1 Preparing for the astral projection

1 Start in the morning. Rather than practising astral projection at night, right before you
go to sleep, start in the early morning hours when you're still feeling drowsy. Some say
that it's easier to reach the necessary state of relaxation and heightened awareness around
dawn. Yet it is possible to astral travel at any time so there are no hard and fast rules. It is a
personal preference or simply astral traveling when we feel empowered to do it.

2 Create the right atmosphere. Astral projection requires a state of deep relaxation, so it
should be performed in a part of your home where you're completely comfortable. Lie on
your bed or sofa and relax your mind and body.
It's easier to perform astral projection alone than it is with someone else in the room. If
you usually sleep with a partner, choose a room other than the bedroom to practice
astral projection. A good time to do it is when no one else is in and make sure no one
is going to walk into the room when you're in astral flight.
Draw the shades or curtains and rid the room of distracting noises. Any type of
interruption could disrupt the state of relaxation you need to achieve.

3 Lie down and relax. Position yourself on your back in your chosen room. Close your
eyes and try to clear your mind of distracting thoughts. Concentrate on your body and
how it feels. The goal is to achieve a state of complete mind and body relaxation.
Flex your muscles and then loosen them. Start with your toes and work your way up
your body, gradually making your way to your head. Make sure every muscle is

converted by W eb2PDFConvert.com
completely relaxed when you are through.
Breathe deeply and exhale completely. Don't hold tension in your chest and shoulders,
just relax.
Focus your mind on your breathing. Don't get carried away with thoughts of outside
worries, and don't get preoccupied yet with the idea of your soul projecting from your
body. Just let yourself sink into relaxation.
It can be helpful to use a quartz crystal to raise and speed up your vibrations as
preparation. Gently hold the crystal on your third eye slightly above the centre of your
eyebrows with closed eyes and breathing deeply. Feel the vibrations and your head
clearing; you can envision golden, white, purple or any colour light if you like. During
the meditation and astral travelling you can hold the crystal in your hand or place it on
your chest or abdomen. The crystal will empower and protect you because of it's high
vibrations; negative energies have lower vibrations.

2 Moving the soul from the body

1 Reach a hypnotic state. This hypnotic state is normally known as the hypnagogic
state. Let your body and mind approach sleep, but don't completely lose consciousness.
Being at the edge of wakefulness and sleep, a hypnotic state, is necessary for astral projection
to occur. Reach this state using the following method:
Keeping your eyes closed, let your mind wander to a part of your body, such as your
hand, foot or a single toe.

converted by W eb2PDFConvert.com
Focus on the body part until you can visualize it perfectly, even with your eyes closed.
Continue focusing until all other thoughts fall away.

Use your mind to flex your body part, but do not physically move it. Visualize your toes
curling and uncurling, or your fingers clenching and unclenching, until it seems as
though they are physically moving.

converted by W eb2PDFConvert.com
Broaden your focus to the rest of your body. Move your legs, your arms, and your head
using only your mind. Keep your focus steady until you're able to move your whole
body in your mind alone.

2 Enter into a state of vibration. Many report feeling vibrations, which come in waves at
different frequencies, as the soul prepares to leave the body. Don't be afraid of the
vibrations, since the presence of fear might cause you to leave your meditative state; instead,
succumb to the vibrations as your soul prepares to leave your body.

converted by W eb2PDFConvert.com
3 Use your mind to move your soul from your body. Imagine in your mind the room in
which you are lying. Move your body in your mind to stand up. Look around yourself. Get
up off the bed and walk across the room, then turn around and look at your body on the bed.
Your OBE is successful if you feel as though you are gazing upon your body from
across the room, and that your conscious self is now separate from your body.
It takes a lot of practice to get to this point for some people, though for others it comes
as naturally as breathing. Either way it is possible for everyone if it is desired and
practised enough! If you have trouble completely lifting your soul from your body, try
lifting just a hand or a leg at first. Keep practising until you're able to move across the
room.

4 Return to your body. Your soul always remains connected to your body with an
invisible force, sometimes referred to as a "silver cord." Let the force guide your soul
back to your body. Re-enter your body. Move your fingers and toes - physically, not just in your
mind - and let yourself regain full consciousness.

