Hello and welcome to the Astral Projection Podcast, it’s been a long time since my last episode, where has the time gone? I really do believe that time is moving faster here in the physical plane, I can’t seem to fit in all the things I used to. In reality, time doesn’t exist, it is just something we use in order to get some sort of order in, what we perceive as, our ‘linear lives’. I have been very busy doing several courses, getting into sound therapy, reading a lot of books and of course continuing with my out-of-body experiences. However, I have missed doing my podcast so here I am.

One of the courses I’ve been doing is about shamanism, I’ve always had an interest in this and many of my OBEs have definitely had a shamanic feel about them, I had a guide for a while called Shaman George, plus a bear, a wolf and a dragon as part of my ‘army’ so to speak.

I thought today we could look at a few of the benefits you can enjoy when practicing astral projection/OBEs, some people may start researching and practicing it out of curiosity but the benefits of experiencing out-of-body experiences go far beyond satisfying curiosity. I always have more of a personal/spiritual growth attitude towards it, I have gained spiritual insight into many situations and experienced myself as existing far beyond the physical body grounded on Earth.

1. Exploration of the Astral Realms:

One of the benefits of astral projection is obviously the opportunity to explore the astral realms. These dimensions are extremely varied, basically if you can imagine it you have the possibility of meeting it, or exploring it, the astral offers a landscape for the exploration of consciousness that transcends the limitations of the physical world. You may have encounters with other beings, visit realms that are beautiful beyond description, there are also realms that are not so inviting, the lower planes which are of a very low vibration and I do not recommend visiting these. I have been in these lower realms on several occasions but always with guides and I have never actively planned to go there.

Exploration of the astral certainly opens your mind as you realise that there is much more to life than meets the eye.

Astral projection transcends the limitations of time and space. Travelers may experience non-linear perceptions of time or visit locations that are distant in physical terms. This unique aspect of astral projection allows us to gain insights into the interconnectedness of past, present, and future.

2. Heightened Spiritual Awareness:

Astral projection is often associated with heightened spiritual awareness. As we focus away from our physical body, we may experience a sense of oneness with the universe, we can tap into a collective consciousness that goes beyond individual identity, once in the astral we become a lot more knowledgeable than we are in the physical, our consciousness expands. This expanded awareness can often lead to profound spiritual insights and can give us a deepened sense of purpose when returning to our physical bodies.

Access to Higher Wisdom:

During astral projection experiences, we may encounter entities or guides that offer insights, teachings, and guidance. This access to higher wisdom can provide answers to existential questions, offer solutions to life challenges, and deepen one’s understanding of the greater mysteries of existence.

3. Self-Discovery and Personal Growth:

Astral projection for me has been, and continues to be, a powerful tool for self-discovery and personal growth. As we navigate the astral realms, we may encounter symbolic representations of our subconscious mind, unresolved emotions, or aspects of ourselves that are not readily apparent in everyday life. Our higher self may create different scenarios in order to help us work through our issues. Through our astral adventures we can gain many personal insights, healing, and a greater sense of self-awareness,

4. Overcoming Fear of Death:

Astral projection involves a temporary focus of consciousness away from the physical body, providing us with a unique perspective on the nature of life and death. Experiencing consciousness outside the confines of the body can lead to a profound shift in how you view death, as you realise that consciousness exists independently of the physical form.

5. Healing on the Energetic Level:

Astral projection can help you heal on an energetic level, our issues, whatever they may be, are stored energetically, they are present in the energy body before they manifest in the physical body. In an OBE a while ago I was doing Reiki on my sleeping body, it was a fascinating experience. Healing in the astral is often depicted by images and sensations, words can be clumsy and not convey as much as an image or feeling. You may find yourself within a scene, which leads to insights, or you may be led to understanding by a series of actions, or events.

These experiences can have a positive impact on physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being, promoting a sense of harmony and equilibrium in your life on Earth.

6. Enhanced Creativity and Problem-Solving:

Engaging in astral projection can stimulate creativity, I once found myself in what I can only describe as ‘the land where ideas are born’, the energy in the place was full of enthusiasm of hope, of creativity. Many artists, writers, and innovators have reported drawing inspiration from astral journeys for their creative projects. There are many beautiful places in the astral, some of the architecture is amazing, there’s beautiful countryside, oceans and mountains. Really wonderful and inspiring.

7. Strengthened Intuition:

In the astral you often have a heightened state of intuition due to expanded consciousness, with time I believe this is also reflected in physical life and you may develop a more acute sense of inner knowing, enabling you to make intuitive decisions and navigate your life with greater clarity. This strengthened intuition can be a valuable asset in personal relationships, professional endeavors, and overall decision-making.

One of the greatest benefits I believe in practicing astral projection and out-of-body experiences is a a deepened connection to the Divine

8. Deepened Connection to the Divine

The astral is just one plane that we can explore, the truth lies beyond it, though we can gain many insights during our adventures and we can get glimpses of the Divine, those glimpses can pull you further towards divine energy and truly take you to another level. Try meditating in the astral, empty your mind of all thoughts, focus in the present moment, feel love in your heart and see where it takes you. It does take a lot of mental effort, our minds are so full of chit chat at times but the result is worth it. Once you feel that connection to the Divine it pulls like a magnet to the beyond, it’s as if you have reactivated something, rekindled the fire.

9. Transcendence of Physical Limitations:

During astral projection, we may experience a sense of freedom from physical limitations. We can travel at the speed of thought, pass through solid objects, and exist beyond the constraints of the physical body. This transcendence of physical limitations certainly evokes a feeling of liberation and empowerment, expanding the understanding of what is possible beyond the material world. Coming back to the physical plane can sometimes give you a sense of heaviness, as in the astral often you feel very light.

For me travelling beyond the physical plane has been, and continues to be, a journey of discovery, an adventure and at times a challenge, when you experience for yourself other realities and dimensions, it changes your whole perspective regarding your own life, life on Earth and life in the Universe and beyond.

Thanks for listening!
