A
Discussion Of Astral Traveling
There are a number of different Astral Traveling available for people to
use to help them astral project. With every person being an individual,
what works for one person will not necessarily work for another. Many
people run into difficulties with various methods though, not because the
method doesn’t work, they are not able to relax.
Complete and total relaxation is essential to making any Astral Traveling
successful. Part of the reason for the inability to relax is fear. This is
very common with those that are just starting to relearn how to astral
project. This fear comes from false beliefs that a person could die or be
harmed because of the astral projection. In an effort to help squash those
fears the Canterbury Institute, who is known for their occult studies,
conducted a research study.
This study was done on 2000 people, all of whom participated in astral
projection. What the institute found was that there wasn’t a single person
in that followed Astral Traveling were harmed in anyway. What is even more
important is that they followed those people for the last three years. Not
a single participant have complained of any problems.
Now all concerns and fears can be put aside to rest. Lets take a look at
seven of the techniques of astral projection that are pretty easy. These
techniques have been successful for quite a few people, many in fact. One
that is known is the Monroe and consist of seven steps of Astral Traveling
or the seven techniques of astral projections:-
* You must relax your body and your mind. There are numerous relaxation
techniques that you can use. A simple one is just deep breathing, slowly
and calmly. Deep inhales and deep exhales. Relaxing all the muscles in the
body one at a time by tensing them and then releasing them, starting at
the toes and working your way up the body.
* Hypnosis is used frequently to produce a deep state of relaxation. Where
your mind and body are so relaxed you fall into a hypnotic state near
sleep. Do not fall asleep. You may also use another known as the gazing
method by focusing on an object as you lounge on a chair or from a recling
position on your bed.. Focus on an object, staring at it. Close your eyes
and you will still see the same object, as if your eyes were open.
* Once you can visualize the object when your eyes are closed you will
need to take the state you are in deeper. A good method of doing this is
glance around (with closed eyes) and notice what you are able to see. Its
possible that you may see light patterns that are different, you may
notice the room is veiled in purple. Don't take too much notice of this,
once you cease seeing this light you will have successfully deepened your
state. You are so totally relaxed now that you are no longer aware of your
body physically. This is vital as per the Monroe Technique of astral
projection.
* According to Monroe, this step is the most vital. You will need to enter
the state of Vibration. Many people that have been practicing Astral
Traveling for awhile note that they feel these vibrations early on in the
projection. It is believed by them that this is the feeling you experience
when the astral body begins to leave the physical body. Do not be alarmed,
just feel the vibrations.
* Now you need to control the state of vibration. Focus on the vibrations
and moving them through out your whole body. This is done with your mind
and you want your entire body to feel the vibrations, like ocean waves
washing over you. Practice continually until you can summon these waves to
you on demand as you want to. Once you have accomplished this you are
ready to leave the body.
* The key component to astral projection and Astral Traveling is to have
control, that your mind is the one in power. To help strengthen this
control Monroe recommends at this point you practice a 'partial
separation.' Keeping your mind focused on the idea of leaving the physical
body, first let a hand or a foot go of the astral body. Stretch them to an
object that is near you, such as the wall, the floor or another familiar
object, then push your hand or foot through that object. Once you do that,
return your foot or hand back to the physical body, slow down the
vibrations and end the session. Stay laying down until your body has
returned to a fully awake state.
* This is the step where you will leave
the body. Again following all of the previous steps, only this time
instead of releasing just a hand or foot from the physical body you are
going to move completely into your astral body. This requires a simple
adjustment to step six. Instead of focusing on releasing one appendage,
you are going to focus on releasing the astral body, by thinking about how
light it feels, how weightless you are, how you are as light as feathers
blowing in the breeze. Astral Traveling is when the astral body should be
moving out of the physical body, you feel as though you are floating, or
flying.
* The final stage of Astral Traveling is where you leave the body.
Following steps one through the sixth. Only now you will go completely
into your astral body. Not just a hand or foot this time. A simple adjust
is need this time to the sixth step. You will be focusing on the release
of the astral body. Think about how light it feel. You could be floating
on a cloud, as light as a small feather blowing in a gentle breeze. How
weightless you are. The astral body will float up from the physical body,
you will like you are floating or even flying.
Different methods are available for you to avail yourself of them. Other
techniques which are available are the Rope Technique, Gazing Method, and
the Anchor Technique. If you spend time trying these techniques, you will
find a technique that is good for you. A technique exist for everyone and
there is one out there for you.
However, be aware, not everyone is able to try Astral Traveling using the
above techniques. These techniques take time and patience to learn and
require a lot of practice by you.
Astral
Traveling and You
Astral Traveling 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.
What most people don't know is that Astral Traveling 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.
You need to understand what Astral Traveling really is. Astral Traveling
is the ability of an individual to leave his or her body. Everyone has the
ability to do this; everyone does this when he or she lay down to sleep at
night. While sleeping the physical mind is resting and the subconscious
mind takes control. A person astral projects while this is happening.
However, the majority may never remember astral projecting.
When you astral project, there are no limits to what you can do or where
you can go. When you were young, you could do this with ease in your
sleep. As we get older most of us lose our knack for this and we need to
practice again to do it at will.
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.
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.
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.
Are there any risks to Astral Traveling? 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.
Astral Traveling while you’re under the influence of drugs or alcohol can
be somewhat risky. When you’re not in total control of yourself, your
astral body is limited to the lowest and most hazardous levels of the
astral plane. If you’re not careful, there is a danger of psychological
harm.
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.
You can learn Astral Traveling with relative ease and in little time if
you prepare yourself. You could choose to take lessons with Astral
Traveling professionals who can teach you some techniques. Alternately,
you could do as most people do and learn on your own.
There are also a number of books and online resources available. For
example, by listening to a quality Astral Traveling hypnosis recording,
you can enter the right state of mind. 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.
Recently there have been great advances in sound technology called
binaural beats. This works by playing slightly different degrees of sound
frequencies in either ear. This offers a very quickly relaxing and deep
state of meditation to occur which is essential for Astral Traveling
success.
Astral Traveling takes some practice, so be patient with yourself. Much
like walking, it’s something we can do naturally – but you do need to
practice and refine this ability before you can use it at will. You may
fail the first time, the second or even more, but you will soon be able to
astral project.
Are you still not sure about Astral Traveling? Here’s an example of Astral
Traveling 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.
Astral Traveling is very real and with a little work, you can learn to do
it anytime you like. |
