The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

I have been trying to learn how and to understand it in itself... what exactly happens? can anyone do it? is it even real?

Astral projection is basically an out of body expieriance..... the astral form typically is said to contain ones soul. The process is traveling to the astral plane and can be done while awake, lucid dreaming, and meditation.

wait is there a diffrence between the asteral plane and this world? is it some other kind of demention?

The astral plane, also called the astral world or desire world, is a plane of existence according to esoteric philosophies, some religious teachings and New Age thought.... It is not considered the same as here where we are now.

so.. when you asteral project you arent traveling her you are going to a diffrent place...? i was under the impression that you remain in this world and can basically fly around and visit others

Well, that is where it gets complicated.... and I hope that someone else will come in here and post something useful.... lol. I have to think on how to respond to this. lol.

There are many ways to look at Astral Projection...Some would say it is a projection, others would say you already are there...I would be glad to take specific questions on this subject, as each mind has a different difficulty with it's concept and understanding of it...

i have done some astral projection myself, and i can do it without trying sometimes. in these travels i have met people before meeting them in person and have learned some future events to come. your mind must really be clear and i would suggest getting a book about it before you start. i read a very large book about it thats how i learned to do it, and also learned i was doing it before and not knowing it. many times it is done with drugs as well

The book Astral Love is very good. Pick it up and it may help you.

it is very real and yes anyone can learn to do it.

Asteral projection is the seperation of the body and spirit. In this freed state the sprit is free to travel to diffrent places or even dementions.

Astral projection is, as has been previously stated, an out of body experience. I would love to have the ability to perform this. Some of the above posts seem to have some very good information on it though.

There are a couple of authors who can teach the basics of astral projection.Of course effort is required.Any book written by Denning & Phillips is a winner to me.They have atleast two books on astral projection, one is just called astral projection I believe.I own almost every book they have written together.

They also have a kit for one of the books that you can purchase, this kit contains an audio tape that is basicly a hypnosis tape to help you into astral projection once your ready and at the level the book tells you to prepare for.And it also includes a piece of cardboard which has a slight illusion effect that when stared at and spun can ease you into a trance like state...I own the kit.

As far as where you can go and what you can do "out of the body". there are no limits and no boundaries that I have ever seen.

Oh it is definitely real. Yes I have experienced. My experience happened during an meditation session. I reached a level I had never reached before and truthfully it scared the shit out of me and I stopped meditating for a few months afterwards but back to the subject....

I felt like I was no longer sitting, I felt like I was beginning to hover but not my body this feeling came from within. Then I began to float upwards, my eyes was closed, when I opened them I was near the celling and I was looking down at myself. OMG I freaked out, shit I thought I had killed myself some kind of way but it was the freaking out and losing that focus that yanked me back into my body.

The Astral Plane is a place where the strength of the will determines power and strength, apart from natural ability.


Change your form, fly around, throw fireballs around (and hopefully not hit anything too powerful; fighting on the Astral Plane is a difficult thing; many things can overpower you)

I suppose, if one's ability to manifest is strong enough, one could even shape at least a small part of the Astral Plane into whatever one wanted, perhaps creating a mate, if only for the time you are walking the Plane.

and now that i'm not suck on a treo700p for typing, i can respond to this a little more in depth.

astral projection is very real and i have had some pretty interesting personal experiences with it. again, i have the beginner's primer in the members articles page here. to actually answer your question, it feels a bit like floating when your body and spirit separate. there is a sense of vertigo initially and that can scare the crap out of anyone.

there are some experiences where people have found themselves floating above their body and that's an unsettling sight for most. it has to do with the fact that we associate the physical body and its ability to interface with the world as reality, so suddenly not being in it tends to freak us out.

most of it is done via meditation and learning to let go of the physical body. there are plenty of good books, i recommend Edain McCoy's "Astral projection for beginners".

meditaiton and practice no negativity what so ever unless u wana cause harm here is what i do... light two candles and incense meditate for 20 min and sit indain style think of a chair and put a number like for instance 1800 and type in the time u want to go u can go to past future and present i do it all the time.

