HOW TO ASTRAL TRAVEL
Astral projection is a form of out of body experience that sometimes occurs during lucid dreaming during deep meditation or at times of crisis. The soul moves into an astral body (or "etheric double"), which moves free of the physical body in a parallel world known as the astral plane. Astral Travel is spoken about in may mystical texts and has more recently been studied by scientists investigating reports of people who have has a near death experience.

ASTRAL TRAVEL CLAIMS

During an astral voyage, communication with other astral projectors is claimed to be possible. Of interest is the work of Robert Monroe who founded the Monroe Institute and published several accounts of his experiences of astral projection including "Far Journeys". Robert Monroe developed a method he calls Hemisync to induce mental states that are favourable for projection

ASTRAL TRAVEL ATTACKS

Sometimes the astral traveller reports being attached to his/her physical body by a silver umbilical cord. Pets have been said to react in a frightened manner, and some claim seeing an astrally projecting person's spirit as a coloured beam or shot or light darting around the room.

ASTRAL TRAVEL & ASTRAL PROJECTION DREAMS

From Craig Hamilton-Parker's Book Psychic Dreaming: Out-of-body dreams, in which you "float" up and look down upon yourself or upon another location, are a form of psychic dream. Some psychics claim they visit other actual locations, often ones that they've never seen. Travelling out of the body is sometimes called Astral Projection.

Frederik van Eeden presented one of the first studies of out of body dreams to the Society of Psychical Research in 1913. Van Eeden had already presented evidence for lucid dreams in which the dreamer becomes conscious while the dream is taking place. He told the society that his own lucid dreams were often preceded for several nights by dreams of flying. Sometimes these lucid dreams included apparent clairvoyantly received information that could be verified later. In other instances he believed he left his body.

In one instance while 'flying' he dreamed that he would be robbed of a large sum of money, a predicted event that was to take place soon afterwards. Of great interest to Van Eeden was when he noted that sometimes he would dream of lying on his stomach when in reality he was lying in bed and on his back. If he allowed himself to wake slowly he would experience the sensation of slipping from his 'dream body' that was lying face down into his actual sleeping body.

Depending upon the person, the appearance of the 'dream body' ranges from a gossamer-like form to an exact replica of the physical body. Having the ability to project consciousness can open up many interesting opportunities to the dreamer. Some claim to be able to travel to remote locations. They claim to be able to walk the beaches of Hawaii, explore the ancient pyramids of Egypt or even have a free ticket to the moon.

Craig's Astral Projection Experience

I have had many of these experiences myself but have found in most instances that it is hard to maintain consciousness for long periods of time. My own experience is one of projecting my awareness rather than a dream body. Nonetheless on occasions I have looked down at my sleeping body from the ceiling and have sometimes awoken with clear memories of having visited a remote location. Many people report having these experiences during puberty.

At first the experience of being without a body is frightening if you have never heard about astral projection. It is natural to assume that you are dead and panic sets in. The result is usually a quick return to the body. A quick return is sometimes accompanied by sensations of a jolt to the physical body accompanied by a loud band and a flash of brilliant light. Once the initial fears are overcome astral travel become natural and is not accompanied by any negative sensations.

HOW PEOPOLE HAVE ASTRAL TRAVELLED
TRUE ASTRAL PROJECTION STORIES

NDE from the ceiling The studies of astral projection made by researchers such as doctor's Sabom, Kubber-Ross and Moody of testimonials from hospital patients who have been snatched from the brink of death demonstrate that most people report similar experiences- they step outside of their body into their astral form.

I saw myself from above A few years ago I had an extremely painful operation without anaesthetic. I left the hospital twenty minutes after the surgery in a state of shock, anger and mixed emotions. My centre of vision suddenly changed. When the astral projection happened I was stood about three stories high above myself looking down at the scene below.

Phantoms of the Living When I was 15 years old my family and I emigrated to Ontario, Canada where my father worked in the Steel plant. Dad was very ill and sick in bed when I went with my friends to the youth club. On the way home I said "Here comes Dad to meet us" There was no mistaking him, a miner, short, bandy legged with his flat cap on his head. I rushed towards him, wondering how he had recovered so quickly, but as I approached he was gone.

Scared by husband's spirit When I was staying in South Africa I woke up in the night and saw my husband's spirit leaving his body (Astral Projection). At first I thought That I was dreaming but after closing my eyes and opening them again I knew that it was real.

I travelled out of my body Just before our street party for the V.E. Day celebrations I fell over and broke my wrist very badly. I was in great pain and worried sick because I had organised the party and didn't want to let everyone down. My sister and her husband took me to hospital.

That floaty feeling Last week a strange thing happened to me. I was laying on my bed, wide awake, when my whole body lifted into the air and started to float around the room. I felt myself turn over in the air and I tried to reach out for the light switch.

I can fly I keep having the same dream about astral projection. In it I am walking then break into a jog. My feet seem to lift high of the ground until I find myself gliding through the air. When I first had the dream I could travel about 30 ft or so.

Vivid Dream As soon as I lay my head on my pillow I dream of places that are so real that it's like I'm really there. This is not the confusion of an ordinary dream; the people I meet are as real as you or me.

Floating on the ceiling One night I went to bed and couldn't get to sleep. I had the feeling that my Gran was beside me. I started to get frightened and said inside my head 'Go away'.

Nearly dead on arrival As a nonbeliever a very peculiar thing happened to me which unlike a dream is still very vivid in my mind. One Saturday afternoon there was a fire in my scullery and I was rushed off in an ambulance suffering badly from smoke inhalation.

Blown by astral wind I woke up at 2 am in the morning but couldn't get back to sleep so I decided to go and make myself a cup of tea. When I tried to get up someone or something was holding me down on the bed.

Phone call saved my life When father died, mother and I were devastated. I tried to contact dad through the Spiritualists- but was unsuccessful. Soon, my mother was also taken ill.

Astral Holiday I had an out of body experience: I felt myself leave my body and float upwards and into a long dark tunnel. There was a bright light at the end with four people knelt in prayer.

I sleep on the ceiling Please, please can you explain why, throughout my life, I have the frightening feeling that I'm flying whilst asleep. In my dreams, I float high into the sky and, like an astronaut, I see the whole Earth laid out below me.
