Astral projection is the ability to travel beyond the physical body. Along with having a celestial body and a mental body, humans also have an astral body. It can also be thought of as our soul. Every night when we go to sleep, we shift from a beta state to an alpha, then a theta state, and lastly to a delta state. Astral traveling is when one literally can travel anywhere they want to go on the astral realm. Everything from this dimension exists on the astral plane, but the physics are altered. An OBE has been said to feel like one is floating outside of their body. The astral realm is populated by spirits and other beings that are not in their physical form and rather exist as energy. There are different levels within the astral plane. These levels are separated by different vibrational frequencies. Depending on your vibration - that is which astral realm you will travel to. Celestials, elementals, negative entities all exist in this realm. Once you have achieved the OBE, you may hear a buzzing sound right before it occurs. One will also be able to teleport anywhere they want and create their own reality.

​

There are many methods, practices, and techniques used to astral project. Keeping the mind awake while the body is asleep is one of these approaches. Having experience with meditation can be beneficial when trying to have an OBE. One technique is called "the rope technique" -- involves laying down on your back and visualizing pulling oneself up a rope. Visualize the feeling of doing this without actually physically doing it. Stay focused on this practice until your astral body eventually comes out. There are many ways to have this experience, and you should find which one works best for you.
