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.

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.
