your physical body making it move freely to celestial dimensions. The best way to do this is to make a note of all your thoughts on existence and reality, following record all of the good things that you want to see happening and affirm your mind regarding this.
A vitally important part in trying to master astral projection is to meditate. By meditating, you become more aware of your inner self. You will find that you are able to control your subconscious and focus all your attention and energy into your object of desire which results in you developing a heightened power of concentration which is imperative for mastering astral projection.
Another important factor of consideration in grasping astral projection refers to the time of the projection. In discussing this the concept of REM has to be analyzed. After four levels of sleep cycle each deeper and slower than those previously, the cycle of sleep goes into reverse. REM is short for Rapid Eye Movement stage when the brain is at its most active and dreams happen. It is this cycle of time which is the most efficient for astral projection.
As soon as you are mentally ready for astral travel, you need to lie down in a dimly lit or candle lit room and you should be wearing light clothes. Ensure that no electrical equipment should be turned on which may distact you and you really should not have too much food, especially meat or coffee. You should try to copy the REM sleep mode, this involves letting your body rest, but your body should remain awake.
Start with small meditational procedures for calming down your mind and to channelize your energies. Attempt to visualize a rope suspended ahead of you and yourself ascending out of your body. Go into a deep unconsciousness like state and focus all of your energy on this perception.
Something really important you should remember when ungergoing astral projection is that if you are nervous regarding actually coming back to your body then you will stay stuck in your body.
When leaving your body and progress forward remember not to feel any panic or be fearful while travelling since this will result in you returning to your body.
New technology like that of binaural beats can be used to help in creating the mental state that is efficient to astral projection. Binaural Beats involve hearing two different sound vibrations through both ears at the same time which binds with one another and synchronized in the brain which establishes the necessary mental state.
The art of successful astral projecting can be said to be an extremely rewarding way to completely grasp what your potential really is beyond what you currently know as reality.
Every person in the world man, woman and child is born with the ability to astral project.
This is a very real ability and practice is the only difference between those who rarely astral project or do so with difficulty and those who can astral project at will.
It is an ancient art and has been practiced for centuries deserving the same respect as yoga or meditation. Astral projection is known by different names and types. There are many different techniques to achieve astral projection.
Lucid dreaming is the first level of astral projection. This form of dreaming is when you consciously dream and one type is astral projection. Many say this is a simple form of projection and that while you are dreaming, you begin by telling yourself ‘I am dreaming’
As you repeat this phrase, you can wake up in your dream and have the freedom to do anything you like. This may be difficult for beginners and may take time to practice before it works.
Even if you are unaware of having done so, you have astral projected before.
Have you ever remembered a dream vividly upon awakening? The memory is so vivid that it feels as though you actually experienced it. This indicates you had an astral projection.
The first step to astral projection is having the knowledge that you can do it. Affirm to yourself that you can do this; this will clear away all of the doubt which prevents you from being able to astral project.
By practicing relaxation techniques including meditation, you can prepare yourself to astral project. Meditation is perhaps the most effective technique to prepare yourself to astral project. The important thing is finding a meditation technique which allows you to become completely relaxed.
Sitting in a quiet, distraction free room in a comfortable chair is the best way to begin meditating with the goal of astral projection.
You need to clear all thoughts from your mind and focus on your breathing. Breathe slowly and deeply. Feel your tension and worry leaving your body with each exhalation. Before long, you’ll be nearing the deeply relaxed state necessary to astral project.
Your focus should remain on your breathing. Breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth.
The breaths you take should come from deep down inside. As your breathing slows down, focus more and more on relaxing your body.
Starting from your toes and working your way up, relax each part of your body. There are two ways you can do this. One is to tense, then relax each part of your body as you move upwards, the other is to visualize the tension leaving each part of your body as you exhale.
You’ll start to feel heavy as you become relaxed. After you have relaxed your entire body, you’ll be able to begin the next step towards astral projecting.
The next step, sleep. You have prepared your mind and body for s deep sleep, but remember to stay alert and relaxed. Come up with your own phrase such as ‘I fly, I fly’ there is no wrong motto, so find one that you are comfortable with.
Boredom tends to set in when the mind is not stimulated, so you may find yourself losing focus. If you find yourself doing this, stop the session or to help bring your mind back into focus, continue to repeat your phrase.
There are different ways to achieve a state of altered consciousness. You can repeat your chosen phrase or do it another way. Imagine a glowing light, and then imagine you entering it and transforming yourself into this body of light. This is referred to as the body of light technique.
