AstrAl projection is nAturAl, not scAry
There are times when the astral body leaves our physical body during sleep
i have written a number of articles about astral projection over the past four decades. yet, there are still so many people who do not know what it is and get scared when it happens to them.
astral projection is also known as out-of-body-experience. Western science knows nothing about it and considers its existence to be illusory or mere fantasy. But Eastern mystics and masters of esoteric sciences have known this for thousands of years.
in this series of articles, i shall explain what astral projection is, sleep paralysis, the astral cord, and astral sex.
The astral body is only one of the seven bodies (or energies) that composes or makes up a human being according to Eastern mystics. The densest is the physical body, and the subtlest is the spirit body or monad. The subtle bodies that compose man are not the same as the chakras or vortices of energy which are in the physical body.
There are times when the astral body leaves our physical body during sleep. one gets the feeling of floating on top of his physical body. and when he sees his physical body lying asleep on the bed, he panics thinking he might be dead.
He then struggles to get back to his physical body and finds he could not move. The more he tries to get back to his body, the more difficult it becomes. astral projection is a natural process or phenomenon. There is nothing dangerous in it provided you do not panic. if this happens to you, stay calm and do not struggle to get back to your body. if you calm down, you will shortly and easily get back to your physical body.
The reason we cannot move is because our astral body is outside the physical body. it is like trying to drive or move your car while you are out of the car. you cannot do it.
i believe that when one dreams he is flying in his sleep, he is not merely dreaming it, he is actually flying in his astral body.
astral projection can happen to anybody. it is not an aberration or sickness. it is not the same as what medical doctors call “sleep paralysis.” although the symptoms may be the same, that is, you cannot move your physical body.
Sleep paralysis is a medical condition and is defined technically as follows: “it happens when you cannot move your muscles as you are waking up or falling asleep. This is because you are in a sleep
mode, but your brain is active. it is not clear why sleep paralysis happens but it has been linked with insomnia.” your mind is awake but your body is still asleep.
Western medical science knows nothing about the astral body, nor about the seven subtle bodies that compose the human body. That is why it cannot explain what really happens when the astral body goes out.
and when the person says he feels like floating and can see his physical body asleep on the bed, modern doctors simply conclude this as a form of hallucination.
Eastern mystics, psychics and yogis have a very clear explanation for such a phenomenon.
