The astral body is an invisible-to-the-eye body made up of non-physical energy. It is thought to exist in the spiritual realm, and is connected to our physical body. It is believed to be the vehicle for our soul, and for our consciousness to travel in. It is also believed to be the bridge between the physical and spiritual worlds.

8. Visualize yourself outside of your body. Imagine that you can feel your astral body rising out of your physical body, and visualize what you look like when you are in this state.
9. Set an intention to astral project. Before you begin, set an intention to astral project. This will help your conscious and subconscious minds to focus on the task at hand.
10. Use affirmations. Repeating phrases such as “I am now astral projecting” or “I can now easily astral project” can help to boost your confidence and make it easier to achieve the experience.
11. Don't give up. Astral projection is a skill that takes practice, so don't get discouraged if you don't succeed the first time. Keep trying and you will eventually be successful.

1. Ground yourself: Before you begin any astral travel, it is important to ground yourself. This will help to protect your energy and keep it from becoming unbalanced. You can do this by visualizing roots from your feet connecting to the ground, or by using a grounding stone like hematite, obsidian, aragonite or any other grounding stone.
2. Create a circle of protection: This can be done by visualizing a circle of light around you before beginning your astral travel. This will keep any outside energies from entering your space and will help you stay focused on your intention. Invite your benevolent guides along with you during meditation, astral travel and any other spiritual practice or ritual.
3. Stay aware: As you travel, it is important to stay aware of your energy and any outside energies that may be present. If you notice anything that feels off or negative, it is best to return to your body and ground yourself again.
