Have you ever felt like you were flying while you were sleeping? This feeling is a sensation you feel as your body moves around while you astral travel on the astral plane. All you have to do to make this happen is concentrate on where you want to be and what you want to do while you are there, before you ever go to sleep. Your astral body and subconscious mind work together while you are sleeping to help you achieve that which you want the most.

Astral travel is not to be confused with dreaming. Dreaming is your way of allowing yourself to work through problems and frustrations you may have encountered throughout the day. This is a very positive defense mechanism courtesy of your subconscious mind. These types of dreams are mostly dreams you cannot remember, or possibly remember only in bits and pieces.

However, those dreams that we wake up from, remembering every detail vividly are actually experiences of astral projection! You should keep a notepad and paper by your bed in order to be able to keep a dream journal of these dreams. As soon as you wake, write down everything which you can remember of the experience. At first, you may not be able to make a lot of sense of what you write down; just keep taking your notes, it will all come together later on.

Regular dreams help to relieve daily stress and allow you to keep your sanity. Astral travel is just as beneficial to you and your healthy wellbeing. It is essential that you record the dreams you do remember in a dream journal. Keep in mind that since we are all different, that our experiences with astral travel will vary as well. We can each find something beneficial from practicing astral traveling.

When you take the time to record everything you can remember about your astral travel experiences you will achieve a deeper inner understanding of yourself and the world we live in. You will notice an increased sense of inner tranquility and personal spirituality, by keeping a journal of your dreams. Other benefits of astral travel may include a higher sense of creativity and the enhancement of your memories. Although this type of brain activity is not stimulated during your waking hours, it is stimulated while you are on the astral plane.

Your senses, which pertain to your natural psychic abilities, are another benefit of astral travel. Scores of people who do practice astral travel report an increase of such abilities as precognition, telepathy as well as being able to sense spiritual being from beyond the veil of this world.

This is why when you are astral projecting and astral traveling you can tap into the higher energies of your spiritual self and the universe, for many individuals these gifts have been forgotten by the way side as they mature into adults.

Even skeptics have been known to change their minds after practicing astral projection techniques, given the ability to read the auras of other people.

Aside from those benefits, one has to admit that it is fun to travel outside your body, to visit places you haven’t been before and to find that inner peace everyone craves.

With the variety of benefits to be gained by practicing astral travel, it’s surprising that everyone doesn’t take advantage of this ability. The problem is that a lot of people assume that only a few special people have this ability – they’re wrong. Every one of us has the ability to astral project; it’s only a matter of practice.

It is likely that you’ve experienced some astral travel in your lifetime, as stated above, either through your remembered dreams or daydreams. You have flown out of your body before, whether you like it or not!

The best way to gain the benefits of astral projection is to simply allow these experiences to happen freely, and try to blend with these experiences and to gain some sort of control over them. Through this mental exercise, you will get stronger in mind and body.

Don’t be afraid to give astral travel a try. Don’t deny yourself the pleasures of something you were born with but only have forgotten to use. Anyone can do it. You only need to browse the many ebooks and other information you can find online that teach techniques of astral travel. Learn to unlock the secrets of your inner self through astral travel!
