A
lot of people seem to find my blog while searching for astral
projection, and while I do have a fair number of articles on the topic,
I’ve decided to create a top 10 list of the most common questions I’m
asked. That way I can just refer people to this article in the future.
Enjoy!
1. Is astral projecting dangerous?
I would have to say yes, it can be. You can encounter beings that will
drain your energy or cause you psychological harm. However, if you know
how to protect yourself, if you can keep your vibration high, if you
are skilled at psychic self defense, and you can keep your fear in
check, then you can have a safe astral experience.
It’s like asking me if it’s safe to fly in an airplane. If you’re
inside the plane, with your seat belt on, with your tray table in the
upright position, and you’re familiar with safety procedures in case of a
crash, then air travel is safe. If you’re going to try to stand up on
the wing of the plane with super glue on your shoes, arms outstretched,
yelling, “I’m the king of the world” then good luck.
2. How can I initiate an out of body experience?
There are many procedures and techniques. My personal technique and
advice is to master lucid dreaming first, because it will teach you how
to keep your mind conscious while your body is asleep. This will then
allow you to wake your mind when you are sleeping, which will likely put
you in a sleep paralysis situation, which will then make it easy peasy
to leave your body. It’s not the only method, but it’s the one I used
to become proficient at astral projection so it’s the one I teach.
You can also try waking yourself up around 4am, staying up and in
your bed for about 20 – 30 minutes, then going back to sleep which will
often trigger a lucid dream, which will trigger sleep paralysis (if you
do it right) which will then allow you to separate from your body.
And overall, it takes practice, intent, and patience.
3. If I dream that I’m flying, is that astral projection?
No, you’re just dreaming that you’re flying. If you wake up in your
bed, then astral project, then go flying, then you are astral
projecting. But if you’re in some random dream and you take to the
skies, you are not astral. You are simply having a flying dream. But
if you can master flying dreams, it’s easier to become proficient at
flying while out of body, so go ahead and practice having those flying
dreams.
4. Once I feel the tingling sensation and/or hear the high pitched whine in my head then what do I do?
Once you feel that, you are separated but still inside your body. It’s
time to stretch yourself up and out. You can either follow your arms
out, or some people like to roll out like you’re rolling onto the floor,
and other people seem to go out feet first. It takes a lot of inner
will to stretch up out of your body. The first few times you may only
get an arm out. It will feel like you’re walking through mud. Just
keep going.
The other thing I used to do with great success is teleport out at
that point. So first you achieve separation, then you simply put
yourself somewhere else, like on the roof of your house, or the nearby
corner of your street. Time and space function completely differently
on the astral plane. You do not have to stretch out of your body. You
can simply separate and teleport. Yep, it’s nifty.
5. What or who are the entities waiting for me when I separate out of my body? Can they hurt me?
More often than not, when you separate, you’re going to feel fear. And
the entities you see and hear while this is happening are not the nicest
welcoming committee on the block. I’ve seen and heard some creatures
that would make you pee your pants. You have to raise your vibration to
get past them. Think of it like changing the channel. Go to the
“love” and “gratitude” station. Call for your angels to come help you.
Or call for your guides. Don’t tolerate astral bullies. Turn your
back on them and tell them where they can stick themselves. If you
don’t, they will begin feeding on your energy like you’re a banana cream
pie.
6. Can I spy on living people while I’m astral?
You naughty person! But yes, you will see living people while you are
astral. Most likely they won’t know you’re there, unless they’re super
intuitive. Respect people’s privacy. It’s also a lot more difficult
than you’d imagine to go spy on someone you don’t know. As soon as
you’re astral, you’re different. Your priorities are different. It
will take a great deal of concentration and will to go visit someone
unless you have a strong close bond with them. But yes, you can make
your rounds. Be good and responsible. Don’t be creepy astral guy!
7. Can I talk to my spirit guides on the astral plane?
People ask me this a lot. Going to the astral plane to talk to your
guides is like sitting down in the middle of the freeway in the lotus
position to meditate. You can technically do it, but it’s not the
safest place to be opening up like that. As soon as you open up you’re
going to get run over by everything in the vicinity. While you’re
astral you need to stay sharp and on the lookout for astral piranha. If
you want to talk to your guides, meditate while you’re awake or invite
them to a lucid dream where you control the environment. Astral
projection is like walking into a rough bar at night. Protect yourself.
8. Can someone take over your body while you’re astral?
No. Your astral cord is like a bookmark, it holds your place. Nothing
and no one can take your body while you’re out. That isn’t to say that
something can’t be standing right next to it and when you want to go
back to your body it tries to tell you that you don’t. Don’t listen to
those blokes. They are not nice. You are allowed to go back to your
body anytime you want. Simply will yourself back, or step back into
your body when you’re ready to come back.
9. Can I die on the astral plane?
Well this is an interesting question. If anyone HAS died while astral
projecting they’ve never been able to report it. So I think technically
I’d have to say “I don’t know.” I have never died on the astral plane,
and I’ve been attacked by some humdingers. This is why I’m saying only
project if you really feel you have to, and stay safe while projecting.
10. What can you do on the astral plane?
When you’re out of your body there is more than one plane you can visit.
If you stay on the prime material plane, you’ll just fly around your
house, look in on your loved ones, freak out the cat, and maybe fly down
the street.
You can also move yourself to a higher plane, where spirits and
angels dwell. Go have a lovely chat with them. Get the tour, it’s
great.
You can move through time, but only as an observer. If you think
you’re going to go back in time and kill Hitler, don’t bother. It won’t
work.
You can visit other planes that aren’t as compatible with your
frequency or energy. When you do this, you will lose your sight, your
hearing will likely be enhanced, and you’ll be really putting yourself
at risk of getting attacked and drained. Only go to other planes with a
strong guide.
You can visit with other astral friends if they can go astral at the
same time. Pick a spot to meet on the prime material plane and arrange a
time to meet. Then wait. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t.
And you can engage in astral sex, which I’m sure doesn’t interest you in the slightest. Oh? It does? Read my
article on astral ecstasy then (if you’re over 18).
Be safe out there! I don’t want to hear that any of you have crossed over while out of body. Now go get ‘em tigers!
