Astral Projection FAQs
Briefly, What is Astral Projection?
Astral Projection is a conscious attempt to experience being outside of one's physical human body, while being both alive and preferably awake at the time. It is an attempt to have a controlled OOBE or (out of body experience). It is not linked in any way to ritualistic magic and does not rely on any particular religious or belief system. There are techniques for achieving an OOBE. As yet I haven't heard of it being at all dangerous. However attempting to leave one's physical body under the influence of medication or hallucinogenic drugs is seriously not recommended! www.paranormality.com
What happens when people Astral Project?
They have what is commonly referred to as an OOBE or out of body experience where a 'part' of them, be it the soul or consciousness, rises up from their physical body and either travels on the physical plane or on the astral plane. www.paranormality.com
What is the Astral plane?
A topic of debate: The astral plane however can be likened to the Akasha, namely a place where all the thoughts, memories, fantasies and dreams of everyone in the world exist. The astral plane is thought to be a fantastic place to travel in, with many different travellers, entities and levels to it. It is said to operate at a much higher frequency than the physical plane we inhabit.
It is thought that the etheric body, spirit or mind can travel on the astral plane, which is said to appear more solid than the physical plane we all inhabit, this is because in order to travel it, the etheric body has to be existing and operating at the same higher frequency. According to some the astral plane is far more mutable than the physical and can be changed and altered simply by the power of thought.
