Each and every person in the world can astral project. In fact, many of us do so, although we might not know that this is what we’re doing. The ability to consciously astral project and be in control of the experience can be learned with practice.
We’ll assume that you already know about the astral plane and the astral body. Instead of defining these terms, we’ll cover methods of learning how to astral project. It’s something that everyone does a little differently, so you need to find the techniques which perform the best for you individually.
One technique you can try when you’re lying in bed before you sleep follows. There are five steps to follow in this technique.
*First: Start by tensing, then relaxing every part of your body. Start with your toes and work your way up to your head. You’ll probably begin to feel heavy; this is nothing to worry about and is a sign that you’re becoming deeply relaxed.
*Second; Take slow, deep breaths and concentrate on the feeling of the air filling your lungs. When you exhale, do so slowly and visualize your stress and tension exiting your body with each breath. You’ll need to stay focused during this step, since it’s easy to fall asleep when you’re this deeply relaxed.
*Third; Focus on the relaxed, heavy way your physical body feels. It probably feels like a heavy lump of clay or a slab of stone. Now turn your focus to the way that your astral body feels weightless and able to float free of your physical body. Imagine your astral body drifting upwards from the bed.
*Fourth; At this point, you may find that you’re able to see perfectly in your room even tough your eyes are closed. Your room will be bathed in purple light. Focus on the light coming from the ceiling.
*Fifth; Try to visualize pulling this light to your astral body. You’ll feel like you’re floating; this is your astral body floating above your physical body. Just look down and you’ll be able to see your bed with your physical body at rest below.
If you’ve been able to make it through all of these steps, you’ve done it! You can now depart on astral travels. If you can’t astral project this way, there’s another method which you can try.
This technique can help you as you learn to astral project. This is called the gazing method and it’s quite simple. You need to choose something to focus your attention on; it doesn’t really matter what it is, just something which is visible from your bed.
With this object in your line of sight, lie in bed and focus on it. Even as your eyes begin to feel heavy, continue to focus on the object, staring at it. Eventually you won’t be able to keep your eyes open, but you should be able to see it even now with your eyes closed. You might feel like sitting or standing, so go ahead; but don’t panic when you see your sleeping physical body lying in bed!
If these techniques don’t work for you right away, don’t become discouraged. You may need to practice for a while before you can successfully astral project. Persistence is key.
It’s not really all that important how you start to astral project. Whatever works for you is great; the important thing is to let your subconscious mind know that it’s OK for your astral body to depart to travel the astral plane and that there’s nothing to fear. One way you can get this message across to your subconscious mind is by using affirmations.
There are plenty of techniques which can make it easier to astral project and you should use whatever works best for you.
Hypnosis is something which a lot of people find helps them to astral project. Especially for beginners, a guided hypnosis session can help. Having an expert there to tell you what’s happening and what to do next at each step is valuable guidance.
New audio technologies called binaural beats can also help you learn to astral project. These specially designed recordings consist of slightly different frequencies played into each ear. The effect of these recordings is to place the listener into the meditative, deeply relaxed state where astral projection comes naturally.
It’s really not that hard to learn how to astral project. It’s simply a matter of practice. You already have this capacity, but you’ll need to work at it to develop this skill. Just like learning to ride a bike, it’s something you can already do, but some practice is needed to train yourself to do it well.
