For those that are new to astral projecting, there can be a number of stumbling blocks that you need to overcome before you can successfully astral project. First you need to understand that you already have the ability, everyone does. So this isn't about trying to learn something new, or doing something that isn't natural. 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 just have to practice. The same holds true for astral projecting.
A lot of people find just relaxing to be a stumbling block on the way to learning astral projection. In order to astral project, youll need to relax both mind and body. There are a number of different techniques which can help you to relax, including breathing techniques and methods of muscle relaxation.
Obviously, youll have a much easier time astral projecting if you are doing this in a relaxed environment. Follow these tips to get relaxed and have the best chance of success as you prepare to astral project.
*Make sure that you are not wearing jewelry or other items that are in contact with your skin. (Clothes are acceptable, but removing very tight clothing sometimes 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 shouldnt 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 position yourself, use the sun as your guide.
*While you practice astral projecting, make sure that the clothes you wear keep you warm, but are comfortable and loosely fitting.
*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.
*Practice your breathing techniques and relax.
*As you are using your breathing techniques and beginning to relax, concentrate on the blackness ahead of you.
*The next step is to place your focus on a point which lies around a foot from your forehead. Once you get your focus on this point, move it to another point which is about six feet away.
*Next, imagine a line running at a 90 degree angle from this focal point to a point parallel to your body.
These tips will help you to prepare for astral projecting. You need to have full mental control of the process, so that your astral body doesn't just wander off directionless. When you astral project you can go anywhere and do anything, so focus on the wheres and whats.
There are some astral projecting practitioners that are able to talk with loved ones they have lost. There are others that take part in activities that they are not able to do in the physical realm of reality. Contrary to what you may think, you have done this already. Now you need to have control over what is happening. Those dreams that you wake up and remember really well were actually astral traveling. Now it is time for you to learn to do it intentionally to reap the benefits of what astral projecting can do for you.
