Question

That sounds creppy.

Answer 1

Astral projection is an esoteric interpretation of a type of out-of-body experience that assumes the existence of an "astral body" separate from the physical body and capable of traveling outside it. Astral projection is experienced as being "out of the body".

Answer 3

I KNOW THIS ONE! and im only 14. but ive studied it alot. OK. astral projection is where your subconcious *idk how to spell it* mind, leaves  your pshyical body. so basically, say your layin in bed and you have an atral projection, you could see your body in bed, but you'd be across the room or something *this is totally different from a dream though* to achieve an astral projection OR an OOBE *out-of-body expierence* you must be completly relaxed.

Answer 4

Astral projection (or astral travel) is an esoteric interpretation of a type of out-of-body experience that assumes the existence of an "astral body" separate from the physical body and capable of traveling outside it. Astral projection is experienced as being "out of the body".

The idea of astral travel is rooted in common worldwide religious accounts of the afterlife  in which the soul's journey or "ascent" is described in such terms as "an...out-of body experience, wherein the spiritual traveller leaves the physical body and travels in his/her subtle body (or dreambody or astral body) into ‘higher’ realms."

There is little evidence for astral projection, and that which does exist rests mainly in subjective personal accounts of the experience. Hundreds of personal accounts of astral projection were published in a number of books through the 1960s and 70s in an effort to validate religious concepts of the soul and an afterlife. Because of their subjective nature, however, there are many plausible explanations that can account for these experiences which do not rely on the existence of paranormal, supernatural, or psychic activity.

Answer 5

I have seen it before...Blueish tone outline of a human like person.  In other words they look like a person but, more like a vision of a person.  I really did not know what it was.  The Lord told me that is a person astral projecting....Then I became aware that people actually do this.  It is creepy and I would not want to do it...I feel that people who practice crafts do this...

Answer 6

the alleged separation of spirit body and physical body.

where your spirit body goes out and explores the world and hopes that the physical body continues to survive so you will have a place to come back to.

Answer 7

The state of mind in which you can "move freely." You become part of the Astral Plane. Its like lucid dreaming, you can decide what you want to. Two things to know:

1. Astral Projection is NOT dangerous whatsoever.

2. You CANNOT get stuck

There is some controversey whether it is your "soul" leaving the body, or just part of your brain controling your thoughts.

I highly encourage you to try it, and if you dont like it, you dont have to do it.

Answer 8

It's when your soul leaves your body to travel elsewhere.  If Sylvia Browne is to be believed, we astral travel 3-4 nites a week and go to the other side.

Astral projection may be specifically when we intend to leave the body, as opposed to being astral like while dreaming, which is when SB says we travel to the other side.

Answer 9

ok its when you are physically in one place and you astral self is in another, this is better
