The physical dimension is not rock solid. The non – physical dimension even less so.
Ignoring the physical dimension for a while, I’d like to discuss…astral projection.
Ah yes, the final frontier. The impossible possibilities, where you see choir – singing German Shepherd dogs, pink cows dancing tango, and Victorian chimpanzees. Would you like to join me for this journey?
Why should we astral project?
Well, why not? You can do ANYTHING. Flying is only the beginning. What about trying to merge your consciousness with a pet? Oh, don’t look at me like that. It’s not harmful and you’ll still be there and be… you. Your pet will still be them. It’s just a thing to do. One of many things.
Think about this: We come into the world with nothing and we’ll leave with nothing. Don’t think you’ll take your 42″ LED TV with you. Many hours of the day is spent thinking about how to accumulate material things, experiences, relationships and so on. Why not get a taste of the life we really live? This is true freedom. No, astral projection may not pay your bills but you can be damn sure it might just lead you to find a way to do that. There, got your attention now? Just kidding… Or am I??
You should astral project because it’s a natural state. Because it’s not just your body, but you. And you can do lots of fun things.
Astral Projection and Dreaming
Astral projection is not dreaming, but it is comparable. In dreams, you are still in the astral plane but in your own space. Your are on another level within the level. Let me explain it in a better way: You are within a sphere. This sphere is your subconscious mind that’s generating dream content. No one can enter this sphere without your permission, but they may be able to influence this. Your dream takes place on the astral plane but within an enclosed area. Just imagine a dome, and you’ll know what I mean.
Astral projection is where the conscious mind is running the show. The subconscious will try to butt in, but you’re mostly so conscious here that you can easily dismiss whatever it sends your way. It’s a wonderful, wonderful experience.
Communication works differently in the astral plane. I don’t quite know how to explain it. It’s like you communicate with your intents, rather than with your words. It’s like you ‘know’ what the other part is saying. Leaves words for dead, so to say. You have to experience it yourself.
How do you astral project?
That’s the question.
And I don’t know the answer.
I can tell you the method I use when I don’t have time to relax properly and I just want to go for a quick visit to the Summerlands. It’s the Rope Method, and if you’ve ever been into these kind of things, then you’ve heard of it.
Here’s a quick step by step guide:
1. Lie or sit down. Groundbreaking, I know.
2. Take three deep breaths. Quiet your mind.
3. Imagine a rope. Now, don’t try to see the rope. Rather, feel yourself climbing up. Develop a single – minded focus.
4. This is where things may get a little scary. You might hear sounds and see things that are odd or scary. The first times I astral projected, I heard a loud rock band coming and going suddenly during the projection state. You will feel fear. This fear is false evidence appearing real. It is irrational. Do not heed it.
5. If you can stay calm during step 4, you’ll most likely project. Congratulations!
Practice makes perfect.
So, that was a short guide. Not a perfect guide, but I’ve always prided myself on being informative. Thus, I hope this was informative for you! Good luck!
Oh and please like my Facebook Page! It’d mean very much to me and gives me the warm fuzzies!
Hi there!
I'm Sol, the author of this blog.
Not a bad article, are you going to write any articles about your own experiences?
I’ve been delving into astral project and I recently had a freaky experience. One of my coworkers was saying that she has to get a biopsy for her lung since her doctor found some scarring in her lungs.
So I did an astral projection and requested to see her physical ailments and I saw her left lung lower section inflamed in a red color as well as yellowish green color leaking into her torso area. Note that all along she thinks that her lungs are fine and her doctors have not even done an xray.
The next day I heard from her and the doctors did an xray and found that her lower right lung collapsed and the doctors even said this can indicate a kidney disease. I wasn’t quite right on which lung but you got to admit I got the lower section of the lung right and might be right about something going on in the torso area. They are still doing tests as we speak but you got to admit that’s a pretty freaking astral projection experience!
Haha, Joey. You’ve been with me since the beginning. I’m happy it’s not ending because of a half – inspired article.
Wow, that was a… fascinating overtone to a rather grim story.
You know, time doesn’t work in the astral plane. It just doesn’t. I mean, things can happen in the present, past and even future. So you might have gotten something from the future! Who knows?
A warning if you do 3 more half-assed articles I’m calling it off ha ha ha!
I’ve had some experiences with lucid Dreaming and travelling in the astral world or dimensions, it is so liberating – what I need is a system for doing it more consciously, I’ll try this one out Thank Sol

Sweet, I love astral projection. I’ve never heard of the rope method, but I can see how it works. You basically trick your spirit-form, or whatever, into moving up and out of your body? Do you need to be asleep to do this method?
Oh yeah, and I had someone message me recently that wanted to stop astral projecting, as they have recently seen the movie Insidious and it scared the crap out of them. Do you have any tips on how to stop spontaneously astral projecting? I’d like to know too.

