Astral Projection Techniques
Easy to learn skills to induce a lucid dream to project your consciousness with these Astral Projection Techniques.
Drugs and Astral Projection
For centuries, people have been altering their mind to astral project using drugs.
Live Inside your Dreams
Every time you dream, you have the chance to become aware of your dream state and take control. This is living inside your dreams.
Ways to Astral Project
There
are many methods to gain astral projection mastery. Try several
different techniques to see which is most effective. Most people find it
easier to enter the astral plane as they fall asleep or suddenly
"awaken" inside of a dream.
- The first method is to keep your awareness while you are falling asleep and starting to dream- through hypnogogic imagery or during a meditation state.
- The second method is to gain awareness while having a dream- astral projection.
- Most
astral projections, or lucid dream experiences, occur in the moments
before you awake. If you can hold the awareness without waking up during
the hypnopompic period of sleep, you can stretch out the astral projection experience.
Wake Up Inside Your Dreams
Astral projection is the way to live inside your dreams.
Have
you ever dreamed that you were dreaming? Do you sometimes become able to
control your dreams- change the scene or "will" things to happen?
This
is astral projection. The mind meets the soul while the body sleeps. We
have all experienced an astral projection episode. Only a few are aware
enough to remember it. Gaining awareness inside of a dream - or
projecting oneself from waking to sleep to dreaming while maintaining
awareness - is a trainable skill. Almost anyone can do it. This is
Astral Projection for beginners.
Most people have experienced either or both methods without realizing it several times in their lives.
The
grogginess of sleep often obscures the realization of dream
consciousness. With practice, the mind can be trained to be aware when
the body is asleep.
Just
before falling asleep, some people see floating images, patterns or
colors that briefly appear. You caught a glimpse of the astral world.
Have
you ever awoke suddenly and found yourself still in your dream with the
added awareness of your surroundings? Then you also caught a glimpse of
the astral plane.
Achieving Astral Awareness
 The first step to astral projection starts with thinking about the astral plane when you are awake.
Dreams are elusive and pass from memory quickly. It's important to write down those dreams just after you awake.
Daydream about your dreams. Read books about astral projection before you go to sleep.
Study
about astral projection, especially in the evening. Read through this
section on astral projection to set your mind in the mood.
Good
astral projection techniques are gained by practice. There are several
key astral projection skills. They are not difficult to learn.
For
most people, astral projection begins when you "wake up" while you are
still asleep. This is flash of dream awareness is called lucid dreaming.
With control of the dream, astral projection, magical things can be accomplished.
There are two main ways this can be done. It will take many attempts to achieve results.
Just practice. Study. Keep your dreams alive and one day it will happen.
Astral Plane - the place you go when you dream
The
space between awake and sleep opens a slice into a part of ourselves
that we rarely pay any attention. This is the astral plane - or the
astral world - the space between space and time.
When
you fall asleep another part of your brain becomes active and assembles
all of the images, emotions and experiences familiar to you and replays
them in a television serial-like format. Have you ever noticed how much
television shows and movies are like dreams?
The
astral plane is the world where these images and emotions exist.
Psychologists call it the dream state- the subconscious. Astral
projectionists call it the astral states It's basically the same place.
(Remember the joke about the blind men feeling an elephant from
different angles and describing it as a different animal? This is the
same with astral space.
Astral
was a popular word in the early 20th Century. In the mid-1950's and on,
it was known as "out of body experiences" (OBE). As long as humans had
dreams, they experienced some form of astral projection.
Most of us are too asleep to realize it. We do it every night.
Astral Body- your subtle body in the dream state
The astral body is just like your physical body, but in a different "vessel."
If you see yourself in a dream, you can see that astral body form. Most people just see the world around them.
In the
astral body, you can have the same physical sensations, feelings,
emotions and thoughts as if you were awake. It's that combination that
creates the astral world's dream-state environment.
The
astral body, though, can change like the dream world around you. Some
people can dream of being someone else. They can take on a different
astral body than their own.
When
the astral body travels through the astral plane, the dreamer is
actually traveling through their own personal understanding of the world
around them. Each image in the dream is an astral body of its own.