As you start to astral project, there are three signs which you can watch for to know that you are doing so successfully. The first is a sensation of motion, even though your physical body is perfectly still. The second is ‘seeing’ color and light, even though your eyes will be closed.
Finally, you will hear voices that are going to be telling you to either stop what you are doing or encouraging you to continue. When you get to that third part you have successfully astral projected.
Astral projection is something which everyone has at least some familiarity with. It’s something you may have seen or heard about in a book or in a movie.
Relatively few people, though, comprehend that astral projection 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.
There are a few ways that you can tell if you have already had an astral experience and more than a few ways to learn how to astral project however to look into either of these it is important to understand exactly what astral projection is. It is a natural reflex of the body, and occurs at night when you are sleeping.
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.
When astral projecting, you can visit any place in the past, present or future. All you have to do is to focus on it and you can go there. Your astral body is not limited by physical proximity and when your body sleeps, it is free to travel.
The next obvious question is, ‘What is the astral body?’ The astral body is an invisible duplicate of your body, also known as an ethereal body. This body is the heart of our emotions and desires. So, why doesnt the astral body stray and not return? It turns out that the astral body is actually connected to the physical body through 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.
Where is it that your astral body goes in its travels? Your astral body goes to the astral plane, a non-physical duplicate of the physical universe. The astral plane is thought to operate at a different frequency than our own, some saying that it is an alternate universe. Most agree that the astral plane is not a single monolithic place, however.
It is normal at this stage to ask if it is safe to do astral projection or is it dangerous. The answer yes it is safe but there can also be dangers. We have already stated that everyone is capable of doing astral projection. We have also explained that the astral body cannot leave the physical body without returning to it. As with all things in your life you need to keep your wits about you while doing this. This means you need to have strong cognitive abilities so that you can think clearly about where you desire to go and do while doing astral projection.
The danger in astral projection is when your mind is unsound.
If you are under the influence of a controlled substance like drugs or alcohol, you could wind up in bad places. These places represent the lower levels of the astral plane.
It is vital that you understand where you desire going and exactly what you are participating in. You need to strive on doing astral projection using your conscious mind. Stay in total control as far as what task that the astral body is performing. Your thoughts and thinking processes are what keeps you in this kind of control.
If you take the time to get properly prepared ahead of time, you might find that you are able to astral project quite quickly.
There are many professional in the field of astral projection who teach a variety of methods for helping people gain this control to have a better experience, though many people prefer to astral project from the comfort and privacy of home.
You can find various other resources such as books online. For instance, you can create the right state of mind by listening to quality astral projection hypnosis recordings.
This will help you completely relax as well as take you through the various stages. An advantage of this over a professional session is that you can play the recording multiple times until your subconscious mind begins to accept that it is perfectly fine for your astral body to leave your physical body.
The use of sound technology can also be helpful in being able to reach a level of relaxation that is conductive to being able to engage in astral projection.
One such technology is known as binaural beats. This technology works by alternating sound between both ears and using a variety of frequencies. This method is designed to place the body into a state of deep meditative relaxation, which is the best for astral projection.
You should not become frustrated when you are not successful at astral projection when you first begin. You must practice the art to perfect it.
It is important to keep in mind that you are simply remembering a skill that you already possess and have used at some point in your past.
Things to look for are the feelings of flight or falling. Falling usually indicates the return of the astral form to the physical and flying is usually indicative of actually engaging in astral projection.
Astral projection can be learned and if you practice regularly, you’ll master this ability sooner than you may think.
At one time or another most people have heard about doing astral projection. Maybe they have a friend that practices it, or watched some movie about it, or even read a book on the subject.
However, it seems very few know that astral projection is a genuine occurrence. It is something that we can all naturally do. You may have even projected and never realize that you did so. Many people do.
So just what is astral projection? Astral projection is leaving your body and traveling outside of yourself. This commonly happens while we are asleep.
While we sleep, our physical body is at rest, the subconscious mind then takes control. While this is going on an individual is astral projecting, although for the most part, they will not remember doing so.
A person goes wherever they want to when they astral project. If you were to try to remember your childhood, you might recall doing this at night when you went to sleep. As you grew older, you likely began to forget. Because there is no such thing as time or distance in astral projection, its possible to go just about anywhere. When you are asleep, only your physical body is asleep. Your astral body is able to travel.
