Astral Travel Simplicity Itself

The step by step instructions that I was taught, similar to those in the
LLEWELYN Practical Guide to Astral Travel, worked better for me - it took me
a lot of practice to get to where I could do it and it seems that for most
people it takes practice, although some can do it spontaneously. In fact it
happens to some the first few times with no warning and then, after worrying
they have gone crazy for a while, they later learn what it is. But I did just
want to say for those like me for whom it does NOT come easy, not to get
discouraged but to try working with it one step at a time.

Two interesting points about astral travel for me. One is that I find it more
interesting to explore the astral planes than to explore specific locations on
this plane. However when you are first learning, exploring specific locations
on this plane can help. Laurie Cabot suggests picking a store near you that you
have never been in, try projecting to it, immediately on arising write down your
impressions of it and then, as soon as you can, visit the store and check out
your impressions. If they are not all correct, don't be discouraged The example
she gives is DID YOU SEE RED BEHIND THE CASH REGISTER AND IT'S NOT THERE?
Perhaps the cashier that day or evening was wearing a Red sweater! The longer
you wait to visit the establishment, the more likely it is they will move
something or change a display, so go soon after your visit.

The second is that I used to do it as a kid, no problem - right up until my Dad
told me it was all in my head and I had imagined it. Then I couldn't do it
anymore.

A note here - My DAD, who used to be a hard-core skeptic, started attending a
Spiritualist Church I hung-out at when he married my step-mother. I find it
humorous that originally he went there because it was non-denominational so you
don't have to believe everything the ministers teach and because he liked the
ministers, but he didn't buy the Psychic stuff. Well, lately he's changing his
mind as he's had some startling experiences. I'm good, I'm nice, I don't tell
him he is imagining things. But I can't help laughing about it to myself
just a little bit.

Oh, some of the stuff the Llewelyn book suggests is to practice opening your
chakras first and grounding the energy, work on that for 1 week to 1 month.
WHEN YOU HAVE IT DOWN PAT (be honest with yourself here or you can forget it)
work on projecting a cloud of your energy out through your solar plexus (some
people work better projecting from the 3d eye, I personally project the body
through the solar plexus and when I project the consciousness into it, I do it
via the 3d eye. BUT since these are all merely visual aids to doing something
non-physical, I am not sure that it matters IF YOU ARE ACHIEVING VALID RESULTS)
and leaving this energy as a cloud only then reabsorbing it. YOU DO NOT PROJECT
YOUR AWARENESS INTO IT. You absolutely MUST reabsorb it. That is done for a
week or a month or however long it takes. It is done by creative visualization
until you get it to the point where you can feel that it is something more.

Then you do the same thing for a week or a month, ONLY YOU SHAPE THE CLOUD INTO
A SIMULCRAM OF YOUR BODY (if you are also trying to heal yourself, use the ideal
form you wish to achieve - make it realistic and so it looks like you) WITHOUT
projecting consciousness to it, you send it out to watch a situation you can
later check on for yourself. When it comes back at a prearranged time later on,
meditate for a while and write down your impressions AND DO NOT THROW ANY OF
THEM OUT AS THEY SEEM SILLY OR IMPOSSIBLE - truth is often stranger than
fiction. Check on these later, DISCREETLY - don't TELL people you sent an
astral traveler to them, say I HEARD THAT you went such and such a place today
while I was in school so you can say to your mom that someone saw her and told
you or something, OR just say it's a hunch, or, if you have the impression that
your mom called your grandmother while you were in school, just say I WONDER HOW
GRANDMA IS DOING? and see if your mother doesn't say, THAT'S WEIRD SHE CALLED ME
TODAY.

PEOPLE GET PARANOID IF THEY THINK THAT YOU CAN WATCH THEM - AND THEY ALSO THINK
YOU ARE THE CRAZY ONE IF YOU SAY YOU CAN DO THIS. Interestingly enough science
(psychology) tells us that one of the classic symptoms of Paranoia is to think
the OTHER person is crazy.

Always be sure to bring the simulcram back at the pre-arranged time and REABSORB
IT!

The next step is to project consciousness into it, go out with it, and reabsorb
the energy/substance afterwards - but only try this once you have the watcher
exercise down pat.

THESE EXERCISES SHOULD BE DONE FROM A MEDITATIVE STATE.

ALWAYS SHIELD YOURSELF BEFORE TRAVELING
