Before Learning Anything About Astral Projection
Before I even talk about the different kinds of astral movements and different modes of soul travel I want you to try this exercise. It'd a good insight into the out-of-body perspective.
Relax
Begin by relaxing. You should be in a place where you won't be disturbed. Sit or stand or kneel as you wish, just relax as deeply as you can for a moment or two.
Count or breathe or whatever you usually do to just relax. Once you have reached a relaxed state, go ahead and relax again because most people will rush this part; you can be one of the few who don't rush and who actually gets into a good relaxed state.
You don't want to fall asleep but this is a good exercise if you've recently woke up or if you are a little tired. Being near a dream state helps with out-of-body work.
Sit Comfortably
Once you are very relaxed but still wakeful, sit on the floor with your legs crossed. You don't have to sit in any lotus position or lock your foot under your leg or anything like that. No Yoga pose required here, just cross your ankles.
If you cannot sit on the ground or cross your legs sit in a rocking chair. If you can't sit on the ground and don't have a rocking chair -- geez trouble maker -- you can try this sitting one the edge of a hard or sturdy chair.
Be comfortable.
Stay Relaxed. Find the Center.
Once you are seated, either with crossed legs, in a rocking chair, or on the edge of a hard chair, relax one more time and settle your weight underneath you. Focus on your solar plexus a moment; this is the third chakra of your seven main chakras but it is also a commonly referenced place on the body.
The solar plexus is along your centerline in the middle of your torso. Between where the ribs meet and below the sternum. If you seek it, normally it will let you know where it is.
Find the solar plexus
Keep Relaxing and Enter the Center
Really inhabit the solar plexus chakra. Be inside of it; the space around you is the solar plexus in the center of your torso.
Shift your awareness into your third eye for a moment. Inhabit the sphere between and just above your physical eyes. Draw focus and mystical energy from here, then return to the solar plexus.