You may be asking at this point what is meant by th astral body? The meaning of the term astral body is the body’s invisible duplicate, also called the ethereal body. It is where all of our wishes and feelings are stored in our body. I bet you are wondering how the astral body can leave and then also return to the physical body? There is this silver cord that connects the physical body with the astral body.
This silver cord was attached at the moment that the astral body entered the physical body, and cannot be cut until the astral body departs from the physical body for a final time in death.
This silver cord is what keeps the astral body from straying away.
Another question that many have is where do you go when you astral project? The astral body goes to the astral plane, which is the ‘body double’ of the Earth. This vibrates faster then the physical Earth and those vibrations penetrate to the Earth’s core. Others define the astral plane as another dimension of reality. Most will agree though that there is more then one level to 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 astral projection 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.
Astral projecting while in a chemically induced altered state can be dangerous; your astral body will be affected and travel the lower levels of the astral plane, which are more hazardous.
The key to astral projection involves knowing what it is you are doing and where you want to go while doing it. You must have complete control of what your astral body may be doing, since your thoughts control your projection experiences.
If you take the time to get properly prepared ahead of time, you might find that you are able to astral project quite quickly.
You might find it useful to go to some group sessions which are conducted by professionals who can help you prepare for a successful astral projection and give you the help you need to make the most of the experience of astral travel. You may want to try both and see which works the best for you.
There are also many books and resources available in print and on the internet. For example, you might try listening to a quality astral projection hypnosis recording to enter the right state of mind.
There is an advantage to these types of recordings. You can have them play on repeat giving people who may find it difficult to prepare the time necessary to reach the appropriate state of mind; this extra time might not be available if professional sessions are used.
Sound technology can also be helpful. There is a technology known as binaural beats, which plays a variety of frequencies in each ear. These frequencies are slightly different and as a result relax the body quickly. This places the mind into a deep meditation making it easier to astral project.
Don’t get frustrated if you are not able to successfully astral project the first time or even the second or third time. This is something that you must practice.
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 astral projection, 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.
Astral projection 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.
The ability to astral project is an innate ability that each and every person is born with. The difference between those that astral project on a regular basis and those that do not know they are doing it is simply practice.
Astral projection is a technique which has a very long history, just as do yoga and meditation. Astral projection goes by a lot of different names; and there are a lot of different ways you can astral project.
Lucid dreaming is one type of astral projecting. Lucid dreaming is of course when we are conscious of our dreaming this is actually astral projecting. In order to lucid dream, all you need to do is to tell yourself ‘I am dreaming’ while in the dream.
As you repeat this phrase, you can wake up in your dream and have the freedom to do anything you like. This may be difficult for beginners and may take time to practice before it works.
You have already astral projected, even if you are not specifically aware of it.
Have you ever woken up from a dream either in the middle of the night or in the morning and remembered a ‘dream’ that you had the night before really well. As if you had lived it. That was an astral projection.
The key to projecting is to believe that you can do it. This belief will help to eliminate doubts about astral projection and can propel you into becoming a pro.
Meditating and practicing relaxation techniques will also help you astral project. Meditating is actually an ideal way to prepare your mind and body for astral projection. All you have to do is find a meditative practice that you can follow easily and that you will be able to stick with.
Choose a room where you will not be distracted, have a comfortable place to sit and where you will be able to have peace and quiet.
Begin to eliminate all thoughts from your mind and focus on your breathing. You want to take deep, slow breaths in thorough your nose, out through your mouth. If you can remain focused on your breathing, you’ll begin to feel yourself relaxing.
Now is the point where you need to reach an altered state of consciousness. You need to focus not only on your breathing but the way you are breathing.
Focus on breathing in through the nose and letting the airflow out through your mouth. You are breathing slower and deeper and getting more relaxed, now focus on relaxing your body.
Starting from your toes, work upwards, relaxing every part of your body as you proceed. You can do this by either tensing then relaxing each part of your body or by moving up, visualizing each part of you relaxing as you go.
As the tension and negative energies leave your body, you’ll start to feel heavy and deeply relaxed. Once you have finished relaxing your body, you’re ready to move on to the next step.
Although you’re so relaxed by this point that it would be very easy to go to sleep, you need to stay alert. One good way to do this is to recite a sort of mantra to repeat to yourself. Anything will do you can even just say ‘walk the dog, walk the dog’.
The mind tends to get bored when it is not doing anything, which can mean that it will drift and find something else to focus on. You don’t want that to happen. If the mind wanders then you need to quit the session. To help bring the mind back repeat your phrase.
