Astral Projection – The Silver Cord To Another World

Sunday, July 18th, 2010

Astral projection is something that you already have some awareness of. No doubt you've heard the phrase used in conversation, in a movie or TV program or seen it in a book or magazine. What you might not know is that you can astral project; anyone can, in fact. Youve already done so, though you might not remember it.

Just what is astral projection though? Essentially, astral projection is what happens when your non-physical, or astral body separates from your physical body. This happens most commonly while you sleep. Your subconscious mind is the seat of the astral body and when your conscious mind and your physical body rest, it heads out on its own.

Astral projection allows you to visit any place you like and do anything without limitations imposed by time or space. As a child, you probably were able to do this easily every time you slept. When we age though, its common to forget how to use this ability.

You may be asking at this point what is meant by the astral body? The meaning of the term astral body is the body's invisible duplicate, also called the ethereal body. It is where all of our wishes and feelings are stored in our body. I bet you are wondering how the astral body can leave and then also return to the physical body? There is this silver cord that connects the physical body with the astral body.

The astral body is immediately connected to the physical body upon entering it with this silver cord, this cord cannot ever be broken except through death. This cord actually protects the physical body from losing the astral body.

Another question that is often asked is where the astral body travels to when a person engages in astral projection. The astral body moves along the astral plane. This is, as the astral body is a duplicate for the physical, a duplicate of the physical world. There are a number of ways that it can be described. In some descriptions, it is described as a set of vibrations, which penetrate physical reality but are at a wavelength that separates it from the physical world. It can also be described as a secondary reality or another dimension. What is agreed upon with the descriptions is that there are multiple levels to the astral plane.

Are there any risks to astral projection? Yes and no. Your physical body is at no risk and nothing can keep your astral body from returning, but there are some dangers. However, the risk is pretty minimal. Just keep a level head and know where youre going beforehand.

Let me caution you here, if your mind is in a dark place or not right then it becomes dangerous to astral project. If you are taking drugs or drinking alcohol it is not wise to astral project because you could wind up in some bad places. The lower levels of the astral plane contain the places that are bad.

This is why it is so important that you know exactly what you are doing and where you are planning to go. The goal you are trying to achieve is not just astral projecting, but conscious astral projection where you are aware of what is going on.

When engaging in astral projection it is important to prepare properly. Once you know how to prepare, you will find that astral projection is a quick and easy process. The method of preparation varies depending on the professional consulted. However, there are a number of, at home, training programs that provide individuals with the opportunity to learn how to control the experience and ultimately obtain both more enjoyment and benefit from astral projecting.

The internet has a wealth of information on astral projection and there are a number of books, which describe a number of techniques that can be used in order to prepare the mind and body for astral projection. There are even recordings that use hypnosis to assist in astral projection. There is an advantage to these types of recordings. You can have them play on repeat giving people who may find it difficult to prepare the time necessary to reach the appropriate state of mind; this extra time might not be available if professional sessions are used.

Something called binaural beats, a new audio recording technique have made it possible for many people to astral project. Two frequencies which are just slightly different are listened to, one in each year. The result is that your brainwaves tune to the proper frequency for astral projecting.

If you are unable to astral project at first, do not be concerned. It is something that requires practice to be able to do. It is important to remember that this is not actually an acquired skill but something that is already known to each person. They simply need to remember how to astral project and then to practice in order to obtain a level of proficiency.

Do you still not totally believe this is for real? Well have you ever had dreams that you were flying or had the sensation of falling? The flying was your astral body actually traveling through the various astral planes. The sensation of falling is the astral body coming back to the physical body after it traveling around. Astral projection really exists! Take time to tune your natural abilities and you will see that anyone has the abilities to perform this and reap the benefits from it.

Things To Know About Gratitude Abundance

Thursday, July 15th, 2010

Are you a grateful person? Gratitude abundance will teach you to be grateful for many little things that you already have in order to get the things you need.

Gratitude is an attitude of being thankful. While you may not think you have much to be grateful for, if you stop and think, you probably have more than you think.

Many healthy people take their health for granted. Those who have lost the blessing of health may realize too late how grateful they should have been for those healthy years. With good health, you can work to replace anything else that is lost, even if you must start from scratch to regain the loss.