This thread is awesome well writen wxvamp...

Im having confusing thoughts............if you are above your own body arent you still in this plane? or is it the asteral plain?

some are giving the impression that when you release from your body you are in a dream world... some are saying you can float in this one(i think)

In the resource provided by newdeathsinsation it discusses that dream controlling is actually a form of asteral travel... i was prevously informed that it was seporate although similar....that dreams are always dreams and asteral is always asteral....what do you say?

I enjoyed recluses article and suggest everyone visiting this thread to please read it.. i still have my questions un answered but it was an excellent read.

Can anyone supply more information? this thread is getting barried.

I will tell of what I have learnt. it is possible the way to begin is through focus. meditation is a good one but one needs a point to meditate. ie to open the head shakra. once opened then one needs to learn how to leave ones body. this is not so hard its the opening that is hard. the way to open is to push with your mind out of your temples and out of the place were the third eye is. this then in time with focus or if you like meditation will force open the head shakra. then its just a matter of moving through the color gates fist blue the red the purple i belive ;) wial keeping a triangle of focus from your temples that then go to the point of infinity from the head shakra. the problem then once this has been accomplished is to close the shakra so as one can dream with out intrusion. the way to do so is to when your away shut your eyes and imagine that there is smoke coming out of the shakra. pull the smoke into your head untill there is no smoke left. then close the door behind the smoke. it is best to tie your self when traveling. if you do not you can get lost and find it hard to come back. I am still learning and there are others who can when the shakra is open I belive induce you to sleep and put things in your mind or even make you leave your body. still speculation on that one. but yes astral travel is real I think. more so than we realise. I must learn more.

away must be taken as awake this is important for to shut the shakra in dream state is to leave your body behind.

nice articale recluse but you must be able to protect your self. there are greater forces out there than a begining astral traveler. make sure you learn to shut the door. it is very very important. especialy if you touch minds with some people around here.

Hrm, I've heard rumors of people finding partners while their in the trance. Can't for the life of me remember what book it was but... anyone else know of this?

pihkal ;) there are compounds that will increase the amperage of the nueron there for giving greater accuracy and strenght to the traveler. 2,5 is the key

I agree, there is alot of diffrent views and stratagies listed here.

I wonder why it happened to me...I wasnt trying to do it and that wasnt my focus. I would like to read some info on this subject maybe i can learn why i experienced it.

Can't you astral sometimes when your'll asleep? Just wondering
I've done astral, and I taught myself but I'm still in the begininer stage.

It is very real... An out of body experience of sorts... I think that anyone can learn to do it if they honestly try hard enough.

Astral projection or astral travel refers to the purported experience of a person's conscious awareness leaving the physical body to observe the world from an independent and objective point of view. This is also referred to as an out-of-body experience.

i look at astral projection as placing your essence in an astral plane.. and yes it is both a different world...but also the same.. look at it as a way of two places existing together, but slightly out of phase with one another so that neither is aware of each other.

astral projeciton is mainly out of body, experience.. meaning you can see your spirit and wonder throughout different places, in mind.

It is more or less an out of body experience of sorts...wether it be while sleeping or awake.

either astral or eitheral they are both projections of another plane neither are a dream but some use dreams of sorts as means if travel most n the subconious mind there are cd's and dvd's that will help you learn to use it....took me some time but it is alot easier now... i will say some are ment for travel and some are not.

Can anyone supply more information? this thread is getting barried. >>

Astral projection doesn't have too many limits that I've found. One can enter the astral plane and re-emerge in a position of the astral plane that is adjacent to this world. My personal opinion is that one's etheric body makes an appearance in the physical plane, but it's not something that is sensed by many people in this world.

Perhaps one of the explanations for ghosts is simply a traveling soul wandering about. The only major key is to relax the mind and from there, the consciousness is free to roam in whatever manner to just about any location.

