How To Astral Project Revealed!
Astral projection is often thought of as \"mystical\", but in fact just about everyone has the ability. In fact, lots of people experience astral projection unaware. So the trick sit is to have control over it and do with it what you want to do.
It should be mentioned that this article will attempt to present different techniques for those wanting to learn astral projection, based on the assumption that you already know what astral projection is. Also, as every person is different and astral projection is a personal experience, you’ll need to opt for a technique which you find works best for yourself.
The first technique is a relatively simple process consisting of five steps which can be done in bed when you’re about to sleep.
*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.
*Perhaps the most difficult part of step two is actually not falling asleep as you becomes more and more relaxed. In order to deepen and slow down your breathing, we follow a technique which is also used for meditation. This involves taking a slow deep breath and at the same time, feeling the air actually move its way down into your lungs. As you then exhale, you once again pay attention to the feeling of moving air leaving your body, ensuring also that you exhale all the air you have. To avoid falling asleep, try focusing mentally on an imaginary dot on the centre of your forehead.
*Next, shift your attention to how your body is feeling--it should seem to you like some heavy slab of wet clay. If you feel this way, close your eyes and visualize your astral self, the weightless self, floating like a butterfly in a breeze, a bird just drifting on a thermal.
*It’s now in this fourth stage that many people tend to see the room they’re in filled with a soft purple light. Likewise, they tens to see the entire room even though their physical body is lying on the bed with eyes closed. It’s hardly surprising then that so many people report that this is where the thrill of astral projection starts.
*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.
Simply begin focusing all your attention on the object you’ve chosen for the occasion while you are lying down on your bed. Inevitably your eyes will soon start to feel increasingly heavy and irrespective of how hard you try, your eyes will eventually close. This is a perfectly normal part of the process so don’t feel disheartened but instead, you must make sure that you continue staring at the object through your closed eyes. Providing you do this, you will soon start to sense an irresistible urge to sit up or to stand up. Don’t fight this urge as the feeling is coming from your astral body rather than your physical body. You’ll soon realize this though as because when you turn around, you’ll be able to see your physical 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).
There do exist some shortcuts to becoming able to consciously astral project for those who might not have the patience to try over and over until they get it right. These should enable you to astral project on just your first attempt or second.
Perhaps the most helpful tool is hypnosis as it gets you into a perfectly relaxed state of mind and a really good session will also allow you to understand the workings of astral projection once you experience it.
Recent advancements in sound technology have brought to light, a concept known as 'binaural beats'which are also proving to be very useful in helping people achieve a state of deep relaxation which is essential for successful astral projection.
Once again, astral projection is actually not difficult--it's a natural capability born into you. You just need to use the right tools to get it done, and then you can astrally travel the cosmos!
