If you want an astral project, you must first banish all doubts and fears. If you can’t do this, ditch the idea of astral projection for now and focus on learning more about it. This will help you get rid of fear and prepare for a real astral projection experience. After that, you can consider what Robert Monroe has to say about astral projecting.
Robert Allan Monroe, known for his research on altered consciousness and founder of the Monroe Institute, has taught many students how to do an astral project. Before preparing for the project, Monroe advises the students to remove all jewelry and loosen their clothing. Students should also make sure that they are in a quiet and peaceful place. To banish fear and enter a receptive state of mind, students are advised to affirm that the experience they are about to have is for their good and will do them good.
Monroe teaches astral projectors how to astral project in 7 simple and safe steps.
First step
Relax your body and mind completely. Monroe does not specify any technical relaxation; so you can use the technique that best suits your needs.
Second step
Enter the hypnagogic state of mind, a state close to sleep. Monroe calls this Condition A. Again, it doesn’t specify a method. You can use any method you like to enter Condition A.
Third step
Delve deeper and deeper into Condition A. Begin to clear your mind of all thoughts. Look at the void in front of you. Soon, you will notice light patterns. These are just neural discharges; so don’t be alarmed. When these neural discharges cease, you will have entered Condition B. To astrally project successfully, you must enter Condition C, a deeper state of relaxation, and then Condition D, a state of total emptiness.
Fourth step
Go into a vibrate mode. When you have successfully reached the fourth step, you will feel a tingling sensation throughout your body.
Fifth step
Start controlling those vibrations. Push them on your head, up to your toes, or just flood them all over your body. Learn how to produce vibration waves throughout your body. Soon you will be able to vibrate at will. Once you have accomplished this, you are ready for an astral project.
Sixth step
First, project partially. Focus is of great importance during this step. Just focus on leaving your body; And push lost thoughts out of your head Monroe suggests that you release an astral limb (hand or foot) from your physical body, touch a familiar object with the astral limb, push your astral limb through the object, and then return the astral limb to your physical body. Repeat this often.
Seventh step
The time for complete separation has come. Monroe suggests 2 methods for this. You can simply lift your astral body from the physical body by imagining yourself becoming lighter, or you can use the unfolding technique and simply step out of your body.
The Monroe method generally works. If not, you should not despair. There are hundreds of books on how to astral project. Find the method that suits you best and stick with it. Soon you will be able to teach others how to astral project.
