In the first few instances, nothing may happen but as you keep practicing, sooner or later you will leave your physical body. Banish all thoughts from within while chanting over and over again, ‘I fly, I float, I rise’. Keep repeating the phrase you have used to reach your heightened state. It is now time to begin your journey outward. At the same time, your body feels very heavy and relaxed. Your inner self feels light, at the same time it is supremely aware with your sense of hearing having become very acute. When your mind starts drifting to other things, will it return to your mantra.Īt some point, you will suddenly realise that you have entered a heightened state of awareness. When you feel very relaxed, start chanting silently to yourself, ‘I fly, I float, I rise’ repeatedly. As you exhale, tell yourself in the mind, ‘My body is relaxing’. Like in meditation, focus on each part of your body starting with your feet and ending at your head. Visualise yourself breathing in an atmosphere of peace, expelling disharmony with each exhalation. Inhale through your nose, and exhale through your mouth. Imagine them flowing out into a earthen pot which you then break.
Let meditational music float all around you, removing distracting sounds from your sphere of attention. Sitting upright in a chair is recommended as you may fall asleep while prostrate. To start, find a comfortable position in a quiet place where you will not be interrupted.

Experience is the best teacher and learning how to travel across various levels is best learned by doing it yourself. It is not easy, however, to reach these without effort, especially for initiates in the art of astral projection. A myriad number of realities, planes and realms exist in the astral dimension. Time will feel distorted and even extended. But you will find it changeable and amorphous.
During an out-of-body experience while being conscious, the astral plane feels solid. Just like in lucid dreaming, conscious astral travel can be practiced. Have you woken up startled from a half asleep state? This happens when your astral body comes home fast and joins with your physical one. Some time or the other, all of us have felt rudely, but inexplicably shaken from sleep. It comes back the same way just before you wake up.

Without even realising it you have travelled to the astral plane numerous times. Both these are real while dreaming you experienced astral travel without intending to, the yogi sent forth his other self to converse with his disciple. In many books about famous yogis and gurus, are incidents that show that they have visited their devotees while in reality they were literally hundreds of miles away. Often the sensation feels so real that you wake up feeling slightly lost, as if you have been ‘beamed back’ to your current life. In your dreams, many times you would have seen yourself flying or visiting strange lands.