The separation in many senses feels like a splitting of the consciousness. Somebody mentioned to me that one must learn to close the door. That is correct. When one returns to one's body it's also important to ground, center, and cut off any ties to the astral plane that might be lingering around. Lots of people eat or drink something after astral travel to help ground themselves in reality again.

ok ive been trying the tips people have been leaving i haven't got anywhere yet.
i swear i was able to project when i was younger i just don't know how i was doing it, i know i was projecting cos i would feel myself drop onto my bed and my bed would move thhen i would physically wake up

CuRsEdToDaRkNeSs is right. But I have also heard of this happening to people while they sleep.

what i heard about it happening in their sleep , they sometime wake up and think they are seeing a ghost , when all it is is the spirit trying to get back into the body.

Astral projection is based on meditation and feeling no negativity sround you clear your mind light incense and candle turn off the lights picture your self in a dark room and turn into a movie theatre.. your sititng in a chair .. there is lots of people .. all of a sudden they go away.. and u float up word ina single chair .. press the number of year you want to go and it shall work it has for me..

Remember, 9 times out of 10 you are trying too hard if you are not able to project. It is a process of letting go, it is not a process of trying hard enough.

Any dreams you remember at night are moments in the astral, and generally are lessons that you need to remember. So its always important to keep a dream journal.

Not ALL dreams remembered at night are astral travel. As a matter of fact, few of them are actual "astral projections".

Astral projection is a projection of your consciousness within your energy body. Dreams that you remember that are very vivid fall under the category of lucid dreaming, not astral travel.

i can Astral project i find it easy cause i fall to sleep. on afew occasions i have woken up not knowing where i have been but feeling really tired. once i was out my body for 11 hours and i was staying at a friends. wasnt good considering i had a math test the morning and missed it. no-one could wake me up. had to call my parents to wake me and they were there for 2 hours before i did.

Astrel projection or soul travelling,i dont know much about this,but i heard that if you wake the person while there in process.they,re history.we are one of many realms,i believe itspossible.

For the last time, astral projection is not a sleeping skill. You don't astral project when sound asleep. That is lucid dreaming or uncontrolled OBE.

Suave:> The whole myth about waking someone up out of astral traveling and killing them is nothing but a myth. Sure, it's unsettling as hell when someone breaks you out of astral travel mode and snaps you back into your physical body, but it doesn't kill you. It might leave you feeling very ungrounded, but the easy cure is to ground and center.

look everyone has their own opinions on things. i do it when i sleep, people do it when their awake. its like different skill. i find it easyer when i fall to sleep. just because u dont do it doesnt mean it wrong. my friends kate can do it when shes asleep does that mean me n her are both wrong? no. it means we do it differently.

No, it's not wrong, it simply means that you are unconsciously projecting vs controlled astral projection. Yes, there is a difference between the two.

Asleep it is called lucid dreaming. You control where you go in your dreaming life. Astral projection is the awareness while still conscious method of OBE. They are two methods of accomplishing the same thing. So no, you are not wrong, but what you do is not considered astral travel. It is considered lucid dreaming.

However, I suppose that lucid dreaming still falls under the umbrella as soul travel, so therefore it is a method of astral projection as well. Given that consideration, then yes, lucid dreaming achieves the same end as conscious astral projection.

Me? If I'm asleep, I'm asleep and rarely remember much less can control what goes on. To each their own.

Jenova, Thanks for waking me up on what my problem is. I am trying too hard, in regards to your post of 9 out of 10 times. While still new to the astral projection thing I have managed it more than once but I assume that would be considered uncontrolled OBE. Simply because I really had no control it just seemed to happen. However, I have made the distinction between lucid dreaming and controlled OBE's, if that is the right way to phrase it. I am currently reading Mastering Astral Projection by R. Bruce and B. Mercer.

no...it is not possible, if it was possible don't you think we would have found osama by now. if anyone thinks they have actually projected themselves they are imagining it. by asking this question you have shown me that you are dumb. i am sure that i can ask my 8 year old sister if this is possible and she can give me the correct answer...whats wrong with all of you?

