Astral Travel Explained

Thursday, May 21st, 2009

The last time you were having a dream where you were flying, you were experiencing what astral travel was like. Astral travel is the way the astral body moves about in the astral plane, and it does so by flying. You simply think about where it is you want to go and what it is you want and once your physical mind and body are asleep the subconscious mind and astral body are off to fulfill your desires.

It is important to know that astral travel is not the same thing as dreaming. Dreaming is a more scientific condition. It is essentially your mind’s way of dealing with the stresses of the day, playing them out in various ways as you dream. Regular dreaming can sometimes be remembered, and sometimes not, but there is a definite difference between that and astral travel.

The dreams that you wake up and remember really well are actual astral travel experiences. It is highly recommended that you keep a journal of these dreams. Whether you wake up in the middle of the night or first thing in the morning you should write down what it is you remember. Granted at first, what you remember may not make much sense at first. However, it will all come together later down the road.

Astral travel is something which is beneficial, just as are those dream which you can’t remember. This makes it important to keep a diary of your astral travel. The benefits will vary from individual to individual, since no two people have the same astral travel experiences.

Writing down you astral travel experiences and attempting to gain knowledge from them as a whole will show you things about yourself you would have never guessed. Astral travel will show you, in essence, a view into your very soul. This self-awareness will give you a sense of peace and well-being. You’ll be exercising parts of your brain that are never used, and so you will be smarter for it.

Once practicing astral travel, you should see a significant boost in your telepathic and psychic strength. Anyone who works at astral projection will tell you that their psychic abilities increase the more they practice. They can more easily sense sprits and use their telepathic skills.

This is due to the fact that when you astral project and astral travel you are tapping into spiritual energies that you ignored before.

Even skeptics who didn’t believe that astral projection and astral travel were real, experienced that ability to see and read peoples’ auras.

Finally, a fourth benefit that most people enjoy is the pure and simple excitement and adventure that comes with astral travel. The ability to go wherever it is they want to go and do what they want it is a freeing experience.

With all of these benefits to improve one’s life, why aren’t more people practicing astral travel. The answer is that most people are under the false assumption that astral travel and astral projection are only for a gifted few. When the fact is that every person that is alive today has the ability to astral project.

Whether you realize it or not, you have already astral traveled. You’ve had those flying dreams too – they are astral travel experiences.

To unlock all of the benefits of astral travel, the secret is to learn to do so consciously. If you know that you are astral traveling, you will then have full control over where your astral body goes and what it does.

There are techniques that you can learn on your own through books offine or ebooks and other resources online. These were created by people who practice astral travel. Learning to astral travel is not as difficult as people want to believe that it is. This is a natural ability that you were born with, you just forgot how to use it and need to fine tune your ability.

Try To Astral Project – The Beginners Guide

Tuesday, May 12th, 2009

We are all born with the ability to astral project. Practice is the only reason some astral project and some do not. It is an ancient art and has been practiced for centuries deserving the same respect as yoga or meditation. Astral projection is known by different names and types. There are many different techniques to achieve astral projection.

The first type of astral projecting that should be talked about is lucid dreaming. We all know what lucid dreaming is, it is when you are consciously dreaming. One form of this conscious dreaming is astral projection. You can do this rather simply. What you need to do is when you are dreaming is realize that you are dreaming and say to yourself in the dream ‘I am dreaming.’

If you keep doing this, you will become conditioned to being aware when you are dreaming. It may be hard for a beginner to astral project with this random practice.

You need to know that astral projection is real. You should also know that you have astral projected already, you simply were not aware that is what had happened. Have you ever woken up from a dream either in the middle of the night or in the morning and remembered a ‘dream’ that you had the night before really well. As if you had lived it. That was an astral projection.

Being able to astral project begins with self-affirmation. You need to believe that you have this ability. You’ll have to eliminate all of the doubt that’s been preventing you from astral projecting.

Meditating and practicing relaxation techniques will also help you astral project. Meditating is actually an ideal way to prepare your mind and body for astral projection. All you have to do is find a meditative practice that you can follow easily and that you will be able to stick with.

Find a quite place to relax, a comfortable chair or lie down, making sure you will not be interrupted. Clear your mind of all thoughts, picture a blank screen. Pay attention to your breathing, take slow deep breathes. Imagine all your troubles leaving your body when you breathe out. This will put you in a deeply relaxed state that will enable you to astral project.

Your focus should remain on your breathing. Breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth. As you become more relaxed, your breathing will become deeper and slower.

