Astral Projecting For Beginners

For those that are new to astral projecting, there can be a number of stumbling blocks that you need to overcome to successfully astral project. First you need to understand that you have the ability, everyone does. So this isn’t about trying to learn something new, or force something that isn’t nature. Look at it as something that you have to fine tune, like roller skating, cartwheels, riding a bike. You never forget how to do these activities, when you haven’t done them in a long time you do have to practice. The same holds true for astral projecting.
 

One major stumbling block that many people encounter is relaxation. To astral project the mind and the body have to be deeply relaxed. This can take some practice, but there are many relaxation techniques that you can employ to help your mind and body relax. There are breathing techniques and muscle relaxation techniques that you can try.
 

Naturally though if the environment is not conducive to promoting a relaxed environment then your astral projection session is not going to go as smoothly or be as successful as you would like it to be. Here are a number of tips that you can follow to help get the most out of your preparation.
 

• Make sure that you are not wearing jewelry or other items that would be contacting your skin. (Clothes are acceptable, but for some removing clothing helps)
 

• Make sure that the room you are going to relax in and practice your astral projecting is dark. Dark enough so that light can not be seen through your eyelids, but you shouldn’t turn off all the lights.
 

 With your head pointed north, lie down along a north-south axis. This should be easy to figure out with the sun rising in the east and setting in the west. So if our of your bedroom window you can see the sunset that means you need to be laying along the window, not with your head or feet pointing towards the window.
 

• Make sure that the clothing you are wearing is loose and comfortable. You want to be covered so that you are warmer the you normally are but you don’t want to be hot.
 

• You should be doing this at a time when you are going to be free from distraction. Which means that you want a noise free place and time to practice your astral projecting.
 

• It is time to enter a state of relaxation, (this is where you want to practice your relaxation techniques.)
 

• Start giving yourself mental suggestions that will help you be able to remember what is happening during your session. Keeping a pen and paper close by is helpful, so that as soon as you finish your astral travels you can write down what you remember. Remembering can be enhanced by saying to yourself five times, “I will remember.”
 

• Continue to practice your breathing
 

• As you are breathing focus on the blackness in front of you.
 

• Now you want to focus on a point or object about a foot away from your forehead, once you focus on that object change your focus to six feet away.
 

• Now you want to make a 90 degree angle that goes from your six foot away focus up so that you are drawing an imaginary line that runs parallel to you body.
Following these simple steps will prepare you for astral projecting. It is important that we note that you also have to have mental control of what you are going to do. You don’t want your astral body to just go out and bounce through the astral planes with no direction. You can go anywhere, do anything so it is important that you have direction.
 

There are some astral projecting practitioners that are able to talk with loved ones they have lost. There are others that take part in activities that they are not able to do in the physical realm of reality. Contrary to what you may think, you have done this already. Now you need to have control over what is happening. Those dreams that you wake up and remember really well were actually astral traveling. Now it is time for you to learn to do it intentionally to reap the benefits of what astral projecting can do for you.
