How to Reach the Vibrational State of Astral Projection

It sounds impossible, the process of astral projection, which entails leaving the body. But people do this, in a sense, every night, as their conscious mind recedes and allows the subconscious mind to take over and dream. The key difference in astral projection is that a person stays in control of the process by remaining in a state of deep meditation, partially induced by entering what is known as the vibrational state. The vibrational state proves challenging to many practitioners of astral projection, but there are a few guidelines that can improve your ability to enter it and control it for the best possible outcome.

• 1

  Find an appropriate space for astral projection. Because the vibrational state is achieved later in the process of astral projection, it is essential that the room be free of potential disruptions, including bright light.

• 2

  Achieve deep relaxation, be it by deep breathing, meditation, yoga or chanting mantras. Your goal is to approach the state of sleep without entering it. This balance, known as the hypnagogic state, requires maintaining focus and control. Keep your mind clear of distractions and meditate on the darkness. Eventually, you should cease to feel the boundary between your body and the space around it. Your only consciousness should be in your thoughts.

• 3

  Do a mental scan of your extremities and muscles. To enter the vibrational state, you should feel some form of energy flowing through them, in the form of a warm or tingling sensation. If you are not feeling this sensation, there are several strategies that can help induce it. Lay down on a north-south axis with your head facing north. Make sure you are comfortable and warm. Set a goal, prior to the session, that you will recall the process in its entirety. Focus on different points of the room, drawing lines of energy between your body and the areas. Visualize pulling energy from these areas toward your body.

  Develop methods of controlling the vibrational state. Once you feel energy pushing through your body, you can steer it to your various muscles and extremities. You can create surges of power throughout your body.

• 5

  Extend the vibrational state. One of the challenges in astral projection is that, once you enter the vibrational state, you panic or become distracted and lose the sensation. You can build your stamina for the vibrational state by honing your focus. Practice staying fully present while doing a daily task. Rehearse the process of shifting between waking and sleeping, shifting and retreating, so that the transition feels smooth. Tell yourself that you are in control of your body and its processes.
