For those that are new to astral projecting, there can be a number of stumbling blocks that you need to overcome to successfully astral project. First you need to understand that you have the ability, everyone does. So this isn’t about trying to learn something new, or force something that isn’t nature. Look at it as something that you have to fine tune, like roller skating, cartwheels, riding a bike. You never forget how to do these activities, when you haven’t done them in a long time you do have to practice. The same holds true for astral projecting.
A common challenge that people face when beginning astral projection is relaxation. In order to be successful at astral projection you have to be deeply relaxed in both mind and body. You are going to need to practice this. There are many techniques that you can use to help your mind and body relax. Both breathing and muscle relaxation techniques can be used.
When astral projecting, you need an environment which allows you to be comfortable and fully relaxed. The tips in this article will help you to relax and begin astral projecting.
*Wear loose clothes or light clothing. Consider removing jewelry since the contact with skin can be distracting.
*You should make the room you will be in dark. It does not have to be completely dark but when you close your eyes it should be dark without light being seen through your eyelids.
*Make sure that your body is oriented north to south; your head should be pointed north. If you need help with this, use the sun to get your berarings.
*You should also make sure that you are completely comfortable. The temperature of the room should keep you comfortable and not too hot or too cold. You may want to adjust your clothing so that you are a good temperature.
*The room that you will be in should be quiet and free from distractions. Make sure that during the time you are practicing astral projection that you will not have a lot of noise or other distractions.
*You can now move to relaxation where you will use the relaxation techniques that you have chosen to completely relax.
*Some like to keep a record of the happenings while they are astral projecting and this would be recommended. You will need to remind yourself to commit to memory everything that happens while you are astral projecting yourself. When you are back, you can record this in a note book specifically for this purpose.
*Slow your body down by taking deep breaths.
*Also focus on the darkness before you as you go through the session.
*Take your focus gradually to an object that is about a foot ahead of you. Once you have focused move your focus to about six feet away.
* Now create a line that goes up at a 90 degree angle form the point six feet away. Draw an imaginary line that runs parallel with your body.
Using these tips will help you get ready for the astral projection process. You should be aware that you need to be mentally in control of what is happening. You cannot go out of your body through astral projection without proper control. You will simply bounce around the astral planes without any control. You want control so you can go where you want and do what you want to do.
Some people who practice astral projection speak with dead loved ones or take part in activities that they cannot usually do. Physical limitations and other limitations simply do not exist on the astral plane. If you have ever had a dream where you have woke up and felt it was real then you probably were astral projecting. Now you have the chance to do it with intention and be in control over the process.
