Even though it is not scientifically recognized but you can find similar experiences through out history and different cultures.
Astral projection is natural just like the way you dream, we all astral project every night when we go to sleep but we are not aware of it and we forget when we wake up. However if you want to remember and master astral projection you just have to get a proper preparations before you try to astral project. there are different astral projection tips you can find them in lots of forums, so i have chosen the most important steps to guide you into astral projection.
1.Breathing; In every exercise either physical, mental or spiritual breathing is one of the keys to success. Meditating five minutes prior to astral projection techniques is very important as it makes your mind calm and serene ready to follow your commands. So five minutes just before your exercises you can choose to do a breathing meditation or take three deep breaths and then go on.
2.Affirmation; Sometimes our own personal beliefs gets in the way when we try to do something new, or when we step out of our comfort zone, in order to deal with this, it is important to find your own affirmations that will deal with your own fear, doubts or any other challenges that you are currently facing.
3.Relaxation; Relaxation is also an important part when it comes to mental exercises, when you are relaxed your mind drifts into alpha state, where it is highly receptive in this state astral projection techniques will be more effective than when you are not relaxed. You can download some mp3 or cd with binaural beats or self-hypnosis audios that will assist you in your relaxation.
4.Protection; Always remember when you step into the astral realm/etheric realm there are different types of etheric entities and energies that will influence your thoughts or your emotions, it is wise to protect yourself from these energies, it is not so much that they are harmful but you might disturb the natural order of things, Even though you are attached to your physical body with the silver cord but it is always wise to make a protective energy shield.
5.Techniques; You can always choose which method or technique is easier and comfortable to you, as every person differs from others. There are many astral projection techniques you can find them from different books, articles audio books etc, such as kundalini technique, vibrational technique, rope technique, rolling over technique, chakra techniques etc.
With out of body experiences you can time travel, visit ancient civilizations, visit different planets, visit past lives, visit akashic records, communicate with angels/spiritual guides/ extraterrestrials, develop your intuitions, clear your chakras, view auras and more spiritual gifts
