Astral Projection: Two Techniques
(Brought To You By,...)
PLEASE READ THROUGH, COMPLETELY Before Beginning!!!
As we all know, "There's more than one way to skin a cat". Well, it's time to get skinned.
We're going to be looking at to different methods. What works for some doesn't mean it works for all, and there are pros & cons to each method. These will be basic methods, and will require practice. Don't be disheartened by any setbacks! We are all a work in progress, and the rewards are great, so stick with it. Even if you find difficulty in doing this consciously, this can still trigger spontaneous projections, while you're sleeping. Getting There is what's important. Whether conscious or asleep, on your first trip, getting there makes subsequent trips easier by far.
Here we go.
First, Achieve an Alpha State; a meditative state, as deep as possible, as you proceed through the steps.
METHOD #1: "Rising Above"
Lay on your back, nude or in loose fitting clothing. Your bed is fine, but you may find yourself passing-out in the process.
Relax into your the surface you're laying on. Let it take your weight.
Become aware of your aura. With every breath, feel your first layer strengthen, and become more concrete. Feel it take on the picture-perfect semblance or your physical form. Stay calm & relaxed. With every inhalation, feel it strengthen. Will every exhalation, feel it take shape.
Become aware of your temporal lobes. Just like in the exercises before, as with psychometry (Object Reading), feel your perceptions through your aura, but this time, all over.
Let go of your worries of the day. Relax. Breath. Be. Just in this moment. No
tomorrow. No Yesterday. Only now.
With each breath, your body relaxing,
further and further, becoming heavier & heavier. Relax, and let go of it. The
sensation of becoming lighter filling you. Like a balloon, being held inside,
and you body is the ballast, holding it down.
Let slip the ballast.
Feel yourself rise, the ground
slipping away beneath you, You remain the center. Your mind is who you are, and
your body is only one vehicle. Know that you are anchored, but you can travel as
far as you wish, as you are ever connected by a slender tether: "The Silver
Chord". Know that you can return at any time you wish, merely by willing it so.
This is the most common technique. Most people perceive themselves as "Astral-Centric", where the consciousness actually leaves the body. These people believe that their very life essence is contained within the astral body, and that the chord is a mandatory accessory. The cord is actually a manifestation of fear of loosing contact, when the connection, really, is the source of the energy: You!
There is a jeopardy in this form, though. Any threat to the Silver Chord, is perceived as a threat to life. They think that severing the chord leads to death. This conviction can be so strong as to convince the practitioner that they have lost their body, and their very certainty can convince themselves to physically die. They never realize that the image of "Soul Migration" to the astral body is that Both bodies have the same source. The astral body is an extension of the physical, in the same way the remote-control car is of it's controller. They are of & on the same frequency. Your soul doesn't leave, so much as your 'sensory center' shifts. Your point of focus, your field of perception, becomes centered on your auric field. Even if the Silver Chord is 'cut', this assertion of separation leads the "traveler" to feel certain that their body is now "Soulless".
Know, now, that that isn't true. Your astral body is really nothing more than a sensory-immersion Though-Form. It's a portion of your aura that has been 'extruded' into a form resembling your complete spiritual essence, but is , in fact, just a temporary "Probe", to be assimilated upon completion of your trip.
Never forget that just willing it returns you to your body!
If this seems too risky, try MY favorite:
Rest seated in a chair, High-backed, with armrests. If it's a recliner, "Feel Free".
Feel your Heart Chakra open. Allow it to open. Feel as though you have an opening in your chest, and your warm, pressurized aura is flowing out from this opening.
Shape this extrusion into a form exactly like you, exactly opposite you, facing you (This can be done lying down, but this always feels more "Wizard-Like" & dignified to me ~L~).
Using The Sight, look at the shape forming. Know that you can shape this extruded astral essence by your very whim. When the form is complete, close your eyes.**
Temporal lobes activated, be aware of your aura, in both locations, the Silver Chord is still there, to synchronize the two, easily. Feel yourself being both bodies, and the chord, all at once.
Be certain that you can occupy both or either, at a whim. Test this, by closing the eyes of one, and opening the eyes of the other. Like two soup cans, tied with a string, your voice moves easily & readily between the two. Be aware of both auras, all at once, and individually.
Decide to stay, for a time, in the one outside your body, but know this is just an extension of your senses, like total virtual emersion, you can stop being in it at any time, and call it back to you.
NOTE: There is another technique, similar to the second, where the Traveler "Feels" their mind travel through the Silver Chord, towards the astral-extension. This I feel, has the same risks as the first technique. It's best avoided.
Now, the difficulty between the two is this. Some people, most people in fact, tend to need to perceive the traveling as "Soul-Centric". They need to feel that they have left their body. That the experience is more than simply sensory extension. If my second form is to "Detached" for you, by all means, go back to the first. I cannot stress strongly enough, though, that you remember that the Silver Chord is a psychological device, not a mandatory means of getting home again. Like any Thought-Form, you can return to your body, simply by deciding to!
At first, we should stay within the confines of our abode! You may feel that you're ready to go out and do all the things you read "Professor X", in the X-Men comics do, but we should hold back. "Doctor Strange" laid a lot more groundwork before he was the Sorcerer Supreme!
