Astral Projection for Beginners

The article above was written by my alter-ego DeathNotes 7 years ago so I figured it’s time to start working on a follow up.

As mentioned previously, astral projection/ travel requires advanced meditation technique. It will be difficult to achieve body separation without first teaching the psyche to let go of the body and its influences and desires.

When you feel you have mastered the previously mentioned technique of relaxation and separation it’s time to move on to the possibilities of actual travel. This is the exciting part of learning to move without your body and leads even further down the path of self-enlightenment.

I believe that death is just a doorway and that one can learn to move on after this life in a number of ways.


So now that you understand how to and can achieve separation from the physical self, how do you maintain conscious thought to will yourself onward to what’s next? How to you avoid distraction and the strong pull of the body for you to return?

Many travelers have reported achieving that altered state of separation only to find themselves snapped back into reality by distractions and random thoughts. It’s as if the cord that ties your astral body to your physical body gets pulled and you quickly find yourself back in the physical.

First thing to note here: make sure before beginning that you find yourself in a space that is free of distractions for the duration of the time you intend to travel. It’s said that Bebarlang Vampires are highly skilled astral travelers that find secured locations for their physical beings before traveling out. This is a common practice to minimize interruptions.

Worthy of mention: distracting thoughts are going to happen. The best thing to combat them is to let them happen. Many times travelers will find themselves on the verge of a great journey only to experience the stray squirrel thought that halts them in their tracks.

When those thoughts occur, it’s important to avoid getting frustrated. Let the thought come and go naturally. Gently pull your concentration back and if you find you can’t let the thought go, then get up and return later to try again. You must force yourself to not get frustrated if you have to give in to a distracting thought. It’s difficult to retrain yourself to release those thoughts later on if you teach yourself up front to be frustrated when it happens.

Others have suggested that astral projection is easier with background music or white noise to fill the room instead of dead silence. If the silence is too distracting try playing soft music or try teaching yourself a mantra to repeat over and over in your mind.

Eventually you will want to take off the training wheels and learn to project without the need of music or specific conditions that may not always be available.

For that reason alone, many astral travelers have suggested the use of a focal point. This is a mental image that you find draws your consciousness to it. Some will use a location to pull their consciousness away from the body as a transition to the actual journey.

Another common distraction is the body’s desire to move rather than lie still. When you first attempt to project you may find that your own body yanks you backwards with a knee-jerk reaction.

The best way I’ve found to combat this is by training your mind the same way you trained it to avoid distracting thoughts: let it happen and don’t get frustrated if it breaks up your session at first.

When your body moves, concentrate on adjusting your position slightly so that you don’t feel as inclined to move. Chances are high that your current position is unnatural and moving your foot slightly to one side or adjusting your position in one direction will help to curb your body’s desire to flop around at the wrong moment.

When you know that you’ve made the adjustments necessary you are ready to focus on ignoring the desire to move. When the urge to move comes, make note of it mentally and then remove your focus from it. It’s kind of like acknowledging that someone needs your attention and then continuing on with your current activity until you are finished.

I hope this helps fledgling astral travelers. This is solid technique that has worked for me personally. Feel free to message me with questions or add me to your friend’s list.

Safe journeys to my fellow travelers-
