Have you ever heard stories of the person on the operating table who regains consciousness after the operation and tells staff accurate details of the procedure?
“It was like I was floating peacefully up in the corner of the room, calmly looking down on things unfold.”
Or the person in the car crash?
“The car started skidding sideways – then I was standing on the curb and I watched everything happen in slow-motion – then I looked up and people were checking my seat belt and asking if I was ok.”
Both of these instances talk of spontaneous Astral Projection.
There have been so many anecdotal accounts of stories similar to the above, it is hard to dismiss. Sure, those of the scientific circles say it’s all gobbledygook, but we all know science is lagging far behind spirituality. 🙂
So the essence of Astral Projection is simple… We are spiritual beings inside a physical body, and with the right circumstances these two entities can exist separately for a time.
But, does Astral Projection only happen spontaneously? No.
With the right guidance and training – it is a skill that can be practiced and mastered. Would you like to know How to Astral Project? Yes? Ok… But before we get to that, let’s better our understanding.
Astral Projection is an umbrella term that covers any occurrence of the consciousness existing separately from the physical body. This following explanation is an excerpt from Wikipedia.
Astral projection / astral travel is an esoteric interpretation of any form of out-of-body experience (OBE) that assumes the existence of an “astral body” separate from the physical body and capable of traveling outside it. Astral projection or travel denotes the astral body leaving the physical body to travel in the astral plane.
The idea of astral travel is rooted in common worldwide religious accounts of the afterlife in which the consciousness’ or soul’s journey or “ascent” is described in such terms as “an…out-of body experience, wherein the spiritual traveler leaves the physical body and travels in his/her subtle body into ‘higher’ realms.”
It is therefore associated with near death experiences and is also frequently reported as spontaneously experienced in association with sleep and dreams, illness, surgical operations, drug experiences, sleep paralysis and forms of meditation.

Astral Projection
Now to the good stuff…
Wouldn’t it be nice to experience this sensation without having an operation or near death experience? Yes?
Well… It is possible.
Training for Astral Projection
Would you believe it if someone told you that you can drift away from your physical body into a whole new plane of existence? Just think about how exciting it will be if you could fly like a bird, soar off into space, and walk through solid walls.
How do you like the idea of visiting the Akashic Records, which is a record of universal consciousness and get a chance to see the past, present and the probable future?
Would you like to grow spiritually, become more intuitive, be guided by higher intelligence, and gain a better understanding of yourself and your purpose of existence?
And would you like to improve relationships, and heal yourself physically, mentally and emotionally?
All this and more are available to you in the realms of Astral Projection!
Astral Projection is an exciting phenomenon that allows you to leave your physical body and travel anywhere you want to.
Astral Projection is a subject that has always been shrouded by mystery and myths, so if it is an area of interest to you, look for a local practitioner who can guide you with love down this path.
I have read somewhere that through such training one can control on his dreams also. Now after reading this post I got some sort of faith in this. Its really an art and you show how to become an artist. Sounds very interesting.
From what I have learned – some people take to it naturally (and may have been doing it previously unawares) while others need dedicated practice to learn the art (as with anything worthwhile) Namaste.
What is the purpose for astral travel and astral bodies?I have not reached such a stage yet but i do believe that we would not be given gifts without reason?And a gift such as this would surely have a purpose to it no?I have been somewhat been given a gift of foresight.And i still cannot figure out the purpose of having sucha gift even when i did not cultivate myself to obtain it.
Great questions 🙂 One theory to explore, is that our Astral State is closer to who we really are, (as eternal souls), and that our physical bodies are the experiment. Astral Travel develops your psychic awareness, raises your vibration, and allows you to access a knowledge greater than your own. For what purpose? (As well as your gift of foresight) Knowledge comes from experience, and foresight allows you to better choose the experiences from which you can learn to most, for your greatest good. For example, If you are here in this incarnation to experience what it is like to be ‘resourceful’, you are unlikely to receive the lotto numbers.
Any other opinions on this are most welcome 🙂 Namaste.
This seems a little nerve racking to me! If i leave my body – isnt it almost the same thing as dying? Im not concerned of dying during a OBD, unless its truly my time to pass. But durng a astral projection, is your body even breathing? Do you have to continue breathing techniques during this experience. This is very interesting to me. I’ve learned so much fro this website. Thank you.
Hi Ryan, rest assured, your body is completely safe during an Out of Body Experience. It continues to breathe and function as normal. I’ve never heard of anything going wrong to a person’s body while they are out of it.
Picture a child in class staring out the window at the play-ground day-dreaming. They are completely in their imagination. Their experience is real. They may not hear the teacher calling their name, but they are safe from harm, and can enter their body completely in an instant if required.
Hi Nigel, Hey Prince!
I do not astral travel, though I know my father did. He would always come back with advice for us, my siblings, my mother, and me, and it took us a while to interpret his insights into the situations we found ourselves in. I never could do it. However, just like you, Prince, I have the gift of foresight. Over the years, I have noticed that if I use my gift to help others, the insights come more complete, and with better accuracy as to time and place.
It is my understanding that the only reason we are ever given any special gift is to be of greater help to the individuals who comprise the mass consciousness. As we help the one, we help the whole.
I will try, once again, to astral travel. It has been many years since I tried to learn, but I learned transcendental meditation in the interim. So, I’m hopeful that I can take to it this time.
Nigel, thanks for all your wonderful sharing. It has helped me so much. You always find the greatest things. 🙂
Namaste
Martyne
Great insight Martyne 🙂 I love that your father would come back with advice for you all. Sharing the gift!
