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.
Since relaxation is such a common challenge, it is important to understand that the environment can play a large role in helping you to relax. If your environment is relaxing then it will be much easier for you to relax. To help prepare and get the most from your efforts to relax here are some tips.
*Be aware of what you are wearing. Try to wear items that are not constricting and that will not distract you. Remove jewelry since it 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.
*When astral projecting, wear clothing which is loose fitting and comfortable, yet warm enough.
*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 should be ready for relaxation now. You will be using the relaxation techniques to help you do this.
*Give yourself a mental suggestion so that you can remember what happens during your session. Simply telling yourself that you will remember can help. Have a pen and paper nearby so when you are finished you can record what you remember. Making records will be helpful to allow you to remember what happened.
*Focus on proper breathing techniques the whole session.
*Be sure as you breath that you focus on the darkness.
*Move your focus to about a foot away and then to six feet away. Focus on this point and ensure that you focus first a foot away and then six feet away.
*Now create a line that runs from that point at six feet away parallel to your body. Go up from the point at a 90 degree angle and then create this parallel line.
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 of those who astral project do this so they may speak to their family that has passed away and are no longer with them. Many do this in order to take care of matter that would not be able to happen in the real world. Many who do even know they have done. It is thought that we all have astral projected at one time or another. Some of the more vivid dreams may actually have been an out of body experience. If you can train yourself to do this while conscious, you will have better odds of remembering the session and what happened while you were doing it.
