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 biggest problem which many face as they learn astral projecting is learning to relax fully. To astral project, you have to be able to totally relax your body and your mind. There are a lot of different ways which you can relax – these methods include muscle relaxation and breathing techniques.
Naturally though if the environment is not conducive to promoting a relaxed environment then your astral projection session is not going to go as smoothly or be as successful as you would like it to be. Here are a number of tips that you can follow to help get the most out of your preparation.
*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.
*Position your body pointing from north to south, with your head at the northern end. Use the sun as your guide if you are unsure which way is north. Remember, the sun sets in the west and rises in the east.
*When you are astral projecting, your clothes should be loose and comfortable, but should also keep you warm.
*Make sure that you have a place which is quiet and where you will not be distracted as you practice your astral projecting.
*Start by using relaxation techniques which get the best results for you. You need to be able to relax completely, so this is very important.
*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.
*Use breathing techniques to bring yourself into a relaxed state.
*Focus on the blackness ahead of you as you relax.
*Now you want to focus on a point or object about a foot away from your forehead, once you focus on that object change your focus to 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.
By following these tips, you’ll be well prepared for astral projecting. In order to get the best results from astral projection, you need to be in full control mentally. Your astral body may wander off randomly otherwise, which is a waste of your efforts. You can go anywhere and do anything when you are astral projecting, so make sure to think of where you’d like to go and what you’d like to do.
Astral projecting experts have been able to speak with loved ones who have departed and to do things which are beyond the capacities of their physical bodies. You too can learn how to do all of this with some practice. You have astral projected before –those dreams which you remember every detail of when you awaken are astral travels! If you work at it, you can make the most of your astral projecting and have these incredible experiences at will.