There are a few different ways you can reach the kind of altered state required for astral projection. You can keep repeating your phrase until you reach it, or use the ‘body of light’ method, where you visualize yourself transforming into a body made of light.
As you start to astral project, there are three signs which you can watch for to know that you are doing so successfully. The first is a sensation of motion, even though your physical body is perfectly still. The second is ‘seeing’ color and light, even though your eyes will be closed.
Finally, you’ll hear voices urging you either to continue or to stop what you are doing this is a surefire sign that you have managed to astral project.
Have you ever considered moving out from your body then viewed yourself from outside? The probability is that you woke up then, thinking the dream to be strange. But it may even have been the beginning of an astral projection throughout your sleep in which you left your physical body and traveled to a greater astral plane or a different dimension of awareness.
Today we find both esoteric followers as well as numerous other people, who are really interested in learning about projecting themselves into the higher subtle conscious worlds.
Though a bit weird, this is actually an experience of a life time since it involves leaving your actual body and looking at it from a distance. Additionally you are able to travel as far away as you prefer and view the whole world from your spiritual body.
In learning astral projection, the main thing is affirming to your subconscious mind that you will definitely be successful at it. If your subconscious is unsure and you have even the tiniest doubt, then astral travel will definitely be extremely difficult for you. Absolute faith attains practically anything and for this reason the most reliable procedure is to take a note of a couple of your beliefs referring to life and the truth of our existence then write down and restate to yourself about the infinitely free, omnipotent nature of your spirit, which can travel to different astral dimensions.
Thirdly, mastering astral projection consists of the remarkably crucial element of time. The right time in which to lead to such a projection is throughout REM rest. People slumber in four stages with each stage becoming deeper than the previous one. After the last stage of really deep rest, the cycle alters till it pertains to the phase of the REM or fast eye motion phase where the mind task is at its max. This is the time which is the most helpful for exceling in astral projection.
Now that you have actually prepared yourself psychologically for astral travel and understand the ideal time for it, organize for a dimly lit space where there’s calm and speed without any disturbance from person or electrical devices. If possible abstain from an excessive amount of food and products like caffeine and after that rest slowly donning light comfy clothes. Your key target should be to mirror REM rest. Start with little meditational methods for calming down your mind and to channelize your energies.
Attempt to imagine a cordage dangling in front of you and yourself climbing from your body. Go into a deep trance like state and concentrate all your energy on this visualization.
A crucial thing to keep in mind in mastering astral projection is that if one has also the least of apprehensions referring to whether you’ll be able to revisit the body then you will definitely not have the ability to leave anyway. In addition, after you in fact leave your body and start to go forward remember not to panic or be fearful while moving away a lot more because then you will definitely be suddenly drawn back into your body once again.
You can even utilize modern technology in mastering astral projection, making use of Binaural Beats, which are different frequency soundwaves played through each ear to synchronize brainwaves. This produces the psychological condition required for astral projection.
Becoming good at astral projection could be said to be the most fulfilling way to genuinely know the complete capacity of yourself beyond the illusionary physical universe.
Out of Body is something which most of us have some familiarity with, at least as far as we’ve heard the term mentioned somewhere. You may know of it from a film, book or from someone you know.
However, there are only a small number of people that understand that out of body is both real and something that anyone and everyone can do. In fact, many people have actually experienced at least one out of body in their lives and while some may be aware of this experience, many people are not.
Let’s start by understanding what Out Of Body actually is. Basically, Out Of Body is a person’s ability to leave their body. Everyone has this ability, and we all do this at night when we are asleep. During sleep, the physical mind rests but the subconscious mind remains active and takes over.
This is when a person astral projects, though most people have no memory of doing this.
You go wherever you want to go when you project. If you can recall your childhood you may be able to remember having the ability to do this after going to sleep, eventually you forgot, as you got older. There is no such thing as time and distance when it concerns Out of Body, you can go anywhere. While you are sleeping, your physical body is asleep. Your astral body travels.
You may be asking at this point what is meant by the astral body? The meaning of the term astral body is the body’s invisible duplicate, also called the ethereal body. It is where all of our wishes and feelings are stored in our body. I bet you are wondering how the astral body can leave and then also return to the physical body? There is this silver cord that connects the physical body with the astral body.
This cord keeps your two beings connected from the moment you’re born until your last breath. As long as you live, your astral body will always come back to your physical form after its travels.
