10 Tips to Facilitate Astral Travel
Many people are keen to learn more about astral travel. A new series of online classes related to astral, lucid & OBE travel is offered in September. In the meantime, consider 10 tips to prepare for astral travel:
1. Believe in yourself
Every human being can astral project, or to have an out-of-body experience (OBE). One does not have to master energy, be righteous, live into a cave or a mountain, or follow a specific diet. You simply require genuine interest, and discipline. Believing in yourself frees your energetic space of interference. Being optimistic and confident comes through in the power of intention.
2. Accept the non-physical
We are not alone. There are very well-intentioned beings who support our growth and progress. Some call them spirit guides, spirit helpers, angels, masters, energetic mentors. They offer guidance and wisdom. We can ask for help even when to leave the body. Rest assured, they resonate wisdom, perspective and high integrity. Accepting they exist is a step toward allowing ourselves to grow spiritually, motivates us to go further.
3. Relax the mind
To astral project, the monkey mind must be subdued. Our thoughts must be cleared out enough to focus. A busy mind interferes with the process of feeling lighter, keeps us very grounded to this dimension. If there is doubt, fear, hesitation, this will prevent us from relaxing. Deep breathing, and different breathwork are strategies which can help reduce distracting thoughts.
4. Control emotions
We are complex emotional beings. Still, how we respond to the external affects our ability to focus and project. To have an OBE, emotions must be balanced. While projected, if we get startled, or too emotional, this will interrupt our experience. We simply return to the body. The thought we hold is our path and destination. Notice how you typically manage emotions. Are you easily angered? Often depressed or fearful? Ecstatic for small things? Feel mostly emotionally- balanced or on edge? Our emotional state directly effects our energy.
5. Be aware of your energy
All living beings have an energetic component and it plays a key role in our ability to astral project. This system must also have a certain balance before we can go beyond our physical body. Our emotions affect our energetic condition. If we constantly know highs and lows, our energies reflect this. Our daily mental state and psyche affect this system, as well as interactions with people, places, ideas, thoughts and intentions. By being mindful of our energetic interactions, mental and emotional states, we can find balance.
6. Be More Fearless
This may be easier said than done. People are taught to fear the unknown. There is a fear of not coming back or someone else taking over our body while projected. Research shows that leaving the physical body is as safe as going to sleep every night. In fact, our astral body (the one used when projecting) naturally disengages from the physical body whenever we fall asleep. In essence, we can say that we project every night, though for many, this is not a conscious experience! We leave it each night and come back to it naturally. This invites you to set fear aside. No fear means we can relax further and reach the desired energetic states to project.
7. Have Ethics
This is a subtle point. Yet, our thoughts/intentions can be like fine threads which weave a powerful net strong enough to evoke and ultimately attract the vibes of our thoughts. If someone is trying to induce an astral projection but they are overtaken with fear and hesitation, they will ultimately end up evoking that same type of energy. The same will happen if the person wants to project and has ill-will or not the best intentions in mind. On the other hand, if the person is confident and has a healthy, ethical intention or mere curiosity, thoughts are neutral, the results will be positive.
8. Welcome the unknown
Many hesitate attempting an OBE fearing they may encounter ill-intentioned beings while projected. The best way to address this concern is to think of the type of beings currently in this dimension. Are we all good? All bad? All well intentioned? In truth, varied beings exist. The same goes for the non-physical beings in other dimensions. Beings in non-physical dimensions are diverse. As we project, our internal core will naturally gravitate toward spaces and beings that resonate. So, the nature of our internal ethical intentions, will organically determine where we can travel and what we encounter. Nothing is left to chance, however, once we gain more awareness, we will have more control as to where we go and who we interact with.
9. Establish a goal
Whenever attempting to leave the body it is highly recommended to have a goal. What do you want to do while in an astral projection? Who do you want to see? Where do you want to go? What do you want to experience? A clear vision sets energetic wheels in motion. If you have many ideas, stick to one at a time. The goals set should also be genuine. Be sure to create a short phrase in mindl. Write it down, keep it visible or close to you when trying out a technique. Feel the way into it.
