Find a quiet place . . . free of distractions. . .
Adjust the lighting and room temperature. . . (The bathroom floor works great. Remember to take a pillow and blanket with you so you are comfortable. )
Adjust clothing . . . footwear . . . eyeglasses. (Make sure your clothing is loose, and take off all restrictive clothing.)
Sit down or lie down . . . (some people can tend to fall asleep while trying this, so if your new at this, trying laying down so you don’t hurt yourself. )
Find a position that is comfortable for you . . .
Quiet your mind . . . Still your thoughts . . .
Relax your body. . .
Your face . . . your jaw . . . relaxing . . .
Your shoulders . . . your neck . . . relaxed
Your arms . . . your hands . . . feel at peace . . .
Your torso . . . your hips . . . letting go . . .
Your legs . . . your feet . . . totally relaxed . . .
Focus on your breathing . . .
Inhale slowly and deeply through your nose . . .
Retain the breath as long as is comfortable . . .
Exhale through the mouth slowly and completely . . .
Repeat for two more breaths . . . or as is comfortable.
(ONLY RULE OF ASTRALING.....BREATH!!!! Passing out is not good.)
Let go of the fear of leaving your physical body.
Remember you astral project when you sleep.
See yourself floating away from your physical body.
You may feel as release or perhaps hear a sound as you leave.
If you get fearful, please stop as you are not ready for astral projection.
Anything done in metaphysics should feel comfortable and easy.
If it is stressful, let it go for now, as you are not ready.
Quiet your mind. Clear your thoughts.
In your mind say:
"I'm going to count down from 3 to 1, visualizing each number on a white orb suspended in the air above my head. When I reach the third and final "1" my body will be deeply relaxed. I will have no awareness of physical sensations. I will not perceive any physical discomfort. My consciousness will be focused on my astral body.
(This is how I adjusted it to fit me. I use + and - signs. I visualize breathing in + signs for a count of 6...hold for a count of 3....and see myself lowing out - signs. I know this is working when I feel a tingling in my arms and legs. )
Now visualize a white orb suspended in the air above your head. Mentally focus on the orb I visualize a number "3" on the face of the orb. The numbers can be any color. They may vary with each experience. Visualize the 3 --three times: three number "3's" on the orb. Your body is completely relaxed. You are losing awareness of your physical body.
Then repeat the visualization with three numbers "2's." You are into greater relaxation. Now visualize the "1's." You are losing awareness of physical sensations. Your consciousness will be in your astral body.
Repeat this using the number "1's" three times. Your consciousness is now in my astral body.
This could involve training of several sessions. You may also find audio tapes that take you down into these altered states as well. You are getting better and faster as you go along each time.
(John Edwards has great tapes!)
There is no set agenda for how often you practice astral projection or any other out-of-body technique. It soon becomes fun. It is like a deep meditation.
Now the key is to remain conscious while my body is asleep. Different thoughts may pull you from your focus as the mind loves to chatter. Just push these thoughts away.
I used this method as something to help further along my astral projection. What I found that works for me is a visual Mantra. Find something you are comfortable with. A picture, music, or a sound is all great things to focus on. Even a person who you are comfortable around might help. Focus only on that object until you know it inside and out. After a while, you will be able to think of this thing you have used as your mantra, and almost instantly astral.
