Astral Projecting Explained
A lot of people find that there are some things which are stumbling block sot them as they attempt to learn astral projecting. However, this is something which all of us can do – it’s a natural ability which every man and woman already has. Much like riding a bike, you don’t forget how; but you do have to keep in practice in order to do it well.
The thing which most people tend to find the most difficult about learning astral projecting is the ability to relax completely. You have to relax both body and mind in order to successfully astral project. There are a few different methods which can help you to attain this relaxed state, including breathing techniques and muscle relaxation.
When astral projecting, you need an environment which allows you to be comfortable and fully relaxed. The tips in this article will help you to relax and begin astral projecting.
*Make sure that you are not wearing jewelry or other items that would be contacting your skin. (Clothes are acceptable, but for some removing clothing helps).
*Make sure that the room you are going to relax in and practice your astral projecting is dark. Dark enough so that light can not be seen through your eyelids, but you shouldn’t turn off all the lights.
*Orient your body on a north-south axis. Your head should be towards the north – if you are unsure how to orients yourself, use the sun as your guide.
*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.
*Start using your relaxation techniques (you should also practice these outside of your astral projecting sessions). If you want to astral project, you have to be completely relaxed.
*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.
*Continue to practice your breathing.
*As you are breathing focus on the blackness in front of you.
*Start to focus on a point which is about one foot away from your forehead. Once you have done this, move your focus to a point about six feet away.
*Now you want to make a 90 degree angle that goes from your six foot away focus up so that you are drawing an imaginary line that runs parallel to you 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.
