Self Hypnosis to Astral Project

Posted about 11 years ago , by Surfent

For self-hypnosis, you need to get yourself into a deep trance. The following is an excerpt from "A Treatise on Astral Projection" by Robert Bruce:

"How To Enter A Trance
Relax and calm your mind through breath awareness. Imagine you are climbing down a ladder in the dark. Don't visualize a ladder; just imagine you can feel yourself doing it. On the exhale, feel yourself climbing a step or two down the ladder. On the inhale, feel yourself holding still on the ladder.

What is needed is a mental falling effect inside your mind. This changes the level of brain wave activity from the awake level (Beta) to the asleep level (Alpha) or the deep sleep level (Theta). Once your level of brain wave activity reaches Alpha you will enter a trance.

Keep doing this for as long as it takes. The time it takes to enter trance will vary, depending on your experience with deep relaxation and mental calmness.

Note: Once you get the heavy feeling, stop the mental falling exercise. If you don't like the ladder, imagine you are in a lift

Deep Trance, The level of trance you achieve depends greatly on your relaxation, concentration skills and will power. To enter a deeper trance, i.e., Theta level and beyond, you have to concentrate much more and for much longer, on the mental falling sensation aided by breath awareness. The first level of trance, i.e., when you get very heavy, is quite deep enough for projection. I strongly advise against forcing yourself deeper than a light trance, until you have plenty of experience with the trance state.How can you tell if you are entering a deep trance? There are four very noticeable symptoms:1. An uncomfortable feeling of cold that doesn't make you shiver, coupled with a steady loss of body heat.2. Mentally, you will feel very odd and everything will feel extremely slooooow. Your thought processes will slow down as if you had been given a strong pain killing injection.3. You will feel disassociated from your body, i.e., a strong floating sensation and everything will seem far away.4. Total physical Paralysis. Note: These four things, ALL TOGETHER, signify you are entering a deep trance. Do not mistake the mild floating sensation you sometimes get with light trance, i.e., as you astral body comes loose. Or the slight loss of body heat from sitting still for a long time and the mild paralysis, i.e., the heaviness, for a deep trance. The sensation of deep trance is quite uncomfortable and unmistakable for what it is.

It is very difficult to get into the deep trance state, as you need highly developed relaxation, concentration and trance state skills plus lots and lots of will power and mental energy. You will not accidentally fall into it. If you are worried you are going too deep, remember this: You CAN pull yourself out of it at any time. Concentrate ALL your will on moving your fingers or toes. Once you can move a finger or toe, flex your hands, move your arms, shake your head, i.e., reanimate your body; and get up and walk around for a few minutes. Falling into a deep trance should not be a problem with these exercises.

Energy Body Expansion

At some point after entering the trance state, you will feel a mild paralysis come over you. This will soon be accompanied by a deepening vibration and a buzzing feeling all over. You may also feel like you are huge and swollen. The paralysis, vibrations and the huge feeling are symptoms of the energy body expanding and the astral body loosening. This is part of the normal sleep process. The energy body expands and opens in order to accumulate and store energy. During this, the astral body drifts free, slightly out phase with the physical body."

Some people use a tape recorder and listen to the talking through and statements. The drawback here is when in a deep trance state, sounds can become painful and jar the nervous system. Everyone is individual and one should experiment to find the best individual methods. What works for one person may not work for another.While in this state, you can regress into a past life, by walking through a door or "portal" in your mind.The deep trance state is the time to make repeated affirmations to yourself to program your mind. Self-hypnosis is much like hypnotizing others, with the exception, you make the statements to yourself. Again, several sessions may be necessary.Bring yourself out slowly and gradually, as you would do in returning from the astral.

Hi Surfent,

I tried this technique this morning, This technique is really awesome, Though I didn't try the ladder, I tried the stairs as alternative. I got into trance in few minutes. It was awesome that I was in total control and the exit was very smooth. Awesome !!
Thank you for the post, I recommend people to try this once and you will be into the trance easily, one thing you should keep in mind is that you must at least think if you cannot visualize, visualization is pretty difficult whereas thinking that you are doing something is pretty easy.

Try it, happy travels..

Regards,
Praveen

Hello Praveen, Thanks for Reading
i tried the water floating technique as the alternate of the ladder , inhale=float ,exhale= down to the water ,  i got into deep trance in less than 10 minutes , after doing this i got recently out of my body without a clue i was leaving my body ,
Yep, Visualization is pretty hard for me while doing the ladder , but it works for best !
