Astral Travel Explained
Have you ever had a dream you were flying high above the trees? Have you ever been in such an intense daydream that you thought you were rising out of your body, then up through the ceiling of your house, only to be suddenly jolted awake? You’ve reached a state called astral travel, where you can travel outside of your body to anywhere you want to go. It is your mind having fun while your body sleeps!
Astral travel is commonly confused with dreaming. However, it is the case that most dreams are just our subconscious mind processing the events of our day. While we sleep, our minds are at work trying to puzzle out some things which it could not resolve while you were awake. This is a natural and helpful process. Most of these dreams we don’t remember at all – if we do so, it is usually just in small fragments, half remembered for a short time after waking.
However, those dreams that we wake up from, remembering every detail vividly are actually experiences of astral projection! You should keep a notepad and paper by your bed in order to be able to keep a dream journal of these dreams. As soon as you wake, write down everything which you can remember of the experience. At first, you may not be able to make a lot of sense of what you write down; just keep taking your notes, it will all come together later on.
Similar to the dreams that allow you to work out the problems and frustrations of the day, so astral travel has some benefits as well. The benefits will be unique to you, as they are to each person who experiences astral projection, and that is why it is so important that you write them down.
In general, the benefits of astral travel include a better sense of your spirituality and your connection to the rest of the universe. This will lead to a greater sense of well being and a feeling of inner peace. Astral travel can also improve your memory and boost your level of creativity. Astral travel has this benefits because it uses a part of the brain which does not get a lot of stimulation while we are awake.
