Psychic phenomena are intimately connected to the imagination, which is influenced by belief. In our current world culture, astral projection is not really believed in to a large degree. \n\nThe first thing to do is to develop a body of knowledge within yourself that will genuinely allow you to believe it is possible. An amazing resource is the Robert Monroe trilogy. You say truth should be free, and indeed it ultimately is... but this is the best money can buy. Also, you will have to identify and eliminate all beliefs that disallow astral projection.  I would also recommend developing your concentration with meditation.  Personally, I think mindfulness as described within buddhism, especially zen, is a great start for meditation and concentration development.  Concentration is important because astral travel employs, along with a deep let-go, a sort of loose concentration that must be developed one way or the other.  Some people are predisposed to these "prerequisites" and so 'slip' into astral travel very easily.  Some people keep it in mind for years before achievement.\n\nWith your new body of knowledge, you learn to use the will and imagination to project consciousness (pending the "prerequisites".)\n\nThe actual techniques vary. I find the healthiest way to go about this is to start with knowledge, and follow whichever path you feel inclined to the most. This may mean spending some time away from the desire to project, in that you may feel inclined to learn more about prayer, meditation, consciousness, chakras, reiki, or any such thing. Just allow the process by encouraging it to follow its own course.\n\nBy the way, there are a variety of techniques available that do not require death, or near-death, or pain.

It's a parapsychological phenomenon. It means that someone can use the power of their own mind to see things, objects, places, etc. that are remote in distance and time. That is, they can see inside closed rooms, even in another country. It's almost as if they are in spirit form, and walk in spirit form, and can see through different eyes.

I haven't been disciplined enough to astral project, but I know people who have.  Some have been able to do it fine on their own, but for some people a guide helping the first time is useful.  \n\nMost people work at doing it, but I've known at least one person who did it spontaneously.  I think this is a rare gift, probably something learned from past lives, that should be greatly cherished if you're able to do it.

i have found such to be true...  but that the soul doesn't have to just jump right back in to another body.  it can live in the astral realms for a time first, if it so wishes.\n\nmost religions will explain this with philosophical statements and questions rather than cold, scientific facts.  truly, this is a quest you must follow for yourself.  if you need help, i suggest checking out some of the teachings of buddhism.  you don't have to believe in them if you don't want to, but comparing texts often gives you a fine base from which you can draw your own personal conclusions.\n\ni frequent the y-messenger chat rooms under the name Suhrim, and only that name.  i wrote a paper on my personal theories regarding this (too long to cut and paste into here).  if you want, you can find me in the paganism rooms.. usually the higher numbers.. about once a week.  if you wish, i can then cut and paste that paper into the pm window.  :)

Absolutely!  There are too many unknowns out there to dismiss life's mysteries (like ghosts or aliens).  I think we all have felt very strange and unique impulses that we couldn't truly define, which when acted upon helped us either avoid bad situations (like choosing a different route to work that helped us avoid an accident) or feeling like something good was about to happen and then running into an old friend.  \n\nIf this type of stuff interests you, you should read the book The Celestine Prophecy.  It's a fiction book that helps bring home how few coincidences there are in life.  In other words, most things are supposed to happen for a reason.  It's a fun read that won't take more than the weekend.  \n\nLastly, I don't know what "astral projection" is, but I'm going to Google it and check it out.

i regularly go astralling.  in fact, a lot of people do, whether or not they realize it in the waking world.  you see, people generally have two selves.. their physical self that houses their Waking Mind, and their Astral self.  your astral self often gets around in the astral realms, regardless of whether or not your waking mind realizes it.\n\nthere are many in the y-messenger chat rooms, religion and beliefs/paganism, that also have experience with astral projection.  i think you'll find some real-time q&a to be quite helpful.  however, it seems to be a phenomenon of the paganism rooms that the higher the number, the less people there are, and the more focused the topics.  you'll have to be patient, however.  for every month i spend on there, i maybe get a day's worth of applicable and serious conversation.  when it happens, however, it's GOOOOOOOOOOOD!\n\nas for personal experiences, i can give you a bit, but they are, indeed, quite personal...\n\ni lay down as if i'm going to sleep, and at that state between dreams and wakefullness, you'll find yourself in the perfect meditative state for astralling.  first, i Visualize (that's imagination with force and intent--sounds trite, but try it and you'll see what i mean) a "dream vista" of my choosing.  this can be whatever i wish.  as the vista becomes tangible to me, that is as i manifest unto it.  the FIRST thing i do is raise a shield around me as i sit and collect my thoughts.  to do that, again, Visualization.  in fact, i wouldn't go ANYWHERE in the astrals until you're MORE THAN COMFORTABLE with forming a vista and a shield.  as for the nature of yours, that is up to you.  :)  it is also up to you the form in which you manifest, but i suggest human, as it's what you know in this life.  don't get ahead of yourself!  :)\n\nwhen i feel i'm ready (don't rush it!) i stand up, stretch my legs, and decide where i want to go.  sometimes, it's certain spirit-energy-hubs.  these often manifest themselves in the mortal mind as tangible cities.  there's so many that i cannot list them all here.  after making sure no entity has any pressing business with me, i set off.  sometimes, instead of going to a public place, i'll try and find a few astral friends i've met over the years, and we find a nice secluded spot and chill.  once in a while, and i'm sure this happens to a lot of astrallers, i get attacked.  i'm sure some people find such scary, but you can get attacked in the physical realm, as well...  so you're really no safer here nor there.  i suggest dealing with astral attackers in a "non-lethal" manner (there's a reason that's in quotes), as sometimes entities have a big brother that they run back to for help...  get the picture?  hee hee!\n\nsometimes my spirits and i go and find old astral entities that we know of and ask their advice on certain topics.  sometimes we don our helmets and have a friendly sparring match, just for fun.  i want to make note that i'm not denoting ownership when i say "my spirits".  you can translate that as "my friends".. showing how we relate, not some vile master-slave relationship.\n\nsometimes the astralling continues long after my body has actually fallen asleep, yet the mind continues to be conscious of what goes on.  this is not always the case, however.  once in a while the astralling session just fades out and i rejoin my sleeping body.  sometimes, i continue the whole night through, and then the alarm clock goes off and interrupts me.  Sure, i have to go to work, but there's few things more irritating than having a particularly good astralling session interrupted by something so mundane.  \n\nthe next night, when i "jack back in", so to speak, i often find that my astral self is still continuting whatever it was that we left off with..  or even finished that up and then began a new task.\n\ni

