20 Astral Projection QA’s based on My Experiences

I heard of quite a few misunderstandings regarding what astral projection is and how to achieve it.  I think it may be a good idea to share my knowledge and experiences about some of the them.

(Q1) Astral projection is very rare. (A1) Astral projection is a very common phenomenon indeed. 5% to 10% of the world’s population has experienced a conscious out-of-body experience at least once. This means around 6 million in the U.K or as much as 30 million in the United States.

(Q2) Astral projection is always spontaneous. You cannot learn it. (A2) Yes, you can learn to astral project at will. There are countless techniques that teach you how to have an out-of-body experience. Since every individual is different, no particular technique is best for everybody. You have to find out which method is best for you. Just like anything in life, you have to practice and get good at it.

(Q3) Not everyone can learn to astral project. It is only for a selected few. (A3) Yes, anyone can astral project. But it requires some practice, consistency and open-mindedness. Just like you learn to walk, ride a bicycle or swim, astral projection is a skill you need to learn.

(Q4) Only adults can astral project because they are more matured. (A4) Not at all. Age is never a factor for astral projection. It’s a fact that children astral project more than adults. The reason is that children are innocent and they believe everything is possible. So they achieve astral projection more easily.

But we adults do not believe everything easily. The sooner we can be open-minded and start believing, the easier it would be to project. But age, in itself, is never a roadblock for projection. The only hindrance is your level of belief.

(Q5) Astral projection is not safe. (A5) Astral projection is a natural experience reported in every culture and society of the world. It is safe for most people. But anyone who has acute psychological problems should avoid it.

(Q6) It takes several years to achieve a conscious astral projection. (A6) Since every individual is different, no one can guarantee how long it can take. Some achieve it in the first try and others do not achieve it even in two years! But if tried consistently, about 30 days is a fair enough time to experience at least one projection.

(Q7) It is possible that you may not be able to get back into the physical body. (A7) You see, every night when we sleep, our astral body is out of our physical body. We are just not conscious about it. During astral projection, we are aware of the fact that we’re in another dimension. Since after every night’s sleep we can easily get back into the body, we can do the same after astral projection too.

The surprising fact is that it is difficult to stay out of body. Getting back into your body is instant and automatic. Your astral body is connected to your physical body by a silver cord, which ensures that you can always get back in.

(Q8) You can get possessed during astral projection. (A8) This is a very common question in most people’s minds. No. There is no danger of you being possessed by other entities. Your astral body is attached to your physical body by a silver cord. No one else can sever it and enter your body.

(Q9) Astral projection changes a person’s religious beliefs. (A9) Published in 1992, there was an in-depth study of 350 participants done by Dr. Melvin Morse. According to that study, out-of-body experiences did not seem to alter one’s religious beliefs. In fact, most people reported that their religious beliefs have been confirmed and strengthened by their out-of-body experiences.

(Q10) You cannot go very far when out of the body. (A10) There is no limit defined as to how far you can go away from the physical body. But it is important to note that there are certain areas that you do not readily have access to unless you have spiritually graduated to those areas. There are several planes apart from the astral plane. You cannot visit a higher vibratory plane in a lower vibratory body.

(Q11) There is no cord that connects the astral and the physical bodies. (A11) There is definitely a silver cord that connects the two bodies. You may or may not be able to see it, but it is always there. Even the Bible talks about it.

Through the silver cord, transference of energy takes place and it gives life to the physical. As long as the person is alive, this cord is intact. It can be likened to the umbilical cord attaching a child to the mother.

(Q12) Other astral entities sever the silver cord. (A12) No. The Silver Cord cannot be severed by anyone. This only happens when the hour of death has arrived to a person and that comes by law.

(Q13) The astral plane is full of dangerous negative entities. (A13) Yes, there are negative entities in the astral plane but they are not dangerous. They can do no harm to you in any way. Remember, in the astral plan, your thoughts have power. If you don’t like something, you can always change them into something you want. By not being afraid, you can make these entities vanish or turn them into something more pleasant. If any of these entities do scare you, at the most you will slump back in your physical.

Many of these negative entities are self-created. They are nothing but manifestations of our own fears that appear as thought-forms. In order to avoid bumping into any of these entities, you should attempt projection in a good mood. The rule in the astral plane is: Like attracts like. If you are in a negative or bad mood, you will attract negative thought-forms. But if you project with positive and loving thoughts, you will most likely attract positive and loving entities.

(Q14) When a person wakes up after projection, he feels really tired. (A14) During astral projection, the physical body sleeps normally, so when you wake up, you feel very refreshed.

(Q15) We cannot touch objects in the astral. (A15) Yes, you can touch and feel astral objects on the astral plan, just as you can touch physical ones in the physical plane. But in the astral plan, under normal circumstances, you cannot touch physical objects. If you attempt, your hand will pass right through it. That’s why you have heard that your astral body can pass through walls!

(Q16) It is necessary to be good at visualization. (A16) Visualization is not a necessary ingredient for projection. But if the projector can increase his ability to visualize it will help him progress faster.

