How to Do Astral Travel

by Sarah Delamere Hurding

What exactly is astral travel? Astral travel is a launch into worlds on the ethers. It is considered a nonphysical experience since the physical body does not go anywhere. To be successful, it is important to lose the consciousness of being in a body. Therefore, the best success with astral traveling occurs either when we are asleep or in a meditative, alternative state of consciousness.

 
Prepare to Astral Travel

If you are awake and want to practice getting into this deeply relaxed state, find a place where you know you will be completely undisturbed. Lie down comfortably on the floor or bed with your arms placed loosely beside your body. Relax as much you can by sinking your body deeply into the surface you are using. Blend your energy with the floor or the bed and calm your mind.

Focus on your thumbs in particular and keep these perfectly still. Focus on their shape, weight, and size as well as the flesh and the bone and BE inside your thumbs. This may sound odd, but it is designed to focus your energy in one, very specific limited place. You may well find your thoughts flying off in all directions. Each time this happens, bring yourself back inside your thumbs. When your energy is fully focused on your thumbs, start to move your attention to the different fingers on your hands. In the same way, move into your forefingers; then to the middle fingers, ring fingers, and finally, the pinkies. Move through each set in turn, making sure your attention is fully present in each one as you proceed. You will quickly get the hang of this.

Once you have conquered the hands in this way, your attention must then begin to move around the body in the same way. Each stage with this exercise takes you deeper and deeper into a meditative state, so that you will be able to begin your travels. Work from your hands to your forearms, your upper arms, to your shoulders, then down the sides of your body.
