As an astral pro­jec­tion begin­ner, don’t you just hate it when you have the most awe­some astral voy­age and then when you ‘wake up’ from it you can hardly remem­ber it at all?

Don’t worry, here are 8 easy meth­ods that I would like to share with you in order to remem­ber what hap­pened dur­ing your astral pro­jec­tions expe­ri­ences because I know what it feels like at the begin­ning to for­get your out of body expe­ri­ence and poten­tially lose out on valu­able infor­ma­tion that you’ve gained through these experiences.

8 Steps to Recall your Astral Pro­jec­tion Experiences

1. Affir­ma­tion before Pro­jec­tion : Before you start your pro­jec­tion, always affirm that your con­scious­ness will be crys­tal clear dur­ing your trav­els and you will bring back vivid mem­o­ries of every­thing that hap­pens on the Astral plane. If you repeat this cou­ple of times with desire and intent, you will have a very good chance of hav­ing a high recall.

2. Affir­ma­tion dur­ing Pro­jec­tion : When you are out in the Astral, remind your­self sev­eral times that what­ever you are expe­ri­enc­ing will stay with you once you are back. Never loose this thought. Ham­mer this into your sub­con­scious that you will remem­ber, you will remem­ber. And you WILL remember!

3. Stay still! : As soon as you are back in your body, DO NOT MOVE from the posi­tion in which you awaken, and do not think of the day’s con­cerns. Keep your eyes closed and try to rec­ol­lect your expe­ri­ence. A major cause of dream for­get­ting is inter­fer­ence from other thoughts com­pet­ing for your atten­tion. There­fore, let your first thought upon awak­en­ing be, “What was I just dream­ing?” Allow them to nat­u­rally come to your mind. You may remem­ber them in frag­ments. Don’t worry. Try to remem­ber what­ever you can.

4. Keep a Dream Jour­nal : The sin­gle most impor­tant thing that you can do to increase your recall is to keep a jour­nal. You may call this diary your Astral Jour­nal if you want, and this will record details of all your Astral trav­els. An Astral jour­nal can be as sim­ple or as elab­o­rate as you want.

5. Recall back­wards : Cling to any clues of what you might have been experiencing–moods, feel­ings, frag­ment of images, and try to rebuild a story from them. When you recall a scene, try to recall what hap­pened before that, and before that, reliv­ing the dream in reverse. Write every­thing down

6. Change sleep posi­tion : If you feel noth­ing more can be recalled, try chang­ing your sleep­ing posi­tion. By doing this you will often remem­ber more. Again, keep on writ­ing every­thing that comes to your mind.

7. Cap­ture key­words : While recall­ing your expe­ri­ences, the empha­sis is on cap­tur­ing key words and phrases. Include a date and a mean­ing­ful title to each expe­ri­ence. This will help you in ana­lyz­ing what kind of expe­ri­ences you went through dur­ing a par­tic­u­lar phase in your life. It is also sug­gested that you write every­thing in the present tense instead of the past tense. This gives u a greater chance of recall.

8. Have a scrib­bling pad handy : It is also an excel­lent idea to have a scrib­bling notepad and pen handy, espe­cially by your bed. You may also have a bed­side lamp or flash­light for record­ing key words and phrases when you awaken dur­ing the night. You will some­times wake up in pitch dark with vivid rec­ol­lec­tions of your travel. Write them down imme­di­ately. Do not wait till you get up in the morn­ing. By morn­ing, you may for­get it altogether!

Look­ing to give your­self a new facelift with­out surgery by using botox?

Think again.

This arti­cle by Patrick of Energy Heal­ing Info dis­cusses the cos­metic surgery risks for out of body expe­ri­ence enthu­si­asts. If you’re afraid that cos­metic surgery will affect the open­ing of your third eye, this is a great arti­cle for you.

Although Patrick says that it may not affect your third eye and there­fore not inter­fere with your psy­chic abil­i­ties like astral pro­jec­tion, telepa­thy, and so on; using botox can be an inef­fi­cient and dan­ger­ous way of bring­ing balance.

If you are into new age, alter­na­tive ther­a­pies you should look into more alter­na­tive ther­a­pies like meditation.

I do not think that injec­tion of Botox directly inter­feres with third eye func­tion. Tech­ni­cally, a per­son who is com­pletely par­a­lyzed could have fan­tas­tic third eye func­tion and be able to demon­strate astral pro­jec­tion, telepa­thy, clair­voy­ance and many other nifty third eye skills. I do, how­ever, feel that it is a dan­ger­ous and inef­fi­cient way of bring­ing balance.

