Astral projection - beginner's guide to travel techniques

It is possible to learn astral projection techniques for the purposes of astral travel. Many people do this in their sleep but do not remember it unless they have trained themselves in astral projection. Once a beginner has learned how to do it, they can guide themselves through it when they are awake.

The part of us that represents our consciousness, the astral body, leaves the other bodies while remaining attached by a silver cord, which some people understand as being an 'umbilical cord'. Not everyone can see this silver cord. If this cord is broken, then we die. It is believed that this is what happens near death, ie this invisible cord weakens and separates. Different belief systems define the bodies in different ways but one explanation of these are:

1. The physical body which the densest and is tangible and visible without clairvoyant abilities;
2. The emotional body which is the body we use to express and feel emotions;
3. The astral body which is the first body you reach through meditation;
4. The mental body which is where thought, reasoning and ideas happen;
5. The intuitional body which is our capability to feel compassion and allows us to understand things instinctively without having to reason them through;
6. The will or spirit which is our will and determination to carry things through;
7. The divine body which is the highest body and is our connection to the higher power and allows us to feel at one with everything;

The bodies are layered and one can move through them all using meditation. When one reaches the seventh body, that is described as nirvana or enlightenment in the Buddhist system. Some believe that the first five bodies consitute the soul, or the individual. When we go higher than this, we cease to exist as an individual, but become part of a higher consciousness.

The astral body can visit the astral plane, where magickians go to see what is coming down to the physical plane as things manifest themselves on the astral plane first. Astral bodies can also interact with other astral bodies.

Some people have out of body experiences, or OBEs, naturally. This is when people experience the sensation of floating outside their body and see themselves. They feel no sensation but are aware of everything around them. There are reports of this happening to people on motorbikes for instance, but they have returned to their body without having an accident. Sometimes people after an OBE have given information that they couldn't possibly know other than the explanation they give of having had one of these OBEs. OBEs can also be experienced near death, and are known as NDEs (near death experiences). People report similar experiences when they have almost died. Drugs can induce OBEs, or intense pain, or lack of sleep.
