Thinking is divided on what astral travel is and whether it is the same as an out-of-body experience. And there is unlikely to ever be a consensus in this area. The astral travel process here begins in the min and the imagination. At some point though the practitioner will feel that things have left the imagination and they are actually traveling in an astral realms outside of their own mind and body. Connected to this area is Astral Projection and Remote Viewing. Projection is when an attempt is made to rise above the body and leave the room you are in and go walkabouts in your neighborhood. Remote viewing is where you attempt to send your mind out to a specific point in space and time and view events there. Here we are only interested in astral travel.

You may already have an oil, gemstone, crystal, pendant or other item to hold or wear during astral travel, if so then use this oil, or take up the item first before beginning this technique.

Then relax, lie or sit down, remove any distractions and close you eyes. Then working from your feet to your head relax each part of your body letting it feel heavier (take at least five minutes to do this). Say the words heavy, heavy, down, down as you work from your toes to your fingers and to the crown of your head.

When you have relaxed your whole body, with your eyes closed picture a large tree in your mind, this is the oak tree or Axis Mundi, a special gateway to enter the astral realms. Now as you look at the tree, see it in all of its detail, the colour, the bark, the smell and then move over to it and touch with your astral hand and feel the texture. See this tree as huge and see a door emerge in the tree, see the tree bark part slightly into this door and see a small golden/brass handle.

Now take the handle and open the door, slowly walk or glide through and you will enter an imaginary world, just paint it as you instinctively feel it should be. At this point everything is only in the imagination.

After scanning this world, look to the horizon, do you see mountains or gleaming spires of a far away city. Or do you just see field upon field of grass, or even a desert or swap or alien landscape. Whatever you see now begin to move around this world and as you go, try to touch things, feel them, smell them, make this world as real as possible. This is probably enough for the first session.

On subsequent sessions you will meet people and strike up conversations with them. They might be real other world travelers like yourself or parts of your imagination. Just keep traveling in this new world, interact with it, find places to go and relax with, visit its cities and gradually you will start to slip from this world and into the astral realms.

If you ever feel afraid and want to get out fast then say “banish, banish, banish, take me home”.
