There are several differing astral projection techniques that can be utilized by many for use to help them do astral project. With every person being unique, a technique that is good for one user many not be good for another user. The main reason people run into problems with any of the methods usually is the fact that they have an inability to relax.
When you are looking at making astral projection techniques work, you will discover that total relaxation is a must. Far too many people are afraid of the idea of losing control, and especially if you are just getting started, this can be a little unnerving. You may be worried that you can die or that you will be harmed, and the truth is the complete opposite. To help quash these old fears, a research study was performed by the Canterbury Institute, which is known for its occult studies.
The Canterbury study had 2000 individuals, who were participants in astral projection. This study proved the not one person was found to be negatively affected in anyway from doing astral projection techniques. More importantly though is that there was a follow up down for 3 more years. No participant has had any problems that they have complained about.
Now that we’ve nipped the fear issue in the bud, let’s take a look at a few of the astral projection techniques, all of which have helped a great number of people in the past. The good news is; all these techniques are also relatively easy. The first technique which we’ll discuss is known as the Monroe Technique and it consists of seven main steps:
* The first step is getting your body and mind to be 100 percent relaxed. Many relaxation techniques can be utilized to reach this stage successfully. Using the deep breathing method is so simple just inhale deeply and exhale deeply. Another one is to relax every muscle in your body by first tensing them up then secondly release them, begin with the toes on your feet and work toward the head.
* The next step involves the hynagogic stage, where your mind and body are very close to the state of sleep. Remember not to forget yourself and don’t doze off. Start by gazing at something and focus on it as you lay in bed. As you let your eyes drift shut, you will discover that you can still see the thing that you are focusing on.
* You will then need to deepen the state of mind you’re in once you reach the point where you can see the object even when your eyes are closed. At this point it may be possible to see different light patterns and you may even notice that the room appears to be immersed in a purplish light. There is no need for you to pay any attention to the purplish light or the light patterns, but instead, you’ll know you’ve entered a deeper state once you stop seeing the lights. Furthermore, once you reach this point you’ll be so relaxed, you won’t even be aware of your physical body anymore.
* This step is absolutely imperative with the Monroe technique. The state of vibration will need to be entered into. Many report feeling these types of vibration fairly early in the projection process. Is thought by the participant that the feeling of vibration is what happens when the astral body start to depart from the physical body. Don’t let this stage worry you, relax and feel the vibrations.
* Controlling your state of vibration. You can control the vibrations in such a way that they move through your body. By using your mind you can direct these vibrations so that you can feel them all over as if there were waves washing over you. However, it will require a certain amount of practice before you are able to bring on these waves at will. Once you can create these ways at will, you’re ready to leave your body.
* One of the most important factors with regards to astral projection, is having the ability to control your mind so that it’s your mind that is in power. Interestingly enough, Monroe suggests that you first practice partial separation in order to strengthen this control. Even though you should continue to focus on the idea of leaving your body, you should only allow a foot or hand of the astral body to go. Ideally, you should attempt to stretch them towards an object which is near you, and when you reach that object you should push your hand or foot straight through it. Once you manage to do this successfully, allow your hand or foot to return to your physical body and then begin to slow down the vibrations in order to end your session.
* This last step is where you actually get to leave your physical body. Once again, you can follow all the previous steps but now, rather than only allowing a hand or foot to leave from the physical body, you’re going to allow complete separation. In order to do this, you need to focus on just how weightless your body really is. In fact you can even try to imagine that your body is made up of feathers which are being blown around by the wind. At this point, your astral body should be starting to leave your physical body and this will become apparent as you begin to feel as though you are floating.
Other popular methods include techniques such as the gazing method, the anchor method, and the rope technique. Ideally, one should spend some time experimenting with the different techniques in order to establish which technique suits you the most.
Remember that not everyone can astral project right away using the techniques above and that they all require practice.
When you are looking for a quicker shorter way to get results, remember that you should look at the audio tools that are available to you. There are some important tools that will use special sound frequencies to help you. These frequencies are known as Binaural beats, which will bring the two hemispheres o your brain into synchronization and you will find that it sinks you right into the meditative state
You may also find that you can get some great use out of good astral projection techniques hypnosis recordings, and you will find that they can encourage your subconscious mind that it is really okay to let your astral body out and to let it travel.
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.