Exploring the astral plane

1 Confirm that you are projecting your soul from your body. Once you have
mastered the act of projecting your soul from your body in the same room, you will want
to confirm that you were indeed in two separate planes.
Next time you practice the astral projection, don't turn around to look at your body.
Instead, leave the room and walk into another room in the house.
Examine an object in the other room, something that you had never noticed before in
the physical sense. Make a mental note of its color, shape and size, paying attention
to as many details as possible.

Return to your body. Physically go into the room you previously projected yourself into.
Walk to the article you examined during the astral travel. Can you confirm the details
you noted when you explored the object with your mind?

converted by W eb2PDFConvert.com
2 Explore further. During subsequent astral projection sessions, go to locations that are
less and less familiar to you. Each time, note details that you had never noticed before.
After each session, physically verify the details. After a few trips, you will be experienced
enough to travel to locations that are completely unfamiliar with the confidence that you have
actually performed astral projection.

3 Return to your body. Some say that astral projection is dangerous, especially when
one gets enough practice to explore unfamiliar places but it need not be. Those people
simply don't understand it or fear it because they don't use enough protection,.as long as you
ask for protection in your own way it'll be a good experience. Before you astral project it is nice
to imagine yourself bathed in a glowing, white light. Imagine it as a cloud around you or inside
you; this will protect you from other thought forms or negative energy forms.
There is so much to get into, but know that no harm will come to you unless you think it
will. The thrill of having an OBE keeps some people out of their bodies for long
periods of time, which is said to weaken the silver cord but the silver cord cannot be
weakened. It is pure energy and energy can't be eliminated or removed, only moved

converted by W eb2PDFConvert.com
from one place to another, or one form or another so don't worry about astral
travelling; it is natural, powerful and healing.
The silver cord can never be broken, but it is said that your soul can be delayed from
re-entering your body if you spend too much energy outside of it. Yet your soul and
body are so intrinsically entwined that the soul will naturally come back when it's right
to.
Some say that demons can inhabit the body while the soul is being projected. If you
fear this may happen, protect your body by blessing the room with a prayer before you
perform projection. It is only here say anyway and seeing as you'll have already asked
for light protection nothing bad will occur.
Your soul can also interact with other astral projections. Try it with a friend who has
practiced as much as you have. Some say astral sex is mind blowing. However,
remember to always return to your body.
It is possible to heal others during astral travel; this is a form of distance healing that is
very powerful. Envision the sick person, perhaps lying in their bed. It doesn't matter if
they're not physically in their bed while you're doing it because time and distance
becomes void when you're in the astral plane. Always ask for protection, healing
power and guidance from whoever you pray to and envision light; you can ask during
astral projection as and when you wish. See light in your hands as white and strong as
you can, and if you feel ready put one hand on their forehead and another on their
abdomen and pour the light into them. Your intentions must be pure and you should be
feeling nothing but love for them. Sometimes people will report back to you that
something amazing has happened to them, even though you didn't tell them you were
the source of it! Enjoy your astral journeys!

Tips

It's best not to be mentally or physically tired when attempting astral projection, as you will find it
hard to concentrate. Drowsy morning feelings work better than being tired after a long day.
Feel free to walk anywhere you would like. But do not go too far your first few times. If you are new
to an astral plane, walk/fly to closer locations first.
If you feel it's hard to get back to your body, just imagine yourself striking with your body at the
speed of light. You can come back from any place with in one second. Remember your soul is
free of distance and time.
When releasing your soul from your body, it can also help to imagine yourself all one dull color.
Now imagine your colorful soul escaping from your body slowly.
Visualize a white or yellowish light surrounding you while you Astral Project to protect yourself
from bad entities who may suck your energy if you let them. Also, you can try to raise your
vibrations.
You cannot be hurt mentally/physically by something in the Astral Plane while having an OBE.
Interactions while in the Astral Plane are unlimited.
Astral Projection can turn into whatever you want it to be. It can also make your growth in anything
spiritual raise quickly which is why you should not give up. Its pretty easy for what it can help you
do in the future.
If you're having difficulty getting into the hypnotic state, imagine stairs and become more relaxed
the longer you walk.

Warnings

Beliefs play the largest part in Astral Projection. If you believe that you are going to be
possessed, you may feel like you are possessed. If you feel like your "silver-cord" is "weak" and
that you can't return, you will feel stuck. Feelings and thoughts are instantly manifested in the
Astral Plane, anything you think/fear can seem to happen. Keep your thoughts positive. Don't try
to Astral Project after watching a scary movie.
