Rather than practising astral projection at night, right before you go to sleep, start in the early morning hours when you're still feeling drowsy.

Some say that it's easier to reach the necessary state of relaxation and heightened awareness around dawn. Yet it is possible to astral travel at any time so there are no hard and fast rules. It is a personal preference or simply astral traveling when we feel empowered to do it.

Create the right atmosphere. Astral projection requires a state of deep relaxation, so it should be performed in a part of your home where you're completely comfortable. Lie on your bed or sofa and relax your mind and body. It's easier to perform astral projection alone than it is with someone else in the room. If you usually sleep with a partner, choose a room other than the bedroom to practice astral projection.

A good time to do it is when no one else is in and make sure no one is going to walk into the room when you're in astral flight. Draw the shades or curtains and rid the room of distracting noises.

The Astral Confusion

Any type of interruption could disrupt the state of relaxation you need to achieve. Lie down and relax.

Astral Travel - Telepathy and Dream Control

Position yourself on your back in your chosen room. Close your eyes and try to clear your mind of distracting thoughts. Concentrate on your body and how it feels. The goal is to achieve a state of complete mind and body relaxation. Flex your muscles and then loosen them. Start with your toes and work your way up your body, gradually making your way to your head. Make sure every muscle is completely relaxed when you are through. Breathe deeply and exhale completely. Don't hold tension in your chest and shoulders, just relax. Focus your mind on your breathing. Don't get carried away with thoughts of outside worries, and don't get preoccupied yet with the idea of your soul projecting from your body.

Just let yourself sink into relaxation. It can be helpful to use a quartz crystal to raise and speed up your vibrations as preparation. Gently hold the crystal on your third eye slightly above the centre of your eyebrows with closed eyes and breathing deeply. Feel the vibrations and your head clearing; you can envision golden, white, purple or any colour light if you like. During the meditation and astral travelling you can hold the crystal in your hand or place it on your chest or abdomen. The crystal will empower and protect you because of its high vibrations; negative energies have lower vibrations.

Reach a hypnotic state. This hypnotic state is normally known as the hypnagogic state. Let your body and mind approach sleep, but don't completely lose consciousness. Being at the edge of wakefulness and sleep, a hypnotic state, is necessary for astral projection to occur. Reach this state using the following method: Keeping your eyes closed, let your mind wander to a part of your body, such as your hand, foot or a single toe.

Enter into a state of vibration. Many report feeling vibrations, which come in waves at different frequencies, as the soul prepares to leave the body. Don't be afraid of the vibrations, since the presence of fear might cause you to leave your meditative state; instead, succumb to the vibrations as your soul prepares to leave your body. Use your mind to move your soul from your body. Imagine in your mind the room in which you are lying. Move your body in your mind to stand up. Get up off the bed and walk across the room, then turn around and look at your body on the bed.

Your OBE is successful if you feel as though you are gazing upon your body from across the room, and that your conscious self is now separate from your body. It takes a lot of practice to get to this point for some people, though for others it comes as naturally as breathing. Either way it is possible for everyone if it is desired and practised enough! If you have trouble completely lifting your soul from your body, try lifting just a hand or a leg at first. Keep practising until you're able to move across the room. Return to your body. Your soul always remains connected to your body with an invisible force, sometimes referred to as a "silver cord.

Move your fingers and toes - physically, not just in your mind - and let yourself regain full consciousness. Confirm that you are projecting your soul from your body. Once you have mastered the act of projecting your soul from your body in the same room, you will want to confirm that you were indeed in two separate planes.

The Startling Truth About Astral Projection

Next time you practice the astral projection, don't turn around to look at your body. Instead, leave the room and walk into another room in the house. Examine an object in the other room, something that you had never noticed before in the physical sense. Make a mental note of its color, shape and size, paying attention to as many details as possible. During subsequent astral projection sessions, go to locations that are less and less familiar to you. Each time, note details that you had never noticed before. After each session, physically verify the details.

After a few trips, you will be experienced enough to travel to locations that are completely unfamiliar with the confidence that you have actually performed astral projection. Some say that astral projection is dangerous, especially when one gets enough practice to explore unfamiliar places but it need not be.

Those people simply don't understand it or fear it because they don't use enough protection,. Before you astral project it is nice to imagine yourself bathed in a glowing, white light. Imagine it as a cloud around you or inside you; this will protect you from other thought forms or negative energy forms. There is so much to get into, but know that no harm will come to you unless you think it will. The thrill of having an OBE keeps some people out of their bodies for long periods of time, which is said to weaken the silver cord but the silver cord cannot be weakened.

