Are you familiar with Astral Projection?
Welcome back to my Spiritual Awareness series here at Sally’s Smorgasbord. Today I’m speaking about the act of Astral Projection. So, what is Astral Projection?
The astral plane is the realm of dreams and spirits. When we astral plane, we are taken to a level beyond the physical where we live here on earth. Astral Projection is the vehicle method we use to visit an intermediate world of light between heaven and earth. Those who have astral traveled say when in the astral, they can feel they are in the present, along with all their senses. People often experience this during illness or if they’re involved in a near death experience, if not practiced intentionally.
Astral planing is a spiritual journey of the out of body experience, known as OBE. It is like floating out of our bodies and watching our body below, not unlike what many tell us they experience in near death situations, or while in an operating room as their soul spirit watches from above. The nature of astral traveling is we can explore another plane that does exist. It is said that approximately 10% of the population has had an OBE (out of body experience). So how would we know if we’ve astral planed?
Astral planing is basically, lucid dreaming. It is the separation of our spirit body from the physical body allowing us to experience the astral realm. And remember, our body is still connected by a silver cord, enabling us to return anytime. In actuality, it is the brain’s body schema (its perception) of our physical form being altered. Nothing is “leaving” our body, we can literally only feel our conscious self, leaving our body when we start to fall asleep, that is why we sometimes feel like we’re falling while dreaming as we are startled and our body shakes us awake. the first step to starting an astral projection.
The goal is to transcend our physical being, mentally. Our soul doesn’t disconnect completely from our body, it’s just something people say as a way to describe astral projection.
It’s important to do our research before attempting astral projection, making sure we have a clear and pure intention because astral projection is the law of attraction for the soul, meaning that whatever we reflect will come back to us during our soul journey.
While we sleep, our subconscious is in control. The difference between unconscious astral travel when asleep and dreaming, and practiced astral projection, is by using conscious astral projection, we’re able to control where our soul travels, also referred to as conscious sleeping.

How to Astral Travel
Lie down or sit in a chair in a quiet place and focus solely on your deep breathing. Do this until your mind draws blank and the only sound you hear is the sound of your deep breathing, and you’re just about to fall asleep, but still awake. Continue on with deep breaths for approximately 20 minutes when you will begin to feel a tingling or numbness within your body, and you eventually lose consciousness of your physical body. Don’t panic, stay focused, and do not move or allow in any thinking, just stay focused on the breath, this is part of the process. Once we’ve achieved this vibrational stage, we can begin to use our willpower in one of several ways.
Vibrational Stage
Our vibrations have now been shifted to an alternate frequency, which enable us to project. We must next visualize ourselves moving – without moving, as we need to begin lifting ourselves out of our physical bodies. . . please continue reading at Sally’s Smorgasbord . . .

It’s all quite fascinating. I’ve never had an OBE, but I’m aware that my sub-conscious is in control when I’m asleep. This is because I can always tell myself a time to wake up, and I will, almost to the minute. I never need an alarm clock. x

I can’t do this if I try to do it, but it happened to me once when I was sleeping. It was weird! But it felt kind of nice too. I was floating about a foot off my bed. I don’t talk about it much because people would think I was crazy. Well, now you know. I’m crazy, I guess.

Astral travel sounds intriguing Deb, I wonder if a normal person can experience it! I’ve read about people’s experiences of going into this stage during illness or in a near death experience. I am hopping over to read the full post. 😊

A fascinating subject. I’m one in the majority who has never had this experience. I understand it’s not the same thing, but some of my flying dreams seem quite realistic like I’m in control of my body as it moves through space.

Thanks Pete. You may very well be astral planing in your flying dreams. The subconscience is busy as we sleep too. 🙂

Flying in dreams is so much fun. It seems to work as long as you believe you can do it but if you doubt yourself you tumble down. I’ve only dreamed that I was flying two or three times, ever, but I remember it was a beautiful feeling.

This was a great post, Debby. I’m doing a little cranial housekeeping to help get my vibrational frequency up for the new year. Maybe not enough for astral traveling, but for a sense of the big picture and some peace and gratitude in the moment. Hugs, my friend.
