Can Anyone Use 'How To Astral Project' Techniques?
Astral projection is in fact a natural ability which everyone possesses, with many people actually doing it without being aware of it. However, the aim should be to do it while you’re conscious thereby being able to control what your astral body is doing.
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.
The primary method is a straightforward process consisting of five basic steps which can be done while lying down on your bed.
*As you are lying down to go to bed, instead of just letting yourself try to drift off to sleep, use muscle tensing and releasing to enter a deep but conscious state of relaxation. Starting with your feet and toes, tense and then untense every muscle one at a time in your body, working all the way up through your facial muscles. If you feel this is uncomfortable or you feel heavy, that's normal--you aren't used to deep relaxation.
*Okay, hopefully you will have achieved a state of deep relaxation, so now you need to control your breathing with slow deep breaths by following a method which has proven to be very popular in meditation. Breathe in deep but slowly and allow yourself to actually feel the air moving into you as it makes its way into your lungs. Now breath out slowly, once again paying attention to the air leaving your body. This is the bit many people find hard due to the extreme relaxation which results. Instead, they simply fall asleep which is of course, the last thing you want to be doing. Focusing on the centre of your forehead will in most cases, help you to remain conscious.
*The third phase is to focus on the concept weightlessness regarding your astral body as well as the real weight of your physical body. By this stage your physical body will be feeling heavy so try to picture it as being a huge lump of clay, heavy and difficult to move. Additionally, you need to focus on how light your astral body feels by comparison. Imagine it to be a large bubble starting to float away up into the air, or even some feathers drifting away on a gentle breeze. Still with your eyes closed, visualize your astral body starting to separate from your physical body and drift away, taking in the feeling of complete weightlessness. Acknowledge to yourself, that your physical body is extremely heavy and almost impossible to move; your astral body on the other hand, has absolutely 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.
*This is the stage that you’ve been aiming for so you need to go through with it and whatever you do, don’t fall asleep. As you focus on the ceiling light, imagine trying to pull it down onto the bed. As you mentally pull the light towards you, you’ll more than likely experience a floating feeling. Staying conscious, continue pulling the light until you become aware of yourself actually floating and then go ahead, look down and in most cases, you’ll be able to see yourself lying 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.
The second technique is known as the gazing method and as with the technique it’s also best suited for when you go to your bed. All you need with this one is an object to focus on such as a picture hanging up, a mark on the wall or even the moon if it’s visible through the window.
Once you’re lying on your bed, concentrate on the object you’ve chosen. Continue focusing until your eyes become heavier and heavier, until if feels as though you cannot keep them open. No matter how hard you try, they are going to close and when they do, be sure to keep staring at the object, even through your closed eyes. After doing this for some time, you’ll experience the desire to get up off the bed or at least, to sit up. Be warned, if it’s your first projection, standing up and turning around can be an alarming experience as you see your own body lying on the bed.
If you’re really serious about learning to astral project, you need to understand that these methods aren’t always successful on your first attempt. In all likelihood you may not even be successful with your second or third attempt either but if after that they still don’t work, don’t give up because there are still other techniques so simply try again using a new method.
Astral projection is often obstructed or even prevented because your subconscious mind won’t allow. Until your subconscious acknowledges the fact that it’s a natural process for your astral body to leave your physical body, astral projection may not be possible. For beginners who are experiencing this mental block, affirmations can be highly effective at enabling your subconscious to accept the concept of astral projection.
Many people still find that conditioning their mind to an extent where astral projection becomes easy can take considerable time but the truth is, there are some incredibly efficient short cuts which can make it possible even after one attempt.
One of the shortcuts is hypnosis. A good hypnotist can tell you what you are experiencing as you enter into the right state of mind, so you don't have to worry about what you \"should\" be experiencing.
In recent times it has come to light that a form of sound technology known as 'binaural beats' is also highly effective at inducing a state of relaxation which is suitable for astral projection.
No, astral project is certainly not as difficult as many may proclaim it to be. After all, it’s a natural ability which we’re all born with. The techniques which have been discussed are merely aides to help you achieve your experience.
