A Beginner's Guide to Astral Projection Part 1

This article was written by UMADBRO on 2011-08-28 under -Kinesis.

    Hello everyone, and thank you for taking the time to read my first article (so far). I've had a few people ask me questions related to abilities, so I think for starters, I will start with a basic ability, Astral Projection.

First, we should have a clear understanding about what Astral Projection is, so now its 'definition time'.

  Astral Projection- an out of body experience (OBE), involving an 'astral body', which is seperate from the 'physical body', and is able to travel great distances, and sometimes, different realms in the Astral Plane.
Astral Projectons can occur, because of a multitude of situations. Some of these are subconscious, and even fewer are completely conscious.

   Subconscious projections will happen if an individual is having personal conflict, such as a question that disrupts moral judgement, or any other important question that portains to how the individual interprets life and its situations. This is the most common form of projection, as it takes no effort from the subconscious mind to exercise this ability. These will happen during sleep, in the 'dream state' (stage 4 of sleep, known as "REM" sleep). These dreams are generally 'lucid', can sometimes be 'precognitions', and the individual commonly wakes up feeling restless, as if they were busy all night. It is best that you write these dreams in a journal (label it "dream journal" or "experience journal"), as the symbolism within the dream more than likely holds the answer to the question your subconsious saught to solve.

So, now that we've covered "subconscious projection", if you want, take a few notes in a journal. Now, lets move onto the type of projection that requires practice- Conscious Projection.

   Conscious Projection is like Subconscious Projection, but the difference is that you are completely aware of your surroundings and actions in the Astral Plane, and it takes effort to "pull out of your physical body".

Now, here is the disclaimer... Do not let this discourage you at all, either... With Conscious Projection, there are three important concepts to remember BEFORE you are able to easily travel consciously around the Astral Plane.

   Concept 1- PRACTICE! Conscious Projection may come easier to different people, or harder for others, but anyone who has exercised this ability with precision knows that before you can actually acomplish it, you must first practice.

   Concept 2- FOCUS! This is another extremely important aspect of conscious projection. In order to go "out of body", a lot of concentration is required, for whatever method you choose to "come out" with. The easiest way to build focus is to have "counting exercises". Take a large amount of objects (I chose a jar of pennies), and start counting them. If you lose count and mess up, start over. Do this until you have a perfect count of 1000 or more. This means that you are able to focus extensively, and will be more likely to hold your out of body form, for longer periods of time.

   Concept 3- RELAX! Before you begin your practice with conscious projection, think of things that make it easier for you to focus and meditate. I suggest laying in a comfortable position and place (preferably on your back, in a bed), having the lights dimmed or off, and if it helps, play relaxing music, or any music that makes you feel comfortable. When you have done this, meditate for about 10 minutes or so (you can meditate for however long you want), and begin to practice your methods of pulling your astral body out. If you experience vibrations while you are being pulled out, relax as best you can, and remember that it is part of the process of conscious projection.

   This is probably all the word count will allow me to type out, but in my next article, I will discuss different types of methods that make it easier to do the actual "pulling out of the physical body". I hope you all will be able to learn from my information, regardless if you may be brand new, or just looking for other techniques.

I tried it, the Conscious Projection. I was actually flying. This was the only experience I can remember, but after this happened, I was able to control a part of my dream...

Um, no, you are not naked. In the astral body, think about yourself as being like clay- you can to an extent form your energy to how you wish to be perceived, but more than likely, as their "soul form". Don't worry yourself if you are naked, though- the body is a natural, beautiful thing, and is nothing to be ashamed of. You more than likely also won't really care about if you're naked or not, while you're projecting, as generally the "goal" of the projection is the most important aspect.

Ok i will ask whenever a question pops up in my head
By: UMADBRO  
Yes, that would go under the "relaxing music" category, and it is one of the "pulling out of the body" methods. Nice suggestion, btw!
