With every person being unique, a technique that is good for one user many not be good for another user. The main reason people run into problems with any of the methods usually is the fact that they have an inability to relax.

One thing you need to bear in mind right from the very beginning, is that total relaxation is essential, irrespective of which technique you choose to use. Unfortunately, because there are still many misconceptions regarding astral projection, many newcomers experience a certain degree of fear and this in itself prevents them from being able to relax. Contrary to what you may have heard, one cannot be harmed and neither can you die from astral projection. In fact, the Canterbury institute even went as far as doing some research involving 2,000 people, in order to squash such fears.

All the people who took part in the research had participated in astral projection and institute determined that not one of those people were harmed in any way after having followed the various techniques. Furthermore, having followed the 2,000 people for no less than three years, the institute also establishrd the fact that nobody reported any problems.

Once you have managed to quiet your fears that this practice could do you harm, it is important for you to start by taking a look at some of the more basic astral projection techniques that people have been using. The first is known as the Monroe Technique, and consists of seven main steps.

* The first step is getting your body and mind to be 100 percent relaxed. Many relaxation techniques can be utilized to reach this stage successfully. Using the deep breathing method is so simple just inhale deeply and exhale deeply. Another one is to relax every muscle in your body by first tensing them up then secondly release them, begin with the toes on your feet and work toward the head.

* The next step involves the hynagogic stage, where your mind and body are very close to the state of sleep. Remember not to forget yourself and don’t doze off. Start by gazing at something and focus on it as you lay in bed. As you let your eyes drift shut, you will discover that you can still see the thing that you are focusing on.

* Then once you are able to accomplish seeing the item with your eyes shut you have to go deeper into the state you are in. To accomplish this stage just close your eyes and start looking around to view what you can visualize. There is a possibility of you seeing a variety of light patterns, you could by chance notice a purple light cloaking the room. Do not spend too much attention to this, when you quit viewing this light you will have found that you have entered a state that is deeper. At this point you are so thoroughly relaxed that you have become unaware of your body physically. This part of the process is very crucial in the astral projection Monroe technique.

* This step, in terms of the Monroe technique,is arguably the most important. With this step, you are going to be entering the realm of Vibration, where you will feel vibrations pass through you. With people who have been using astral projection techniques for a while, the vibrations begin early and with more control, and in many ways, this might show you that you are leaving your physical body. Go ahead and get used to the feeling, don’t be frightened or enrvous.

* This step might be known as controlling the vibrations. Start by focusing on them and feeling the way that they move through the body. Then work on controlling them with your mind. Feel them, and control them all at once and make sure that you can bring the waves on when you want to. Can you change the frequency and can you make sure that you can find them when you need/ if so, it is time to try to leave your body.

* The secret to astral travel and projection is for you to be in control with your mind. Monroe suggest that to strengthen this practice at this point a partial separation. Remaining focused mentally on the thought of exiting the physical body, 1st have a foot or maybe a hand go as fast as the astral body. Stretch either to an item that is close to you, as in maybe the floor, a wall, or any other item that is familiar, now place you foot or hand completely through this item. Now you need to bring the hand or foot back again to the physical body, calm down and stop the vibrations and bring session to a close. Keep laying on the bed until you have become to an awakened state completely.

* At this stage, you are ready to leave the body entirely. Start by repeating steps one through six until you feel comfortable, and then, when you are ready, move completely into your astral body. You will find that this can feel a little strange and that you might need some visualization to get you started. Think about how you can release your body and how it feels so light. Think about how wind can blow it here and there and how weightless you are. You may feel as though you are flying or floating.

Other popular methods include techniques such as the gazing method, the anchor method, and the rope technique. Ideally, one should spend some time experimenting with the different techniques in order to establish which technique suits you the most.
