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.