And good luck this time around with the astral travel. I always feel that if something doesn’t work, maybe the divine timing isn’t right for you yet – so take a break (as you have with the TM), and try it again with fresh energy. Good Luck!
Hi Nigel, A very intriguing post! I have spontaneously Astral traveled on two separate occasions, both when I was in a great deal of pain. I am adept at meditation but the art of purposeful astral travel still eludes me! I suspect I travel whilst ‘asleep’ but never at will! Sometimes I am able to lucid dream. Curious if you’ve ever astral traveled too?!
Great blog, by the way 🙂 Kristy
Hi Kristy, most of my personal experiences with this have been Lucid Dreaming; knowing that you are dreaming, and being able to control the dream state. I have seen visions, or images during these dreams so I’m not 100{df31a8e171f738cf751502d9b5a6f3a7abba4f50502d2a833ebe3ce1ac671440} sure where the Lucid Dreaming stops and the Astral Travel starts. My spiritual development group worked on Remote Viewing for several weeks, but I didn’t take to it naturally – my imagination kept getting in the way!
I’d like to learn astral projection but I have one question.After coming out of physical body and travelling how do we enter back in body?
With Ease… It is your natural state of being. If disturbed or frightened when travelling, you will return instantly to your body naturally. Many people also imagine an energetic thread between their physical and astral heart for comfort with the duality.
Apparently everyone astral travels at night whilst dreaming. Hence a lot of people experience a jerk when they feel as if they are falling off /down from something. That the astral body going back into your physical body. I used to have lots of lucid dreams but I am lucky to remember any dreams other than one or two a month ago, and have not for some years now. I even ask my higher self to remember but no such luck haha! Love and light, Selina x
I have heard that also Selina. I used to have such clear dreams as a child – I thought it was normal (Well I guess it is!) A good plan for remembering your dreams is, just as you have, set you intent each night to remember them, but also put a pad and pen within arm’s reach so you can scribble a few key points on your return. i have often woken to see scribble I can’t remember writing! Very enlightening.
Astral projection is a breathtaking experiance. I believe that if everyone on this planet knew about it and did it just once, it would end war. I have always been a spiritual person, however i have an unfair advantage, i am a twin. I believe it is an unfair advantage because being a twin i have always felt a connection to my brother. When we were kids all one of us had to say to the other wad “do you remember” and we would know exactally what the other was talking about. We had the same thoughts, feelings, and there was a very strong spiritual connection. Through the years our connection has become “weaker” than it was when we were kids, but it is still there. We have also been able to realize that we were dreaming and controll the dream completely. I later found out that that is called a “lucid dream”. I remember my grandmother telling me that her mother was gifted with her dreams. She said that she could see parts of the future in through her dreams. I have never been able to controll it but throughout my life i have done the same thing many times. One time i was in boy scouts and we were planning a trip to a ski resort. I had never been to this resort before, in fact i had never even heard of it. About 3 months before we actually went on the trip i had a dream that i remembered very vividly. I didn’t know the building i was in because i had never been there physically before. When we got to the resort and i walked into the main building everything just hit me like deja vue. I suddenly realized that i had been to this place before in a dream. I could tell you where the bathrooms,the cafateria, the locker room, everything was. The building was exactally the same as it was in my dream. This wasn’t thd first time that has happened but it is one of the ones that i remember the best. Anyway, when i got a few years older i came across astral projection while google searching. I read about it and so much became clear about my abilities. I became obsessed with the very thought of astral projection. I read as much as i could about it and for the next few weeks i tried every single night to have a conscious projection. I was laying in my bed and listening to “binerial beats” because they play special brainwave frequencies that relaxes your brain and gets you into the state of mind you need to be in to project. I laid still for about 15 minutes or so and didn’t move my body at all. After about 15 minutes or so i decided to myself that i am going to give up for the night, open my eyes, roll over and just go to bed. However when i opened my eyes i found myself laying outside on my neighbors sidewalk in the same position i was in on my bed. I sat up and looked across the street at my bedroom window and i couldn’t believe what was happening. I thought to myself “wait, im in my room but im here!” I did it i finally did it, i was out of my body and projecting. I could feel the wind on my face, the dewy grass beneath my bare feet, the hard concrete that i was laying on. I looked up at the moon, it was a bright beautiful full moon. It was positioned between the trees in my neighbors front yard, the branches were bare like it was the end of fall. I had read that you can go anywhere you want while you are in the astral world.so i closed my eyes and i thought “go to the moon”. When i opened my eyes i was back in my body laying in my bed speachless and excited beond belief! That is the only time i have projected at will but let me tell you guys. IT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE!!! No words can describe this experiance and do it justice. If you are interested in this at all, AT ALL, please please please research this, learn all you can about it and try every single techinque untill you finally project. And a very VERY usefull tool to help you are binerial beats. You can download them from the internet. However for them to work properly you HAVE to wear headphones. Please try it untill you achieve it. Do not be discouraged if you cant do it right away because it will most likely take time. But you have no idea how much it is worth. You have to stay incouraged and try it untill you finally experiance your first projection. It changed my life and ever since that day,i want to do it every single chance i get and you will also. Good luck i want you to see how much of a positive impact it will have on your life, and spoiler alert if you are afraid of death now, once you do this you will no longer fear it. You will know what happens when our bodies die, our souls dont! Please please please trust me on this, once you achieve it you will NOT be dissapointed. Good luck to you all!!!!
