The Art Of Mastering Astral Projection

Have you ever dreamt of floating out from your body and then watched yourself from outside? Chances are that you woke up just about then, thinking the dream to be strange. But it may also have been the start of an astral projection during your sleep in which you left your physical body and traveled to higher astral planes or a different realms of conscious. Do you realize how it would feel to leave your body and let your conscious travel to different ethereal plane observing your own body and the world from a distance? It is for this very reason that mastering astral projection is so very popular amongst people with a little esoteric bent of mind or even otherwise.

In mastering astral projection, the primary thing is affirming your subconscious mind that you will be able to do it.

If your subconscious is unsure and you have the slightest of doubt then astral travel will be extremely difficult. Absolute faith achieves almost anything and hence the best technique is to write down some of your beliefs regarding life and reality and then write down and reiterate to yourself about the eternally free, omnipotent nature of your soul which can travel to different astral planes. Secondly, the most important thing that you need to start and build up on is meditation. Projecting your astral existence from your physical body requires a high level of concentration, visualization power, control on your subconscious mind and an ability to channel one's attention and energy all of which can only be developed with the help of meditation. Thirdly, mastering astral projection includes the very crucial element of time.

The perfect time in which to induce such a projection is during REM sleep. Humans sleep in four stages with each stage becoming deeper than the previous one. After the last stage of very deep sleep, the cycle reverses till it comes to the phase of the REM or rapid eye movement phase where the brain activity is at its maximum. This is the time which is the most conducive for mastering astral projection. Now that you are mentally ready for astral travel, lie down in a dimly lit or candle lit room preferably in light clothes. Remember that no electrical equipment should be switched on to distract you and abstain from having too much food, especially items like non-vegetarian or caffeine. Try to mimic the REM sleep mode, let your body rest, but keep your mind awake and focused. Start with meditating and being aware of yourself and the energy flowing in you. Channel this energy into a vision of you floating up from your body or you can even visualize a rope and yourself climbing up by it. A crucial thing to remember in mastering astral projection is that if one has even the slightest of apprehensions regarding whether you'll be able to return to the body then you will not be able to leave in the first place. Moreover, after you actually leave your body and progress forward remember not to panic or be fearful while moving away more since then you will be suddenly sucked back or pulled back into your body once again. Lastly, technological interventions like that of the binaural beats can be used in creating the mental state that is conducive to astral projection. Binaural Beats involve hearing two different sound vibrations through both ears which fuses into each other and synchronized in the brain so as to create the required mental state. Whatever technique is used, mastering astral projection is not particularly easy and needs high mind power. However, once achieved, it is an experience of a lifetime which forces open many a doors to your personality which you may not have known before.
