Astral Travel Understood
Have you ever had a dream where you were able to fly? Wasn’t that an incredible experience? As it happens, astral travel is very similar to this. Astral travel refers to the way that your astral body traverses the astral plane -by flying. All you need to do when you are astral traveling is to think of where you’d like to go and what you want to do; your astral body will take care of the rest, flying to your destination.
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.
Similar to the dreams that allow you to work out the problems and frustrations of the day, so astral travel has some benefits as well. The benefits will be unique to you, as they are to each person who experiences astral projection, and that is why it is so important that you write them down.
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.
Your senses, which pertain to your natural psychic abilities, are another benefit of astral travel. Scores of people who do practice astral travel report an increase of such abilities as precognition, telepathy as well as being able to sense spiritual being from beyond the veil of this world.
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 die-hard skeptics who didn’t have any belief in astral travel or psychic abilities have reported being able to read auras after having some experience with astral travel.
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.
Many who are convinced of the benefits of astral travel wonder why more people do not practice it since there are so many benefits from doing so. The answer is quite simple, since many do not realize that everyone can do it, not just those who are already gifted by its power of realization. Quite the opposite is true, anyone anywhere has this natural ability and can astral travel.
Since this is an absolute natural ability, it is possible that you may have already experienced astral travel and did not realize that you had done so. Remember at the beginning we asked you if you remembered the sensation of flying while you lay sleeping. It is this very sensation of flying while you are sleeping that is the experience of astral travel.
However, in order to get the most from the benefits of your astral travel experience, you must consciously recognize that you are actually doing it while you sleep. Then you must learn and practice how to control your astral body while you are actually astral projecting. Doing so offers you the very best benefits.
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.
