Hi. I have been Astral Travelling & a vivid dreamer for many years now. I can still recall every detail the next morning, & I travel to lands far away spend a lot of time flying & meeting lots of new faces. My question is why do I feel so exhausted when I wake up? I am also a Spiritual Healer, & I feel my Guides & Angels require me for healing each night. I would like to communicate with them on a higher level, also to know how to bring myself back in the morning, as I feel a bit disconnected.
Thanks! M.
Dear M,
Fatigue after astral travel can indicate we are not mentally prepared for all we encounter. Our body may take a while to reground in the physical plane when we get deeply engaged in the astral. Moodiness or daydreams arise as a distraction. As we shift to be less 'in ego' in waking life, we are less taken with the novelty of each trip. Increasing self-awareness makes us less vulnerable to negative entities in astral. Explore daytime relaxation exercises like mantras and visualisation.
As we expand consciousness, we may be drawn to specific beings or guides to assist in the astral. The nature of our communication is based on how open the heart is. Exploring the astral enables us to explore the psyche. The more we raise self-awareness in waking life and through dreams, gain insight into our emotions and personality, the more profound and in-depth our astral experiences become. What we manifest and ways we respond shapes our spiritual evolution.
Each of us progresses in astral at our own pace. When out of the astral, the ego may think about how long in 'human time' we sense we have been astral, yet this doesn't affect our progress. Things like your level of consciousness during astral, ability to focus, dedication, discipline, daytime mindsets and pursuits all affect your astral experiences.
