Do you want to succeed in achieving Astral Projection /
Out of body experience? If yes, then I am about to show you the 3 MOST
IMPORTANT steps that will drastically increase your chances of success. These
3 steps are like a combination lock. In order to succeed, you need to do all
of them! So lets begin...
Physical relaxation is the foundation on which your success is based. Without
properly relaxing your body, it is almost impossible to make a conscious exit.
Your goal should be to get to a stage where you are not even aware that you
have a physical body.
There are many different types of relaxation techniques. The most commonly
used is Progressive Relaxation. You can employ any other technique that you
enjoy and find effective. In this article, we will briefly discuss the
Progressive Relaxation technique.
Progressive Relaxation :
This is a very effective relaxation method that suits almost any kind of
individual. I suggest you try this before any other method.
In this relaxation technique, you need to focus on each part of the body for a
few moments and mentally relax it. You start from your toes and slowly move
upwards towards your scalp. You should move to the next part of your body only
when you feel that the previous part is completely relaxed.
Lie on your back and shut your eyes. If your circumstances do not allow you to
lie down, you can even sit on your chair. Make sure you are comfortable.
Begin to inhale slowly through your nose. Keep on inhaling slowly, very slowly
till 8-10 seconds. Your lungs should now be full. Hold your breath for 4
seconds. Then slowly exhale till 8-10 seconds. Your lungs should now be
completely empty. Wait for a few seconds and repeat this cycle a couple of
times.
Now lets start relaxing the body. Make sure your eyes are shut. Feel your toes
and sense their weight. Imagine they are tired and tensed. Consciously relax
your toe muscles and make them at ease. Imagine that all the cells in your
toes are on a strike! They are not working, so they are totally relaxed! Your
toes should now be so relaxed that they no longer seem to be a part of your
body.
Repeat the same with your soles, ankles, calves, knees, upper legs, thighs,
abdomen, chest, buttocks, back, fingers, wrist, hands, upper arms, shoulders,
neck, eyes, eyelids, cheeks, mouth, jaw, head and scalp
Once you have relaxed your scalp, mentally scan your entire body. If you find
any place that is still tense, then consciously relax that part.
If you are doing this kind of an exercise for the first time, the entire
process should take around 10-15 minutes. But if you take longer, no problem!
Don't rush the process. Take your time. But with practice, you can achieve the
same level of relaxation in less than 1 minute! Regular practice is the key.

Hundreds of thoughts run through our heads every minute. This internal
dialogue is like a constantly chattering monkey. We generally do not notice
these thoughts in our day-to- day lives. But when we take up the daunting task
of silencing our mind, we become aware of how difficult it is to free
ourselves of these vagrant thoughts.
When you want to relax and quiet your mind, say for an Astral Projection
attempt, these thoughts and images become annoyances and will hinder the mind
taming process.
Your goal is to be an observer of the internal world. A way to do this is by
simply focusing on the blackness behind your closed eyes. Another way is to
focus on your breath. Alternatively, some people choose to use mantras, or
simply count from 1 to 10 repeatedly.
Whatever method you use, you have to simply observe any thoughts or feelings
that arise, don't analyze and describe them. Experiences and sensations would
come and go, but don't pay any attention to them. Just let them pass...
This is not very easy to achieve. But with regular practice, you will be in
full control of your thoughts. You would be able to extend this state of
"no-thoughts" for longer periods of time. This feeling is of pure
tranquility!
After Steps 1 and 2, you can now completely relax your body and silence your
mind. This is a remarkable achievement and a foundation for all kinds of
meditative practice, including Astral Projection.
Step 3 - Use an exit technique :
Once the body is relaxed (Step 1) and the mind is silenced (Step 2), we need
an exit technique that will trigger Astral Projection (Step 3)
There are hundreds of Astral projection techniques available. Since all
individuals are different, the ideal method and entirely effective formula to
leave the body still does not exist. You, a candidate to conscious projection,
must check which method best suits you.
Since there is no universal method that would work for everyone to attain
conscious projection, I will present many different kinds of techniques. You
should know them all so that you can find the one most effective for you. Some
of the popular techniques are:
Robert Bruce's Rope Technique ,
Watch Yourself While Going To Sleep Technique ,
Monroe's Technique ,
Projection from Lucid Dreams ,
The Hypnopompic State Method ,
The Red Spot Method ,
The Object Technique ,
Displaced Awareness Method ,
The Jump Technique ,
Affirmations ,
Muldoon's Thirst Technique ,
Stretch-out Technique ,
The Hammock Technique ,
The Trampoline Technique.
These 3 Keys that we have discussed will give you all the required foundation
for a successful, enjoyable and completely conscious Astral Projection. All
the best!