(Q17) Drugs be used to help induce projection. (A17) Some kinds of drugs do induce projection. But I do not recommend any kinds of drugs because they harm your astral vehicle. The key to a productive out-of-body experience is complete control and control is the first thing lost when you use any kind of mind-altering substance. Drugs curtail your spiritual growth. They take you to the lower astral plane full of confusion and disorientation. It is dull, gloomy, and full of negative energy. The lower astral is very unlike the vibrant, progressive, positive astral we are seeking to achieve.

Why contaminate the biological vehicle when effective results can be achieved naturally? Don’t put your body at risk. If there is real desire to experience astral projection then that desire, along with consistent practice will get you there.

(Q18) It is impossible to meet with other human beings during projection. (A18) That’s not true. It is possible to meet other human beings. But if you want to talk them meaningfully, they should be conscious. If we find them and they are dreaming they will look drunk! They may not recognize us but later when they awake, they may remember seeing us in a dream.

(Q19) When we are astral projecting, by taking the name of a friend, say “John”, by mistake we can visit some other person by the same name “John”. (A19) In the astral, your thoughts are the key to where you want to go. Your higher self knows whom you want to visit and take you to the correct person. Here, the name of the person doesn’t matter at all. Since you are thinking of that person, you will reach there.

(Q20) Astral projection doesn’t prove life after death. (A20) People, who have experienced proper conscious out-of-body experiences even once, start to strongly believe in life after death. Finding themselves outside their physical bodies and still functioning, still able to see, hear, touch, even smell and taste, still able to do everything and more, how can anyone deny that life goes on?

Astral Travel

When we talk about astral travel, we are not referring to our physical body traveling around in a time machine as shown in the movie.  We refer to our astral body, which is a tool of the self to perceive other frequency realities. Astral body is one more form of our consciousness like our physical body.

In normal condition, our consciousness is spread through out the physical body. When we receive sufficient amount of energy and when we “feel” to perceive the other frequency realities, the consciousness moves in the form of astral body. We perceive the astral body (or out-of-body) experiences unconsciously in sleep, which we call as dreams. One can perceive out-of-body experiences consciously in meditation.

In meditation, after receiving abundant energy, the consciousness that is spread everywhere in the body starts moving towards a point. While consciousness is moving, we experience jerks in the physical body, rotation in the physical body. Movements may be experienced in different parts of the body or some times, one may experience as if the whole body is rotating.  We feel as if our body is floating. We don’t ‘feel’ the hands and legs. We “feel” lightness of the body like feather. These are known as astral movements.

By doing more and more meditation, we get more and more energy. The consciousness forming like an astral body, starts rotating very fast which causes heavy movements in physical body. After the movements, the astral body starts coming out of the physical body with a link called “silver chord”.  Silver Chord is nothing but a high vibrant consciousness which transfers the messages to physical body to astral body and vice versa. With this, we do astral travel.

Astral travel goes beyond space and time to known and unknown frequencies. By doing astral travel we get highest knowledge and understanding of the self, and start perceiving new dimensions. In astral travel, our astral body can pass through all physical materials, all elements like earth, water, fire, wind and ether. Astral body can go to all other frequency dimensions without any limitations.

After coming out of the body, the meditator “sees” his own physical body. By this he gets great understanding. He understands that he is not only the body, but he “stays” in the body. This is a great understanding. By traveling a lot, our limitedness will vanish and we will understand that we are unlimited. By this experience only, we understand that we are the consciousness, that we are unlimited, and the new dimensions of life.

An Poem on Astral Travel

by admin in Astral Travel Tags:

The only hope in this endless night
Is to follow you through the shadows of the deepest blue
Away from the light
I hear your voice is calling me: “Don’t be afraid”
But there’s something deep inside of me
Forcing me to turn away
Take my hand, don’t turn away, I need you to stay
I know a place where the light and the dark can become as one
This loneliness is killing me
Is there a place we both can live?
You’re the dancer in the dark
You’re the child of the light
You’re the sinner of all time
You’re the saint with wings so white
You’re the distant shape in the night

— What an exotic astral travel experience !

Astral Projection for Beginners – 5 Things Beginners Must Learn

Now that you know the basics, let me show you what you must learn as a beginner.  If you want to astral project, you must understand that astral projection is easy; anybody can do it! In other words, astral projection is not a special gift given to a chosen few. Even you can astral project, given that you have the patience, grit, determination, and the will to do so. There are plenty of resources on astral projection for beginners.

1. Learn

This is one of the basic astral projection tips for beginners. Learn as much as possible from books, ebooks, articles, and so on. Once you know everything about astral projection, you can successfully discard all fears, misunderstandings, and misconceptions you might have about the subject. Such negatives will only hinder your progress.

2. Train your mind

Train your mind to be still. Request people to stay away from you for some time. Go to a quiet place and become conscious of the noises inside your head. Examine your troubles, problems, hopes, and desires. Seek solutions to these problems and let them go. It doesn’t matter if the solution seems absurd; just take it as an excuse to let go of your problem.

