Can I Do Astral Projection?
For people who are interested in astral projection, you will find that there are a number of different astral projection techniques that you can try. While keeping in mind that we are all different and that while one technique that is pure gold for one person doesn’t work for another at all, you will find that there are techniques out there that can work for you. Most people try a few different techniques, but first of all, remember to relax!
One thing you need to bear in mind right from the very beginning, is that total relaxation is essential, irrespective of which technique you choose to use. Unfortunately, because there are still many misconceptions regarding astral projection, many newcomers experience a certain degree of fear and this in itself prevents them from being able to relax. Contrary to what you may have heard, one cannot be harmed and neither can you die from astral projection. In fact, the Canterbury institute even went as far as doing some research involving 2,000 people, in order to squash such fears.
For 2000 people, all of whom worked with astral projection or who worked with astral projection techniques, there was no sign of any harm that had come to them. Even more importantly, as these people were followed over the course of three years, no harm came to them as a result of this practice.
Now that we’ve nipped the fear issue in the bud, let’s take a look at a few of the astral projection techniques, all of which have helped a great number of people in the past. The good news is; all these techniques are also relatively easy. The first technique which we’ll discuss is known as the Monroe Technique and it consists of seven main steps:
* The first step that you need to think about is complete and total relaxation. You can start with deep breathing, but just make sure that you find the one that works for you. As you inhale deeply and slowly, concentrate on relaxing your body, Think about relaxing the muscles of your body in stages, starting with the toes and working your way up.
* The next step involves the hynagogic stage, where your mind and body are very close to the state of sleep. Remember not to forget yourself and don’t doze off. Start by gazing at something and focus on it as you lay in bed. As you let your eyes drift shut, you will discover that you can still see the thing that you are focusing on.
* Once you are inside the hynagogic stage, remember that you need to deepen it. With your eyes still closed, look around and see what you can see. Some of the things that you might see include strange light patterns, or everything being cloaked in a purple light. Go ahead and ignore the light, and once you have managed to get rid of it, you will know that you are in a deeper state. Remember that at this stage, you should be so relaxed that you are no longer aware of your physical body, and this detachment is extremely important when you are thinking about this technique and what it can do for you.
* This step is absolutely imperative with the Monroe technique. The state of vibration will need to be entered into. Many report feeling these types of vibration fairly early in the projection process. Is thought by the participant that the feeling of vibration is what happens when the astral body start to depart from the physical body. Don’t let this stage worry you, relax and feel the vibrations.
* Controlling your state of vibration. You can control the vibrations in such a way that they move through your body. By using your mind you can direct these vibrations so that you can feel them all over as if there were waves washing over you. However, it will require a certain amount of practice before you are able to bring on these waves at will. Once you can create these ways at will, you’re ready to leave your body.
* The secret to astral travel and projection is for you to be in control with your mind. Monroe suggest that to strengthen this practice at this point a partial separation. Remaining focused mentally on the thought of exiting the physical body, 1st have a foot or maybe a hand go as fast as the astral body. Stretch either to an item that is close to you, as in maybe the floor, a wall, or any other item that is familiar, now place you foot or hand completely through this item. Now you need to bring the hand or foot back again to the physical body, calm down and stop the vibrations and bring session to a close. Keep laying on the bed until you have become to an awakened state completely.
* The final step is that you get to finally exit your body. Do the other steps as listed above, but this time you will transfer completely to your astral body. You will need to slightly alter step six. In place of thinking about releasing only a part of your body, you will now think about releasing the whole astral body, by concentrating on how little it weighs as if weightless in fact, as in feather blowing around in the wind. The astral body actually should be transporting away from the physical body, you should feel a floating or flying effect.
You may also try other astral projection techniques like the Anchor Technique, the Rope Technique, and the Gazing Method. Try all of these to see which gives you the highest quality results for you. The right astral projection technique exist out there for everyone that tries it.
Remember that not everyone can astral project right away using the techniques above and that they all require practice.
There actually is a faster way of achieving this! With certain innovations in sound technology, many audio type tools are available today to help you. One of the new techniques is the use of Binaural beats which are specialized sound frequencies, which help to synchronize the left and right hemispheres of your brain, allowing immediate meditative state to occur, which is necessary for astral projection.
One can also opt for hypnosis recordings which have been designed to assist those interested in astral projection. These aim to reassure ones subconscious mind that it’s perfectly acceptable for one to leave ones physical body.