It depends some dreams just seem to be thoughts in ones subconscious, but then other dreams are able to give you a glimpse of the future. There is of course ways to enter a different dimension or a "timeless" state called "astral travelling", but this is not like any dream, it is a process of separating the "astral body" (or soul) from the physical body. In most cases this happens to people that have near death experiences and people that are in comas. It does sometimes happen to people while sleeping (some times you don't remember it happening).\n\n "Astral projection" is the process of meditation that causes you to experience this phenomena at own will. Here is a link with some information on this:\n\nhttp://www.astralweb.com/phps/topics_whatis.php

An out-of-body experience is when you project your mind into your soul/astral body and you leave your physical body behind and you can travel to the end of the earth. You can control the astral traveling by meditating more or by practicing alot more. There is a cord like string that connects you to the physical body, this keeps you alive while you are out. But dont worry the cord doesnt break until it is your time to leave the earth. When you are out of the body everything that you think of comes to life; so lets say you are thinking of some creature or something like that, it will project out of the mind and seem like it is really there. If you are astral traveling naked(thouht that it is easier to leave the body if you are nude)you can think of haveing close on and youll have them one. You can do many things like travel back and forward in time, go into the universe, space, talk with the dead, and even go to other realms. Have Fun!!

http://www.oberf.org/\n\nExample of how to get out of your body:\n\n"THREE STEP SIMPLE, EASY, and EFFECTIVE OBE TECHNIQUE\n\nBy Cezyl 1/27/05 12:00 PM EST (GMT -5)\n\nThis technique is an easy one that works for the higher dimensionals easy, and also for here-now OBE effortlessly easy if you keep at it. I find now that it also develops nonphysical here-now and astral sight capabilities. The technique improves the clarity and joy of the nonphysical trips, by \ngradually deepening the state. I bet it does much more too. The details are explained in the tech.\n\nStep ONE: 4-2 Meditation-Relaxation Technique\n\nThis is a technique that can help your ability to astral project. I have used it successfully numerous times. Also, if you do it long enough and with enough focus and relaxation, it can get you at the threshold of astral projecting, and also it get you astrally projected. *Practice* and let the technique teach you. Sit or lay down comfortably. Relax.\n\nMain Tech\n\n1) You inhale to the count of 4...\n\n2) You hold your lungs full to the count of 2...\n\n3) You exhale to the count of 4...\n\n4) You hold your lungs empty to the count of 2...\n\nRepeat it as long as necessary to get into a deep state, or as long as desired. Your inner self may signal you when you have done enough for your purposes, so listen inward.\n\nThe technique relaxes the body, entrances the self, and may have an energizing effect with the breathing.\n\nThe Dwindle\n\nAs I do the technique I experience a natural 'dwindle', where the 4-2 rhythm of the technique gradually looses its rhythm, and I'm just breathing with no rhythm, but slowly and peacefully, or 'I'm not breathing at all', meaning my breathing has become so calm and silent it's barely perceptible. Also I may experience a sort of 'interference' with my breathing. I believe this is the body going into trance, going into automatic breathing. Don't interfere. Let the dwindle happen. Learn from the technique, and effortlessly move on to step two...\n\nStep TWO: Simple and Effective Relaxation Sequence\n\nYou can do this before or after doing the 4-2 meditation for best projective results.\n\nMain Tech\n1) Take an inhale and imagine all the tension in your body\n\n2) Take an exhale, and imagine and feel all of the tension releasing\n\n3) Continue this sequence going until at each exhale, you are relaxing more and more, all the tension and stress melting off of you\n\nThe Modulation Undulation Pulse (MUP)\n\nIf you practice this closely, you’ll learn how you can modulate your muscles as you relax. It's a very subtle thing. You will learn how you can pulse your muscles, like an undulation to quicken and easy relaxation. It's like SLOWLY settling the body into a more comfortable position, but more subtle.  I have much difficulty putting this into words. Words make it seem more than it is. Just practice, and let the technique teach you.\n\nThe Release Slide (TRS)\n\nSomething else I've learned that I'm working on now is the release slide. Just let the tension slide away. This again is a very subtle thing that words do no justice too. Just practice and 'listen'.\n\nStep THREE: Astral Shifting Technique\n\nMain Tech\n\nA great and simple technique for projecting onto astral and higher dimensions is to visualize a place, whether you are creating it in the moment, it's a place you've dreamt about, or an area you've heard or read about as existing on the astral or higher, like 'The Park'. Sticking with the same area for a while may help you. You may want to practice this technique after doing one or both the 4-2 meditation technique and relaxation technique. It is effective at any time and any place, even without preparation. Visualize the area of choice and in your imagination interact and move around, holding this as you go to sleep or in your meditation. You'll gradually shift there and succeed.\n\nThe Progress