Most of the persons reading this article have a warm shelter in which they reside, yet around the world today millions of persons would be grateful if they had the smallest of rooms of our homes for their entire family to spend the night protected from the rain, heat of cold that they will be sleeping in tonight.

Loot at the luxuries you have that make it possible to read this article. You have your computer as well as power. For millions around the globe these do not exist.

Have you stopped to be grateful for the food you have in your home. Tonight millions of children will go to bed hungry. These children are not just in third world countries, but may be just around the block from your own home. They could be down the street or even next door. Yet we find ourselves not wanting what we have but something else, so we head out to dinner without a second thought.

Take time to be grateful for your job. Remember that in the recent downturn in the economy many people have lost their jobs as well as their primary means of supporting families. Even so, many will have at least a year's eligibility to unemployment compensation. Without leaving their home, they have money coming into the home on a weekly basis.

When was the last time you stopped to be grateful for your family of origin. When you were a baby and a child unable to care for yourself, they offered nurture and love. Tonight, thousands of children will go to bed in the home of a foster family and could by moved by the courts tomorrow. Thousands more continue to live in abusive homes and will go to bed in fear tonight, hoping that their fears do not become a reality.

With many things to be grateful for, many people still live life focused on only the negative things that have happened. They choose to focus on what they do not have rather on the blessings that are a part of life. The result of their negative thinking is those very things they long for are being pushed away from their lives.

Gratitude abundance teaches you how to be thankful for the little things. This will change your way of thinking so that you can use the power of positive thinking to get the things that you really want.

Simple Ways Of Experiencing Amazing Lucid Dreams!

Wednesday, June 2nd, 2010

Very simply put, a dream in which you are conscious that you are dreaming is known as a Lucid Dream. The expression 'lucid' in this context means aware or conscious. But the extent of your 'lucidity' can vary according to how 'stable' the dream experience itself is, how much you manage to remember about the dream when you wake up, and also how much influence you have in taking control of the dream itself.

Control over your dream is the most important element of Lucid Dreaming. It is an incredible experience to be in the midst of a dream and to know that you are in fact dreaming. You are in control of everything in your dream and can have any experience you choose to have.

Just consider that for a moment. Lucid Dreaming looks, feels and engages all of your other senses as if it were really happening but you know that you are only dreaming and will be totally safe no matter what you do. This is the kind of virtual reality experience which computer experts can only dream of creating!

Lucid dreaming is an incredible skill that more and more people are mastering. Having a Lucid Dream is something almost everyone experiences very occasionally, but just imagine how exhilarating it would be if you could Lucid Dream whenever you want to!

Lucid Dreaming gives you the opportunity to have any experience that you can think of. You can meet anyone you ever wanted to, visit other planets, have unbridled erotic experiences, speak with the loved ones you have lost; anything you can imagine can happen.

Being able to experience Lucid Dreaming on a regular basis is something which used to take a long time to be able to do. Some people spent months before they could have a Lucid Dream - and some were never able to master the technique.

So are there any simple ways of experiencing a Lucid Dream?

Some people report that certain foods can encourage Lucid Dreaming if consumed shortly before sleeping - Mustard, Orange Juice and dairy products among them.

Also recommended by some are ice cream, popcorn, pickles and fish. Some people say that these foods are ideal for preparing your mind for Lucid Dreaming - but of course, many of these are high in salt and fat, which isn't very conducive to a good night's sleep.

Can Technology Help You?

New technologies can make it somewhat easier to experience Lucid Dreaming. There are devices which can help to stimulate you to have Lucid Dreams such as eyeshades and sleep masks which activate a LED when rapid eye movements are detected. This light reminds you that you are dreaming; letting you take control of the dream!

Another of the new developments is an audio technology known as binaural beats. Different frequencies are played in each ear of the listener; this has been found to be helpful in achieving Lucid Dreams.

What this process does is to synchronize the two hemispheres of the brain. And almost instantly, just by listening to these special frequencies, puts the brainwaves into a state known as REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep which is the state needed to achieve a lucid dream.

If you have always wanted to try Lucid Dreaming for yourself, binaural sound presents the quickest and easiest way to begin.
