How to Astral Travel
by Sarah Delamere Hurding
What exactly is astral travel? Astral travel is a launch into worlds on the ethers. It is considered a nonphysical experience since the physical body does not go anywhere. To be successful, it is important to lose the consciousness of being in a body. Therefore, the best success with astral traveling occurs either when we are asleep or in a meditative, alternative state of consciousness.
Prepare to Astral Travel
If you are awake and want to practice getting into this deeply relaxed state, find a place where you know you will be completely undisturbed. Lie down comfortably on the floor or bed with your arms placed loosely beside your body. Relax as much you can by sinking your body deeply into the surface you are using. Blend your energy with the floor or the bed and calm your mind.
Focus on your thumbs in particular and keep these perfectly still. Focus on their shape, weight, and size as well as the flesh and the bone and BE inside your thumbs. This may sound odd, but it is designed to focus your energy in one, very specific limited place. You may well find your thoughts flying off in all directions. Each time this happens, bring yourself back inside your thumbs. When your energy is fully focused on your thumbs, start to move your attention to the different fingers on your hands. In the same way, move into your forefingers; then to the middle fingers, ring fingers, and finally, the pinkies. Move through each set in turn, making sure your attention is fully present in each one as you proceed. You will quickly get the hang of this.
Once you have conquered the hands in this way, your attention must then begin to move around the body in the same way. Each stage with this exercise takes you deeper and deeper into a meditative state, so that you will be able to begin your travels. Work from your hands to your forearms, your upper arms, to your shoulders, then down the sides of your body.
During each stage of this, you must feel fully engaged and present in the relevant body part. Work down to the hips, the legs, the knees, the calves, and the feet. Then, take your attention to the toes beginning with the big toe. In the same way you did with the fingers, work your way through the pairs of toes ending with the smallest. Once you have completed the toes, move quickly back up to the pelvic region of the body (you will notice that we skipped this on the way down). Focus on the buttocks first and then jump up to the nape of the neck. Move your energy across the scalp, the face, and down to the throat. Then, descend down through the chest, the stomach, and back to your pelvic floor deep inside your body. Repeat this entire process a couple of times, speeding it up each time as you get the hang of moving your focus very specifically around your body.
This exercise will very quickly get you into a deeply relaxed state. Once you find yourself completely blissed out, begin to imagine that you have a spiritual body of energy; this is your energy floating above your physical body. Remember, you are not a physical body; you are a soul inhabiting a physical body. Visualize your vibrant energy body as similar in size and shape to your physical body, but this etheric body is made of white golden light laid over your flesh and blood body. Feel the lightness and purity of your spiritual body. Sense the difference of your physical body as heavy as clay on the bed or the floor while your spiritual body echoes it in all ways except density.
Your spirit body is light and energetic, similar to a helium balloon, and could float off just as easily right up to the ceiling. Once you sense this floating sensation fully, bring yourself back into your body and feel through the physical parts once again to ground yourself fully. Work your way back through the system in reverse and bring yourself back into the room. You should find yourself amazingly energized and peaceful after this exercise. Repeat it regularly since it is important preparation. Once you have met and connected with your physical and spiritual bodies in this way and experience their difference, you are ready for the next stages in learning to astral travel.
Practicing the above technique in the daylight and waking hours will assist you in traveling the astral realms at night during your sleep. You may find that you quickly experience astral travel at night. Even so, do try these other advanced stages to hone your experience.
Your Astral Travel Experience
As you prepare to sleep, quickly run through the stages of your relaxation method. Move your attention around the parts of your body in the same order as before feeling the weight of your body on the bed. Simultaneously, allow the spiritual body to become light as a feather. Keep your two bodies very much in mind while focusing on the inside of your eyes. Access your inner vision in this way. You may see a light show and colors in your peripheral vision or on your inner screen.
As you begin to astral travel, the color around you becomes an intense purple. Even while your eyes are closed, you could get a sense that the room is bathed in purple light. This is your eyes connecting with ultra violet light, which enhances our spiritual experiences and travel to the other realms. While your eyes are still closed, start to see the room around you. Visualize it in detail. Focus on one object in the room, preferably the light fitting above your head. Whatever you see in your mind’s eye is the right object to work with. Imagine this getting bigger and bigger as it moves towards you. When it is very close up, flip yourself into this object and turn to look at yourself on the bed. This may sound spooky and pretty impossible. Actually, once you are experienced with the above relaxation technique, it is much easier than you would think. As you look at yourself lying on the bed, enjoy the scene and stay out of your body observing yourself. Do this for as long as you feel comfortable. If you panic or want to return home to the physical, simply visualize yourself back in your body, and there you will be – safe and sound.
Get used to this process regularly, as it is another important stage in learning to comfortably cruise the ethers at night. You may well experience some odd sensations at point like high-pitched or odd sounds, bangs, and flashing lights, but it is all part of the fun and perfectly normal.