Where is it exactly that we go when astral projecting? You visit the astral plane which is to the physical universe as your astral body is to your physical body. There is no universal agreement among the experts about exactly how the astral plane is structured but most agree that the astral plane is an alternate reality which vibrates at a different rate than our own, just slightly out of sync with the universe we inhabit physically and that there are many different levels to the astral plane..
Naturally, the question of danger astral projecting comes to mind. The answer is both yes and no. We all have the ability to astral project. We know that the astral body can leave the physical body it will return. However, we must be sensible as with all things. out of body requires a good solid thinking skills and understanding what it is you want and where you would like to go.
When you’re intoxicated, Out Of Body can be hazardous. Psychological damage can be caused by Out Of Body while you’re not in control of yourself. When you don’t have all your wits about you, you can only travel the lowest (and most dangerous) levels of the astral plane.
Just as if you were out exploring somewhere unfamiliar in the physical world, you need to pay attention to your surroundings and have a destination in mind.
However, the real goal of practicing out of body is to train yourself to exercise this ability consciously. When you can get your mind in full control of itself, you’ll be able to do this.
There are a number of different methods of preparation depending on whom or what you consult. Professionals all have different ways of preparing, that can provide you with the necessary information to be able to prepare and enjoy the benefit of learning how to control the experience and benefit from Out of Body. Many people however prefer to practise Out of Body in their own home.
There are also plenty of resources both online and in books which can help you to prepare yourself. Out of Body hypnosis recordings are an aid which many find helps them to relax and begin projecting.
These recordings can be played on repeat until they reach your subconscious and you begin to astral project.
A new audio technology called binaural beats can also help you to begin astral projecting quickly. These are slightly different frequencies which are played into each ear. These frequencies relax you and allow you to easily attain the mental state needed for Out of Body.
The first few times you try to astral project, you may not succeed. Don’t get discouraged. Out of Body can take some practice before you get good at it and with time, you will develop this natural 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 a very real ability which you already have. If you devote a little time and effort to practice it, your reward will be being able to enjoy this experience any time you like.
At one time or another most people have heard about doing astral projection. Maybe they have a friend that practices it, or watched some movie about it, or even read a book on the subject.
However, it seems very few know that astral projection is a genuine occurrence. It is something that we can all naturally do. You may have even projected and never realize that you did so. Many people do.
We need to first look at the definition for astral projection. To state this in very simple terms, astral projection’s definition is a human being able to move out of their physical body. All humans have this ability, in fact they actually do it when they are sleeping in the night.
Astral projection happens most often while we are asleep. When our physical body and conscious minds inactive, the subconscious can take control and this is the part of our mind that controls our psychic abilities.
Through astral projection, a person is able to go wherever they want. If you try to remember your childhood, you will likely remember being able to do this at night when you went to bed. As you got older, you began to forget. It is possible to travel anywhere, since you are not bound by time or distance in astral projection. When you are asleep, only the physical body sleeps. It is your astral body that is able to travel.
Many people may not be aware of the fact that many enlightened individuals believe in the existence of multiple bodies. The physical being only one of these bodies and the astral being another. It may also be referred to as the ethereal body. The astral body is considered to be both invisible and a duplicate of the physical body. It lacks substance, which has given rise to its name as an ethereal body. The question then becomes if the body lacks substance how can it be connected to the physical body. The answer is through a silver cord.
This silver cord was attached at the moment that the astral body entered the physical body, and cannot be cut until the astral body departs from the physical body for a final time in death. This silver cord is what keeps the astral body from straying away.
Another thing that people wonder is where they go when they do astral projection? Your astral body travels to what is called the astral plane, which happens to be an invisible copy of the Earth. This actually has faster vibrations than the physical world does and these vibrations do penetrate the core of the Earth. Some believe though that the astral plane is reality in a different dimension. Many of the people will agree to the belief that there are several levels to an astral plane.
Is astral travel dangerous? That all depends as long as you’re careful with your astral projection and travel with a destination in mind, then astral travel is indeed safe.
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.
You should limit your astral projection to when you are able to be in a proper state of mind and only after you determine where your astral travels will take you. You want to be in total control of your astral body.
There are a number of different methods of preparation depending on whom or what you consult.
You might find it useful to go to some group sessions which are conducted by professionals who can help you prepare for a successful astral projection and give you the help you need to make the most of the experience of astral travel. You may want to try both and see which works the best for you.
There are also many books and resources available in print and on the internet. For example, you might try listening to a quality astral projection hypnosis recording to enter the right state of mind.
