How To Astral Project A Simple Guide
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.
Let's assume that you are already familiar with the astral plane and you know what astral projection is. The purpose of what follows is to tell you about a few different ways of engaging in astral projection. If you know which methods work best for you, you can know the powerful experience that is astral projection.
The primary method is a straightforward process consisting of five basic steps which can be done while lying down on your bed.
*Commencing with your toes, tense up and then relax each muscle. Once you’ve completed doing this with your toes, do the same tense and relax exercise with your feet, followed by the muscles in your lower legs and so on. You need to repeat this exercise on every muscle and part of your body as you work your way up, finally finishing with your facial muscles. It goes without saying that this is best done while lying down on your bed. The fundamental purpose of doing these exercises is to bring about a state of deep and absolute relaxation.
*Now you will slow down and deepen your breathing as they do in meditation practices. Consciously breathe in deeply and slowly and focus your attention upon the way the air feels as it comes into your lungs and descends into your diaphragm. Now exhale slowly and deeply, focusing your complete attention upon the air leaving your lungs, your nostrils, your mouth. But if you feel yourself drifting off to sleep, focus your attention on the middle of your forehead instead as you breathe.
*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.
*In this fourth stage that most people will be capable of seeing the room they’re in even though their physical eyes are shut and most also testify that there appears to be a purple glow filling the room. For a beginner, experiencing this for the first time can be nothing short of exhilarating and is in itself, good enough motivation to continue.
*Continue concentrating on the light fitting and then mentally, slowly start to pull it towards yourself on the bed. At this point you should start feeling as if you’re starting to float. At this point it’s tantamount that you do not allow yourself to fall asleep because by now you should be absolutely aware that you’re floating and in all likelihood, it may well be possible to turn around and see your physical body still lying on the bed.
Well done! You’ve achieved the state of astral projection and are now able to begin with your astral travels. If in the unlikely event that this technique does not work, then go ahead and try this next technique.
This is a simple, intense technique called the Gazing Method. All you'll need is an object of your choice to focus on. It must be a physical object that you can look at with your eyes, but otherwise it can be just about anything you choose. A favorite picture, a crystal or gemstone, a scented oil burner...just something of interest to you.
Lying on your bed, simply begin focusing all your attention on the object you’ve chosen for the occasion. After a while your eyes will begin getting heavy and no matter how hard you try, they are going to close but what’s important is that you continue staring at the object even though your eyes are closed. Following soon after will be a strong urge to sit up or to stand up and it’s when you do this that you will see your physical body left behind on the bed. This is what you’ve been aiming for so try not to be alarmed.
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.
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.
For those who are impatient and are concerned they may grow frustrated too easily with these practices, there are some shortcuts to use to get you astral projecting on one of your very first attempts.
Those beginners who experience a block in their path to astral projecting, hypnosis can in most cases prove to be the only tool you’ll ever need. It gets you into an ideal state of relaxation in an incredibly short space of time and also, a quality session will prepare you mentally for your first astral projection experience.
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, astral projection is not mystical or just something for a select few. It's one of your innate abilities--all you need to do is use the right techniques to master it!
