Astral projection is an ability that everyone has, whether they know it or not. Many people actually do it while sleeping, they are just not aware of it. If you want to learn to astral project, what you are actually learning is how to consciously do this so you can control where you go and what you do.
We will assume right now that you know what the astral body is and what the astral plane is. The purpose here is to offer a few different ways to learn how to astral project. Astral projection is a personal experience, so it is important that you figure out which techniques will work best for you.
The first technique is one that you can do when you are in bed and getting ready to go to sleep. This is a simple five step process.
*Relax your body completely. In order to reach this deep level of relaxation, lie down comfortably, and begin with your toes. Tense them for a moment, and then consciously relax every muscle. Work your way through your body all the way up to your head. This may seem unfamiliar or uncomfortable at first, but you will get used to it. Alternatively, you may find your body feels very heavy. Either way, it is perfectly normal. Your body just isn't used to relaxing in this manner.
*Second, you need to deepen and slow your breathing. There is a technique that is used for meditation, and what you want to do it breathe in deeply and pay attention to the way the air feels as it enters your lungs and moves down through to your diaphragm. Then you exhale completely, slowly and as you feel the air leaving your lungs and going out of the body you are relaxing your body and mind. It is important that as you breathe in deeply that you do not fall asleep, to help avoid falling asleep you may want to focus on the center of your forehead.
*Third, pay attention to how you feel physically. You should feel as if your body were very heavy. It should feel like it would be very difficult to move about. Once you feel these sensations, turn your attention to your astral body. Your astral body should feel light and weightless. It should feel free. Close your eyes to see your astral body. You are as weightless as bubbles or feathers floating on the breeze. The weight of your physical body does not affect the lightness of your astral body.
*Now is when many people who use this technique report that they are able to see the dark room then are in even though their eyes are closed. The room seems to be cloaked in a purple light. If you are able to get to this step then you need to focus your attention on the ceiling light.
*The fifth step is where you want to imagine that you are pulling the ceiling light to you. As you are pulling the light to you, you will probably feel as though you are floating. It is important that you stay conscious. Most likely you will now be aware that you are floating, you might even be able to see your physical body asleep below you now.
Wow you just had a successful astral projection session! Now you can begin astral traveling. If this method did not work well for you, try out the next one.
This method is called gazing. Try this at bedtime. You need something to focus on, such as a picture, the moon, a crystal, or some other object.
Once you've chosen your object, lie down and get comfortable. Turn your attention to the object. As you keep staring at it, your eyelids should begin to feel heavy. No matter what, keep staring at the object. While your eyes will tend to close eventually, you should still be able to see the object. While you continue to stare, you may feel the urge to sit or stand up. When you do get up, don't be surprised if you see your physical form peacefully asleep.
Don't get discouraged if you don't succeed the first few times you try them. Frustration will increase your anxiety levels, which will prevent you from relaxing and being able to project astrally. If you find that neither of these two techniques work for you, don't worry there are others that you can try.
It is very important that you understand that it is not really the tools or techniques you use to astral project that may be holding you back. The real stumbling block no matter what method you use is your own subconscious mind. Give your subconscious reassurances that it is acceptable for your spirit body to leave your physical body for a short time. Affirmations are a very effective way to send this message to your subconscious mind. Once your subconscious mind accepts this, astral projection will be very easy for you.
There are also a few other short cuts to help you astral project very rapidly. Without them it can take a long time to get into the right state of mind but if you use them it can happen very fast after your first attempt!
Hypnosis is a very good way to help you fully relax. If you use a quality guided hypnosis recording, it can also relieve you of any stress you may feel about forgetting one of the steps. A good recording will guide you right through, letting you relax and listen.
There have also been recent developments in sound technology with something called 'binaural beats' where different sound frequencies are played in each ear. This very quickly puts you into the deeply relaxed meditative state required for successful astral projection.
Remember that being able to astral project is not as difficult as most people believe it is. It is a natural ability that you were born with, and all of these tools and techniques just help you to fine tune an ability which is already there!
