Magazine Overview

This document is the fourth installment in a series titled "Astral Projection" published by BOEVCIRKELN. The issue number is 13, and it is part of Series E. The identifier '1799719' is also present. The content is in Swedish and focuses on practical techniques for achieving astral projection.

Astral Projection Techniques

The article begins by reiterating the concept that "thought is where you want it to be," emphasizing its role in facilitating out-of-body experiences. It then outlines a specific exercise for astral projection:

1. Preparation: Find a place where you can be completely undisturbed and alone. Lie down, preferably on a bed, ensuring no one can interrupt the experiment. Relax and breathe slowly.
2. Concentration: Focus your mind on a point two meters above you, directly in front. Close your eyes and concentrate intensely on the idea that your astral self is two meters above your physical body, looking down at it.
3. Separation: With practice, you will experience a sudden, light, almost electric shock. At this point, you will see your physical body lying below with closed eyes.

Initial Sensations and Overcoming Fear

Initially, achieving this state requires significant effort and may feel like being inside a tight, expanding rubber balloon. You might feel pressure, but nothing seems to happen. Eventually, you will break through, experiencing a light shock, akin to popping a balloon. The article strongly advises against fear or agitation during this process. If fear arises, you will be immediately pulled back into your physical body, and the attempt will have to be postponed. Success requires rest and sleep.

Floating and Movement

Once you have successfully exited your body, you are instructed to float upwards in the room like a slowly drifting soap bubble. You are weightless and cannot fall or harm yourself. It is crucial to ensure your physical body is positioned correctly before leaving; otherwise, upon return, you might experience numbness or tingling in limbs. Avoid any hard edges that could press against the body, such as an arm hanging over the bed's edge, which could feel "asleep" or full of pins and needles.

Exploring the Environment

Float around the room, calmly and slowly, like a soap bubble on gentle air currents. Explore the ceiling and areas normally inaccessible. Get accustomed to this elemental astral movement until you are completely confident. Only then can you safely venture outdoors.

The Nature of Astral Projection

The article reassures the reader that astral projection is a simple process, free from difficulties, as long as one truly believes in its possibility. There is no need for fear; in the astral realm, you are free. The feeling of being confined or trapped only occurs when returning to the physical body, which is described as a heavy, unresponsive shell.

Detailed Steps for Projection

Reiterating the instructions, the reader is told to lie on their back on the bed, ensuring every part of the body is comfortably relaxed. No nerves should be twitching, and legs should not be crossed to avoid hindering blood circulation, which can cause limbs to "fall asleep." The mind should be clear of disturbing thoughts or influences.

Visualize an ethereal form, similar to your physical body, slowly detaching from the physical form and floating upwards like a balloon on a summer day. Keep your eyes closed, as the initial surprise of seeing your astral body can cause a sudden, jarring return to the physical form.

Many people experience a sudden jerk when falling asleep, which can be so strong it wakes them up. This is often caused by too rapid a separation between the astral and physical bodies. While most people project astrally during sleep, few remember it.

The astral body gradually separates from the physical body, rising a meter or so above it, swaying gently. This is the astral swaying sensation one might feel when falling asleep. The astral body remains connected to the physical body's navel by a silver cord.

Avoiding Re-entry and First Conscious Outing

Do not be alarmed if you become upset, as this can cause the astral body to snap back into the physical body, requiring you to start over. If you follow the warning and remain calm, the astral body will remain suspended for a short while. Lie still and breathe lightly, as this is your first conscious outing, and you should proceed cautiously.

If you are not afraid and do not jerk, the astral body will drift away from the bed, slowly and without any sudden movements, eventually descending to near the floor. Once this landing is complete, the astral body can look back at the physical body and signal back what it sees.

The Shock of Self-Perception

Seeing your own physical body can be a deeply unsettling and humbling experience. Many have an inaccurate perception of themselves. The article compares this to hearing one's voice on a tape recorder for the first time, where the reality can be shocking and seem like a trick or a malfunction.

However, this is nothing compared to seeing oneself via astral projection. The facial lines can be shocking, and looking into one's own mind might reveal weaknesses and peculiarities that could cause a panicked return to the physical body. If one overcomes this initial shock, they must then decide where to go and what to do.

Navigating the Astral Realm

It is recommended to visit a friend or relative in a nearby town. Visualize the person, their home, and the route to get there. This is a new experience of conscious travel, so it is best to follow familiar physical routes.

Leave the room with your sleeping body and go out onto the street. You will not be seen when traveling astrally. By visualizing the path, your astral body will take you to your destination much faster than any known means of transport.

With practice, you can travel anywhere – over seas, oceans, or mountains. All countries and cities are accessible.

Safety and Return

Concerns about not being able to return are unfounded; it is impossible to get lost, harm oneself, or have one's body taken over. If someone approaches your physical body while you are on an astral journey, the silver cord will send a warning, and you will be quickly drawn back to your body. Fear is the only danger. Experimentation will reveal that anything you wish for can be realized in the astral world.

In the astral realm, all colors are more vibrant, and you will see particles of life and vitality shimmering around you. However, you cannot take anything with you. Materializing yourself before a clairvoyant is possible but requires extensive practice.

The Return Process

To return, stay calm and think about your body. You might feel a rush of speed or instantly find yourself back in your room, hovering a meter above your body. Slowly descend until the two bodies synchronize. A smooth return will feel like sinking into your body, which will seem like a cold, heavy mass.

If synchronization fails or you are interrupted, you may experience a migraine-like headache. The best remedy is sleep or attempting to re-enter the astral state. The headache indicates that the bodies are not fully synchronized.

Post-Projection Sensations

Upon returning, the body may feel stiff, like putting on a suit that hasn't dried completely. This initial sensation of being back in the physical body is not pleasant. The vibrant colors of the astral realm will have dimmed, and many sounds heard astrally will disappear.

Purpose and Future

This is all part of learning and fulfilling your earthly purpose. Once your earthly task is complete, you will be free from the bonds of Earth and the physical body. When you leave the body permanently, the silver cord will break, and you will enter the astral world.

Conclusion

Practice and practice again. Stay free from fear, as there is nothing to fear. Nothing bad can happen, only joy.
