Astral Projecting - Is It Really Real?
January 12, 2011The term astral projecting refers to the projection of a person’s inner self, or in other words his spirit, astral body, soul, aura, or whatever term you refer it with, from that of his physical body to traverse a path towards higher ethereal realms.
The journey of your free spirit outside your physical body is something incomparable. It gives one the opportunity to observe himself and the world from a higher level of consciousness thereby developing the overall spiritual intent of his being, making him clearer on his true potential and the various aspects of life, death and reality.
The history of astral projecting can be traced back to the ancient times and across all ancient civilization, religions and cultures. It was believed in and practiced by spiritual travelers from Egypt to China and finds mention in the ancient Hindu Upanishads to the comparatively modern bible.
If we talk about Egypt, it is seen that they practiced preservation of their bodies after death so that they can travel to the next world along with its ‘ka’. This ‘ka’ is the supreme energy force, or the immortal and omnipotent soul of a being which had the capability of traveling outside its physical bondage.
Astral projecting is an art that also features in the ancient manuscripts of the Hindus, a religion that is known to be one of the oldest and spiritually advanced. Hinduism in countries like India, has always been about the immortality and omnipotence of the soul that has the freedom of traveling anywhere or doing whatever it wants to, if one can achieve that required level of mind power so as to be able to come out the bondage of the physical body. Numerous scriptures and writings of spiritual men pave the way for how astral projecting is to be mastered and their own experiences thereof.
Traveling more eastwards till China, we see that astral projecting used to be done here through alchemical practices of creating an energy body through breathing meditation. Thus, the Chinese involved themselves in specialized breathing techniques so as to draw in energy into a small pearl which was then circulated to form this body of energy that separated from the physical body and traveled to higher astral planes.
The topic of astral projecting in the light of the western philosophies, starting from the classical philosophies through the renaissance thoughts till the more modern theosophical beliefs consists of the concept of astral body as being the link between the soul and the physical body, the astral plane being the platform between Earth and heaven. In the bible also, astral projecting finds its mention where the popular belief is that the physical body and the astral body is linked with an illuminated silver energy cord similar to that of the umbilical cord. So when a person leaves his physical body and ventures out, he is still connected to it providing a sense of security.
Thus, it can be concluded that astral projecting as a belief and practice has its roots in ancient history across countries, religion and cultures. Moreover, it is an inherent ability in each man which is not harnessed by most. Regular meditation to increase your awareness of your inner self and gaining control over your sub conscious is the base for the one in a lifetime experience of astral projecting.
