Astral Projection, By Bubbling_Stream:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A Beginner's guide to Astral Projection
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


First of all, we have to know what Astral Projection is. Astral Projection is simply the transferring of the consciousness from the physical body to the astral body.

Now that we know what it is, lets learn how to do it.

Desire: Desire is a big part of Astral Projection. If you only do this because you are curious, you probably wont be too succsesful. You have to want to do this, whether to see someone far away, heal someone, go to crazy places, ect.

Fear: Many people fear that their body will be possessd or that you will die. Know that nothing can happen to you while you are doing this. So unless you die in your sleep from a heart attack or something, you will be safe. To be able to Astral Project correctly, you must face you fears. Know that you WILL come back from this.

Concentration: A hard thing for almost anyone. You have to keep focused and not let your mind wonder. Have you ever just sat in the quiet and heard a high pitched, kinda squeeky noise in your ear? Keep focusing on it. It is said that after about 3 minutes of just focusing on this noise, you will begin to feel the vibrations. Another important thing is, do you think things in your mind like, "I wonder if i'm close", or "This is fun" or something else like that? Try not to do that.
It distracts your mind, and you need all the concentration you can get.

Relaxation: To fully get into Focus 10 (body asleep, mind awake) you have to be relaxed. It is hard to Astral Project when you are under alot of stress, or there is alot of things going on in your life. Minimize the noise and clear your mind before you try to Astral Project.

Focus 10: Have you ever not been able to feel your body when you wake up? Like you have to tell yourself "Wake up body" before you can get out of bed? That's what Focus 10 is. It is important to be relaxed when trying to acheive this because if you are too strained, you just "wake up". Try not to actually fall all the way asleep. If you see images flashing across your mind, focus on them, but do not go into dreamy la-la land. Just keep your concentration.

Patient: Being able to Astral Project correctly takes time and effort. You usually cannot master it in a week. You have to practice the concentration and relaxation. This can sometimes take months, maybe years, unless you are one of the special people who has wonderful concentration, and can separate fromt their body very easily. If you are one of those people, good for you! If you are not, be patient and practice. you'll get it eventually.

Ok, now time for the fun stuff!

Separation: There really is no way to prepare for this. It is different for everyone. Error, patient, and trial are the best teachers. However, you can expect to feel some shaking or vibrating. Do not fear, this means you are getting close.

The first time you feel that, you will probably be so shocked that you will throw yourself out of it. If you do manage to hang on, do not fight it. The vibrations mean that you are getting close.

Usually, when the vibrations start, you can raise your astral hands and feet. They are the first to go because there are really no primary chakras there. The head is usually the last part to disconnect. That is because your head holds your strongest connection to your physical body. Sometimes, your head even gets stuck, while the rest of your astral body is just floating up above you. This happens to alot of people, so do not be afraid if that happens to you. There are a few methods to get yourself unstuck if that ever happens to you.

1. Rollout. This is just like rolling out of bed. Let your astral body just fall to the floor. You cannot be harmed, so do not fear rolling out of you body.

2. Arching your back and bucking yourself out. This is just pretty much throwing your astral head out of your body. This takes quite a bit of will power.

3. Grab something solid and pull your head out. It does not matter how far away the thing is, you're just using it like a crutch to get your head out.

4. Rise and move. You can usually just "will" yourself out of your body. With time, this gets easier. Kinda like how elastic will eventually get streched out and loser, so will the magnectic force holding your astral body to your physical. Again, it just takes time and practice.

Ok so during separation, you may hear some noises. They can be poping, crackling, hissing, and, on rare occasions, screaming. Do not be afraid of these noises, nothing can hurt you in your astral form. Just ignore them.

When you are separated, try to move away from your body. Until you move far away enough, you may experience some of these things:

1. Being pulled back to your body. It is the magnectic force that keeps you attached to your body that does that. Fight it the best you can. As you move farther away from your body, it pulls less. Some people say it is even like being drunk (not like anyone on here knows what that feels like rofl).

2. Astral blindness. Do not be afraid of this, it is only when you are within about 10 feet of your body. Just move away from your body and you will see! Nothing can hurt you, so you don't have to worry about bumping into something and hurting youself. Most people Astral Project in their room or another familiar place, so they can just navigate around the room untill they can see. You may also be wobbly. This will go away with the blindness.

3. There are also some auditory distractions. Sometimes, when you are still close to your body, you can hear radiowaves. These are from things like talking or music. There my also be some buzzing in your astral ears that sounds like a hornet is flying around there. This only happens when you are close to your body and will go away.

4. Spouses. If they are bugging you, just ignore them and move away. They will most likely not even remember you in your astral form.

Taking off: Once you are separated from your body, you can take off. When you begin, you will probably want to just do the traditional through the front door thing. As you get more experienced, you will be able to just float up through the roof. Do not worry if you are afraid of heights, you will get over it in time. It can be hard because you are not used to the speed, colors, and sounds. So what do you do to travel to places? Just think about them. You can go to places, see people and all sorts of stuff. You can even go to the moon if you want to.

Good luck and have fun!


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Q+A (frequently asked questions)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Here are 5 of the most important questions (in my opinion) that are asked about Astral Projection.

1. Question: Can you touch or change a particular object in the astral? Say, if it is a piece of paper, can you write? If you can, will it be in the altered condition when you return to the physical world?

Answer: Yes you can write on things and move things around. However, they will not stay that way for long in the physical world.

2. Question:Can you see yourself when you astral travel? How do you look? What clothes are you wearing (same as in the physical plane?) etc?

Answer: You cannot see your physical body while in the astral. That is because it is on a different plain. As for the other part, most people do not pay attention but believe that you do have clothes on.

3. Question: Can you speak with the dead people that you meet?

Answer: It depends on where the people are vibrationally.

4. Question: When you are in the astral world, can you meet people in the physical world? If so, can you communicate with them in any way?

Answer: Not usually. It is just like how it is with your body but the other way around. They usually cannot see you. If they can, and they communicate with you, it is extremely rare.

5. Question: When are you best able to leave your body?

Answer: In the morning. It is usefull to be able to sleep in aswell. Try to Astral Project when you are not tired, kind of like when you meditate.

Tips to make Astral Projection easier
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Here are some things that you might find make it easier to Astral Project.

1. Say affirmations before you go to sleep at night. Say things like, "I will Astral Project tonight" over and over agian untill you fall asleep.

2. Start reading books/research it. This will "sink it in" to your subconscious. This will make it easier to make it a reality.

3. Start keeping a dream/astral projection journal. That way, you can look back on things. It also works in the same way as the verbal affirmation.

4. Review personal habits. You may have to start going to bed very early, so that you wake up earlier and have time to "sleep in".

5. Don't expect fast results. Some things you can't just master in a day. Astral Projection is one of those things. Just keep practicing and don't beat yourself up if you can't even hear the high pitched noise in your head at first. But then again, if you only practice a little bit a week, you wont get much better. Practicing about 4-8 hours a week really helps.

6. Review your goals. Are you doing this just out of curiousity? Or are you doing this for a reason. If you are just curious, that may not be enough.

7. Start doing it! The road is ahead of you, so why not start out today? Don't keep putting it off, just GET GOING!!!