This helps you get totally relaxed along with taking you through that various levels. This is often the preferred method over a professional approach, because you can replay the recording as much as you need to get your subconscious mind to get the message about when it is alright to begin to astral project and leave your physical body.
There have been many recent advances in an audio technology called ‘binaural beats’. This technology works by slight variances in sound frequencies played in each ear. The effect of this is a quick and complete relaxation that fosters a deep meditative state. This meditative state is necessary if you want to successfully astral project.
If you are unable to astral project at first, do not be concerned. It is something that requires practice to be able to do.
It is not something you must acquire, since we are all capable of doing it. However, you need to fine-tune your natural ability since you have forgotten it.
Do you still not totally believe this is for real? Well have you ever had dreams that you were flying or had the sensation of falling? The flying was your astral body actually traveling through the various astral planes. The sensation of falling is the astral body coming back to the physical body after it traveling around.
Astral projection can be learned and if you practice regularly, you’ll master this ability sooner than you may think.
Every person in the world man, woman and child is born with the ability to astral project. This is a very real ability and practice is the only difference between those who rarely astral project or do so with difficulty and those who can astral project at will.
The practice of astral projection has a very long history, just like meditation and yoga. There are many different names by which astral projection is known and many ways that you can astral project.
One of these methods is lucid dreaming. You are probably already aware of what lucid dreaming is. This is when you are able to be conscious within your dream and take control of the experience. All it takes is being able to say ‘I am dreaming’ to yourself while in a dream.
However, it can take some time to become skilled in the technique of lucid dreaming, making this perhaps not the best way for beginners to astral projecting to use in their efforts to astral project.
You need to believe that astral projection does work and is a reality. You have already experienced it but you do not realize it.
Have you ever awoken from a particularly vivid dream remembering every detail? You were not dreaming this you were astral projecting.
Being able to astral project all begins with knowing that this is something that you have the ability to do. Astral projecting is an inborn ability in all of us. You need to eliminate doubt from your mind; this can be keeping you from being able to astral project when you want.
Learning to relax and meditation is another helpful tool when learning to astral project. Your mind and body needs to be prepared to achieve astral projection. Meditation is a great preparation for the experience. Find a meditation you like and practice it.
You should do your meditation in a quiet room where you have a comfortable place to sit and will not be interrupted or distracted. Start freeing your mind of worry and tension. You can’t astral project when you have these negative energies in your mind.
If negative thoughts continue to work there way back into your head, just continue to push them out. Breathing deeply is the next step, focus on slow, deep breaths. This practice will help you reach ultimate relaxation and help you to transition into astral projection.
You then have to be reach an altered state of consciousness. You can simply continue to work on your breathing, your focus now is not going to be to get rid of the stresses, it is to truly focus on the way you are breathing, your head is clear.
Breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth, breathing deeper and slower as you become more relaxed. Concentrate on relaxing your body even more.
Begin with your toes and move on up your body telling each part to relax. When you breathe out, tell each part of your body to relax. You can also tense the muscles up first and then relax them, whichever works best for you.
You’ll begin to feel a bit heavy and limp as you release all of the tension and negative energy from your body. After your entire body is relaxed, it’s time to move on to the next step in your efforts to astral project.
The next step, sleep. You have prepared your mind and body for s deep sleep, but remember to stay alert and relaxed. Come up with your own phrase such as ‘I fly, I fly’ there is no wrong motto, so find one that you are comfortable with.
An inactive mind gets bored easily; you may find yourself drifting into some random thoughts. Do not allow this to happen. If this does happen then you will need to start over. You need to keep repeating the phrase you select to keep your mind from wandering.
Now, there are a couple of methods that can be employed to reach altered consciousness. You can use your repetitive statement to reach the altered state of consciousness. You can also use the body of light method, which is where you envision a body of light that you are going to see yourself transform into.
There are three things which you should look out for which will let you know that you have managed to astral project. First, you’ll feel as if you are moving – this is your astral body starting to depart on your journey. Next, you’ll see light and colors even though you’ll have your eyes closed.
Finally, you’ll hear voices urging you either to continue or to stop what you are doing this is a surefire sign that you have managed to astral project.
In general, a majority of people have heard of the term ‘astral projection’. Perhaps they were introduced to the concept through an enlightened friend, or may have seen a movie or read a book on the topic.
However, there are only a small number of people that understand that astral projection is both real and something that anyone and everyone can do. In fact, many people have actually experienced at least one astral projection in their lives and while some may be aware of this experience, many people are not.
So just what is astral projection? Astral projection is leaving your body and traveling outside of yourself. This commonly happens while we are asleep.
