Astral Projection for Beginners!

First take a few things into consideration:

• The levels of natural ability will vary – from some, it might be easier and faster, for others, it may take up to months.

• Different factors might help or inhibit a projection from happening

• Be sure to follow the basics and stick to them for at least 2-3 weeks!

• When trying a technique, try to stick to it for at least 2 weeks, and then if you don’t see any result, try with another one.

There are different types of techniques, relying on visualization or creativity or others that are more technical.

We will go through 2 beginner-friendly techniques – one of them including visualization, and another that is more technical.

1. The Early Morning Method - by William Buhlman

Step 1: Pick a time in advance

Decide on what time you are going to experience an OBE, and several hours before the chosen time, keep reminding to yourself of the focused goal.

Step 2: Set an alarm

Put an alarm, that should wake you up approximately 4 hours after you are asleep.

Step 3: Relax and go to sleep

When you go to sleep, relax and keep repeating your intention to have a fully conscious OBE.
Affirmations are very important for that technique, so don’t overestimate them.
Tip: A good idea is to meditate, while still keeping the intention in your mind

Step 4: Wake up after 4 hours

After waking up, get up for around 15 minutes and lay comfortably ON YOUR SOFA (or a place, which is not your bed!).
Lay down, close your eyes and relax. This is when the real thing starts.

Almost all of the astral projection techniques are starting with complete relaxation of both your mind and body.

It is quite an important step for experiencing an OBE.

So, relax your mind and all of your muscles. Meditation and breathing are very important for astral traveling.

Step 5: Focus on the intention

Focus your full conscious awareness away from your body.
While laying, focus your mind on the intention to have an out of body experience.
Keep repeating the aim, silently in your mind. (for example, “I will experience astral projection”)
Select a physical object around you, such as the door in your room. Try to imagine yourself walking around your home.

Simply and clearly imagine how your body is walking in the other room, observing objects, etc.
Train yourself to enhance your state of consciousness. It is very important to be fully aware and focused on the goal.
Hold this vision and don’t forget to repeat the focused aim ”Now I am going to have an out of body experience”.
Hold this goal as your last conscious thought as you drift off.

  

       2. The Rope technique by Steve G. Jones

It is a great approach for people who are attending to experience an astral projection but who feel they are having difficulty in imagining and visualizing.

 

Step 1: Relax!

Simply lay down, preferably before going to sleep, when it is complete darkness, close your eyes and relax.
Take deep breaths, in and out. If you practiced meditation, simply do that.

Empty your mind, and focus on your breathing.

Step 2: Hypnagogic state (half-asleep half-awake)

After feeling fully relaxed, you should enter the hypnagogic state.
It is a phase, where your mind is at the edge of sleep and wakefulness.
It is while your eyes are still closed and usually includes having colorful visualizations, random speckles or patterns
 .

Try to focus on an object that you see – stare at it until you can see it perfectly.

Try to increase the relaxation state. Still, be focused on the chosen from you object.
If you miss it, don’t worry, just find a new one and focus on it again.

Step 3: Deepen your state of relaxation

After a while, the patterns and visuals should go. Simply stop paying attention, which will make them disappear.
Once they are away, you have entered the deeper state of relaxation.
Now, you should be so relaxed that you are no longer aware of your physical body.

Step 4: The vibration state

This is one of the most essential steps.

A lot of people are getting scared here and overwhelmed, but you should know that if you feel them, that is a sign that you are on the right way!

The state of vibration takes different time for everyone, and if you are new, it may be a bit longer.
Your real, psychical body won’t be moving, even if you feel it does.
The vibrations indicate that your astral body started leaving your physical body.
Simply accept this and observe the vibrations. Focus on them as they move throughout your body.
By practicing OBEs, you will be able to control the vibrations, to change the frequency, to increase or decrease them.

If it is one of your first times, just examine them and use your willpower in order to command them.

Once you master this, you will be able to use them when needed.

Step 5: Visualize the rope

Here is another part, where you need to use your control and willpower.
Imagine that there is a long rope hanging right above you.
Let your “Astral hands” grab the rope and pull up your body. Just climb the rope but do all this in your imagination.
Don’t open your eyes, and make sure that you are completely focused on climbing the rope.
You should feel quite alert and ”awakened” (not in reality, though).

Slowly place a hand over hand on the rope as if you were pulling yourself up.
Often, you might begin to feel dizzy, but don’t worry! That is a sign which means you are projecting properly.
The dizziness is the astral body loosening from your body.
Sometimes, people here feel paralyzed or withdrawn back into their physical bodies, but that is when they are not focused entirely on the goal.
You should completely concentrate on climbing the rope.
Don’t stop until you feel your entire self-separating from your body.

That’s it! Now you should be able to hover around your physical body!

The rope technique gives you experience with the mental action needed to astral project.

 

Here are a few tips to take into consideration:

•  It is the moment of releasing out of your physical body, and you should try to focus on the feelings of dizziness.It is a feeling you must learn to control.

•  You might feel some weight right before a trance.You might think that you experience sleep paralysis, and that is very likely to happen.However, another possibility is that your chakras will open up.After that, you might feel elevated energy and your body will continue to feel very heavy.

•  Be ready that your body will feel a mixture of sensations, but do not let them confuse or distract you.
