For those that are new to astral projecting, there can be a number of stumbling blocks that you need to overcome to successfully astral project. First you need to understand that you have the ability, everyone does. So this isn’t about trying to learn something new, or force something that isn’t nature. Look at it as something that you have to fine tune, like roller skating, cartwheels, riding a bike. You never forget how to do these activities, when you haven’t done them in a long time you do have to practice. The same holds true for astral projecting.
A common challenge that people face when beginning astral projection is relaxation. In order to be successful at astral projection you have to be deeply relaxed in both mind and body. You are going to need to practice this. There are many techniques that you can use to help your mind and body relax. Both breathing and muscle relaxation techniques can be used.
To make relaxation easier, it always helps to make your environment relaxing. This lets you have a smoother transition to relaxation. A relaxing environment just makes the preparation process for astral projection easier. Here are some tips that you can use when you are getting yourself and your environment ready.
*Be aware of what you are wearing. Try to wear items that are not constricting and that will not distract you. Remove jewelry since it can be distracting.
*You should make the room you will be in dark. It does not have to be completely dark but when you close your eyes it should be dark without light being seen through your eyelids.
*Lying in a position where your head is to the north and your feet to the south is a perfect position. You should be able to figure out where north is by watching the sun as it rises in the east and sets in the west. Arrange the room so you can lie in this position.
*When astral projecting, wear clothing which is loose fitting and comfortable, yet warm enough.
*The room that you will be in should be quiet and free from distractions. Make sure that during the time you are practicing astral projection that you will not have a lot of noise or other distractions.
*You can now move to relaxation where you will use the relaxation techniques that you have chosen to completely relax.
*Give yourself a mental suggestion so that you can remember what happens during your session. Simply telling yourself that you will remember can help. Have a pen and paper nearby so when you are finished you can record what you remember. Making records will be helpful to allow you to remember what happened.
*Make sure you are always practicing your breathing techniques.
*Also focus on the darkness before you as you go through the session.
*Move your focus to about a foot away and then to six feet away. Focus on this point and ensure that you focus first a foot away and then six feet away.
*Now create a line that runs from that point at six feet away parallel to your body. Go up from the point at a 90 degree angle and then create this parallel line.
Using these tips will help you get ready for the astral projection process. You should be aware that you need to be mentally in control of what is happening. You cannot go out of your body through astral projection without proper control. You will simply bounce around the astral planes without any control. You want control so you can go where you want and do what you want to do.
It is possible through astral projection to talk to loved ones that have passed. You may be able to do things that you cannot do in real life. Physical limitations seem to be removed. Chances are you have already done astral projection, but just do not remember it since you did not control it. Many dreams are actually astral projection. Now you can do it on purpose and you can have control.
