In the astral plane - a non-physical dimension existing in a parallel fashion to ours - the possibilities of experience are incredibly rich and vast. To get an idea of what it is like, you can compare it with those particularly vivid and lucid dreams we have once in a while or at least once or twice in our lifetimes.
In the astral plane - a non-physical dimension existing in a parallel fashion to ours - the possibilities of experience are incredibly rich and vast. To get an idea of what it is like, you can compare it with those particularly vivid and lucid dreams we have once in a while or at least once or twice in our lifetimes. During an out of body experience, many people experience themselves to be a point of consciousness floating in the environment without being subject to gravity or other physical laws. It is a dimension where everything seems amazingly real, changing and fluid. Time can also be distorted and stretched out. Naturally, there are many factors that influence these experiences which won't be perceived and lived out in the same way by everyone. In most cases, however, it is a startlingly vibrant and altering happening. Begin your out of body exploration by selecting a time and place where no one will disturb you. Contrarily to what many think, trying to perform astral projection at night is not the most auspicious time - early morning is. This is because the chemical balance in the brain at this time is conducive to the oobe state. When you are ready to start, you must allow your mind and body to relax deeply without diminishing your psychological alertness and without going to sleep. You will come to what is called the 'theta' brainwave mode which means the brain's frequency is slow and calm. It is similar to a meditative state. How long it takes to get to this point will vary from person to person and may require extensive practice. It may help to focus your mind on an object such as a burning candle during the relaxation process. It does not matter what the object is as long as you are comfortable with it and it channels your mental energy. Take care to breathe slowly and deeply (without straining). When you feel like it, start to visualize and try to get a sense of what astral projection would be like. You will know you are nearing the theta state as your body will feel more heavy and may even appear to be paralyzed. This is a normal occurrence called 'sleep paralysis' which happens when your brain actually thinks your body has fallen asleep. From here, you can perform any exit technique and visualization you wish to have the separation between the physical and ethereal bodies occur. One such technique has you imagining there is an invisible rope hanging from your ceiling. Without moving your physical body at all, you need to mentally coax your energetic body to grab the rope and climb it hand by hand. The feeling is what is important here. The transition out of the body may happen quickly or not. What is important is to execute the exit method at the right time when you are deep into the theta state - otherwise you may only end up moving the physical body and have to begin over as your trance state will be broken.
