Here we will discuss the most basic of steps a person might successfully follow in their quest to discover how to do Astral Travel.
Astral Travel Step 1. Find a good place
Find a very relaxing and quiet place for your attempt.
The area should be comfortable and quiet, and of course you should ensure nothing will interrupt you.
You should have on very comfortable or no clothes and the area should be darkened
As lying down is the most common position, a bed is recommended.
Astral Travel Step 2. Get relaxed
Achieve very deep relaxation
You want to practice meditation-like deep breathing until you are on the very edge of sleep.
Breathe slowly and deeply, in through your nose and out through your mouth. As you do so, concentrate on breathing from your belly not your chest. As you do this your heart rate will slow.
Next, start at the feet and slowly,…body part by body part, relax. Slowly over the course of say 5-10 minutes relax yourself from “toe to head”.
If you do this correctly, you will find that you are very deeply relaxed and near sleep, but still conscious.
Astral Travel Step 3. Begin Vibration Phase
Once you are in a deep state of relaxation, begin to imagine the most faint of vibrations emanating from your body. As you begin to sense the vibrations focus on them.
Through increased focus on them you will be able to enhance them. They can start to come in waves, so don’t freak out during this part of the experience. If you become concerned you will exit the stage. This is where some people will stall and not make it to the next phase if they are not fully familiar with the process.
Astral Travel Step 4. Begin to Separate the Body and Soul
This is it! At this stage you can begin to “imagine yourself outside your body”
Envision the space you are in and image coming UP and out of it. This takes some real mastery.
Astral Travel Step 5. Separate completely from the body and begin movement.
At this point if all has gone well you will feel yourself existing and operating outside the body. It’s an amazing sensation and something that usually changes a person permanently for the better. It is very common to report calmness and deep insights into ones inner Spiritual Being.
Astral Travel Step 6. Return to the body.
Generally this involves just thinking or “imagining” that you are in fact in your body again.
Returning to the body “too soon” is very common. Don’t worry, there is no special trick you need to know in order to “put yourself back together again”. Many people report the awesome sensation of full separation only to “snap back in” on accident when they really wanted to continue the experience longer!
Some Tips:
It is recommended that you keep a journal near you during the process and when you awaken from the experience, you instantly write down your experiences. This serves two purposes. It will prevent you from forgetting your experiences.
This is a worry for some and knowing that you can rest without trying to remember every detail of the experience is freeing and allows one to more fully relax afterward. It will also be invaluable in the future to look back upon.
As you learn how to Astral Travel, you will log many experiences and one day you’ll be amazed when you look back over your notes of past Astral Travels to see how things “all come together” and make sense!
