A Natural Way To Astral Project
Every one of us already has the ability to astral project. Many people astral project without being aware of it. However, it is learning to control one's experience while astral projecting and to do so at will that we'll be discussing here.
You probably already know about the astral body and the astral plane, so we'll jump right into techniques which can assist you in your efforts to learn how to astral project. Different people do better using different methods, so you'll probably want to try out a few until you hit on one which gets good results for you.
The following technique is a five-step process which can be done as you're lying in bed before you fall asleep.
*First; Relax your entire body completely. The best way to do this is to start with your toes and work your way upwards, tensing and then relaxing each part of your body. You'll become deeply relaxed as you do this and your body may feel extremely heavy; this is perfectly normal.
*Second; Focus on your breathing. Take deep, slow breaths and concentrate on the feeling of the air filling your lungs. Exhale slowly, visualizing your tension and stress leaving your body each time you exhale.
*Third; Concentrate on the feeling of your body's total relaxation. Think of it as a stone or a lump of earth; something which is heavy and immobile. Now refocus your attention to your astral body; think about how light it feels, weightless in fact. Close your eyes and visualize your astral body floating away on the breeze.
*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.
At this point you are now astral projecting and your astral body is free to begin traveling the astral plane. If you aren't able to successfully astral project using this technique, you can try the following method.
This is called the gazing method and is used by many when learning how to astral project. It's a very simple method where you focus your complete attention on an object. This can be anything as long as its within your line of sight while you lie in 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!
Don't give up if you don't succeed the first time you try these techniques. Practice makes perfect and if you just aren't having luck with these methods, there are plenty of others you can try. Just stick with it and be patient and you'll learn how to astral project sooner than you think.
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 useful for many, since it can easily produce the deeply relaxed state needed. A guided hypnosis session is especially helpful, since you'll have an expert to explain every step along the way.
New audio technology has enabled something called binaural beats which can produce a relaxed, meditative state using slightly different frequencies in each ear. A lot of people find binaural beats to make it easy to astral project.
Learning how to astral project isn't actually that difficult. It's really just about practicing. This is an ability which every man and woman already possesses; it just takes a little work and a little patience to learn to do it at will. Just like being able to read, it's something you're born with the capacity to do; but you do need to practice to become expert in it.
