Just about everyone has heard of out of body before. You might have heard someone talking about it or read of it somewhere, perhaps seen it in a film.

What most people don’t know is that Out of Body is something which is a real phenomenon and is an ability which anyone can use. You’ve probably astral projected at some point in your life without knowing it.

First though, what is out of body? To put it in the simplest possible terms, out of body is leaving your physical body. It’s something that often happens when you go to sleep. As your body rests, your conscious mind does as well but your subconscious remains active. This is when we are most likely to astral project, although most people do it without having any memory of the act.

While you are projecting, you can go anywhere you want to go. You should try recalling your childhood; you may be able to remember being able to do this after you went to sleep. Over time, you may have forgotten. When it involves out of body there is no such thing as time or distance. You can go anywhere, since while asleep your physical body is at rest and your astral body travels.

You probably want to know what your astral body is it’s an invisible duplicate of your physical body which is made of our emotions and our desires. Your astral body will always return to your physical body the two are connected by a silver cord.

The silver cord connects the two through your entire life; from the moment you first became aware of being alive until the moment you die. The connection is unbreakable as long as you still draw breath and your astral body will always return.

You may wonder where you may go when you astral project. The astral body goes to the astral plane. It is the invisible double of the Earth. It has a faster vibration than the physical Earth and its vibrations penetrate to the center of the Earth. Some define it as another dimension of reality. However, the majority agree that there are many levels of the astral plane.

Can out of body be dangerous? Well, the answer is a qualified no. While you can’t lose your astral body since the silver cord ensures its return to your physical form, there can be some hazards lurking on the astral plane. As long as you exercise the same basic caution as you would in the real world, however, you should be perfectly safe. Keep your wits about you and know where you want to go before you project there.

The danger is when you astral project when your mind is clouded or incapacitated. For example, if your mind is impaired by alcohol or drugs, you might end up in bad places. These places are the lower levels of the astral plane.

Just as if you were out exploring somewhere unfamiliar in the physical world, you need to pay attention to your surroundings and have a destination in mind.

However, the real goal of practicing out of body is to train yourself to exercise this ability consciously. When you can get your mind in full control of itself, you’ll be able to do this.

When engaging in out of body it is important to prepare properly. Once you know how to prepare, you will find that out of body is a quick and easy process. The method of preparation varies depending on the professional consulted. However, there are a number of, at home, training programs that provide individuals with the opportunity to learn how to control the experience and ultimately obtain both more enjoyment and benefit from astral projecting.

There are a lot of helpful resources out there to help you learn Out of Body. There are books and websites which contain useful information and recordings such as Out of Body hypnosis recordings. You can listen to these recordings to relax and allow your subconscious to hear the messages on the recordings that it’s time to astral project.

Something called binaural beats, a new audio recording technique have made it possible for many people to astral project. Two frequencies which are just slightly different are listened to, one in each year. The result is that your brainwaves tune to the proper frequency for astral projecting.

You may not be successful on the first few tries, but don’t let this discourage you. Out of Body takes practice just like any other skill. It’s a natural ability, but it does take some time and patience before you’ll be an expert at it.

Are you still not so sure? Think about the last time you dreamt you were flying or felt as if you had fallen. It feels similar to flying when the astral body moves throughout the astral plane. When the astral body returns to the physical body the sensation is much like falling and landing.

All of us can use out of body it only takes a little practice.
