Astral Projection

The one thing that goes hand in hand with meditation, is astral projection. First I must explain to you that every human being is composed of two parts. The physical body, and the astral body, or spirit. Most of us are only aware that we have a physical body, and just live our lives not knowing anything about our astral body. However, even though we are not aware of it, it does exist, and it becomes active everytime we fall asleep. It is what is responsible for our dreams or nightmares. Each time we are asleep, we are actually traveling outside of our bodies. But because we are not conscious of it, we only take in fragments, or portions of these experiences, which we often forget upon waking up. The parts that we do remember, are when we become conscious only briefly during our sleep. So they can be taken as negative or positive experiences. Most dreams occur in the REM phase of our sleep. REM stands for rapid eye movement. This is also the phase where if you are conscious, you astral project.

There is a state between astral projection, and dreaming. This is where you have the ability to control what happens in your dreams,you are self aware that you are dreaming, but you are not conscious in your physical body. This is called lucid dreaming, you can go places, and remember what happens. But because you are not conscious of your physical body, you won’t benefit from it as much as you could if you were really astral projecting.

For conscious astral projection, it is basically what you would call, conscious sleep. Your body is asleep, but you are still conscious. You get there through meditation. In this state, you cannot move your body. You are paralyzed. This is often frightening, but if you can learn to ignore it, you become conscious that you are infact, a spiritual being inside of a physical body. You have the ability to leave the physical body, and explore the astral plane. You can go anywhere, and do anything. You are not tied to space or time, you can travel to the past, travel to anywhere in the world, or travel to the future. As the past present and future are all simultaneously occuring at the same time. This is where you can find the akashic records, experience the divine, experience love and oneness with the universe, and bring healing energy into your body. It is the source of creativity and inspiration. Your physical body, is the tool to express this, and experience it. The astral plane, is what shapes our physical reality.

Because we have the ability to consciously be aware of astral projecting, this can be used as 100% proof that we are spiritual beings. However, to someone that hasn’t astral projected before, they will always argue this fact. It is not something that can be explained with words, it is something that must be experienced directly, on an individual basis. For that reason alone, there will always be beliefs and theories. You do not need faith, when you can have experience. But try telling that to someone full of religious dogma.

If you do wish to experience astral projection, you need not be afraid. It is perfectly safe, and healthy for you to do. You will always return to your physical body, because you are attached to it by some sort of cord, that is only severed upon death. You cannot cause death to your physical body by astral projecting. Why this cord exists, I do not know. But the spirit is bound to the physical body until you die. I will be doing more research on this cord, and write another post about it, and the subject of reincarnation and past lives.

There is an entire trancendental world out there for humans to explore and experience. It is massive with multiple levels of consciousness. The more research I do, the deeper it gets, but reading can only take me so far. Experiencing it is the one and only way to confirm the words I have read and written. It is the only way to understand the truth of life.
