The Practise Of 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.
While we will try to help people learn how to astral project using various methods, one should remember, astral projection is a personal experience so you really need to choose a method that works best for yourself. Also, this article is based on the assumption that you are already familiar with what astral projection is.
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.
*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.
*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.
*A large percentage of people attempting to astral project claim that in this stage, they see the whole room they’re lying in, in spite of the fact that their eyes are closed. Additionally, in most cases it seems, people claim that there appears to be purple light, or at least, a purple glow filling the room. If you’ve reached this point then the next thing you need to focus on the light fitting in the centre of the ceiling.
*Concentrating on the ceiling light you should mentally start trying to pull it towards you and before long, in all likelihood, you’ll more than likely start feeling as if you’re floating. Whatever you do, do not allow yourself to fall asleep at this point because by now you should be fully aware that you’re floating and in many cases, you may also be able to see your physical body lying on the bed below.
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 second tactic is known as the gazing technique and as with the technique discussed above it should also be done when you go to your bed. As the name implies, all you need with this method is an object to gaze at, be it a picture hanging up, the moon if it’s visible through the window or even some form of pendant such as a crystal.
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.
Most importantly, it’s essential to understand that one’s subconscious mind is the biggest obstacle in your path to successful astral projection, no matter what tools or techniques you decide to use. Before one can astral project, you need to convince your subconscious mind that it’s acceptable for your astral body to leave your physical body and one effective means of doing this is through affirmations. Once your subconscious has come to terms with the concept, astral projection becomes easy.
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.
Hypnosis is perhaps the most powerful tool available as it gets you into an ideal state relaxation. Additionally, a really good session will also enable you to grasp and accept the principles of astral projection when you experience it.
The recently developed sonic technology of \"binaural beats\" can also program your subconscious mind to be deeply relaxed and let down the guard against 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.
