AP / Astral Realm

Greetings everyone! It's been requested that I write a thread pertaining to the subject of AP (Astral projection) and that of the Astral Realm. I hope that you all benefit from this information as you excel within the art of magick. Thank you!

P.S. Please read all of the information within this forum. Do not skip around due to the fact that if you decide to skip to the part of how to Astral Travel within the Astral Realm, you'll miss information on how to protect yourself, prepare yourself, ect.

First things first: What is the Astral Realm?

The Astral Realm is in a sense a non-physical world that when traveled to, increases magickal abilities dramatically. This is where the magickal beings rely that we can't see, such as Dragons, fairies, angels, demons, nymphs, spirits, ect.

Some people are led to believe that magick comes from the astral realm/plane, while others believe it comes from the Earth, but still there are others that believe that magick comes from both. It is your choice of what you belief.

Now, within the astral realm is where one's magickal abilities are built. one may go into the astral realm and build it there personally or one may perform magickal within the physical world and have it build within the non-physical world: the astral realm automatically. However, as I've stated before: It's more powerful within that of the Astral Realm.

There are many varying beliefs of what exactly the astral realm is. For instance, some people belief that it's the meeting point between Earth and Heaven, the astral spheres within within the stars that one goes through before birth and after death, ect.

Now, before I tell you exactly how to travel into that of the astral realm/plane, I desire to warn you of the dangers that exist within. As stated above, there's a plethora of magickal beings within the astral realm/plane, both good and bad, similar to every living being within the physical world.
The bad ones will attempt to inflict anything negative upon you while your within this specific place, such as curses, bindings, stealing fragments of your soul, ect. This happens if you're in the wrong place at the wrong time. However, it's best to be prepared to enter it.

Ways that you can prepare yourself before entering the non-physical world are:

(1) Cleansing of the chakras - This allows all of your energy that relates to being stable, sexual, energenic, loving, audiable, intuition, clairvoyance, and many other things to be re-charged, ready for action.

(2) Grounding and Centering - This allows one to receive more energy from the earth, so that they may use it for their own purposes, which in this case is traveling within the Astral Realm/Plane. Also, since it allows one to connect to the earth at a higher level, it will allow one's self to travel back to their physical body quicker if they're ever in danger, or another circumstance confronts one's self to make them do so.

(3) Meditation - Provides energy, insight, allows one's spirit animals to connect with the person on a higher level, so as to warn them if it's currently dangerous at that time or of something of another importance.

(4) Physical health, along with nutritional and vitamin intake, so that you can endure certain pains if something happens to you.

(5) Experience - The more experience one has, the better they'll be at it. (Enough said)

(6) Protection spells - This one should seem pretty obvious to you.

One more note before we get into how to travel within that of the Astral Realm/Plane: When speaking about traveling within the Astral Realm/Plane, we say AP. The reason for this is (1) it's short for Astral Projection and (2) it confuses those know aren't involved within magick. For instance, I'm within AP (Advanced placement) classes, so they think that I'm speaking about the classes, when in truth I'm speaking about Astral Projection with my friends who are also involved within magick at my school. (However, I do speak about my AP classes though. Lol)

Now, onto how to AP:

There are many methods of how to AP. I'm going to give two of the simplest ways I know of how to AP that will prove to be beneficial to beginners within this subject.

(1) The Rope Method - Lay down on a flat surface (Preferably a bed) Imagine that there is a rope above you and you reach for it with your non-physical body. (You may do this with your eyes open, or through that of your third eye chakra. I myself perform this with the third eye, but one needs to open it, practice with it and cleanse it daily for it to be at it's best)
Once your hand has a firm grip on the rope, you image that it is slowly pulling you up out of your body, until your completely out of it and look back at your body, so that you may tell yourself that this is o.k.

(2) The Rolling Method - Perform the same actions within that of method one, except you need to take out the part about the rope and imagine that you slowly roll out of it.

Before you start to perform these methods, you will want to practice a little, so that you get the jist of it by imaging that your phsyical hand is leaving your body and is coming back to it after reaching out a few feet away from yourself.

Some people have a natural talent to this, but if you don't you going to want to practice. Keep in mind that this requires patience, diligence, persistance, faith, little or no fear, ect.

Thank you for reading and may this benefit you to the fullest.

Sincerely: Strong Heart

I've tried AP in the past. I've managed to get myself into a disoriented and floaty kind of feeling, but I can't seem to get past this point. I think I need to work on my concentration.

In any case I don't have time for AP these days. There's so much going on at school and my offline coven lately that I don't have much left for my magickal practice.

Well, if anything, it's good to obtain at least 30mins of meditation daily. This will allow your energy to remain at a good level. If you have more time than this, you may daily cleanse your seven basic chakras. If you have more time still, you may work on the basic types of magick just to make sure that you don't lose the experience that you have within magick.

For those who don't have that much time throughout their days, it's quite simple to incorporate magick into your daily life. For instance, you may meditate three times a day for 10mins each time for an overall of 30mins. It usually takes about 5mins max to cleanse each individual chakra pertaining to the seven basic ones (root-crown), so I'd advise doing each one seperately for 5mins each and working your way from the bottom up whenever you have more time.

All of this accounts for 1hour and 5mins of one's daily life. Magick is something that requires one to submit work into, so if you don't have time to submit towards this practice, than you're most likely not going to advance within this specific practice.

As stated above, anyone may break their practice down or group them together for their individual time needs within their days. I usually meditate for 30mins diretly after getting up and sometimes before going to sleep. I'm attempting to get into the habit of meditating before going to sleep. However, my living conditions makes it quite difficult. I understand that everyone has their own individual needs and I hope that the above information helps them within that of their practice of magick for the better.

Sincerely: Strong Heart

Another thing that I'd advise for people who are currently experiencing time issues within their daily practice of magick is to learn decent time spells. There are spells that allow the caster to speed up or slow down time within their own perception. This proves evident to be most helpful for me within my own practice and I hope that it helps others as well.
