HOW TO ASTRAL TRAVEL OUT OF THE BODY
Step
1. Before dropping off to sleep, put your body into
a deep state of relaxation. Do this by systematically
tensing and relaxing each muscle one at a time.
Start with the toes and work up the body to the
face. This will put your body into such an unfamiliar
deep state of relaxation that in the early days
you may feel a little discomfort. Your body may
feel unbearably heavy but there's nothing to worry
about.
Step
2 Now let your breathing become slow and deep- you may want
to use some of the breathing techniques we learnt
at the beginning of the book. Slow, deep breathing
will relax you further and keep you alert. Focus
your attention on the centre of your forehead
but DON'T fall asleep.
Step
3 Become
aware of just how heavy your body feels. Think
of it as being cumbersome and made of clay. Now
set your attention on your astral duplicate body. See it as made of light. It is
weightless and free. Picture in your mind's eye
images of bubbles, sunlight, feathers floating
on the breeze, smoke rising upwards. Your body
is heavy but your soul is weightless.
Step
4 At
this point many people report of being able to
'see' the darkened room even though their eyes
are closed. It appears to be bathed in a purple
light. If you get this far, try to focus your
attention on the ceiling light fitting.
Step
5 Imagine drawing the light bulb towards you. As you do
this you may feel yourself floating towards the
ceiling. Try to remain conscious. You will become
aware of floating in your astral self and may
even see your sleeping body laid below you on
the bed.