If you want to use Botox solely for cos­metic (van­ity) use, I would strongly urge you away from it. Par­a­lyz­ing the mus­cles in your fore­head to min­i­mize the look of a fur­rowed brow is not going to make you a bet­ter per­son. It is an arti­fi­cial way of improv­ing your feel­ings of self worth. I would urge you to first look at why you aren’t happy with your appearance.

Are you so wor­ried that your brow is con­stantly fur­rowed? If so, con­sider med­i­ta­tion or some herbal sup­ple­ments that will help you to han­dle the stres­sors in your life. Med­i­ta­tion is one of the most impor­tant things you can do to improve any sit­u­a­tion in your life. Med­i­ta­tion pro­vides guid­ance in every sit­u­a­tion. It helps you to observe fac­tors in your life that are out of bal­ance. Even more than that, med­i­ta­tion pro­vides inner guid­ance for how best to bring bal­ance back.

Using a poten­tially toxic sub­stance to tem­porar­ily change the way you look will not nec­es­sar­ily change the way you feel about your­self. Instead, focus on phys­i­cal health through eat­ing a diet rich in fruits and veg­eta­bles, min­i­miz­ing junk food and fast food (which do not honor the body), and engag­ing in reg­u­lar joy­ous exer­cise like dance, mar­tial arts, tai chie, chi gong, or yoga. These activ­i­ties will all reduce stress (thereby indi­rectly reduc­ing the “fur­rowed brow” look), and improve your self image in such a way that improves your entire life.

Now if you’re new to Seth, let me explain a lit­tle first.

Seth is a very wise entity that hit inter­na­tional fame when he spoke through Jane Roberts while she was in a trance.  He was the one who coined the phrase, “You cre­ate your own real­ity.” Some even say he’s the one that rocket pro­pelled the New Age move­ment. His first book was pub­lished in the late 1960s and his books have since sold over 7 mil­lion copies. Many have claimed that he can help you answer your life ques­tions and improve yourself.

So here is a tech­nique to fur­ther your astral pro­jec­tions from Seth. For those of you who have tried this tech­nique or any other tech­niques by Seth please drop us a com­ment and share your insights.

Astral Pro­jec­tion, Tech­nique 1 From A Seth Book

‘These are my instruc­tions. You may con­sider this your first les­son. We will go by easy stages, for we do not want you betwixt and between. You may induce a medium trance in what­ever way you choose. On occa­sion this will be spon­ta­neous, as you know. For best results in the begin­ning it is good to make a pro­jec­tion attempt when you already feel phys­i­cally drowsy, but pleas­antly so. When you have induced the trance state, then begin to exam­ine your own sub­jec­tive feel­ings until you find recog­ni­tion of the inner self.

This involves a recog­ni­tion of your­self as dis­tinct from the fleshy fibers in which you reside. Then begin to imag­ine this inner self ris­ing upward. You should expe­ri­ence even at this point an inter­nal sense of motion. This motion may be from side to side, as you gen­tly shake your­self loose, so to speak.

It may be a rush­ing upward. Whichever motion you expe­ri­ence there will be a moment where you feel your­self, your iden­tity and con­scious­ness, def­i­nitely with­draw­ing from the phys­i­cal organ­ism. Before you attempt the pro­jec­tion, how­ever, the sug­ges­tion should be given that the phys­i­cal organ­ism will be well pro­tected and com­fort­able. Now when you feel the con­scious­ness with­draw­ing, there are two things you may do. I sug­gest the first step I shall give you in pref­er­ence to the second.

Bored of school? Have an Out of Body Experience!

That’s the way Steve Jones got into astral pro­jec­tion. Hav­ing been sent to a mil­i­tary school, Steve got bored and started exper­i­ment­ing with hav­ing out of body expe­ri­ences. Now a pro­fes­sional hyp­no­tist, Steve explains how astral pro­jec­tion and hyp­no­tism are related.

Is Astral Pro­jec­tion Worth­while for Per­sonal Development?

Steve Pavlina, who runs the well-known blog and pub­lished author of “Per­sonal Devel­op­ment for Smart Peo­ple”, answers a sought after ques­tion — is astral pro­jec­tion worth the time and effort for self-improvement?

Steve says, “YES!” while he describes his intro­duc­tion to hav­ing out of body expe­ri­ences through his wife and the con­tin­u­ing expe­ri­ences that he has while astral projecting.

What’s there for per­sonal devel­op­ment in astral trav­el­ing?  Is it worth­while to pur­sue the astral world and neglect the phys­i­cal world?

