Astral Projection?

Question

I'm trying to learn how to do astral projection. Can anyone give me advice??

Answer 1

Don't listen to the junk which the top contributor told.

Practice meditation & think high thoughts while sleeping or meditating! In 2 or 3 cases it has resulted in death so therefore, be careful! This is the only way to do astral projection. Soul can go out of your body while staying alive only if you're very deeply meditating.

Answer 2

The key is acceptance. The strongest force that will prevent you from astral projection is believeing that there is any reason you can't. Actually, if you don't expect it to be difficult, it will be easy. The first time I went somewhere I jsut kind of did it. I didn't say, will this be hard? Am I doing it right? Should I relax? No, I just let it happen. So all this stuff about relaxation, breathing etc. is a tool to make it easier but not necessary if you know you can do astral projection.

Answer 3

Astral projection (or astral travel) is an interpretation of out-of-body experiences (OBEs) achieved either awake or via lucid dreaming, deep meditation, or the use of psychotropics. People who say they experience astral projection often say that their consciousness or soul has transferred into an astral body, which moves in tandem with the physical body in a "parallel world" known as the astral plane. The concept of astral projection has been around for thousands of years, dating back to ancient China.

Schools of thought
There are two general schools of thought on the nature of astral projection. These can broadly be defined as the mystical model and the phasing model.


Phasing model
The phasing model, which was defined by Robert Monroe, holds the belief that it is impossible to actually leave your body in the truest sense of the word, and that the astral planes and the physical world are merely points on the long spectrum of consciousness. When a person projects, they actually "phase" into another area of consciousness and the locales it contains. This can be likened to tuning a radio to another station. One of the initial signposts representing a phase shift away from physical reality has been labeled the state of focus 10 (mind awake/body asleep). This viewpoint can be seen as a logical progression of the philosophy that external reality is actually an internally created state (see Postmodernism; Buddhism).


Mystical model
The mystical model includes a large variety of belief systems and astral maps, but they are tied together by their belief that astral projection takes place outside of the actual physical body. In this model, a more subtle energy body is believed to carry the consciousness outside of the physical body. In their book Projection of the Astral Body, Carrington and Muldoon detail how consciousness is transferred into a secondary "energy" body (the etheric body) to allow travel into the astral planes. This idea is also described by other authors such as Robert Peterson in his book Out of Body Experiences: How to have them and what to expect (chapters 5, 17, 22), and Robert Bruce in his book Astral Dynamics (pages 31-33, 404-410, 538). Bruce expanded on this idea in his book Astral Dynamics, stating that higher planes of existence are reached through the progressive projection of subtler energy bodies from previous projected bodies (pages 33-42).

The subtle body is attached to the physical body by means of an energetic connection which usually takes the appearance of a silver cord 'plugging' into the chakra system like an umbilical cord. Robert Peterson describes this in chapter 13 of his book Out of Body Experiences, Robert Bruce in his book Astral Dynamics (pages 27, 52-53, 84, 397-403,544) and by Carrington and Muldoon in their book Projection of the astral body.

Answer 4

i've been trying for 20 years. it hasn't worked. (not like the ghost-floatin, magic-carpet ridin' bs you see in the movies)but I am nevertheless in a different place now than where I was then, we are connected to _ourselves_ past and future, here or there whether we are "alive" in this body or not. if you "project astrally" are you still, whether by your own will or not, where you are _supposed_ to be?

Answer 5

My advice: Wait until you are a little older before getting involved. You are still at a very impressionable age and this kind of thing can have serious psychological consequences if you're not emotionally ready.

Answer 6

Don't try too hard or you'll strain yourself. Go somewhere free of distractions and noise. Do not do this before bed or you'll likely fall asleep. Ok. In your mind, take a journey. Use your senses to tell your brain what you see, hear, smell, feel, etc. You have detach yourself from your physical senses and environment and then use your brain to recreate the environment you know. That's about the best I can explain it.

Answer 7

My advise, even if it is possible to leave your body, why would you want to do so until you are dead? If you do achieve it, who nows what may try to take it over while you are out of it. It's yours stay in it and keep it safe. Very safe.

Answer 8

Accordingto Silvia Brown and my expereinces it happens during deep relaxation usually right before you go to sleep.Just relax close your eyes take slow deep breaths,and lose out all other external stimulis.Remember to say a prayer to the Lord for a safe flight in and out of your body.

Answer 9

"Journeys Out of the Body" by Robert Monroe is a book that may be of some help. My copy is still in storage so I can't tell you the publisher or copyright date. sorry.
