The Basics Of Astral Travel

Many people are intrigued and fascinated by the realness of astral projection, its various techniques, benefits, and consequences. Also known as astral travel or conscious projection, the history of this phenomenon is as old as humanity. And although there are many skeptics questioning the existence of astral travel, a good number of people still believe that a journey to the different astral planes is possible.

Astral projection is a kind of virtual reality that occurs when a person consciously separates his or her astral body (energy, spirit, soul) from the physical. Dreams, near death experiences (NDEs), and out-of-body experiences (OBEs) are all virtual realities that come from personal experience. Because astral projection is a subjective experience that cannot be scientifically measured, a lot of people still doubt the existence of astral travel.

An Overview

Desire is by far the most important factor in inducing out-of-body situations. And although there are hundreds of astral projection techniques available, there is no single approach to accomplishing projection. As such, one has to be really interested in performing the art so as to be successful. Strong desire, proper knowledge, and constant practice are all very important as the whole process is not easy to complete.

One of the most commonly encountered problems in astral travel is fear, particularly the fear of what might occur if the astral body does indeed leave the physical realm. The major part of this fear originates from misinformation regarding the practice. Again, having the right knowledge is important. To learn the secrets to a successful astral projection, there are various resources from which one can choose from. You just have to find the one you’re totally comfortable with.

The Benefits

There are a variety of reasons why some people decide to astral project. Some do it to travel back in time or into the future, to visit departed loved ones, to help lost souls find their way to the afterlife, to explore the unknown, or simply to have fun. And while most people think that astral travel is only for those who have the innate talent to do it, the opposite is actually true as anyone can successfully project themselves with the right knowledge and practice.

The Danger

When you astral project, your physical body is left in the physical world. A silver cord, which attaches your physical body to the astral body, keeps you connected to the physical realm. Critics of this practice claim that it’s dangerous to astral project because of the possibility that the cord could be severed and the person would be unable to return to the physical body. When the cord is cut for whatever reason, the person who is lost in a different dimension may no longer awaken and eventually die.

Despite these opinions, there is no scientific evidence as to such claims. In fact, there are no reports of death happening due to astral projection. But then again, science has no evidence that astral projection does really occur. Nevertheless, it is strongly believed by those who are religious and those who are believers of the paranormal that everyone has the capability for astral travel and has experienced such phenomenon at some point in his life.

In closing

Although astral projection was utilized centuries ago by some ancient individuals (such as Aztec Indians and Egyptians), many people are still not convinced that such experience is possible. On the other hand, there are a good number of individuals who believe that astral travel is a new frontier that needs to be really explored to be further understood. For them, astral travel is something metaphysical; that is, it exists at a level that is not easily understood by people living in the physical world.
