Astral Travel Techniques: Preparation Steps
Now you simply have to focus on your breathing and relax. Here is an example of a breathing technique you can use. These astral travel techniques will
work if you practice regularly. It should take you about 5 minutes to complete this section, so don't rush it. Lie down on your bed in a comfortable
position without crossing your arms or legs. You will have to stay in this position for an extended period of time, so make sure it's very
comfortable.
I recommend lying on your back with legs slightly open, and your arms parallel to your body, but not touching. Place your palms in a comfortable
position. Palms up works best for me.
Close your eyes and breathe in. As you exhale, focus on the movement of your chest. Enjoy it. Take your time. Feel what happens to your chest when you
breathe in. Feel the expansion.
Now focus on your stomach as you exhale, and feel the effects of your breath. With every breath, try to see how each part of your body reacts. When
you reach your toes, take a few deep breaths before moving on to the muscle relaxation technique.
So you've completed the breathing relaxation, now it's time to relax your muscles but you still need to focus on your breath as you relax your
muscles. This section is an important part of these astral travel techniques and it should take another 5 minutes.
Breathe in and contract all the muscles in your feet. Breathe out and relax. Breathe in and out again, ensuring all your muscles are relaxed. Now move
up to your ankles. Breathe in and flex your ankles. Feel the tension, then breathe out and relax.
Take a couple of breaths and move up to the calves. Continue with your legs, bum, stomach, arms, fingers, neck and last but not least: your face.
Everyone carries tension on their face without even knowing it. Make sure that you let your eyebrows and jaw relax.
It's now time for the tricky part of these astral travel techniques. This is normally when I fall asleep... You should try to remember that the goal
is to trick your body into thinking that you are falling asleep while keeping your mind awake. The best way to create this illusion is to maintain
focus on your breathing while imagining your body getting heavier and heavier with every breath. Your goal is to sink into a state of total
emptiness.
imagine myself at the top of a very long ladder. With every breath I take, I picture myself going down one rung, and my body getting a little heavier.
After a few rungs, I always feel the urge to move my body, but I have to resist. Whether you feel itchy or uncomfortable, the feeling will go away if
you keep focusing on your breath.