It is pure energy and energy can't be eliminated or removed, only moved from one place to another, or one form or another so don't worry about astral travelling; it is natural, powerful and healing. The silver cord can never be broken, but it is said that your soul can be delayed from re-entering your body if you spend too much energy outside of it.

Yet your soul and body are so intrinsically entwined that the soul will naturally come back when it's right to. Some say that demons can inhabit the body while the soul is being projected. If you fear this may happen, protect your body by blessing the room with a prayer before you perform projection. It is only hearsay anyway and seeing as you'll have already asked for light protection nothing bad will occur.

Your soul can also interact with other astral projections. Try it with a friend who has practiced as much as you have. Some say astral sex is mind blowing. However, remember to always return to your body. It is possible to heal others during astral travel; this is a form of distance healing that is very powerful. Envision the sick person, perhaps lying in their bed.

It doesn't matter if they're not physically in their bed while you're doing it because time and distance become void when you're in the astral plane. Always ask for protection, healing power and guidance from whomever you pray to and envision light; you can ask during astral projection as and when you wish. The absence of these individuals during life-or-death situations is revealing. Practitioners of astral travel insist that the experience must be real because it seems so vivid, and because some of the experiences are similar, even for people from different cultures.

But it's not surprising that many people who try astral projection have similar experiences — after all, that's what the term "guided imagery" is: According to researcher Susan Blackmore, author of "Beyond the Body: An Investigation of Out-of-the-Body Experiences," people who experience astral travel "have been found to score higher on measures of hypnotizability and, in several surveys, on measures of absorption, [a] measure of a person's ability to pay complete attention to something and to become immersed in it, even if it is not real, like a film, play, or imagined event.

Though astral projection practitioners insist their experiences are real, their evidence is all anecdotal — just as a person who takes peyote or LSD may be truly convinced that they interacted with God, dead people, or angels while in their altered state. Astral projection is an entertaining and harmless pastime that can seem profound, and in some cases even life-changing. But there's no evidence that out-of-body-experiences happen outside the body instead of inside the brain.

Until the existence of an astral plane can be proven — and made accessible — there's always the continuing adventures of the Sorcerer Supreme. He covers pseudoscience, psychology, urban legends and the science behind "unexplained" or mysterious phenomenon. Ben has a master's degree in education and a bachelor's degree in psychology.

He is deputy editor of Skeptical Inquirer science magazine and has written, edited or contributed to more than 20 books, including " Scientific Paranormal Investigation: His website is www. Live Science Strange News Reference: If you think that colors in your life are unimportant, imagine eliminating color from your life. Imagine decorating your bedroom in BLACK, remove all color items, put a black furniture and linen and see how you would feel.

The most effective seems to be meditation and concentration between am each morning, followed by a controlled dream when you go back to bed. Self-discipline is the most difficult part. Simply speaking, you should try to slow down the process of getting asleep again. When the dream comes, you are already awake and you can consciously try to control what happens.

You can fly, change places etc.. Your OWN thought is your "genie", so if you are afraid, you create a nightmare immediately. Be aware, that any thought related in ANY way to your physical body such as a desire to speak, move hands or any part of the body, look at your body, fear that you may hurt your body etc.. Be prepared that what you think you "know" may be a BIG hindrance in astral travel. It may be a doctrine, paradigm or a habit, rather than the knowledge. Any such thought brings you BACK very quickly.

It is best not to expect anything, and telepathically ask questions like "I want to know what is best for me to learn TODAY". It will be your Higher Self your own higher consciousness who will choose the best lesson for you. Don't forget to be grateful. Note, that posing ambiguous request may result in unpredictable situation. For example, requesting to go 15, years back may bring you to the Moon or a middle of a volcano, simply because you have not specified the location precisely.

On the other hand, a request to see your mother NOW even if you don't know where she is, or is not alive is very precise and is more likely to be successful. Discipline of thoughts is essential a hard bit. It is best to exercise a discipline of thoughts during the day, all the time, so it becomes your natural state of mind.

Don't be surprised if you cannot remember details of your astral travel after you come back. It is essential to stand up and write them down immediately after you finished your travel.

Again, discipline is needed, because when you are half asleep after your astral travel everything seems so obvious that it seems that you can remember it forever.
