At first, most people find it difficult to begin astral projecting. There are a lot of things which can make it hard to begin astral projecting, even though it is an ability which every man, woman and child possesses already. Like riding a bike, you don’t forget how to do it – but you do need practice if you want to become able to astral project any time you want and be in control of the experience.
The biggest problem which many face as they learn astral projecting is learning to relax fully. To astral project, you have to be able to totally relax your body and your mind. There are a lot of different ways which you can relax – these methods include muscle relaxation and breathing techniques.
If you choose to practice your astral projecting in a relaxed environment you will have a much better chance of doing so successfully. Try the tips below in order to practice astral projecting successfully.
*Take off any jewelry and change out of any clothing which is restrictive or uncomfortable. Many choose to remove their clothes before astral projecting, but the important thing here is to make yourself comfortable so that you can relax fully.
*You will want to practice your astral projecting in a dim or dark room. It should be dark enough that you cannot see light through your closed eyes, but not so dark as to be pitch black.
*Position your body pointing from north to south, with your head at the northern end. Use the sun as your guide if you are unsure which way is north. Remember, the sun sets in the west and rises in the east.
*Make sure that the clothing you are wearing is loose and comfortable. You want to be covered so that you are warmer the you normally are but you don’t want to be hot.
*Make sure that you have a place which is quiet and where you will not be distracted as you practice your astral projecting.
*It is time to enter a state of relaxation, (this is where you want to practice your relaxation techniques.)
*Give yourself suggestions to help you remember what you see and do when astral projecting. Tell yourself at least five times before you begin “I will remember”. Having pen and paper nearby is a good idea, since you can then write down what happened as soon as you return to your body.
*Start using your breathing techniques and feel yourself starting to relax.
*As you are breathing focus on the blackness in front of you.
*Now you want to focus on a point or object about a foot away from your forehead, once you focus on that object change your focus to six feet away.
*Imagine a line which runs at a ninety degree angle from this point six feet away to your body.
Following these simple steps will prepare you for astral projecting. It is important that we note that you also have to have mental control of what you are going to do. You don’t want your astral body to just go out and bounce through the astral planes with no direction. You can go anywhere, do anything so it is important that you have direction.
Astral projecting experts have been able to speak with loved ones who have departed and to do things which are beyond the capacities of their physical bodies. You too can learn how to do all of this with some practice. You have astral projected before –those dreams which you remember every detail of when you awaken are astral travels! If you work at it, you can make the most of your astral projecting and have these incredible experiences at will.
