Looking At Astral Projection For Beginners

By Ian Newton

The term Astral Projection refers to the ability of projecting yourself outside your physical body to a different astral plane from where you can observe your own body and the world. It is an out of body experience where your body is completely asleep while your mind is at its wakeful best resulting in your astral body to float out and travel to different realms of consciousness.

Astral Projection for beginners is a tough nut to crack since astral travel pr se is an extremely difficult ability to develop and for beginners the route starts with a lot of failures. Understandably, beginners become frustrated and distressed over the inability to travel to other astral planes making the process all the more difficult.

Astral Projection for beginners must start with the management of the physical world. The first and the foremost thing to do would be to arrange for a calm and quiet room where there are minimal chances of any disturbances, whether human or electronic. Try not to have non vegetarian food or items like caffeine which increases body heat and cause too many thoughts to run about in the mind. A good way to start would be to roam around this dimly lit room thinking of all your life's problem s and an outlandish solution to them which in turn would do away with all the surface thoughts in your mind.

The second step in astral projection for beginners is to try to attain a state of trance. Remember that your basic objective is to make your body sleep, keeping a focused mind. In doing so you might focus on each part of your body, tense up all the muscles and then let them relax one by one. Thereafter, imagine yourself sinking down or feel as if you are sinking or going down a flight of steps. Be careful not to fall asleep and with every breath sink a little further. Concentrate on doing this till the time you sense your body to paralyze which reflects your being in a trance state.

The third step in astral travel is all about concentrating. Focus on a boring noise like the ticking of a clock or visualize an object and try concentrating on it without letting any stray thoughts in your head. Beginners can try to visualize an object at the back of their heads instead of the usual centre of the forehead technique, which will facilitate directing concentration towards a place that cannot be seen, thereby helping the overall astral projection process.

The fourth step is to be able to direct your energy and channelize it into the direction that you want. Firstly, feel and be aware of the energy flowing in you. Feel the tingling sensation in your spine and let yourself be engulfed with the free flowing force. After you are aware of your energy and can feel it flowing within, attempt to direct it towards your palms and thereafter tray to make an imaginary ball with the energy at the end of your finger tips. In this way you will be able to direct and control your energy into the object of your concentration.

Lastly, after you have been able to control your energy, have vision of yourself floating out or upwards from your physical body and charge this vision with your powerful energy. Imagine yourself climbing out, floating out or even being pulled out but let go of all fears so that your body doesn't suck you back. Astral Projection for beginners is at its crucial high in this step and be sure to focus al your attention and energy into this vision.

Remember that astral projection for beginners can be as short as few seconds but the main hindrances lie in the distress and frustration that people feel with failed attempts at first as well as the apprehensions regarding whether one can return back to their bodies after astral travel. In the first case, your body will not let you go while in the second case, your astral self would be sucked back into the body immediately. Hence, clear your mind from all negative thoughts and meditate in order to achieve those esoteric heights. Remember that practice and more practice is the only way towards experiencing something great like astral travel.