Training one’s mind requires tremendous time and patience, and you must practice everyday in order to achieve it.

3. Relax

Complete relaxation is important because astral projection happens only when the body is fully asleep and the mind is fully awake. Adopt a relaxation technique that suits you and learn how to relax each and every muscle of your body.

4. Improve your concentration

You will never be able to astral project if you cannot focus on what you are doing. There are plenty of concentration-enhancing exercises that you can do.

For instance, focus on a boring sound. Avoid listening to music because it is easier to focus on music. Listen to something boring such as the ticking of a clock and train your mind to focus on it. Alternatively, you can gaze at the flame of a candle and gently push those stray thoughts away.

5. Use an exit technique

Once you have become good at the above points, you then need an astral projection technique that you can use to come out of body. There are many good techniques available. So use the one that suits you.

With practice you will find yourself out of body, exploring the astral realms! And it can really be a wonderful experience.  Trust me!

What is Astral Projection? – Exposing The Facts

What is astral projection exactly? The term “astral projection” is used to describe a phenomenon in which a person’s consciousness leaves his/her physical body and travels outside independent of it. This experience is also called out-of-body experience (OOBE), since the consciousness or mind or soul or astral body or whatever you wish to call it leaves the body.

Hundreds of thousands of people claim to have experienced an astral projection. Real-life accounts of OOBEs have been published in various astral traveling books in the sixties and seventies.

The idea of consciousness leaving the physical body, however, is not new. The ancients knew exactly what astral projection is, perhaps more than we do now. The Classical, Medieval, Renaissance, Theosophist, and Rosicrucian philosophies spoke about the astral body as a link between the soul and the physical body.

The ancient Egyptians spoke about the ability of the soul to leave the physical body in a subtle body, which they referred to as “ka”.   The Egyptians also mentioned the silver cord, which links the astral body to the physical body throughout the life of an individual and is broken only at death. The Chinese and the Indians also knew about astral traveling and wrote about it in their texts.

However, if you ask the scientists and the rationalists what an astral projection is, they might tell you that it is a “figment of the imagination”, “a trick of an over imaginative mind”, “hallucination”, or “something that cannot be taken seriously” because there is “no evidence” for it.  Ironically, they can’t even find “evidence” for dreams while everybody knows dreams are not “figment of the imagination”.  Neurologists think that an OOBE takes place when the brain confuses between visual and tactile inputs.

How can people achieve an astral projection? Most of the time, it happens spontaneously. But sometimes, it happens in extreme situations such as tragic accidents or mental traumas. Drug and alcohol abuse can also lead to astral projection. Recently, a technological development called binaural beats claims to be an aid in achieving an astral projection.

There are innumerable techniques for people who wish to have the experience. Some commonly used techniques are relaxation, meditation, visualization, and so on. Adopt one that best suits you and experience this amazing reality for yourself.

Astral Projection Basics – Things You Must Know Before You Project

21 Apr 2011 Leave a Comment

by admin in Astral Projection Tags:

Ever wondered about the purpose of astral projection? Why do so many people strive so hard to achieve a projection?  To answer these questions, let me go back to the basics of astral projection.

In the process of astral projection, your consciousness or awareness leaves your body. In other words, your awareness shifts from your physical body to space. Since this awareness cannot be seen, it is also called the spirit form.

Why should you project?

You stand to gain a whole load of benefits if you achieve an astral projection.

First, you learn that you are not  just your physical body.

Out-of-body experiences (OOBE) teach you that there is something more to life than just the physical realm. It ascertains what you might just have believed in or wondered about all your life…that there is something more about which you know nothing. Learning to project not only fills you with peace and self-confidence, but also strengthens your belief in the after life. So don’t hide in your own little box.

Second, you can heal yourself.

Your mind can actually hinder the healing process. When you remove your consciousness from your physical body, it can easily heal itself without any interference from your mind.  You will experience the wonders of life.

Third, you can solve your problems.

In astral projection, you see things clearly and from a different perspective. Viewing things from a third-person perspective greatly assists you in solving serious life problems.

Alternatively, you can also enlist the aid of your spirit guides, guardian angels, or deceased loved ones. Their wise words will not only soothe you, but also help you live a better life.

Fourth, you can develop your self.

People who have learned to project have reported enhanced mental clarity, better perception and memory, and even better intelligence. Astral projection can actually help you grow at a spiritual level.

Does astral projection really work?

Yes, astral projection really works; moreover, it has been proven in controlled laboratory conditions, where natural projectors have been closely observed.

Projecting into the astral is something natural. We all project, but unconsciously in our sleep. So, why should you be afraid of learning to project consciously? After all, it is something you do every night in your sleep!

Learn astral projection, and an entire world of beauty and knowledge will be opened to you. You just need eagerness to begin at the earliest possible. You can easily learn irrespective of your nationality, culture, way of life, religious beliefs, and so on.

Excited ?  Let’s begin…