I first learned about real astral pro­jec­tion in 1994.  Before that I only knew the phony ver­sion as depicted in movies and com­puter games.  For me astral explo­ration was a nat­ural exten­sion of lucid dream­ing, although the two expe­ri­ences are quite different.  I learned both from Erin, who’s an accom­plished lucid dreamer and astral trav­eler.  She even wrote a novel based on her astral expe­ri­ences, although it’s never been pub­lished.  I also learned about astral pro­jec­tion from a few books, one of which was Far Jour­neys by Robert Mon­roe.  If you’ve never had an astral expe­ri­ence your­self, I doubt you’d be able to believe what he’s written.

What are Astral Dreams?

Have you ever won­dered what the dif­fer­ence is between a vivid dream and astral trav­el­ing, and how you can tell the dif­fer­ence between them?

Find­ing out the dif­fer­ence is the key to hav­ing bet­ter out of body expe­ri­ences, as you don’t have to worry about whether you did it right or not. A real ben­e­fit after learn­ing the basic tech­niques of astral travel, your psy­chic abil­i­ties will begin to keep pick­ing up as you become more spir­i­tu­ally aware — even if you are the biggest sci fi skep­tic of the century!

Here’s an excerpt of an arti­cle that I found really inter­est­ing to read espe­cially for those in the begin­ners level, as it gives some tech­niques for astral pro­jec­tion begin­ners to start cre­at­ing a record of your astral pro­jec­tion expe­ri­ence successes!

Astral Travel — The Truth Will Set You Free!

When you have those dreams of flight, this is very sim­i­lar to the expe­ri­ence of astral travel. The feel­ing of being air­borne is much like the way that your astral body trav­els through the astral plane. All you need to do is focus on the place you want to or on the things which you want and your astral body is there in the blink of an eye. When your phys­i­cal body and mind are at rest, your astral body is free to roam the universe.

Although we may astral travel while we are asleep, it should not be mis­taken for dream­ing. Dream­ing is quite dif­fer­ent, since it hap­pens entirely within your brain as it goes over what has hap­pened that day, plac­ing things into con­text and allow­ing you to get past them and awake rested the next day. Your dreams may or may not be remem­bered after you awake, which is an impor­tant dif­fer­ence between astral travel and dreaming.

Is it just a dream?

When I have vivid dreams and remem­ber it the morn­ing after, I always won­der “Dreams — are they fact or fic­tion?” and “What do my dreams mean?” Have you ever been in the same shoes?

I recently found a good arti­cle writ­ten by Jaime Licauco that was pub­lished in the Phillip­ines Daily Inquirer. Jaime is an author­ity and a renowned para­psy­chol­o­gist in the Phillip­ines who is the Founder and Pres­i­dent of the Inner Mind Devel­op­ment Insti­tute which is a train­ing cen­ter for psy­chic inves­ti­ga­tion and more.

In Jaime’s arti­cle, he writes about astral pro­jec­tion and reincarnation.

What dreams tell about pre­vi­ous life

Sev­eral times after falling asleep, I could see every­one in the room, but I couldn’t move, speak or scream. I have dif­fi­culty breath­ing. It scares me because the harder I try to move or shout, the more I can’t. I just stay frozen in bed.

“As soon as I become awake, I would instantly fall back into the same state and see every­thing in the room again. I would try chang­ing my posi­tion but it doesn’t help.

“My hus­band told me after wak­ing up fully from this expe­ri­ence that I was moan­ing, but he ignored me because I looked like I was only dreaming.

“I told him in detail what he was doing for the past min­utes while he thought I was in deep sleep. He was sur­prised to hear that I was com­pletely aware of my sur­round­ings at that moment, even the tele­vi­sion show he was watch­ing and the commercials.

“Is this nor­mal? Or am I just hav­ing ban­gun­got [night­mare]?” (name with­held upon request).

There’s really noth­ing you should be wor­ried about. You’re just hav­ing spon­ta­neous astral pro­jec­tion or out-of-body expe­ri­ence (OOBE) dur­ing sleep. This is a fairly com­mon and nat­ural occur­rence. It hap­pens to a lot of peo­ple. It has hap­pened to me, too, but not as frequently.

Robert Bruce intro­duces Astral Projection

Well-known Astral Travel Author, Robert Bruce, intro­duces Astral Pro­jec­tion and the var­i­ous astral pro­jec­tion tech­niques that he has dis­cov­ered along his path to becom­ing a world­wide renowned astral projector.

One of his more inter­est­ing dis­cov­er­ies led Robert to cre­ate a fool­proof astral pro­jec­tion tech­nique after find­ing out that a bunch of blind peo­ple were able to have spon­ta­neous out of body expe­ri­ences through just a sim­ple touch.
