You’ve almost certainly at least heard of astral projection before. You might have learned of it from a book or movie or perhaps a friend has been talking about it. While you know the term and maybe even have an idea of what it is, what you probably don’t know is that this is not something which only happens in fiction. Astral projection is real and it’s something which anyone can learn to do. In fact, you’ve probably already astral projected and were unaware of it.

But what is astral projection, exactly? This is the ability to leave one’s physical body � this is something which often happens while we are sleeping. When our bodies are at rest and our conscious minds largely disengaged, our subconscious remains active. You may not remember doing so, but you have almost certainly had some experience with astral projection.

When you astral project, you can visit any place in the past, present or future. All you have to do is to focus on it and you can go there. Your astral body is not limited by physical proximity and when your body sleeps, it is free to travel.

The next question is what the astral body is. It is the ethereal body. The astral body is the invisible duplicate of the body. It houses all our desires and feelings. Does the astral body leave and not return? A silver cord connects the physical and astral bodies together.

This connection is there from your birth until your death. The silver cord keeps your astral and physical bodies inextricably linked for your entire life.

You may wonder where you may go when you astral project. The astral body goes to the astral plane. It is the invisible double of the Earth. It has a faster vibration than the physical Earth and its vibrations penetrate to the center of the Earth. Some define it as another dimension of reality. However, the majority agree that there are many levels of the astral plane.

Can astral travel be dangerous? The answer is both yes and no. If you exercise caution when astral projecting and decide beforehand where you want to travel to, then astral travel is safe as long as you are in the proper state of mind.

Astral projecting while in a chemically induced altered state can be dangerous; your astral body will be affected and travel the lower levels of the astral plane, which are more hazardous.

It is essential that you know what it is you do and where it is you want to go. Your goal is to consciously astral project. You need to have complete control of what your astral body is doing. Your thoughts control your astral projection.

With the proper preparation, you can begin learning to astral project in little time. Most people like to do their astral projection while alone in the privacy of their home. That said, there are astral projection professionals who conduct group astral travel sessions in order to help others learn how to control their astral projection and to make the most of the experience. You may want to try astral projection both on your own and in a group under the guidance of a professional.

There are a lot of helpful resources out there to help you learn astral projection. There are books and websites which contain useful information and recordings such as astral projection hypnosis recordings. You can listen to these recordings to relax and allow your subconscious to hear the messages on the recordings that it’s time to astral project. A breakthrough in audio technology, binaural beats can help you to astral project in short order. These are special recordings which feature slightly different frequencies for each ear and cause you to relax and reach the meditative state required for astral projection.

A new audio technology called binaural beats can also help you to begin astral projecting quickly. These are slightly different frequencies which are played into each ear. These frequencies relax you and allow you to easily attain the mental state needed for astral projection.

You may not be successful on the first few tries, but don’t let this discourage you. Astral projection takes practice just like any other skill. It’s a natural ability, but it does take some time and patience before you’ll be an expert at it.

If you�re not convinced that you can astral project, think back to one of those dreams you’ve had where you’re flying, then falling. This was an astral projection, not a dream. The flying you experienced was your astral body traveling and the falling sensation was your astral body returning to your physical body. This is something which any one of us can do and it will become easier with practice.
