Astral Projecting - A Beginners Guide

Sunday, March 29th, 2009

A lot of people find that there are some stumbling blocks preventing them from successfully astral projecting. However, this is something which all of us can do. It is a natural ability which every man and woman already has. Much like riding a bike, you dont forget how; but you do have to keep in practice in order to do it well.

A lot of people find just relaxing to be a stumbling block on the way to learning astral projection. In order to astral project, youll need to relax both mind and body. There are a number of different techniques which can help you to relax, including breathing techniques and methods of muscle relaxation.

If you choose to practice your astral projecting in a relaxed environment you will have a much better chance of doing so successfully. Try the tips below in order to practice astral projecting successfully.

*Start by removing any tight, restrictive clothing and any jewelry. Some people even find taking off their clothes to be helpful when astral projecting, but whatever works for you is the right way to go.

*It is easiest to practice astral projecting in a dark room. You dont want it to be so dark that you cant see anything with your eyes open, but it should be dark enough that no light penetrates through when you close them.

*Lay down with your body pointed north to south. Your head should be pointed north. You can orient yourself by using the sun as your guide (since it sets in the west and rises in the east).

*While you practice astral projecting, make sure that the clothes you wear keep you warm, but are comfortable and loosely fitting.

*You should be doing this at a time when you are going to be free from distraction. Which means that you want a noise free place and time to practice your astral projecting.

*Start using your relaxation techniques (you should also practice these outside of your astral projecting sessions). If you want to astral project, you have to be completely relaxed.

*Give yourself suggestions to help you remember what you see and do when astral projecting. Tell yourself at least five times before you begin I will remember. Having pen and paper nearby is a good idea, since you can then write down what happened as soon as you return to your body.

*Continue to practice your breathing.

*As you are breathing focus on the blackness in front of you.

*The next step is to place your focus on a point which lies around a foot from your forehead. Once you get your focus on this point, move it to another point which is about six feet away.

*Next, imagine a line running at a 90 degree angle from this focal point to a point parallel to your body.

These tips will help you to prepare for astral projecting. You need to have full mental control of the process, so that your astral body doesn’t just wander off directionless. When you astral project you can go anywhere and do anything, so focus on the wheres and whats.

There are some astral projecting practitioners that are able to talk with loved ones they have lost. There are others that take part in activities that they are not able to do in the physical realm of reality. Contrary to what you may think, you have done this already. Now you need to have control over what is happening. Those dreams that you wake up and remember really well were actually astral traveling. Now it is time for you to learn to do it intentionally to reap the benefits of what astral projecting can do for you.
