When you are new to astral projecting you will need to come to a deeper understanding of the process and to work through challenges before you can be successful. One of the first things you have to understand is that everyone has the ability to astral project. It is not a special ability or even something new that you have to learn. It is a natural ability, but you have to fine tune it. You need to perfect the skill and work with it to achieve success. It can be compared to riding a bike because even if you have not done it in a while, you still have the skill and can get started again with a little practice.
Relaxation is a common issue when it comes to astral projection. In order to be successful you have to relax your mind and body. You need to practice relaxation and there are techniques that you can use to relax your mind and body. These techniques include relaxation for muscles and special breathing exercises.
Since relaxation is such a common challenge, it is important to understand that the environment can play a large role in helping you to relax. If your environment is relaxing then it will be much easier for you to relax. To help prepare and get the most from your efforts to relax here are some tips.
*Take off any jewelry and change out of any clothing which is restrictive or uncomfortable. Many choose to remove their clothes before astral projecting, but the important thing here is to make yourself comfortable so that you can relax fully.
*A darkened room helps when you are preparing to astral project. Turn off harsh lighting and use minimal lighting so that when you close your eyes it is pitch black.
*Lying in a position where your head is to the north and your feet to the south is a perfect position. You should be able to figure out where north is by watching the sun as it rises in the east and sets in the west. Arrange the room so you can lie in this position.
*You should also make sure that you are completely comfortable. The temperature of the room should keep you comfortable and not too hot or too cold. You may want to adjust your clothing so that you are a good temperature.
*Make sure that there are no distractions. You want to be in a place where there will not be any noise for the whole time that you will be practicing astral projection.
*You can now move to relaxation where you will use the relaxation techniques that you have chosen to completely relax.
*Some like to keep a record of the happenings while they are astral projecting and this would be recommended. You will need to remind yourself to commit to memory everything that happens while you are astral projecting yourself. When you are back, you can record this in a note book specifically for this purpose.
*Focus on proper breathing techniques the whole session.
*Direct your gaze to a point of darkness directly a head of your eyes.
*Take your focus gradually to an object that is about a foot ahead of you. Once you have focused move your focus to about six feet away.
*It is time now to change your point to a ninety degree angle up from your body. Keep this point in your head and continue to relax.
You must continue to keep yourself focused. You can have better success in astral projecting if you keep these tips in mind. You must also have to maintain a hold of yourself as you will be able to do what you want if you maintain this hold so you will not be floating in nothingness.
It is possible through astral projection to talk to loved ones that have passed. You may be able to do things that you cannot do in real life. Physical limitations seem to be removed. Chances are you have already done astral projection, but just do not remember it since you did not control it. Many dreams are actually astral projection. Now you can do it on purpose and you can have control.
