Think back to the last time you had one of those dreams where you’re flying and you’ll be able to get a sense of what astral travel is like. When your astral body is exploring, this is how it makes its way around. It’s like flying, but you can be anywhere you want to be instantly; all you have to do is to focus on it. While your physical body and your mind are at rest, your astral body is free to set off and allow you to experience astral travel.
Astral travel can occur during sleep, but it is important to make the distinction between astral travel and dreaming. These are two separate phenomenal; dreams happen in the brain and are our mind’s way of processing the events of your day. It replays your day in combination with other remembered events and in this way, we work through the stresses of daily life and awaken refreshed. Astral travel is something else entirely and while you forget many of your dreams even before you awake, this is not the case with astral projection.
When you wake remembering vividly even the smallest detail of what has happened as your body was at rest, this is almost certainly an astral travel experience rather than a dream which you are recalling. It’s important to keep a journal where you can write down everything you remember. You’ll want to add to this record and refer back to it periodically. It won’t all make sense at first, but much like putting together a puzzle, a picture will begin to take shape.
Just as dreams allow your mind to process your day, astral travel refreshes the spirit. The experiences you have and the benefits you’ll see as a result of astral travel are unique to you. This makes keeping an astral travel journal a good idea, since comparing your results to those of someone else is of little value.
One of the benefits of astral travel common to everyone who practices this ability is an increased sense of self awareness and a better idea of where you fit into the rest of the universe. This helps you have inner peace and enhances your sense of well being. Memory and general mental acuity are also commonly improved by astral travel due to normally unused parts of your mind being accessed as you astral project.
Astral travel tends to help other innate psychic talents come to the surface. Many who have learned to use astral travel say that they feel more telepathic and can more easily detect spiritual presences around them.
Astral travel lets you see things and go places you never would be able to otherwise; including inside your own psyche; and the reward is that psychic abilities and mental acuity begin to bloom.
Even those who previously expressed skepticism about the practice usually change their minds after having some experiences with astral travel. They often find that it changes the way that they look at the world and increases their ability to see things which may otherwise go unseen.
Of course, astral travel can also be fun. You can think of it as sending your astral body on a mini-vacation, taking in the sights of exotic, far off places and returning relaxed and ready to help you live a better life.
Really, it’s amazing that everyone doesn’t use astral travel. However, most people mistakenly believe that this is an ability which can be used only by a very lucky few. In fact, the opposite is true: anyone can astral travel; it’s only a question of making the choice to develop this natural ability.
Everyone of us can astral travel; even if you thought it was only a dream, you have done it before and you can learn to do it consciously.
You should begin by simply allowing yourself to naturally have astral travel and writing down your experiences. After doing this for a while, you’ll be able to begin trying to make astral travel happen consciously. It takes practice, but the benefits of learning to do so, as well as the experience itself are a great reward for your efforts.
We can all learn to astral travel; it’s simply a matter of practice and training yourself for the experiences. You can find a wealth of good resources which can help you to prepare yourself for astral travel. Keep at your practice and you can achieve the inner peace which comes from being able to travel outside of; and within yourself.