10. Be aware of your energy environment
Wherever you aim to project, the room’s energetic environment exerts influence on the process. Our psyche, thoughts, emotional states, and material objects, generate an energetic imprint in these spaces. Be vigilant of your state of mind. Aim to be neutral/balanced. Evaluate objects in your midst. Sometimes certain items evoke unwanted presences or energies. Decluttering can have an uplifting effect. Clutter stagnates natural energy flow. Natural light enhances the space. We want our space to be clean both physically and energetically, so we feel relaxed and confident to go beyond the body.
Captivated by the unknown
Notice in this moment, we never really know what we are in for. Human existence is meant to be challenging. The world can be a perilous place-full of sinkholes, tidal waves, the perfect storms. Yet, existence is also idyllic, beautiful, full of miracles, from the aurora borealis to sunrises and sunsets that take our breath away and bring it back. Its through riding the waves of turmoil, the unexpected highs and lows, the picking ourselves up off the floor or surfacing from the deepest chasm that stretches us, lead us to gasp in amazement. Its when things do not go to plan, when emotions overwhelm, when all seems lost, that our true character and path are revealed. There is bravery in admitting "I am not okay, that I struggle." Accepting this is about loving ourselves and deepening resilience. We can be tough, stoic, and still admit we do not know. Moment-by-moment, we each live a dream, whether we dangle freely, balance with grace or by the skin of our teeth. We hold on not simply for a thrill. We trust who we are, where all this is heading.
Focus on the Intuitive Vision

Notice that every vision holds power. To harness the power of our unique Soul vision requires unveiling, conscious focus, breathing life into it for all to see our trust, surrender and inner knowing in action. We are each worldbridgers, bridges between worlds (realities) we do not want and those of our dreams and beyond. Big shifts happen as we master ourselves and naturally activate our hidden abilities.
The Truth is in Plain Sight
Notice the subtle consciousness has many layers to it. Spirit has many layers. As you get rid of all the baggage in your life, from decluttering things to letting go of what else you outgrow, it dawns who you are and why you exist beyond that. We all came from the same Source energy that holds everything together. During dreams, meditation, spiritual practices or while under hypnosis, pure radiance may feel like the Sun, but its not hot. Radiance is simply total love, bliss. Our concept of God, the Divine or words cannot express even a tiny thread of the totality. Soul is simply a tiny spark of light growing in awareness. A room or situation only exists because we collectively decide it does. Everything is an illusion. We are the producer, actor, director and scriptwriter of a holographic reality. As we go along, we are student and evolving light of ever-present awareness. Our script of reality is revised energetically by us. Our thought and feeling energy determines every moment of our lives, our perception and role in the story we tell ourselves. Our true power is unlimited. We are our own witness, judge, jury. We create experiences to deepen understanding and awaken to what we already feel in the heart. We are unknowingly attracted to certain forms of art or identify with certain shapes more than others. They “resonate” with us in different ways, because these shapes have a certain effect on our unconscious minds and the pace of awakening to deeper Truths. They guide travel through dimensions and evoke visceral feelings to find ourselves. We decide what we exist to learn. We choose parents, environment, the best situations to allow us to uncover the wider Truth. As you move through and discard adopted roles, labels, situations, you may feel like an antenna or receiver that exists to decode/ generate/ share incoming energy to other people in this world. Open channels are like stones that skip across pure water. They reverberrate energy in their midst. The shift from belief (in doing) to knowing and awareness (of being) is key to reclaiming innate power and freedom. If you cannot handle the growing intensity of incoming energy (translated into layers of illusions surfacing to burn away), Soul chooses to leave this world. Amidst apparent global changes, the same power of mind that creates fear and anxiety about the future also grounds you in this moment. Fear is nothing and only determines what you unconsciously allow. Fear of existence, fear of losing, fear of not being enough, any fear can control you if you allow it. How to transcend it? Fighting against it simply creates more conflict and can evoke suffering. Moving through pereived life challenges enables you to conquer fear. Rising up expands your perspective. You begin to see people around you fear nothing, create desperation in the mind and then manifest based on this vibration. The same powerful mind can be shifted into conscious creation. The sound of silence is playing right now. Tune into that and the bigger picture. Wholesness is not something to work toward or achieve. Pure presence is always here. Beyond self-image, one is limitless. The Truth is Self-evident (In plain sight).
