This experience illustrates another technique which I often use when trying to astral project, it is a great method as you don’t even have to wake up and do any practice, it is based on programming yourself through affirmations, obviously programming does take some time but it is certainly worth investing a few minutes before you go to sleep and even time during the day repeating affirmations. We all have times during the day when we can repeat affirmations, I wouldn’t do this is you are doing something that you need all your attention for but, for example, when we are waiting in a queue would be an ideal opportunity.

The affirmation is, ‘Now I am out-of-body’ or ‘Now I am in the Astral,’ or even ‘Now I am aware,’ whichever you prefer, I use ‘Now I am out-of-body’. Affirmations are best said out loud though standing in a supermarket queue repeating them may not be the best place, in such situations I just say the words in my head, this has still worked for me. You also have to say it like you mean it, repeating affirmations and not really believing what you are saying probably won’t work, you have to say the affirmations knowing them to be true.

I often become aware that I am in the Astral having totally missed the exit and I think this is due to the repetition of ‘Now I a out-of-body’ that I do on various occasions. When this happens I intuitively know I am in the Astral and it is not a lucid dream.

In this particular experience I become aware as I am flying over wondrously green countryside, the colour green is so rich and it feels so good, however, as I’m flying around really enjoying myself the thought comes to me that I really should do something useful. So I say to my higher self, ‘Take m where I need to be,’ and as usual I am whisked off, I actually enjoy not knowing where I am going to end up. In front of me I can see the entrance to some sort of underground world, a white metalish door opens up and there is darkness inside, I jokingly say to my higher self, maybe this wasn’t such a good idea’. I fly through the door and come to land in an underground cavern which looks like some sort of working area. There are young people/adults there all dressed in black, some have black helmets on, and they all have a red mark on their faces, that looks a bit like a birthmark. I recognise the place as somewhere I have been before though now I have no recollection of ever being there but the feeling was strong in the experience. The people there seemed to know I was a visitor, and I believe I told them that I was out-of-body and was from Earth. They asked me what Earth was like, I can’t remember what I answered or I didn’t as it was too complicated. At one point I remember that they are cooking stuffed peppers, the ones in the shape of a horn. After that I wake up.

In this experience I believe I was visiting another reality as they asked me about life on Earth, as I felt I had visited there before, this may be soe sort of ongoing thing. There is so much we don’t remember or our night time escapades and so much happening that we aren’t aware of, we can only do our best to put the pieces together.

I had another astral experience about 3 days after the one I have just described and again it illustrates how repeating ‘Now I am out-of-body’ before sleeping often serves to wake me up once I am already in the Astral. This is what happened.

I become aware and know I am in the Astral, it always feels so good just flying. I am so happy I thank the Divine for this experience. For some reason I have my right arm outstretched to the side, my palm is facing upwards and in my palm is a coffee mug. The mug is one we have had for years and it’s still going strong even though I don’t personally use it. I prefer a smaller one. Then the mug disappears in a puff.

I am flying over a city there are many houses but it is a very tidy and organised city and the houses are set neatly, each house appears to be a little different though each has space around and a garden. By this time there is someone near me, I see that at least 2 of the houses are upside down, seemingly balancing on their rooves. They are not damaged in any way just upside down. I asked the person with me the reason for this and he said there had been some turbulance and this had caused the houses to turn over.

I don’t remember anymore. Whether I was in another reality I’m not sure, or whether this had some personal meaning I have yet to decide, the mug is certainly personal though, it isn’t a mug I’m particularly attached to, I never use it. Maybe I have let go of whatever it symbolised to me, given that it’s been around for a long time, it could have reminded me of times past.

Using affirmations is definitely not to be overlooked and can be combined with other techniques, it certainly works for me so there is no reason why it should not work for others. So give it a try, remember you have to be consistent and don’t give up if it doesn’t work immediately, programming your mind can take time.

Happy travels!
