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.
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.
There is one technique which you can practice as you’re lying in bed about to go to sleep. There are five steps to this method.
*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; Breathe slowly and deeply. This is something which is done while meditating. Focus on the sensation of the air moving through your lungs. Exhale as slowly as you inhale, imagining your stress floating away with each exhalation. Try not to fall asleep as you do this, though you may need to try this a few times before you can remain awake during this step.
*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; Visualize yourself pulling this light from the ceiling towards your astral body. You’ll feel like your floating (your astral body will in fact be floating; if you look down, you might see your physical body still in bed).
If you’ve made it this far successfully, you are astral projecting and can begin on your astral travels. If this method doesn’t work for you, however, there is another technique which many find useful.
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 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 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 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.
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.
