In general most people at some time or another in their lives have heard about Out of Body. They may have learned about it from a book, movie, or a friend that is into it.
What you might not know is that you can astral project anyone can, in fact. Youve already done so, though you might not remember it.
So what exactly happens during Out Of Body? When you astral project, your astral body comes out from your physical form. Most often this happens during sleep when your body is resting. Your conscious mind rests while you sleep too; but the subconscious is still going strong and it is the source of your astral body which then leaves your body and goes out exploring the universe.
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.
This brings us to the next logical question what is the astral body? The astral body is essentially an invisible ‘double’ of your physical body. The astral body is also known as the ethereal body, and is the seat of our feelings and desires. You may wonder why the astral body doesnt just leave and never return. This is because the astral body remains connected to the physical body via a silver cord.
The silver cord first connects as the astral body enters the physical body. This is not exhausted until after death when the astral body leaves the physical body for the last time. This silver cord prevents the astral body from not returning.
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 cant perceive it with our physical senses, but our astral bodies can travel through this plane of reality with ease.
After learning this information, it is only natural to start to wonder if there are any dangers to astral project. The answer is not as simple as a straightforward yes or no. While out of body is something that everyone is capable of doing and that the astral body is attached to the physical body by a tie that can only be broken by death there is still a need to remain conscience of what is going on while astral projecting and be in a state to maintain that frame of mind.
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.
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 out of body where you are aware of what is going on.
You can learn Out of Body with relative ease and in little time if you prepare yourself. You could choose to take lessons with Out of Body professionals who can teach you some techniques. Alternately, you could do as most people do and learn on your own.
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.
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.
You may not be successful on the first few tries, but don’t let this discourage you. Out of Body takes practice just like any other skill. It’s a natural ability, but it does take some time and patience before you’ll be an expert at it.
If you are still unsure, that out of body 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 out of body. 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.
Out of Body is very real and with a little work, you can learn to do it anytime you like.
