Astral Travel - The Truth Will Set You Free!

By Joe M Burns

Think back to the last time you had one of those dreams where you're flying and you'll be able to get a sense of what astral travel is like. When your astral body is exploring, this is how it makes its way around. It's like flying, but you can be anywhere you want to be instantly; all you have to do is to focus on it. While your physical body and your mind are at rest, your astral body is free to set off and allow you to experience astral travel.

Although we may astral travel while we are asleep, it should not be mistaken for dreaming. Dreaming is quite different, since it happens entirely within your brain as it goes over what has happened that day, placing things into context and allowing you to get past them and awake rested the next day. Your dreams may or may not be remembered after you awake, which is an important difference between astral travel and dreaming.

Those times when you awake and can remember in perfect detail everything from your dream, this probably wasn't a dream at all, but your memory of astral travel! It's a good idea to start keeping a journal to document these experiences. Not all of them are going to make sense at first, but like a sculptor chipping away at a block of marble, they will take shape and tell you something eventually.

Just as dreams allow your mind to process your day, astral travel refreshes the spirit. The experiences you have and the benefits you'll see as a result of astral travel are unique to you. This makes keeping an astral travel journal a good idea, since comparing your results to those of someone else is of little value.

One of the benefits of astral travel common to everyone who practices this ability is an increased sense of self awareness and a better idea of where you fit into the rest of the universe. This helps you have inner peace and enhances your sense of well being. Memory and general mental acuity are also commonly improved by astral travel due to normally unused parts of your mind being accessed as you astral project.

After learning to astral travel, other latent psychic abilities will begin to awaken and be strengthened. Most people report having an increased awareness of others thoughts and an easier time sensing spiritual presences.

When you astral project, you don't just get to visit places and see things which you couldn't with your physical body. You also develop your mind and your psychic abilities and learn more about yourself.

There are many who had once been skeptical about astral travel; but once experiencing it for themselves, they have a different take on things. The way that astral travel expands your view of the universe and increases many of your natural abilities is simply impossible to ignore.

The psychic and mental benefits entirely aside, there is a recreational element to astral travel as well. It's undeniably fun to be able to leave your body and see new sights.

Really, it's amazing that everyone doesn't use astral travel. However, most people mistakenly believe that this is an ability which can be used only by a very lucky few. In fact, the opposite is true: anyone can astral travel; it's only a question of making the choice to develop this natural ability.

You have almost certainly had the experience of astral projection before, although it is possible you were unaware that this is what you were doing.

You should begin by simply allowing yourself to naturally have astral travel and writing down your experiences. After doing this for a while, you'll be able to begin trying to make astral travel happen consciously. It takes practice, but the benefits of learning to do so, as well as the experience itself are a great reward for your efforts.

We can all learn to astral travel; it's simply a matter of practice and training yourself for the experiences. You can find a wealth of good resources which can help you to prepare yourself for astral travel. Keep at your practice and you can achieve the inner peace which comes from being able to travel outside of; and within yourself. - 31856