What? The Rope Method is FAMOUS.
Nope, you don’t trick it. You create the seperation by imagining… bah, you get it. No, you don’t. You can astral project without being asleep, contrary to popular belief. Yes, your body needs to be relaxed to a certain level but then it is all up to the mind.
Hmm…
Let’s see..
I don’t really know, as these things aren’t normal. It could be that they are projecting so fast that the subconscious doesn’t have time to generate dream content, though that is extremely unlikely. I’d recommend that they set an intention to have a good night sleep and maybe listen to some delta brainwave entrainment, as astral projection happens in the theta state. Spontaneous projections can also happen from sleep deprivation.
You really know your stuff, Sol. The only times that I have really accidentally projected, minus one or two exceptions, have been when I was really sleep deprived. I never thought about it enough to make that connection, but there it is.
Alpha, Beta, Delta… Oddly enough, I’ve been reading about brain waves lately for my upcoming e-book about meditation, but I haven’t read much about Theta. It’s interesting in that astral projection occurs in that brainwave state.
I’ll refer the person who e-mailed me to this article and this comment – thanks!
By the way your new website is awesome. I don’t know if I told you that yet or not.

Hey Sol,
I’ve never actually astral projected (I haven’t really wanted to), but this is the third article today that I’ve come across that deals with it, so…. I’m wondering if I’m being drawn to it. Hm. May have to give it a try.. Shall we meet on the astral plane ?
I love how you made the distinction between astral projection and dreams and explained what the astral place is. You’ve given me something to think about.
Hugs!

Oh. Hello, Melody!
YOU ARE BEING GUIDED BY UNSEEN FORCES.
I’d love to meet you on the astral plane, but it’s hard. Especially if one of us is dreaming.
Hi Sol,
I’ve astral projected a couple of times for sure and it was quite amazing. I only wish I could do it willfully instead of it just “happening.” In both of my experiences I was awakened by my body vibrating all over. I was literally buzzing! Unfortunately, I really don’t know how or why my body did this.

Hi Sol,
I remember early on when I first began my spiritual journey 7 years or so ago, I took an interest in astral projection. It wasn’t a hardcore interest but I did read up a little on it and tried to do it myself. But there was no discernible results on my part and eventually I gave up and moved on to other things.
Of special note to me is your mention in your comments that time does not work on the astral plane. I remember reading about this in the Dune and Warhammer series and how people with precognitive abilities have to sift out when something happens and place it in context. I guess since foreseeing the future is a passion of mine, I keep an eye out for things related to it regardless of the medium.
It’s great you have given a how to guide to astral projection as well as making mention of some of the things we might face in the process. I guess it won’t hurt to try it out and see how it goes. Like you said, practice makes perfect and this is indeed true in any area of life.
Btw, this is off topic, but if you played Skyrim I am sure you would have made an awesome mage haha!
Thank you for sharing this lovely article!

I HAVE played Skyrim, Irving!
And welcome back, by the way.
I definitely recommend you check out astral projection. I once heard that a woman won the lottery by astral projecting and then had gnomes present the lottery numbers to her.
Now if only you could astral project and give me those lottery numbers haha! But I suppose the issue we have to contend with is knowing when the numbers happen?

Such an amazing text! I’m quite a newbie here and I haven’t heard much about astral projection yet, but you posts made me really curious. I just want to get in this amazing world:) thanks for the inspiration

Astral travel has so much to offer.. I used to have lots of flying dreams, premonitions but back 20 years ago it was not very accepted to talk about such subjects.. Well, at least where I lived. And then I stumbled upon this book: Astral Travel & Dreams by Belzebuub (I got it on amazon.com some years ago now). And I got so much out of it. I was able to consciously have several incredible out-of-body experiences. I highly recommend it if you’re looking into learning more about. It gives lots of different techniques, and also delves into the spiritual side of things, which at first I was not that interested into, and then really was amazed by verifying things in the astral world.. Anyway, it’s up to the individual to discover, but yeah, astral travel is real..! Glad to see people talking about it
I’ve had the ability to astral project in my early 20′s I’m in my late 20′s and now can control my flight, as I want. This is a nice post on astral projection. Thanks for sharing your insights!
