Astral Projecting To Infinity And Beyond

Many find astral projecting to be something which is hard to do at first. While each and every one of us has this ability naturally, there are a number of things which can be stumbling blocks along the way as we try to become better at astral projecting. However, its like riding a bike " you havent forgotten how, you just need practice if you want to become expert at this technique.

Perhaps the most difficult thing to do when learning to astral project is being able to relax your body and mind totally " both are necessary in order to learn astral projecting. There are several different techniques which can help you to relax, including muscle and breathing relaxation methods.

Since relaxation is such a common challenge, it is important to understand that the environment can play a large role in helping you to relax. If your environment is relaxing then it will be much easier for you to relax. To help prepare and get the most from your efforts to relax here are some tips.

*Wear loose clothes or light clothing. Consider removing jewelry since the contact with skin can be distracting.

*You need a dimply lit or dark room for astral projecting - not so dark that you cant see anything, but certainly dark enough that you dont have light penetrating through your closed eyelids.

*Lying in a position where your head is to the north and your feet to the south is a perfect position. You should be able to figure out where north is by watching the sun as it rises in the east and sets in the west. Arrange the room so you can lie in this position.

*You should also make sure that you are completely comfortable. The temperature of the room should keep you comfortable and not too hot or too cold. You may want to adjust your clothing so that you are a good temperature.

*The room that you will be in should be quiet and free from distractions. Make sure that during the time you are practicing astral projection that you will not have a lot of noise or other distractions.

*You can now move to relaxation where you will use the relaxation techniques that you have chosen to completely relax.

*Give yourself a mental suggestion so that you can remember what happens during your session. Simply telling yourself that you will remember can help. Have a pen and paper nearby so when you are finished you can record what you remember. Making records will be helpful to allow you to remember what happened.

*Slow your body down by taking deep breaths.

*Direct your gaze to a point of darkness directly a head of your eyes.

*Move your focus to about a foot away and then to six feet away. Focus on this point and ensure that you focus first a foot away and then six feet away.

*Now create a line that runs from that point at six feet away parallel to your body. Go up from the point at a 90 degree angle and then create this parallel line.

These steps and tips are great preparation for astral projection. You must note t6hat mental control is an important part of the process. If you cannot control yourself mentally then you could end up bouncing around the astral plane without any direction. You need control so you can direct what happens when you are astral projecting.

Some of those who astral project do this so they may speak to their family that has passed away and are no longer with them. Many do this in order to take care of matter that would not be able to happen in the real world. Many who do even know they have done. It is thought that we all have astral projected at one time or another. Some of the more vivid dreams may actually have been an out of body experience. If you can train yourself to do this while conscious, you will have better odds of remembering the session and what happened while you were doing it.

How To Be A Master Of Astral Projecting

If a person has the power or ability to break away the shackles of his physical body and travel to higher realms of consciousness in his free spirit or astral body self, the ability and the action thereof is known as astral projecting. Hence, this calls for attaining a deep trance condition through meditation in order to gain control over your sub conscious.

Astral projecting thus is a travel like no other. It is a journey of a life time that lets you transcend the boundaries of the physical universe and gives you the chance to observe yourself and the world from a higher plane of existence. It is a spiritual journey which forever changes one's perspective towards, life, death, reality, relationship and his own true potential.

The history of astral projecting can be traced back to the ancient times and across all ancient civilization, religions and cultures. It was believed in and practiced by spiritual travelers from Egypt to China and finds mention in the ancient Hindu Upanishads.

If we start from Egypt, one of the oldest civilizations of the world, astral projecting can be seen to be a concept formed around their belief in 'ka' or the immortal soul within man. They believed 'ka' to be an energy body, the immortal and omnipotent soul inside the boundaries of the physical body which had the ability to be free and to travel outside it. The proof lies in the fact that the ancient Egyptians preserved their bodies after death so that they can travel to the next world along the 'ka'.

Coming eastwards to India, secrets of astral projecting and actual experiences of the same can be found in the ancient religious scriptures of Hinduism.

Known as one of the most spiritually advanced philosophies in the world, it has always believed the concept of soul to be an omnipotent, immortal force of energy residing within the physical body of every man having the full power to do and go as it desires if its true potential is harnessed and mastered.

Traveling more eastwards till China, we see that astral projecting used to be done here through alchemical practices of creating an energy body through breathing meditation.

Thus, the Chinese involved themselves in specialized breathing techniques so as to draw in energy into a small pearl which was then circulated to form this body of energy that separated from the physical body and traveled to higher astral planes.

The topic of astral projecting in the light of the western philosophies, starting from the classical philosophies through the renaissance thoughts till the more modern theosophical beliefs consists of the concept of astral body as being the link between the soul and the physical body, the astral plane being the platform between Earth and heaven.


Thus, whatever the belief and whatever the practice in different religions over different transitions of time, it can be seen that astral projecting has forever been in vogue.

Believed in different concepts and achieved in separate practices, it is that journey of one's inner soul that can be attained by each and every human. The key to its lies in meditation, being aware of one's subconscious and gaining a certain amount of control over it in order to project it outside for this one in a life time experience.
