Every one of us already has the ability to astral project. Many people astral project without being aware of it. However, it is learning to control the experience while astral projecting which is important and is what we will be discussing here.

We'll assume that you already know about the astral plane and the astral body. Instead of defining these terms, we'll cover methods of learning how to astral project. It's something that everyone does a little differently, so you need to find the techniques which perform the best for you individually.

One technique you can try when you're lying in bed before you sleep follows. There are five steps to follow in this technique.

*First; Relax your entire body completely. The best way to do this is to start with your toes and work your way upwards, tensing and then relaxing each part of your body. You'll become deeply relaxed as you do this and your body may feel extremely heavy; this is perfectly normal.

*Second; Focus on your breathing. Take deep, slow breaths and concentrate on the feeling of the air filling your lungs. Exhale slowly, visualizing your tension and stress leaving your body each time you exhale.

*Third; Concentrate on the feeling of your body's total relaxation. Think of it as a stone or a lump of earth; something which is heavy and immobile. Now refocus your attention to your astral body; think about how light it feels, weightless in fact. Close your eyes and visualize your astral body floating away on the breeze.

*Fourth ; Right now, you may experience what many people do while practicing this technique; the sensation of seeing around in your darkened room, even with your eyes closed. The room will appear to be illuminated by a purple light. If you experience this, try to focus on the ceiling.

*Fifth; Try to visualize pulling this light to your astral body. You'll feel like you're floating; this is your astral body floating above your physical body. Just look down and you'll be able to see your bed with your physical body at rest below.

If you've been able to make it through all of these steps, you've done it! You can now depart on astral travels. If you can't astral project this way, there's another method which you can try.

This one is known as the gazing technique and it's actually quite simple. Choose an object which you can see while you're lying in bed and focus on it. It doesn't matter what this object is, just make sure that it will be within your line of sight while you're lying down.

With this object in your line of sight, lie in bed and focus on it. Even as your eyes begin to feel heavy, continue to focus on the object, staring at it. Eventually you won't be able to keep your eyes open, but you should be able to see it even now with your eyes closed. You might feel like sitting or standing, so go ahead; but don't panic when you see your sleeping physical body lying in bed!

If you aren't immediately successful with these techniques, don't give up. There are other ways to astral project, though any technique can take some practice. Be persistent and you will learn how to astral project before too long.

It's not really all that important how you start to astral project. Whatever works for you is great; the important thing is to let your subconscious mind know that it's OK for your astral body to depart to travel the astral plane and that there's nothing to fear. One way you can get this message across to your subconscious mind is by using affirmations.

There are plenty of techniques which can make it easier to astral project and you should use whatever works best for you.

Hypnosis, especially guided hypnosis works for many; having an expert there to explain everything and tell you exactly what you need to do can be extremely helpful.

There are also new audio technologies which can help you to astral project. One particularly interesting one involves something called binaural beats. Different frequencies are played in each of the listener's ears, quickly producing the deeply relaxed state needed for astral projection.

Learning how to astral project isn't actually that difficult. It's really just about practicing. This is an ability which every man and woman already possesses; it just takes a little work and a little patience to learn to do it at will. Just like being able to read, it's something you're born with the capacity to do; but you do need to practice to become expert in it.
