Astral Projection Techniques
SUMMARY: Astral
Projection is a form of Out Of Body Experience (OOBE) that sometimes occurs during lucid dreaming, during deep meditation or at times of crisis. The soul moves
into an astral body (or "etheric double"),
which moves free of the physical body in a parallel
world known as the astral plane.
HOW TO ASTRAL PROJECT
ASTRAL
TRAVEL CLAIMS
During an astral voyage, communication with other
astral projectors is claimed to be possible. Of interest
is the work of Robert Monroe who founded the Monroe
Institute and published several accounts of his experiences
of astral projection including "Far Journeys".
Robert Monroe developed a method he calls Hemisync
to induce mental states that are favourable for projection
Sometimes the astral traveler reports being attached
to his/her physical body by a silver umbilical cord.
Pets have been said to react in a frightened manner,
and some claim seeing an astrally projecting person's
spirit as a coloured beam or shot or light darting
around the room.

How to Astral Project
Step-by-step Technique
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 BY STEP
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.

What is astral traveling?
LISTENING IN FROM THE CEILING
DURING CARDIAC ARREST
Astral Projection
ASTRAL TRAVEL RESEARCH
 The
studies made by researchers such as doctor's Sabom, Kubber-Ross
and Moody of testimonials from hospital patients who have been
snatched from the brink demonstrate that most people
report similar experiences- they step outside of their body
into their astral form.
From a vantage point, usually on the ceiling, they see
their 'dead' body. Sometimes they recall, when resuscitated,
of having seen their operation in progress. They narrate details
about the procedures that, without an extensive medical knowledge,
they could have never known.

ASTRAL TRAVEL EXAMPLE
Here's a fascinating example that
was sent to me at one of my columns in the newspapers:In 1967
I had a severe asthma attack and was rushed to the old Royal
Hospital in Portsmouth. I vaguely recall waking in an oxygen
tent and a lot of fuss going on around me. I don't know at what
point I drifted out of my body but I do know now that my heart
stopped and I was rushed to the Resuscitation Ward. I could
see myself attached to a ventilator with lots of wires connected
to me. I could see a doctor, two nurses and the bizarre sight
of a man dressed in a bow-tie and full evening suit!
I then went into cardiac arrest and I saw them all trying to
restart my heart. I was in no pain and felt no difficulty with
my breathing. I was an onlooker, so to speak, watching myself
in the hospital bed.
We had no telephone at home and I saw the police bring my
husband to the hospital. 'Is there any hope?' I heard him
say. 'Very little' replied the man in the evening suit. That
was the only moment I felt unhappy.
I felt myself falling down a tunnel and saw my life flash
before me like a rapid series of camera pictures. Suddenly
I was standing and feeling wonderful with a sense of lightness,
happiness and knew that I was surrounded by a great love.
Added to this was a feeling of tranquility. I felt so well
it was wonderful!
I then found myself stood to one side of a small arched bridge.
There were people singing, not hymns but a lovely song of
joy. There were colours such as I have never seen. I wanted
to join them but thoughts of my husband stopped me. There
were also things that I still wanted to do in life such as
have a baby- but it was so very, very tempting to cross.

ASTRAL TRAVEL EXPERIENCE
Stood on the bridge was a Jewish man holding a cross. He
'spoke' to me telepathically and asked 'Are you ready to cross?'
I recall saying 'No. No No!' then immediately returned to
my body. I could now 'hear' conversations going on around
me in the hospital. 'She's slipping away' they said. But I
knew that I would live and started fighting the ventilator
to prove that I could breathe by myself. 'Why can't these
people see I'm not going to die?'.
After four days I was detached from the ventilator and gradually
got well. The man who previously wore the evening suit when
I was in a coma was now in a doctor's white coat as he walked
into the ward. I asked the nurse about him. 'He's the surgeon
who performed a tracheotomy operation on you to try to save
your life' said the nurse. 'I know' I replied 'But why was
he wearing a bow-tie and evening suit?' The nurse was dumb
struck and then explained that they had to call him from a
very important dinner engagement!
I did have a child- a son who is now 27. The pervious year
I lost a baby but I know he lives on and one day I will see
him. I know I am lucky to have had such a wonderful experience.

TRAVEL & ASTRAL PROJECTION DREAMS
From Craig Hamilton-Parker's Book Psychic
Dreaming:
Out-of-body dreams, in which you
"float" up and look down upon yourself or
upon another location, are a form of psychic dream.
Some psychics claim they visit other actual locations,
often ones that they've never seen. Traveling out
of the body is sometimes called Astral Projection.
Frederik van Eeden presented one of the first studies
of out of body dreams to the Society of Psychical
Research in 1913. Van Eeden had already presented
evidence for lucid dreams in which the dreamer becomes
conscious while the dream is taking place. He told
the society that his own lucid dreams were often preceded
for several nights by dreams of flying. Sometimes
these lucid dreams included apparent clairvoyantly
received information that could be verified later.
In other instances he believed he left his body.
In one instance while 'flying' he dreamed that he
would be robbed of a large sum of money, a predicted
event that was to take place soon afterwards. Of great
interest to Van Eeden was when he noted that sometimes
he would dream of lying on his stomach when in reality
he was lying in bed and on his back. If he allowed
himself to wake slowly he would experience the sensation
of slipping from his 'dream body' that was lying face
down into his actual sleeping body.
Depending upon the person, the appearance of the
'dream body' ranges from a gossamer-like form to an
exact replica of the physical body. Having the ability
to project consciousness can open up many interesting
opportunities to the dreamer. Some claim to be able
to travel to remote locations. They claim to be able
to walk the beaches of Hawaii, explore the ancient
pyramids of Egypt or even have a free ticket to the
moon.
Craig's
Astral Projection Experience
I have had many of these experiences myself but have
found in most instances that it is hard to maintain
consciousness for long periods of time. My own experience
is one of projecting my awareness rather than a dream
body. Nonetheless on occasions I have looked down
at my sleeping body from the ceiling and have sometimes
awoken with clear memories of having visited a remote
location. Many people report having these experiences
during puberty.
At first the experience of being without a body is
frightening if you have never heard about astral projection.
It is natural to assume that you are dead and panic
sets in. The result is usually a quick return to the
body. A quick return is sometimes accompanied by sensations
of a jolt to the physical body accompanied by a loud
band and a flash of brilliant light. Once the initial
fears are overcome astral travel become natural and
is not accompanied by any negative sensations.
