Yoga and Meditation

If a person has the power or ability to break away the shackles of his physical body and travel to higher realms of consciousness in his free spirit or astral body self, the ability and the action thereof is known as astral projecting. Hence, this calls for attaining a deep trance condition through meditation in order to gain control over your sub conscious.

Astral projecting thus is a travel like no other. It is a journey of a life time that lets you transcend the boundaries of the physical universe and gives you the chance to observe yourself and the world from a higher plane of existence. It is a spiritual journey which forever changes one’s perspective towards, life, death, reality, relationship and his own true potential.

The history of astral projecting can be traced back to the ancient times and across all ancient civilization, religions and cultures. It was believed in and practiced by spiritual travelers from Egypt to China and finds mention in the ancient Hindu Upanishads to the comparatively modern bible.

In Egypt, one of the oldest civilizations of the world, the concept of soul or ‘ka’ existed. The ‘ka’ was believed to be immortal, trapped in the physical body, which had the power to move out and travel to other ethereal realms. It is infact for this very reason that their bodies were anointed and preserved so that it could travel to the next world along with ‘ka’ after death.

Coming eastwards to India, secrets of astral projecting and actual experiences of the same can be found in the ancient religious scriptures of Hinduism. Known as one of the most spiritually advanced philosophies in the world, it has always believed the concept of soul to be an omnipotent, immortal force of energy residing within the physical body of every man having the full power to do and go as it desires if its true potential is harnessed and mastered.

In case of the Chinese counterpart, astral projecting is achieved through alchemical practices, known as the separation of the spiritual body. This involves the extensive breathing meditation techniques in order to create another energy body. In simple words, a person deeply breaths and meditates to draw in energy into himself, in a small pearl like structure which is thereafter circulated in order to create the energy body which leaves the physical one and travels outwards and upwards.

Astral projecting can also be found in the western philosophies starting from the classical phase till the modern beliefs. In this case the astral body is considered to be the link between man’s physical body and his soul while astral projecting in an astral plane is considered as travel amidst galaxies and the stars between the realms of heaven and Earth. Astral Projecting is described in the bible as traveling outside and beyond the physical body with a silver energy cord linking the two.

Thus, whatever the belief and whatever the practice in different religions over different transitions of time, it can be seen that astral projecting has forever been in vogue. Believed in different concepts and achieved in separate practices, it is that journey of one’s inner soul that can be attained by each and every human. The key to its lies in meditation, being aware of one’s subconscious and gaining a certain amount of control over it in order to project it outside for this one in a life time experience.
