Q&A for How to Perform Astral Projection

Sure. The biggest danger is if you do not ensure that you're grounded in some capacity before you attempt to do an astral projection. There needs to be something that pulls your energy back into your body back into the room where you are.

According to people who write about these experiences, they have similar “core experiences.” However, sleep paralysis is often a scary and unpleasant experience, if you realize that this is what you’re experiencing rather than astral projection. It can be made worse by imagining that malevolent beings are around you and threatening to harm you but you cannot get away. So, while sleep paralysis may be a state that aids astral projection for some people, the subjective experience of each is quite different.

It’s not an ideal thing to do to yourself, so think hard about this before attempting it. For help with it, see the wikiHow: How to Induce Sleep Paralysis .

Binaural beats are reported to be helpful by many people who try astral projection. Some of them feel that the binaural beats relax them and help them to achieve complete mind and body relaxation or meditative state needed for an out-of-body experience. However, you’ll need to experiment with this yourself as it doesn’t help everyone and in any case, it is just one possible way among several that will help you relax sufficiently before the experience.

If you’re performing it somewhere unsafe and someone sees you’re not paying attention, you could be a target for robbery or worse. However, apart from that, there really are no more dangers than going to sleep in your cozy bed every night. There are numerous myths about it, like being about to sever your energy link to kill you or invading your physical body while you’re astrally projecting but these are not real things that actually happen, so they’re not something to be concerned about.

You zap back instantly. This is the case whether the waking is through physical contact or as a result of a sudden noise nearby. It's harmless enough, but a bit annoying.

Try to picture your soul climbing out of your body. Remain relaxed.

People that are sensitive to that kind of stuff can, but most people can not.

It can't break; it's like an elastic. Too much stress on it would just pull you back into your body.

Yes, you can, but keep in mind that everything is dependant on your own consciousness. They cannot hurt you, although they can scare you quite a lot.

No. Astral projection uses your energy, soul, and mind. To return to your body, you must simply think of returning.

You may gain peace of mind and a sense of healing. It can also feel as if you're riding astride a shooting star, which is a pretty cool feeling.

Yes. You can go wherever you want, even to completely unknown places, and you can watch other people without being noticed.

This sensation can be used to trigger a projection if you remain immobile, but don't actually pee yourself. Just get up and go if it gets to that point.

Based on the available research, you cannot physically interact with the third dimension because you are a part of the astral realm, a different dimension.

The answer is yes. So long as you are protected, the evil entity will not and can not harm you. You can then seek answers from it.

No, because although your physical body has not moved your non-physical body is traveling through the world and energy around you. Therefore you should see what you normally would in reality.

It can't happen – you are attached to your physical body with a "golden rope." If you ever get lost, just think of your body or a place you want to be.

No. Even though there soul or four dimensional being is elsewhere during astral projection, it is impossible to inhabit another person's body.

No, because of the cord leading you to your body. You also can't enter other people's bodies because of their silver cord. Even if they got as far as tricking the cord into thinking that your body was theirs, they still wouldn't be able to get in. This is because they can't imagine themselves into thinking you are them.

Yes, there are other beings in the astral realm, you can communicate with the spirits there, just be careful who you communicate with, as other beings can sometimes not be "very nice". With enough practice you can simply think of a person, dead or alive, or a place, and be projected there while in the astral realm.

If you truly believe and know that God really will protect you, no demons and negative energy will visit your physical and non-physical body.

If something happens that makes you die(suffocation, for example), yes, but don't worry it's probably going to be fine as eventually your soul will return by itself.

Yes. Your body could roll out of bed, or according to some beliefs, your soul, while out of your body could be attacked by another spiritual creature such as a demon, or one could possess your unoccupied body.
