Learning How To Astral Travel

By Timmy Shaw

Astral projection is basically just another way of describing an out-of-body experience, but the two terms are not always synonymous with one another. What I mean by this is not all instances of astral projection are intentional; you might see several internet walk-throughs on how to execute AP with the complete intention of doing so. But, more often than not, astral projection occurs without the traveler actually consciously deciding to do so. What will be discussed here is a guide to astral projection, but more a guide to the various ways in which projection can occur spontaneously.

One of the most commonly known instances of involuntary projection occurs at the moment of death. Many people who were near the deceased before said individual passed on have reported seeing the nearly-departed person's soul lifting out of the body - usually through the head - right before the person passed away. There have also been instances of souls projecting themselves into the homes of loved ones at the moment the owner of said soul has died in some way or another. This is to let the loved ones know what has happened.

Physical pain and illness may make cause the soul to project as well; the body may be in a decreased state of consciousness due to the physical impairment, which means a less firm grasp on the soul. In such a state of being, the astral body can depart the corporeal body with greater ease.

A similar effect can be experienced when under the influence of anesthesia the body is not conscious, so the soul may decide to take the opportunity to drift. This is why many people report looking down upon themselves being operated on, or knowing exactly what the doctors were discussing during the surgery that couldn't have been known unless the patient was conscious.

Near-death experiences can also bring about out-of-body experiences nearly being run over by a car, or nearly drowning, for example. Even if you are technically 'dead' and brought back to life via procedures like CPR or heart massage, the soul may lift from the body until said earthly body is healthy enough for the soul to return to it.

And, of course, the most common manner in which the astral essence migrates from the physical body is when the person is asleep. Obviously, consciousness is limited, making the earthly body's grasp on the soul not quite as strong. Just about everyone projects during their sleep, but they don't remember doing so. If you've ever been awakened for seemingly no reason in the middle of your sleep and felt like you've been "jolted" awake, you were most likely projecting and your soul just had a rough landing when re-entering your body. - 30309
