We have all had those incredible dreams where we are flying – it’s an amazing feeling of complete freedom. What if you could experience this feeling anytime you wanted? Astral travel is just like these dreams. Astral travel is how your astral body makes its way around the astral plane; it does this by flying, just as in your dreams. When you astral travel, all you need to do is to think of what you want to do or where you‘d like to go and your astral body will fly there at the speed of thought.
Many people confuse actual astral travel with dreaming. This is not to say that each and every dream a person has is an astral travel adventure. When you first go to sleep and begin to dream it is your minds way of working through the events of your day. This is when the mind is trying to work out various stresses or events that were not settled while you were awake. This helps to keep you sane. Few of those dreams are remembered, and if they are remembered it is only bits and fragments.
But those dreams which you awake from being able to recall each and every detail as it were still happening – these are astral travel experiences. It is a good idea to keep a dream journal by your bed so that you can write down everything you remember of these experiences as soon as you awake. While it not all make sense at first, keep your journal – it will all make more sense later on.
Astral travel is something which is beneficial, just as are those dream which you can’t remember. This makes it important to keep a diary of your astral travel. The benefits will vary from individual to individual, since no two people have the same astral travel experiences.
Generally speaking though, benefits to experiencing astral travel and keeping track of your experiences can include a deepening of spirituality. When we say this, what we are referring to is a deeper connection to the soul and the world around you. This promotes inner peace and feelings of well being. Another benefit to astral travel is that it can increase memory and creativity. This is because astral travel sparks activity in parts of the brain that we typically do not use.
You’ll also find your psychic abilities sharpened. Regular astral travelers have said that their precognition,telepathy and ability to sense the presence of spirits all become heightened.
When you astral travel, you use untapped psychic energies and cause your psychic abilities to bloom.
Those who are skeptical of astral travel soon come to their senses after working on their astral travel skills. Even they have been able to read the auras of other people quite easily.
Besides all of the above, there is also the simple fun and adventure of travelling outside your own body. It is like being on a rollercoaster whenever you want while at the same time providing you a sense of well-being and peace.
It is hard to believe that astral travel isn’t consciously experienced by more people. Most people are simply afraid to try because they believe one must have the skills present. However, everyone is born with this ability as long as they are willing to practice it.
Whether you realize it or not, you have already astral traveled. You’ve had those flying dreams too – they are astral travel experiences.
Now that you know something about astral travel, you can allow yourself to experience these events openly. The next time you have an astral travel experience, try to control some aspects of it. A little practice at this and you will see your mental strength increase each day.
There plenty of resources out there, including books and videos developed by people who astral travel regularly. You already have this ability – it’s up to you to use it and reap the rewards.