When anyone is asleep the physical body and mind are resting and the subconscious part of the brain assumes control. Most humans simply have no recollection of this.
Astral projection allows you to travel to any place you can imagine. You can visit the past, explore the future or go anywhere in the present that you focus your mind on. Your astral body knows no distance and can go anywhere and to anytime while your body is asleep.
You might be wondering just what your astral body is. Your astral body is a non-physical double of your physical body which is made up of your unconscious will and desires. It’s not visible to the eye, but is no less real for that.
It is tied to your physical body by a silver cord to ensure that it can always find its way back to your body no matter how far away it may travel.
This connection is there from your birth until your death. The silver cord keeps your astral and physical bodies inextricably linked for your entire life.
You may wonder where you may go when you astral project. The astral body goes to the astral plane. It is the invisible double of the Earth. It has a faster vibration than the physical Earth and its vibrations penetrate to the center of the Earth. Some define it as another dimension of reality. However, the majority agree that there are many levels of the astral plane.
It is natural at this point to wonder whether or not astral projection is dangerous in any way. The answer is both yes and no. We have already established that the astral body cannot permanently leave the physical body, and that everyone is capable of astral projection. But, just like anything you do, you need to be able to think effectively. Solid thinking skills are required so that you can go where you want and know what you plan to accomplish.
Astral projecting while in a chemically induced altered state can be dangerous; your astral body will be affected and travel the lower levels of the astral plane, which are more hazardous.
Mental preparation is key when astral projecting this is true whether you are just learning, fine-tuning your experiences or if you are an expert. Once you have, the process of preparation down it is easy to reach the space of astral projection and to control this process.
When you prepare yourself properly, beforehand you can train yourself to astral project very quickly.
Professionals all have different ways of preparing, that can provide you with the necessary information to be able to prepare and enjoy the benefit of learning how to control the experience and benefit from astral projection. Many people however prefer to practise astral projection in their own home.
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 astral projection to help you get in the right mind set that is needed.
There is an advantage to these types of recordings. You can have them play on repeat giving people who may find it difficult to prepare the time necessary to reach the appropriate state of mind; this extra time might not be available if professional sessions are used.
There have been many recent advances in an audio technology called ‘binaural beats’. This technology works by slight variances in sound frequencies played in each ear.
The effect of this is a quick and complete relaxation that fosters a deep meditative state. This meditative state is necessary if you want to successfully astral project.
Do not be discouraged if you are unable to astral project in the beginning.
Remember that you have the ability already, all of us have the ability to do astral projection, we have just over time forgotten the method and just need to tune our own natural ability to do it.
If you are still unsure, that astral projection is something that is known to everyone consider these things. Have you ever felt like you were falling, even though you were standing or laying still, how about dreaming about flying. Often times this is the result of astral projection. The falling feeling usually comes when the two bodies rejoin each other and the sensation of flight comes from actually moving through the astral plane.
Astral projection is a real ability that everyone has, everyone can use and all it needs is a bit of fine-tuning in order to be able to do it at will.
Have you ever dreamt of floating out from your body and then viewed yourself from outside? Chances are that you woke up just about then, explaining it away to yourself as just a strange dream. But it may also have been the opening sequence of an astral travel experience when you were asleep in which your spirit left your body and traveled to higher astral planes or a different world of consciousness.
It is usual for people to make a huge effort to succeed with astral projection. It is worth it because the amazing act of leaving your own physical body to view it from a distance is an experience of a lifetime. Moreover, your subtle state of consciousness, your aura or your spiritual self transcends what we think of as being reality and your consciousness then moves to a higher plane which is moving away from the body to wherever you desire, observing the world at a distance.
Hence, mastering astral projection is a very popular activity amidst followers of esoteric knowledge.
A very important and essential aspect of mastering astral travel requires mental affirmations.
Remember that to enable you to accomplish anything, you need to believe that it can be done. Remove fears and apprehensions from your head and constantly affirm or tell your subconscious that you will be able to do it, and you will be able to transport your spirit self to the astral regions. Write down your feelings to assist you and remember that a total belief in yourself can accomplish almost anything in life that you choose.
A vitally important part in trying to master astral projection is starting meditation techniques. With the process of meditation, you become more aware of your inner self. You will be able to control your subconscious mind and channel all your energy and attention into your object of desire thereby developing a heightened power of concentration which is required for mastering astral projection.
