Techniques To Face Astral Travel Difficulties

iStock_000006665449Large I've been out of the astral loop for a couple years, but I had a large amount of success over the course of about four years before this. Since then my focus has shifted and I haven't come back around to OBE efforts. However, my successes are notable, as I had the most trouble of anyone I've ever known in getting out of body.

First, here's some things to understand/expect:

1) Fear/Panic - It's entirely possible that the first time you actually succeed, you will panic. It's completely natural and many people do. It's a very bizarre feeling (especially if you use a fully conscious projection) and can cause you that split second of panic that causes you to lose it. Solution: Reaffirm your desire to yourself and keep trying. After a time or three, this panic reflex goes away...

2) Other Fears - A lot of people have a lot of different beliefs, and these beliefs form the way that they experience their astral travel. The basic fact of the matter is that everything in the universe is one thing, one energy, and all division is merely illusion. When you project, you are not "leaving your body" really because in fact physical reality (space as well as time) do not exist - they only appear to. So not understanding the fact that you are merely altering your consciousness, many of not most people perceive of astral travel as "going somewhere". For this purpose, most people feel the need to create some form of "protection". They may have guides, angels, their higher self, astral friends, whatever you want, who help them. Many also perceive a silver cord, because it causes them to intrinsically realize that they are safe and still connected to themselves, when in fact it is impossible to be otherwise. (There is no real cord, as there is no real separation, just a shift in consciousness... actually, this is kinda hard to write in words) - take any view on it that makes you comfortable, but the bottom line is you are safe when projecting, there is no need to fear that anything can "get you", "take over your body", or that you can "get lost and not find your way back". Anyone who has vehemently argued to that effect has basically believed it into existence for themselves astrally. It was them that caused it, not something malevolent.
