A Natural Way To Astral Project

By David Groomes

The ability to astral project is something which everyone already has naturally; in fact, you've probably astral projected before without knowing it. What we're going to talk about here is learning to consciously astral project and have control over where your astral body goes.

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 body completely, trying to achieve a state of deep relaxation throughout your body. While you're lying there, tense and then release all of your muscles, starting from your toes and working your way towards your head. You may start feeling very heavy; this is natural and indicates deep physical relaxation.

*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 deeply relaxed way your body feels; it probably feels like stone or clay; that is to say, heavy and difficult to move. Next, concentrate on the weightlessness of your astral body and picture it floating up out of your physical body.

*Fourth ; Right now, you may experience what many people do while practicing this technique; the sensation of seeing around in your darkened room, even with your eyes closed. The room will appear to be illuminated by a purple light. If you experience this, try to focus on the ceiling.

*Fifth; Now, visualize pulling the light from the ceiling to your astral body. You should experience a sensation of floating. Remain conscious during this part. You might even see your physical body lying in bed if you were to look down.

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 less important how you do it as that you are able to get the message to your subconscious mind that there's nothing to fear about astral projection and that it's perfectly fine for your astral body to leave the physical realm and travel. One good way to communicate with your subconscious is to repeat affirmations to yourself.

There are a lot of different methods of learning to astral project and whatever works for you is a good way to go.

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 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.

Learning to astral project isn't as hard as you might think. It's a capacity which all of us have inherently. It's just a matter of practicing and fine tuning it. After all, you were born with the ability to learn to ride a bicycle, though you had to practice it. Learning to astral project is much the same; it's just learning to use the abilities you already possess.
