Yoga and Meditation

When a person is able to keep his body asleep but keep his mind wakeful and focused so as to project his astral body outside his physical body to the different realms of consciousness or astral planes, he is known to be capable of astral projection.

An extremely difficult ability to develop, it creates a lot of distress and frustration for beginners. Thus, learning the special techniques, having patience and most importantly regular practice is what leads to successful astral projection for beginners.

As the first step towards successful astral projection for beginners, the physical world needs to be managed. Get yourself a space where you are comfortable and will not be disturbed by any person or electronic devices. Abstain from having non vegetarian food, caffeine and the like which generates heat and increases the number of thoughts in your mind. When you make the arrangements or walk about the dimly lit room, think of all the problems that you have and thereafter think of a solution however bizarre it may be, so that all surface thoughts leave your mind.

Astral Projection for beginners should now start with attaining a deep trance condition where only the body falls asleep. Beginners can try this by concentrating on each part of the body, tensing up all the muscles and relaxing them each at a time. After the body is relaxed, feel yourself sinking down, taking deep breaths. Sinking a little further with every breath will keep your mind from falling asleep while you wait for a sense of paralysis in your body indicating a state of trance.

The third step consists of concentration which needs a lot of practice. After you have attained a deep trance, concentrate on a monotonous noise or visualization which would not let any stray thoughts enter your mind. Regular meditation helps a lot in case of beginners. One of the best strategy is to concentrate on something at the back of your head, preferably not a person. Doing this helps to focus your mind on a difficult spot which cannot be seen with your eyes and is a great technique in case of astral projection for beginners.

The fourth important step in astral projection for beginners is learning to successfully channel one’s energy. When you are successfully concentrating, feel the energy that is flowing in you. Awareness of one’s energy gives a tingling sensation, feel it and feel its force throughout your body. Gradually try channeling the energy towards the direction of your palms and thereafter try and make an imaginary ball at the end of your fingertips so as to channel and control your energy.

The last step in astral projection for beginners involve the actual separation of your body from your astral self. In case of beginners, or for that matter anybody else, it is the most vital and crucial stage. For beginners, the best way to do this would be to visualize floating or even climbing out of your own body with a rope and then direct all your attention and channelize all your energies into this vision charging it up so as to counter the pull from your body.

As a conclusion it can be said that the first astral projection experience can be as short as a few seconds. Do not be distressed and always remember that astral projection is something that can only be mastered through practice. Moreover, even the slightest of fears regarding returning to your physical body will result in its pulling you back, so just believe that you can do it and let go of yourself.
