The Dangers of Astral Projection

Have you ever wondered what the dangers are of Astral Projection?

There's been a lot of discussion over the benefits of astral projection but we've never really discussed the possible dangers. I found this article that discusses some of the dangers associated with out-of-body experiences which covers some interesting issues such as demon sex and dying while astral projecting.

The Dangers of Astral Projection

December 15th, 2006 by Erin Pavlina

Some people have written to me wanting to know about the dangers of astral projection. Since I have only covered the benefits of learning astral projection I thought it would be fair to discuss some of the risks.

Q. Can you physically die while astral projecting?

A. While you are out of your body, your body is as susceptible to death as it normally would be. Someone could come in to your room and stab or choke you to death or even shoot you. In fact, if your consciousness was outside your body you may not even hear them come in. What you are probably wondering, however, is if some entity on the astral plane can attack and kill your astral body, thus causing the death of your physical body, right?

If this has happened to anyone, we would not know since they would not be alive to tell us. I personally believe it is possible, but highly unlikely that you will die while astral. I believe there are beings out there powerful enough and strong enough to sever your silver cord while you’re astral, but I think the actual chance of this happening is really small. Your silver cord is the tether that keeps your astral and physical bodies attached while you’re incarnated.

Now, if someone kills your physical body while you’re astral, you’ll just move on like you normally would if you were inside your body when it died."