Scholars who have studies the Bible as well as ancient scrolls have come to realize that the ancient schools of Melchezidek required a person to "Astral project" or leave their body in order to gain access to the knowledge contained there in....but that the out of body experience could only be for short periods of time because it would bring harm to the physical body.

steve, did you ever think that in your staunch denial perhaps that YOU are the idiot and fool? Seriously, get over yourself. People who don't wish to dabble in possibility are stuck with the world as-is. They are unimaginative and have a slow, stagnant mind. I almost feel sorry.

ahh what the ?Always an antagonist hmmm?
I would say it there has to be somthing to this,as I have had it happen by accident.Scared the hell out of me too,putting it lightly.
Seems that not only had the "out of body" visions been the same as others who've posted,but I could feel and hear the wind as well.
I sometimes find myself wishing I could duplicate what I did to perpetuate it.
I wouldnt need the pc anymore and I could go find Osama..

Steve...you're confusing Astral Projection with Remote Viewing.....And they know where Osama is, but the politics involved to retrieve him...It's not going to happen.

I was just thinking the same thing Dragoneyes,and was getting on here relate that..so imo,good call..
They are closely related albeit different techniques and results.Well,I mean in that in RV visions are written on paper and then interpeted, whereas in AP the viewer might actually be there.Other differences pertain to time and stuff dont they ?

There is a movie called "Hearts in Atlantis" (I think?) that is about a hidden government program training psychics or people with the potential to be psychic to work for the government. Who knows that they don't still have a program like that running today?

They do.

Hey now, the topic of discussion is Astral Projection. I'd hate to see a thread get ruined by starting a political discussion. Now proceed...

Just a concerned citizen...

Astral Projection is a form of movement from one place to another, it can happen on an astral plane, or it can be done on this earth, i have been to many states, countries, and continents by means of astral projection, most times i arrive somewhere, i have a deja vu that i have been to a certain place before, plus, i have drawn images from other countries later finding out (in years in advance) that i have drawn the exact same thing when my physical body has not been there before, it is quite fascinating when you learn to control it. and fun.

what about the term "building a astral temple" I ran across it the other day and now can't find it agian..I know should have booked marked it....but what it was talking about was "making" a place on the astral plane to meet with others sort of like a safe place has anyone else heard of this?

One of my favorite places on the Internet that disappeared a few years ago was called the Chaos Station. It was an online forum that explained and created a virtual and astral world. This station explored 8 aspects of itself and was in fact, an astral location. By group consensus, it existed and I visited it several times and saw people in passing that I wasn't able to "contact" probably because they didn't expect to see me there. The Chaos Station no longer exists, but for all intents and purposes, it was an astral space that was created by a few and shared by many.

In it, I was able to detect objects that were left on the astral plane by others and it was a good exercise in what is and isn't possible on the astral realm.

if when one is projected in the astral plane, does one do so being awake or in a dream like state, and if it is a dream like state, what can be retrieved when one returns? does one remember all that has taken place? am i understanding this right or am i off base?

I did an astral projection.
It's very dangerous and deadly...
Do not try it before you read at least 3 reliable manuals...
Moreover,it has no use-stay a live it's better,it's not a good feeling...at all...

Edgar Cayce, the sleeping profit has alot to say about astral projection. Also the author Jess Stearn has written about it. There is a great book entitled Messages from Michael, which goes in depth about the Ouija board, and spirits that come through. Astral travel is a difficult task, which can also be dangerous if the thread is broken. Its a lot to explain, but the thread comes from the solar plexus, and is like your lifeline. I personally am a bit frightened of astral travel as I have heard terrible things can happen if your thread breaks, and you are "lost." There are a lot of books about it! I dabble in a lot of psychic things :)

our earth has three plains and in between them we can go see them whenever i travel alot if u need help pm me i will teach you its pretty simple basic mediation clear thoughs ... and make sure u dont repell negativit yor karma will come at you. 3 times fold. ...

yes i think it is real and anyone can do if they put their minds to it....