Focus on each part of the body, starting at the farthest points, your toes. You can do one of two things here. You can either tense and relax each part of your body as you move up the body or you can say as you exhale, ‘My toes are relaxing, I am relaxing.’

You’ll begin to feel heavy and limp as you release all of the tension and negative energy. After you have relaxed your entire body, then it’s time to move on to the next step in starting to astral project.

By now your mind and body are ready for sleep, you need to stay alert. To do this many practitioners recommend that you come up with a line that you can repeat to yourself such as ‘I fly, I fly, I fly,’ you decide what you are going to say as there isn’t a right or wrong thing.

The mind tends to get bored when it is not doing anything, which can mean that it will drift and find something else to focus on. You don’t want that to happen. If the mind wanders then you need to quit the session. To help bring the mind back repeat your phrase.

There are different ways to achieve a state of altered consciousness. You can repeat your chosen phrase or do it another way. Imagine a glowing light, and then imagine you entering it and transforming yourself into this body of light. This is referred to as the body of light technique.

When you begin to astral project three things will happen to let you know. You will have a feeling of movement. You will notice different colors and lights in front of you. Your eyes will be closed as you are still in your chair or bed. When you see the lights this is when you are passing into the astral zone. Voices will tell you to go on and encourage you or tell you to stop now as a warning. When you hear these voices, it means you have succeeded in astral projecting.

What You Need To Know About Astral Travel

Saturday, May 9th, 2009

Have you ever had a dream you were flying high above the trees? Have you ever been in such an intense daydream that you thought you were rising out of your body, then up through the ceiling of your house, only to be suddenly jolted awake? You’ve reached a state called astral travel, where you can travel outside of your body to anywhere you want to go. It is your mind having fun while your body sleeps!

Astral travel is not to be confused with dreaming. Dreaming is your way of allowing yourself to work through problems and frustrations you may have encountered throughout the day. This is a very positive defense mechanism courtesy of your subconscious mind. These types of dreams are mostly dreams you cannot remember, or possibly remember only in bits and pieces.

Your experiences of astral projection are actually the dreams you can remember. It is a worthwhile investment to keep a dream journal to record your dreams. You can do this when you wake in the middle of the night as well as when you first wake up in the morning. Be sure to write down as much as you can remember of these dreams. Even if they do not make much sense to you, write them down anyway. Before long, they will make sense to you.

Regular dreams help to relieve daily stress and allow you to keep your sanity. Astral travel is just as beneficial to you and your healthy wellbeing. It is essential that you record the dreams you do remember in a dream journal. Keep in mind that since we are all different, that our experiences with astral travel will vary as well. We can each find something beneficial from practicing astral traveling.

The primary benefits of writing down your astral projection experiences stem from an expansion of your spirituality. Through astral projection, you will become more aware of your surroundings and the inner workings of your soul. Once you truly know yourself, you will have an overall sense of well-being and peace. And because astral projection causes us to use parts of our brains that are seldom used, it will make you a sharper person enhancing memory and mental awareness.

Astral travel can also sharpen your psychic abilities and even make latent psychic abilities surface. Many who astral travel regularly say that it has increased their capacities for telepathy, precognition and sensing the presence of spirits.

Astral travel can do this for you because it makes use of previously untapped spiritual energies which you had not made an effort to develop.

Even skeptics have been known to change their minds after practicing astral projection techniques, given the ability to read the auras of other people.

And it shouldn’t be forgotten that astral travel is a thrilling experience – it’s very empowering to know that while astral traveling that you can go anywhere and do anything that you like.

It is a wonder that astral projection isn’t practiced by more people. The truth is that most people are afraid or feel silly trying it out because they don’t feel they have the psychic sensitivity to do it. But everyone can use astral projection to their benefit, if only they give it a try.

It is likely that you’ve experienced some astral travel in your lifetime, as stated above, either through your remembered dreams or daydreams. You have flown out of your body before, whether you like it or not!

The best way to gain the benefits of astral projection is to simply allow these experiences to happen freely, and try to blend with these experiences and to gain some sort of control over them. Through this mental exercise, you will get stronger in mind and body.

You will find that many individuals have introduced some interesting and creative books and videos that can guide you while you learn to practice astral projection. Although this is a natural ability that anyone can do on their own, many have forgotten how to astral project as they moved on from childhood. Do not be discouraged, however since you can relearn and fine-tune your astral travel abilities.
