How to Astral Project: A Step-by-Step Guide for Beginners

Astral projection is one of the most fascinating and transformative practices you can undertake on your spiritual journey. Whether you're looking to explore other realms, gain clarity about your life’s purpose, or experience new dimensions, astral projection can open doors to a deeper understanding of reality.

In this step-by-step guide, we’ll walk you through the basics of astral projection, explain the techniques you need to master, and help you get started on your own astral journey. Let’s dive in!

What is Astral Projection?

Astral projection, often called "out-of-body experience" (OBE), is the practice of consciously separating, not your soul, but your astral body (one of multiple bodies of existence) from your physical body and traveling through the astral plane. This can allow you to explore other dimensions, realms, and planes of existence. It's a natural phenomenon, and with practice, anyone can learn how to astral project, because in fact, our astral bodies leave our physical bodies every night; it just doesn’t happen consciously. Astral projection changes taht.

While you’re astral projecting, your physical body remains in a state of relaxation, and your astral body journeys through the unseen world. Many people use astral projection techniques to gain deeper insight, resolve personal issues, or simply for spiritual exploration.

Step-by-Step Guide to Astral Projection for Beginners

Step 1: Set the Intention

Before starting your astral journey, it's important to set a clear intention for your experience. Are you looking to explore a particular location? Meet a spiritual guide? Seek clarity on a life question? Setting an intention helps to guide your astral travel and gives you purpose while you’re in the astral plane.

You can set your intention by saying to yourself, “I am going to astral project to connect with my higher self” or “I intend to explore a sacred space during my astral journey.”

Step 2: Find a Quiet and Comfortable Space

To begin, find a peaceful, quiet environment free from distractions. This is essential to allow your mind and body to relax fully. Choose a spot where you can lie down comfortably, whether it's your bed, a yoga mat, or a comfortable chair.

Turn off any electronics, close the curtains if needed, and create a space where you feel calm and at ease.

Step 3: Relax Your Body and Mind

The key to astral projection is deep relaxation. You need to reach a state of calmness in both your body and mind. Begin by taking slow, deep breaths to help your body relax. Focus on each breath and consciously release any tension as you breathe in and out.

Progressively relax each part of your body, starting from your toes and working your way up to your head. As you do this, visualize each body part becoming lighter and lighter. This will prepare your physical body for the separation process.

Step 4: Enter a Hypnagogic State

Once your body is fully relaxed, you’ll enter what’s called the hypnagogic state—a trance-like state between wakefulness and sleep. In this state, your mind becomes highly receptive, and you’ll be on the verge of astral projection.

To enter this state, keep your focus inward and allow any thoughts or images that arise to flow without resistance. You might begin to see vivid colors, patterns, or even feel a sensation of floating. These are signs you’re entering the astral plane.

Step 5: Use the Rope Technique or Roll-Out Technique

Now that you’re deeply relaxed and in the right state, it’s time to use an astral projection technique. There are many methods, but a common ones is the rope technique.

  • Rope Technique: Imagine a rope hanging above you. In your mind’s eye, reach out and begin pulling yourself up with the rope. Feel your astral body begin to separate from your physical body as you climb higher. This technique works well because it gives your mind a specific task to focus on, which makes it easier to leave your body.

Step 6: Explore the Astral Plane

Once you’ve successfully separated from your physical body, you’ll enter the astral plane. This is the moment where your astral projection journey begins!

You may encounter different landscapes, entities, or realms. It’s important to stay calm and relaxed, as fear or doubt can snap you back to your physical body. Trust the experience and let your intuition guide you.

Some first-time travelers recommend focusing on a specific destination or goal to guide their astral journey. For example, you might decide to visit a spiritual location or meet a guide who can offer insights.

Step 7: Returning to Your Body

When you feel ready to return to your physical body, simply focus on your physical self. You might feel a pulling sensation or an urge to float back into your body. Don’t be alarmed if it feels like it takes some time to reconnect—this is a normal part of the process.

To help return to your body, visualize your astral self floating gently back and re-entering your physical form. You can also try wiggling your fingers or toes to anchor yourself back into your physical body.

What to Expect After Your Astral Projection Experience

After your astral projection, take some time to ground yourself. Drink some water, stretch, and reflect on your experience. You may feel energized, enlightened, or even physically lighter after traveling in the astral plane.

Journaling about your experience can also help you integrate the insights you gained during your astral journey.

Conclusion

Astral projection is an incredible practice that can offer profound insights into your life and help you grow spiritually. With consistent practice and patience, you’ll be able to master this technique and embark on your own astral journeys. Remember, the more relaxed and focused you are, the more successful your astral projections will be.

Arcturus Astral Projection

Dear friend,

My name is Arcturus (Previously known as Kensho.) During my teenage years, I stumbled upon the extraordinary world of ASTRAL PROJECTION. This discovery transformed my life, and now I’m dedicated to helping others achieve similar expansions in consciousness and overall life satisfaction. Dive into my journey and learn how you can embark on your own —watch my interview in the video below..

“Through astral projection I’ve traveled through space, visited the hollow Earth, seen past lives with such realism and lucidity, visited dead relatives, explored ethereal temples and kingdoms, healed myself and other from disease, met real people whom I later met in the physical world, and obtained knowledge from masters, sacred entities and extraterrestrials. Astral projection showed me a world of new possibilities, allowing me to leave behind an enslaving 9-5 job and start living a life outside of the Matrix, as chronicled in my books” - Arcturus

Ancient Occult Knowledge Made Available to You

The origins of the knowledge of Astral Projection is very ancient, lost in the night of the centuries, but it was hidden to the majority of people. Only a selected group known as “The Initiates” was given access to it in the secret schools of mysteries. With the arrival of the industrial revolution, more modern schools of mysteries appeared, sharing some of the secret knowledge to the public through societies which, though no longer occult, were still difficult to access.

Names such as Helena Blavatsky from the Theosophical Society and Rudolf Steiner creator of the Anthroposophical Society were among the first who started writing about the secret knowledge. They were channeling this information from the Astral Plane, a superior plane of existence we can all access through Astral Projection.

In America, Edgar Caye, “The Sleeping Prophet” gave thousands of readings to help people overcome their psychological, emotional, and health problems by observing their past lives. He achieved this by laying on a couch, astral projecting, and accessing The Akashic Records, a compendium of past, present, and future events forever stored in the Astral Plane.

In Mexico, many European esotericists established occult societies beginning in the early 20th century. These societies shared practical occult knowledge, including various techniques for achieving Astral Projection.

By the 2000s, however, these occult societies were fading away. Arcturus had the unique opportunity to join one of the last remaining esoteric schools before it closed. During his time there, he mastered all the ancient Astral Projection techniques.

He has since simplified and refined these techniques into The Arcturus Method, a series of steps to be followed every night to access the Astral Plane, either through direct transition or Lucid Dreaming.

Now, Arcturus is making these techniques accessible to everyone through The Astral Gateway Course.
