How To Be A Master Of Astral Projecting

By Peter Escobar

The term astral projecting refers to the projection of a person's inner self, or in other words his spirit, astral body, soul, aura, or whatever term you refer it with, from that of his physical body to traverse a path towards higher ethereal realms.

The journey of your free spirit outside your physical body is something incomparable. It gives one the opportunity to observe himself and the world from a higher level of consciousness thereby developing the overall spiritual intent of his being, making him clearer on his true potential and the various aspects of life, death and reality.

If one tries to trace the beginning of astral projecting practices, or tries to pin point the place, culture or time where it all began, it will be an extremely difficult task since astral projecting has its existence since time immemorial and in all ancient religions or cultures of our world like that of Egypt, China, India and their western counterparts.

If we talk about Egypt, it is seen that they practiced preservation of their bodies after death so that they can travel to the next world along with its 'ka'. This 'ka' is the supreme energy force, or the immortal and omnipotent soul of a being which had the capability of traveling outside its physical bondage.

Astral projecting is an art that also features in the ancient manuscripts of the Hindus, a religion that is known to be one of the oldest and spiritually advanced. Hinduism in countries like India, has always been about the immortality and omnipotence of the soul that has the freedom of traveling anywhere or doing whatever it wants to, if one can achieve that required level of mind power so as to be able to come out the bondage of the physical body. Numerous scriptures and writings of spiritual men pave the way for how astral projecting is to be mastered and their own experiences thereof.

In case of the Chinese counterpart, astral projecting is achieved through alchemical practices, known as the separation of the spiritual body. This involves the extensive breathing meditation techniques in order to create another energy body. In simple words, a person deeply breaths and meditates to draw in energy into himself, in a small pearl like structure which is thereafter circulated in order to create the energy body which leaves the physical one and travels outwards and upwards.

Astral projecting can also be found in the western philosophies starting from the classical phase till the modern beliefs. In this case the astral body is considered to be the link between man's physical body and his soul while astral projecting in an astral plane is considered as travel amidst galaxies and the stars between the realms of heaven and Earth. Astral Projecting is described in the bible as traveling outside and beyond the physical body with a silver energy cord linking the two.

Thus, whatever the belief and whatever the practice in different religions over different transitions of time, it can be seen that astral projecting has forever been in vogue. Believed in different concepts and achieved in separate practices, it is that journey of one's inner soul that can be attained by each and every human. The key to its lies in meditation, being aware of one's subconscious and gaining a certain amount of control over it in order to project it outside for this one in a life time experience.
