1. ASTRAL PROJECTION
The human body is made up of seven sheaths or layers. They are: The
physical body, emotional body, mental body, intellectual body, volitional
body (decision making) subconscious body and the soul. Each sheath
occupies the same space, but vibrates at different levels. Astral projection
is within the spiritual or soul and is part of one of the seven sheaths and it
is the act of consciously separating your spiritual self from your physical
self.
Astral projection is different from an out of body experience, although it is
a type of out of body experience. It is also similar with lucid dreaming,
because you are conscious and in control. With astral projection you are
protected by what many people describe as a silver cord. It is a protection
mechanism in case there is any doubt of being able to come back. In most
other out of body experiences, there is no such protection. Some are able
to see this kind of tether while it is invisible to others and yet you are able
to move about anywhere you want to by what is referred to as astral
travel. Some believe that if you had flying dreams as a child, which is a
common dream among children, it was actually astral travel. The ability to
have those dreams in adult hood tends to disappear.
While on an astral travel excursion, you probably won’t see much of a
difference between there and earth, yet you will be able to fly above the
trees and see things in a very different perspective than on earth. People
experience the astral plain in various ways, there is no wrong way, just
except what it is you see and feel. Remember, the mind is powerful, more
powerful than we give it credit for. It is possible to expand your mind and
reach the higher self that all of us possess with a little time, effort and a
bit of faith.
Astral projection is primarily thought. You will discover there will be no
need to speak, unless you wish to. You will receive information from
thought or telepathically. You may meet strange people who will give you
insight. This sometimes happens in life. Perhaps when we hear something
in our minds that we think is just a thought; it could be a communications
from the astral plain.
With a little practice, you will be able to astral project. Some have tried it
and once they feel they are no longer on this earth, they become fearful,

thoughts. Your higher self will not allow you to astral project until you are
comfortable with it. With meditation techniques, learn to relax your body
and mind and practice it frequently. When comfortable with the ability to
relax, attempt to astral project by having an idea as to where you want to
go, have a destination in mind. Most teachers of astral projection will start
you out in little steps by having you walk around (in astral terms) to view
your backside while your physical body is sitting or lying down. Once you
get the hang of it, you may want to fly to a particular state or take a trip
around Jupiter, it is up to you.