Something else which is important in grasping astral projection refers to the time of the projection. When talking about this the image of REM has to be explained. After four levels of sleep cycle each more profound and slower than those previously, the cycle of sleep reverses. REM is short for Rapid Eye Movement phase when the brain is at its most active and dreams occur. It is this cycle of time which is the most efficient for astral travel.
As soon as you are mentally ready for astral projecting, lie down in a dimly lit or candle lit room and you should be wearing light clothes. Make sure there is no electrical equipment should be switched on to distract you and you really should not have too much food, especially meat or coffee. You should try to copy the REM sleep mode, this means let your body rest, but keep your mind awake and focused.
You should start with tiny meditational techniques for relaxing your mind and to channelize your energies. Attempt to visualize a rope suspended in front of you and yourself rising out of your body. Go into a profound trance like state and focus all your energies on this perception.
What can prevent astral travel is the fear or anxiousness in the mind of the person concerning coming back to his physical body.
Always recall that believing something is possible is the most essential thing and even the insignificant reluctance regarding such things will not let the travel from being a success.
After you actually leave your body and progress forward it is vital not to panic or be fearful while moving since your spirit will then automatically return to your body.
New technology like that of binaural beats can be adopted in creating the mental state that is suitable to astral travel. Binaural Beats involve hearing two different sound vibrations through both ears which fuses into one another and synchronized in the mind which establish the correct psychic state.
Whatever method you decided to use to get yourself prepared and then embarking on the journey of astral travel, it’s a journey of a lifetime and a trip you will remember forever.
At one time or another most people have heard about doing out of body. Maybe they have a friend that practices it, or watched some movie about it, or even read a book on the subject.
Even though you may have some vague concept of it, you probably didn’t know that it’s something that you and everyone else in the world can do and have done before, even if you didn’t know it.
We need to first look at the definition for out of body. To state this in very simple terms, out of body’s definition is a human being able to move out of their physical body. All humans have this ability, in fact they actually do it when they are sleeping in the night. When anyone is asleep the physical body and mind are resting and the subconscious part of the brain assumes control. Most humans simply have no recollection of this.
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.
So what is the astral body? This is an invisible duplicate of your physical body with no actual substance. Your astral body represents your subconscious will and desire. So why does your astral body always return to the physical realm? It returns because your physical and astral bodies are permanently connected by something commonly known as the silver cord.
The silver cord is attached from the moment that the astral body and the physical body connect. It only detaches at the moment of death when the astral and physical body permanently disconnect from each other. It is this cord that recalls the astral body to the physical body.
Where is it exactly that we go when astral projecting? You visit the astral plane which is to the physical universe as your astral body is to your physical body. There is no universal agreement among the experts about exactly how the astral plane is structured but most agree that the astral plane is an alternate reality which vibrates at a different rate than our own, just slightly out of sync with the universe we inhabit physically and that there are many different levels to the astral plane..
It is natural at this point to wonder whether or not Out Of Body is dangerous in any way. The answer is both yes and no. We have already established that the astral body cannot permanently leave the physical body, and that everyone is capable of Out Of Body. But, just like anything you do, you need to be able to think effectively.
Solid thinking skills are required so that you can go where you want and know what you plan to accomplish.
When you’re intoxicated, Out Of Body can be hazardous. Psychological damage can be caused by Out Of Body while you’re not in control of yourself. When you don’t have all your wits about you, you can only travel the lowest (and most dangerous) levels of the astral plane.
This is why it is crucial that you know where you plan to go and what you plan to do there. Your goal is to astral project with deliberation. You should have complete awareness and control of the actions of your astral body. This control comes from your thoughts.
Out of Body can actually be very easy to learn with some preparation. Many like to astral project while at home alone, but you can also attend group sessions which are guided by professionals. These sessions can help you learn to get the best results from your Out of Body and can be a good way to get started. It may be helpful to practice on your own as well as with a professional’s guidance.
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.
There have been a number of recent advances in sound technologies, one of which is called ‘binaural beats’. Binaural beats work by transmitting slightly varied sound frequencies in each of the listener’s ears. The effect of this is to foster quick entry into a deeply relaxed state of meditation, which is necessary for successful Out Of Body.
Don’t 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.
Still skeptical? Think back to a time when you dreamed you were flying, or felt a sensation of falling. The flying sensation was your astral body moving through the astral planes. The feeling of falling was when you felt your astral body returning to your physical body.
Out of Body is real and just needs to be ‘relearn’ as deep down you know what to do. Most people simply need to remember this skill and then fine-tune it.
