Fortunately for those who want to learn how to astral project, there are a number of techniques which can help. Of course, even though one technique may work for someone, that doesn’t necessarily mean it will work for everyone, because after all, we are all unique individuals. Fascinatingly enough, the vast majority of people who experience difficulty with some of the techniques, do so simply because there are unable to relax sufficiently.
The bottom line is; irrespective of which astral projection techniques you choose to use, absolute relaxation is crucial. Unfortunately, many people who are new to astral projection have difficulty relaxing mainly because of unfounded fears. For the most part, these fears are a result of fake rumors, claiming that it’s possible for one to be harmed while astral projecting. Luckily, the Canterbury Institute conducted thorough research regarding this, in an attempt to place an end to such misconceptions.
In fact, the Canterbury Institute used 2,000 volunteers, all of whom participated in astral projection, and of course not one of those people were harmed in any way after following the various astral projection techniques. More importantly though, the Canterbury Institute followed all the volunteers for the next three years and during that time, none of them reported any problems and neither did any of them have any complaints.
Now that we’ve nipped the dread issue in the bud, let’s take a look at a few of the astral projection techniques, all of which have helped a fantastic number of people in the past. The excellent news is; all these techniques are also relatively simple. The first technique which we’ll discuss is known as the Monroe Technique and it consists of seven main steps:
* Mind and body must be relaxed. Of course there are a number of relaxation techniques which people can use, although the simplest one is simply deep inhaling and exhaling. This is then followed by relaxing all the muscles of the body one at a time. Starting at the toes, tense each muscle and then release it again.
* The hypnotic state of mind. This is simply a state of mind when your mind and body are right at the very edge of consciousness. In other words, you are right at the verge of going to sleep but it’s imperative that you do not allow yourself to really fall asleep. This can be achieved by using what is known as the ‘staring method’, where one focuses on an object in the room as you lie on your bed. Your aim should be to be able to see the object even when your eyes are closed.
* When you reach a point where you can still see the object even though your eyes are closed, then you need to deepen your current state of mind even more. This can be done by looking around the room while your eyes remain closed. Amongst other things, you may very well start to see some light patterns and even a sort of purplish haze inside the room. This is perfectly normal and there is no need for you to pay much attention to it. Instead, once the light is no longer visible you can take that as a sign that you’ve entered a deeper state. In all probability you will be so relaxed by this stage that you’ll hardly be aware of your physical body at all. It should be mentioned that according to the Monroe technique, this is extremely vital.
* This next step which revolves around a state of vibration is extremely vital according to Monroe. Also, most people who are involved with the actual projection to indicate that these vibrations become noticeable in the early stages of projection. In fact, it is said that these vibrations signal the time when your astral body starts to separate from your physical body. This is a perfectly normal phenomenon and as such, there is no reason for concern.
* Controlling your state of vibration. In order to control the vibrations one should focus on moving them through your body. Using your mind, you should attempt to spread these vibrations over your entire body so that it feels as though there are waves washing over you. You need to keep practicing this until such time that you can bring on these waves whenever you choose, and once you are able to do that, you’re ready to leave your physical body.
* One of the most vital components to astral projection is having sufficient control in order to ensure that it’s your mind that is in power. In order to strengthen your existing level of control, Monroe recommends that people practice partial separation. Here again, one should focus on leaving your physical body although in this case, you should only allow your hand or foot to go. Try to stretch your hand or foot out to towards an object which is nearby and then go ahead and push your hand or foot straight through the object. Once you manage to do that successfully, you can allow your hand or foot to return to your physical body and then you can go ahead and start slowing down the vibrations in order to end your session.
* This next step involves total separation from the physical body so once again, following all the previous steps, you now attempt to release your entire body rather than only a hand or foot. This stage is practically the same as partial separation apart from the fact that you now want your entire astral body to separate from your physical body. In order to achieve this you should be focusing on just how light your body feels. Ideally, you should imagine your body as being really weightless, as if it were made of feathers which are blowing away on a breeze. As your astral body leaves your physical body you will experience a feeling which could be compared to floating or flying.
As is to be expected, there are various other techniques which one should try, such as the Rope Technique, Anchor Technique, and the Staring Method. It is recommended that everyone try these different techniques in order to establish which astral projection technique works best for you as an individual.
What you do need to bear in mind but, is that not everyone can astral project immediately simply by using one of the techniques mentioned above, because after all, it does take practice.
For those who don’t necessarily have the luxury of time, modern sound technology has provided us with a rather impressive shortcut. This shortcut makes use of different sound frequencies known as binaural beats, in order to induce a meditative state of mind which is ideal for those wanting to practice astral projection. Essentially, when these beats are played into each ear, it results in the two hemispheres of the brain becoming synchronized, and a meditative state follows nearly instantaneously.
One can also opt for hypnosis recordings which have been designed to help those interested in astral projection. These aim to reassure ones subconscious mind that it’s perfectly acceptable for one to leave ones physical body.
It simply cannot be denied that astral protection is a life changing experience, and this is something which anyone will attest to once they have experienced it. Fortunately, it is something anyone can do, particularly if you use one of the many techniques available.
