Astral projection methods vary, but all methods start with relaxation. You need that quiet mind so that you can get focused and relaxed. This quiet state will help you to get ready for going beyond your physical self and into the mindset you need to be in to begin exploring the universe around you.

A relaxed state that is also focused is not something easy to get into. Relaxing every muscle while keeping the mind alert and focused in a must for astral projection. Many people fail at astral projection because the end up asleep due to the fact that they cannot get into a deep relaxed state without also relaxing their mind.

To start getting into the necessary relaxed state you need to start the astral projection methods, you should prepare by dressing in loose clothing. Sit is a place where you won’t be distracted or disturbed. You should avoid laying down as a beginner since it is too easy to become too relaxed in that position and fall asleep.

Once seated comfortably, imagine that tension is a fabric bandage that has been wrapped over every inch of the body — much like a mummy - that tightly constricts even the smallest of toes. Next, imagine those small toes being unwrapped. Warm blood flow returns, as does the feeling of cool air to the skin’s surface. Imagine the same process for each individual toe until all ten toes have been “freed.”

Imagine next the balls of the feet, the arches, the heels and the ankles also being unwrapped in this way. Continue the process until the chin, the sinus cavities of the face, and the tip of the scalp are all free.

Now with you body relaxed and your mind still alert you are ready. You can move on to trying one of the methods of astral projection.

A main astral projection method is referred to as the rope method. Before you start the relaxation phase you will tack a rope to the ceiling above you. It should be easy to touch with your eyes closed. This helps you with visualization.

Once this is accomplished, an individual will have an easier time “finding” the rope with his or her astral fingertips, which will float through the physical skin in pursuit of the rope once an individual is sufficiently relaxed. This process of finding the rope may be difficult at first, but with time and patience it will happen. Stay focused.

After finding the rope, concentrate on pulling the astral self up and out of the physical body as if climbing up the length of rope. Imagine the process without regard for weight, as the astral body is weightless and can climb effortlessly. A sense of dizziness may occur at this point, but it’s important to ignore this feeling, otherwise one may jeopardize the projection attempt.

Keep on moving up the rope until your astral body is completely free of your physical body. Ignore everything you may feel like dizziness, heaviness or warmth. Things like that are normal. In fact, these sensations are just a natural part of astral projection.

Variations of the rope method include the lift method, in which one visualizes him or herself pulling upward from the physical body and hovering above it; the roll out method, in which an individual envisions him or herself rolling to either side of the physical body (works best when lying down), as well as the fixed and moving anchor method.

In the former, one visualizes a stationary object toward which one then tries to pull oneself, while with the latter, one visualizes feeling the magnetic pull of the object, and thus exits the physical body. Once separated in this way, an individual’s astral body is free to explore all of time and space.

It is important to know that astral projection methods are not immediate. You must learn and practice the process. You may fail in your first attempts, but always keep your attitude positive. Make sure that you understand why you fail if you do. You can often be too tired, not focused enough or distracted.

The more dedicated the individual, however, the sooner he or she will be able to troubleshoot these issues, master the methods of astral projection, and ultimately, transcend the limitations of the physical body.
