What is Astral Projection?

Astral projection (or etheric projection) is the ability to separate one's consciousness from the confines of the physical body, enabling one to travel vast distances through time and space and then return safely.

Once separated, the possibilities in this spirit-like form are endless, as there are no restrictions in the means of locomotion as are present in the physical body. You may choose to walk, glide, fly or even think yourself to a location simply by imagining the place you want to be.

Perhaps you wish to visit someone on the other side of the planet – you only have to think of that person and you'll be there, in an instant. Being a non-solid form, the astral body (body of consciousness) is able to pass through walls and other solid matter with ease and could even make physical contact with another projector.

Although there are some people out there practising astral projection, it is not commonly known in the western world and most people in the street would scoff at the idea.

Well, little do they know, but everytime we sleep at night our astral-selves rise slightly out of line from the physical body the very moment we lose consciousness, and stays in this position until we awake. The purpose of this is to regain the energy lost during our waking hours and is thought to be a form of recharging.

You may have experienced the sensation of falling, followed by a jolt, just at the point of falling asleep. This is caused by the sudden return of the astral body as it attempted to leave the physical before unconsciousness took place. In other words, the beginning of a projection occurred.

About Me

I discovered Astral Projection quite by accident at the age of 15. At that time I was interested in Lucid Dreaming, as I was able to have many Lucid Dreams on a weekly basis. During one of my many visits to the local library I happened upon a book which gave instructions for experimenting with Lucid Dreams.

Until that moment I had never had the slightest idea that my 'special dreams of awareness' was actually a known phenomena. After having read several more books on the subject, I came across a paragraph that discussed Astral Projection. I thought the ability of becoming 'aware' of the fact that one is dreaming and then altering the plot of the dream was amazing enough. But to be able to separate the awareness from the body entirely during the waking state, and then fly around in the physical world as if in a dream body is just fantastic.

Since then I have read many books on the subject of Astral Projection as well as Lucid Dreaming and have achieved many experiences through lengthy experimentation.
