Astral Projection
Astral projection is the process in which the mind is able to meditate and enter a trance like state. From there while in a deep trance, a person’s other self is able to leave the body and travel along the astral field, capable of doing and seeing things that they cannot see in their own bodies. It is like an out of body experience where the person assumes an astral body. Astral projection is when the mind actually leaves the body and is capable of this travel.
Astral projection is often correlated with near death experiences in which the mind or spirit leaves the physical body and travels to somewhere else, escaping the physical world around them. Some people even have the experience to look upon their own body while it is in its trance like state.
Many types of out of body experiences have been recorded and recognized by many different religions. Depending on the cultural and religious teachings, it is believed that the body and mind are able to separate in different ways and travel to alternative or even higher realms that are not exactly on the same plane as reality or where the true human body actually is. It is a process that is said to take lots of practice to achieve the deep trance like meditative state.
