A Discussion Of Different Ways On How To Astral Project
It’s amazing just how many people astral project without even having the slightest idea that they’re doing it and this is simply because astral projection is a natural phenomenon. What needs to be learnt is the ability to astral project while you’re conscious.
While it is the aim of this article to put forth different methods and techniques for those wanting to learn astral projection, it has been assumed that you are already familiar with what astral projection is. Furthermore, because each person differs from the next and astral projection is a personal experience, you may need to experiment with different techniques in order to determine which one works best for you.
Firstly, we’ll look at a simple 5 point method which is a technique people can use when they go to bed.
*While lying there, completely relax your body so that you enter a deep state of relaxation. Lie on your back and start tensing then relaxing every muscle in your toes and feet. Work your way upward through your body from your toes to your head. You might feel discomfort or heaviness the first times you try this; but this is normal because you just aren't used to feeling so relaxed.
*Next, focus your attention on your breathing; just observe your breathing as a cat watches a mouse, without 'judging' your breathing. Inhale deeply and slowly and observe the process of the air going into your lungs, your diaphragm. Exhale deeply and slowly, again just observing. You should feel yourself becoming extremely relaxed, but do not allow yourself to drift off into sleep. If you feel that happening, shift your attention to your forehead (your 'second sight' seat). Do this several times.
*This third step focuses on the weightlessness of one’s astral body together with the weight of the physical body. Now that your physical body feels heavy, try to imagine it as being a large piece of lead, heavy and difficult to move in any way. Likewise, focus on just how light your astral body feels, comparable to a large bubble which wants to float away one the slightest hint of a breeze, or some feathers blowing away in the wind. With eyes closed, see your astral self starting to drift away, feeling the complete weightlessness of space. Yes, while your physical body may be heavy and difficult to move, your astral body has no weight at all, free to drift on the wind.
*If you get to this stage you're likely to start experiencing exquisite 'night vision', where just like a cat you can see clearly in total darkness. Also, the room will seem like it's saturated with light, especially purple light. So, now focus your attention upon the light on the ceiling.
*Envision yourself pulling the drawing imagine that you are pulling the ceiling light into you. As you're doing this you might well get the sensation that you're floating. If you feel this, you can likely look \"down\" at your own physical body lying still on the bed.
If this first technique has not worked for you then don’t give up but instead, simply try the next technique discussed below. On the other hand, if this one has worked then congratulations, you’ve achieved a state of astral projection and are free to start astral travelling.
Known as the gazing technique, this second method is also best done when going to bed. However, with the gazing method, all you require is something on which you can focus such as a picture or even the moon outside if it’s within view.
Once you’re comfortable on your bed, begin focusing on the object of your choice. You need to continue focusing, without becoming distracted and looking away, until your eyes start feeling heavy. In reality, no matter how hard you try, your eyes will eventually close and when this happens, you need to continue focusing on the object. Before long you’ll experience a powerful urge to either stand up or to sit up. If this is your first successful projection, standing up and turning around can be a frightening experience for some, given that you’ll see your own body lying on the bed.
One thing that’s extremely important is that you realize these techniques don’t always work on your first attempt. In fact, they may not even work on the second or third time you try them but if after that they still don’t work, don’t despair because there are still other techniques.
You see, no matter what methodologies you attempt with astral projection or any new spiritual discipline, it's your own subconscious mind which is the main obstacle. Your subconscious mind must feel like it's perfectly alright for the astral body to temporarily depart from the physical body. To this end you can do some affirmations for several minutes every day to re-program the subconscious mind. Remember that all affirmations must be stated in the positive and they cannot be lies. (I.E. do not talk as if you have already astral projected; talk as if you have made the decision to astral project and you know it's perfectly natural to do so).
The ability to astral project successfully on the first attempt is not possible for everyone as their subconscious minds have to be suitably conditioned. Luckily some very powerful tools exist and are readily available to help you in a very short space of time.
Hypnosis can be used to make your subconscious mind more welcoming of the fact of astral projection. A rightly trained hypnotist can also descriptively guide your mind through the process of the steps to astral projection so you don't have to be distracted with such worries.
Audio technology has now developed 'binaural beats' which you can use to deeply relax and open up your subconscious mind to new spiritual experiences.
Remember, everyone is born with the ability to astral project. All the various techniques and tools such as hypnosis simply offer a little help for those who are experiencing difficulty.
