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.
We're going to assume that you already know what the astral plane is and that you know about your astral body. Instead, we'll go ahead and discuss methods that can help you learn how to astral project. Everyone does best with different techniques, so you may want to try different ones until you find one which is best 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: 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; 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; 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; 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 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!
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.
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. - 31521
