THE BEST TIPS TO HELP YOU EXPERIENCE �ASTRAL  PROJECTION� FOR YOURSELF
  BY KALEE BROWNNOVEMBER
  Imagine this: You�ve gotten into bed and  shut your eyes for a moment, and then all
  of a sudden, when you open them again, you�re  hovering over your body.
  You�re conscious, but it�s not the you  you typically identify as, the one with a
  face and clothing and jewelry, but the real  you, your soul.
  You�re looking down at your body and you  realize you can move, almost as if you�re
  flying.
  You say goodbye to your body and begin to  travel around your room, down your stairs,
  out your door, and then� you wake up.
  This is a form of astral projection, commonly  referred to as an �out of body experience.�
  Some people have reported astral projecting  during a dream-like state, while others have
  experienced this same thing when they had  a near-death experience.
  Some find the experience terrifying, and others  find it humbling and exciting, knowing they
  can travel throughout the physical plane using  only their astral bodies.
  If you�ve ever wanted to try astral projecting  or wish to learn more about it, this article
  is for you!
  What Is Astral Projection?
  Astral projection is an esoteric term that  describes when the soul exits the physical
  body and enters the astral body.
  When astral projecting, you are consciously  aware of it.
  Many people will look at their physical bodies  and recognize themselves while they�re in
  a sleep-like state.
  It is said that astral projection is an out-of-body  experience that can be achieved either through
  dreaming, deep meditation, or even when you�re  awake.
  As far as I know, most people who astral project  will simply explore the physical plane as
  they know it.
  However, it is said that the Akashic Records  can be accessed from here and one can travel
  through timelines and even communicate with  other beings (sometimes even other projectors).
  It�s important to note that most people  don�t experience the same third dimensional
  physical constraints when astral projecting.
  For example, most souls are able to travel  while projecting out-of-body by way of flying
  or floating.
  Astral projecting is very different from dreaming  or even lucid dreaming.
  When you�re dreaming, you�re unconscious.
  When you�re experiencing a lucid dream,  you are usually conscious of the fact that
  you�re dreaming, and thus you can manipulate  scenarios and control your dreams.
  However, when you�re astral projecting,  your soul literally exits the body, but you
  are consciously controlling it.
  Techniques for Having an Out-of-Body Experience
  Though many people don�t consciously plan  to astral project, it is said that you can
  use certain techniques to help yourself astral  project or have an out-of-body experience
  (OBE).
  If you�re interested in trying to astral  project, give the following techniques a shot:
  The Rope Technique
  This is actually the only technique I�ve  tried, and I sort of had success!
  Though I didn�t have a full-blown OBE, I  definitely felt it coming on and left my body
  for a few moments, until I got too scared  and decided to stop.
  Basically, all you do is envision an invisible  rope hanging from the top of your ceiling,
  directly over your body.
  You then imagine that you�re reaching out  your �astral body hands� and slowly pull
  yourself up the imaginary rope.
  You may feel dizzy, which is completely normal.
  Keep concentrating on climbing the rope, hand  over hand and very slowly, and don�t stop
  until you�ve freed your astral body.
  Watch Yourself Falling Asleep
  This method requires you to be very diligent  as you begin to fall asleep.
  Tell yourself that you�re going to watch  yourself fall asleep and actually stay conscious
  during the entire process, including when  you enter into the dream state.
  Recognize every sensation you experience as  your physical body falls asleep, as this will
  help you remain conscious.
  As you fall deeper into a dream-like state,  you may experience some buzzing and heaviness.
  Use this to help yourself stay conscious and  visualize yourself floating above your body.
  Continue to visualize this until you hopefully  reach the point of OBE.
  Wake Back to Bed Method
  Though not very enjoyable for those of us  who enjoy sleeping, the �wake back� method
  is very popular to induce astral projection  as well as lucid dreaming.
  Set your alarm for a few hours before you  usually wake up, but don�t get up when it
  goes off, simply shut it off and lay back  down once your mind is awake.
  Ideally, you want to keep your alarm close  by so you barely need to move your body to
  shut it off.
  This way, your body will be close to falling  back asleep but your mind will be awake.
  Now, start to envision yourself astral projecting  in the same way, while also allowing your
  body to go to sleep.
  Try to remain conscious but allow your body  to get heavier and deeper into a sleep-state.
  Continuously focus on floating above your  body until you�re astral projecting.
  My Experience With Astral Projection
  To be honest, I wasn�t really sure if I  believed in astral projection until I actually
  experienced it myself.
  I had had tons of lucid dreams before, but  still the thought of projecting my soul out
  of my body and consciously hovering over it  didn�t seem realistic to me.
  That is, until it happened one night last  summer.
  I was sleeping with a friend and, despite  having slept there multiple times before,
  I was having a lot of trouble falling asleep.
  My mind was racing for a period of time but  it randomly shut off, and then I kept hearing
  this buzzing sound that didn�t really sound  like any vibration or frequency I�d heard
  from his house before.
  I remember closing my eyes and immediately  when I opened them, I was shocked.
  I was still staring at the ceiling, but instead  of being 10 feet away, I was only a few inches
  in proximity.
  I immediately recognized that I couldn�t  be lying down anymore and remember thinking
  to myself, �When did I stand up?�
  To my dismay, when I looked down, I saw us  sleeping.
  I then looked out the window and had somewhat  of an internal battle on whether or not I
  should leave the bedroom.
  Though I wasn�t using any words or thinking,  I intuitively knew that I was struggling to
  decide whether I should explore the night  sky or stay in the comfort of the bedroom
  near my physical body.
  I remained looking out the window for a long  time until I finally woke up, shocked that
  I had actually astral projected.
  Though many of you reading this may feel as  though I was simply having another dream,
  I know I wasn�t.
  I was confident that my soul had left my body,  especially because everything in the bedroom
  was so clear, and I had a strong sense of  Self throughout the entire dream.
  I�ve also had numerous �extremely realistic�  dreams, so realistic that when I wake up,
  I�m shocked it was a dream, but this was  very different.
  It was as if I had finally broken free from  my shell, and though it was invigorating,
  empowering, and somewhat comforting, it was  also slightly terrifying.
  It�s experiences like these that make us  seriously question our individuality, our
  uniqueness, and our personalities that form  our identities on this planet.
  We are not our physical bodies; I am not Kalee,  and that can be a scary reality to face (especially
  when you�re literally staring yourself in  the face, soul to physical body).
  However, although astral projection can shatter  your identity, you don�t have to abandon
  it.
  Yes, underneath it all, you are not your physical  body, nor are you your experiences and accomplishments.
  However, that doesn�t mean you have to give  it all up!
  We are on this planet to experience and to  feel.
  Though we are not our emotions at our cores,  that doesn�t mean we shouldn�t have them.
  If it�s on this planet, its existence serves  a purpose.
  This is the heart of detachment � knowing  your �attachments� (or what many consider
  attachments, like emotions and people) don�t  define you, because eventually, after �death,�
  you will no longer have them.
