Astral Travel, Lesson 11
May Astral Travel Lesson
Read over this several times until you know the lesson by heart.
Do this when you are in bed, preparing for sleep. However, don’t do it on a night when you are overly tired or overly stressed. If you feel stressed every single night when in bed, then please meditate before sleeping for a few nights before doing this assignment.
Lay on your back. Lights are out. Put your mask, or whatever you are using as a mask, over your eyes if you prefer. Breathe deep for a count of 20: in and out through your nose, if you can. Eyes closed. Visualize (or imagine) that you (not your body, not your astral body, just YOU) gently floats up to your ceiling, leaving your physical body on the bed. Don’t put any effort into actually astral projecting right now, we’ll get to that later. Just imagine these movements with a great sense of casualness.
You float up up up, and stop before you touch the ceiling. You are suspended in midair, feeling safe and warm, feeling relaxed and light. This is fun, this is easy, and this is something you deserve and are good at!
In your dark room, you are floating high in your bedroom. You are perfectly safe and enjoying the sensations. Your back is to the ceiling, you can see yourself and your bed, though because it is so dark you can’t make out any details. You just know that your body is slumbering safely. Your astral body is in there too, carefully untying itself from the physical body, getting ready because tonight is going to be a fun night.
If you find yourself giggling, then you are doing something right. Don’t stop. Giggle. Laugh if you need to. Nothing about this restricts your fun, your sense of adventure. Every moment is joy.
And you deserve that joy, because no matter what is going on during the physical day, right now you are in your truest and purest form. In this form you accept that all the hardships and stresses, uncertainties and instabilities are mere lessons, there for your benefit. All of that stuff is left to the physical day, you cannot –perfectly incapable—bring any of that with you now.
So, you’re floating high in the air. Legs together and hands across your chest– all muscles are loose and relaxed. Now your left shoulder begins to tingle in a pleasant fashion. That left shoulder pulls gently towards the bed, then to the wall, now the ceiling, now the opposite wall and you are once again facing your bed, back in the original position with your back to the ceiling. Spinning like that was fun! You go as fast or as slow as you want to. Get the hang of it– do it just once, or twice, or maybe three times.
Now stop, returning to the original position, looking down at your bed. You see the bed and it does not change. The floor beneath the bed however starts to glow ever so slightly. This makes you smile because the anticipation of a fun adventure gives you butterflies. Now the floor falls way. Completely away. Your bed remains where it has always been and doesn’t change. Where the floor once was is now the black sky, sprinkled with stars.
Smile, because you are about to enter that incredible vastness. There is no place you cannot go! Stars, planets, comets, solar systems– it is all RIGHT THERE IN FRONT OF YOU! And you know the way to get there. You always have!
Now spin again. Get the momentum going! Your left shoulder is pointing towards the bed, the wall, the ceiling, the other wall: bed, wall, ceiling, wall, bed, wall, ceiling, wall. Bedwallceilingwallbed faster and faster and faster. Will yourself to spin faster and faster. You instinctively know when you get to the right speed and those same instincts make it so that you don’t have to slow down to see when the time is right.
You shoot down with incredible speed into your body, arms reach out and hug your astral body, and ZOOM through the bed and into the black. Your astral body molds into you– you are one being now and because of this you feel a little more powerful, a little more solid.
You feel comfortably warm and safe. You breath easily. Don’t try to control where you go, just surrender to the journey. You may float for a while. Notice what you see. You may find yourself being steered towards a planet, or a star, or whatever. You may see words or numbers, you may hear beings talking. There is no concept of wrong during this experience. You will see, feel, and hear only things that are meant specifically for you.
If you feel that there is too much happening at once, simply say or think “it’s too much, slow it down” and the universe will comply.
Take your time and do this exercise as many times as you like. If you get tired of traveling, just say “home” or think returning to your body and you will go back right away.
Well done!
