Western esotericism commonly uses the term astral projection to describe a purposeful OBE. "Astral projection (AP) is an intentional OBE that usually involves the experience that the self can seem to travel far from their body – even to other countries or planets." Often called an umbrella meditation."An out-of-body experience (OBE) is a transient experience some people have, while conscious, that their self seems to becomes separated from their body, floats above the body and looks back down at that body from an elevated location," says Jane Aspell, a cognitive researcher at Anglia Ruskin University in England, via email. If your meditation is in a group session, discuss each person’s travels with each other as this heightens everybody’s experience. Keep a journal close by and record your travels, 90 % of the time they will help you get in touch with your higher consciousness at a later date. Truly at this point, you have the freedom to lift off out of the body and go where you need to go. Such as I would like to meet with my guide for wisdom talks or I would like to meet with the angels for healing. Therefore it is a good idea to have a mediation mission in mind before you start. When you reach this part of meditation, you’re in deep by the time you come to the visualization. Drift now my child go in safety peace and contentment, come back with many answers and fewer questions than you did before. Ask now for protection and enlightenment as you astral travel off to learn from the great masters of your choosing. Rest now, think of nothing just relax feel comfortable, and at peace, concentrate upon the third eye, (pineal gland, located between the brow) here is where your journey starts. Close your eyes, control your breathing in through the nose out of the mouth.Ĭount 4 breaths in and 4 breaths out for a total of eight, (for example, breathe in, count one breathe out, count 2 breathe in, count 3 breathe out, count four and so on till reaching 8) then go back to one and repeat, do this 11 times for a total of 88 counts. Not at any time during meditation should you cross your arms or legs this entangles your chi and interferes with smooth energy flow.
Lay on the bed or floor on your back, legs shoulder-width apart and arms by your side. Stay in form concentrate and hold the visualization. Face your palms towards the ground, straighten your arms by locking your elbows.Įach time you inhale draw the life force (chi) energy from the earth bringing it up through the hand chakras and through the entire body. Control your breathing in through the nose out of the mouth. While poised in a ready stance close the eyes tilt the head back a little. Relax let the arms float back slowly beside you, sink the body into ‘ready stance’ (arms shoulder-width apart toes facing slightly inward, knees slightly bent). Hold your breath for five seconds and exhale out of the mouth, do this three times while stretched and poised in form. While poised in the ‘angel toward the sky’ formation, take a deep breath inhaling through the nose. Stand beside where you’re about to lay down, stand tall legs shoulder-width apart, stretch yourself towards the sky arms up, reach through the fingertips. Fly with me on a meditation journey which sometimes takes a lifetime to master so start now. Meditation into astral travel keeps us conscious through the process allowing the mind to remember the journey.
The ultimate goal of meditation is to be aware of this process allowing the body to fall asleep and the soul to detach.
