The term “astral projection” is used to describe a paranormal phenomenon in which a person’s consciousness leaves their physical body and travels outside independent of it. This experience is also called out of body experience (OOBE) as consciousness or mind or soul or astral body or whatever you want to call it leaves the body. Since people on the verge of death sometimes have an OOBE, the phenomenon of consciousness leaving the physical body is also called a near-death experience (NDE).
Hundreds and thousands of people claim to have experienced an astral projection or out of body experience (OOBE) or NDE. Real-life accounts of OOBE have been published in various astral travel books in the 1960s and 1970s. However, there is no scientific evidence to prove that astral travel is real. We only have the recorded experiences of people who claim to have had an OOBE.
The idea of consciousness leaving the physical body, however, is not new. The ancients knew exactly what astral projection is, perhaps more than we do now. Classical, medieval, Renaissance, Theosophical and Rosicrucian philosophies spoke of the astral body as a link between the soul and the physical body. The ancient Egyptians spoke of the ability of the soul to leave the physical body in a subtle body, which they referred to as “ka”. The Egyptians also mentioned the silver cord, which links the astral body with the physical body throughout the life of an individual and breaks only at death. The Chinese and the Indians also knew about astral travel and wrote it down in their texts.
However, if you ask scientists and rationalists what astral projection is, they may tell you that it is a “figment of the imagination,” “a trick of the overly imaginative mind,” a “hallucination,” or “something wrong.” It can not be”. seriously” because there is “no evidence” for it. Neuroscientists believe that an OOBE occurs when the brain confuses visual and tactile input.
Exactly what astral travel is cannot be said for sure because no two astral experiences are the same. Once out of their bodies, people find themselves in different domains. They can be found in populated or lonely places. They can travel the earth or roam the astral realms. Some of them can even access the Akashic Records.
How do people have OOBE? Most of the time, it happens spontaneously. In some, OOBE occurs in extreme situations like tragic accidents or mental trauma. Drug and alcohol abuse can also lead to astral projection. Recently, a technological development called binaural beats claims to give you an OOBE in no time.
You can also have an OOBE. You’ll know exactly what AP is when you actually experience one. There are countless techniques for people who wish to have the experience. Some commonly used techniques are relaxation, meditation, visualization, etc. Adopt the one that best suits you and experience it for yourself. Only then will you know what astral projection is.
