Learning About How To Astral Project
The process of astral projection is a natural ability with which everyone is born. In fact, many people actually do it without even being aware of it. Our aim however should be to astral project while we’re physically conscious, thus allowing ourselves to control what your astral body is doing.
Assuming that you already know what astral projection is and what it's basically about, the following techniques may help you assume control over your own astral projection ability so that you can harness the magnificent power of this amazing experience to deepen your awareness of your place in this vast, vast universe.
Firstly, we’ll look at a simple 5 point method which is a technique people can use when they go to bed.
*Your first priority is to achieve a state of deep relaxation by relaxing your body thoroughly. In order to achieve this state of relaxation you need to be lying down. Your goal here is, starting at the lowest point which is your toes, to tense each muscle and then relax it again. Once you’ve worked through your toes, you do the same with you feet, and so you move upwards until you eventually finish with the muscles in your face. Don’t be alarmed if you sense a feeling that your body is heavy as this is perfectly normal.
*For many beginners trying to astral project, the most challenging aspect of this stage is staying awake as you find yourself becoming totally relaxed. We now have to deepen and slow down your breathing and to do this we use a technique most often used in meditation. This method requires that you take slow but deep breaths while paying close attention to the feeling of air actually making its way into your lungs. As you begin breathing out, you again focus your attention to the feeling of air leaving your body. It’s important to ensure that you exhale all the air you have. In order to avoid sleeping, attempt to focus on an imaginary spot situated in the centre of your forehead.
*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.
*See yourself being pulled up into the ceiling light. It's likely that you'll experience a physical sensation of floating and should be able to look down at your own prone physical body on the bed.
This means you're now able to astral project and are prepared to move on to astral travel. But, if that one doesn't work for you, try the next technique, which is also to be used when you're going to bed for the night.
This second method is commonly known as the gazing technique, which just as with the first method, is also best done when going to bed. The main difference is, with the gazing method, all you require is an object on which you can focus such as a picture hanging on the wall, the moon outside if it’s within view, or in fact anything you choose.
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.
You may need to practice these methods several times over before you start getting results, so the important thing is to never give up. If you let yourself grow frustrated or anxious this will only interfere with your ability astral project.
Astral projection is often hindered or even prevented simply because your subconscious mind refuses to allow it and until such time that your subconscious accepts the fact that its okay for your astral body to leave your physical body you may not be successful. An effective tool for getting past this obstacle is through affirmations which will enable your subconscious to come to terms with the aspect 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.
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.
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.
