Astral Travel!
By Angela McIlveen

Looking for a fresh perspective on life? Uncover your potential to Astral Travel! The Astral plane is an amazing world – a place that offers a new outlook on life, the hope of something more and the inspiration to achieve greater things that are beyond what we can currently imagine. You may have heard about lucid dreaming, other dimensions, out-of-body experiences and parallel worlds. These are not mere science fiction, but a reality for those who voyage beyond the limitations we have set for ourselves and who are willing to try something new.

Many times, you may have found yourself looking up at the night sky, wondering what it would be like to travel through space, or look back at the earth from another planet. Perhaps you had a deep longing to know what really happened in the past and discover what history books could never tell you. There may have been times in life, where you wanted to know more about who you really are, and why you are here. For many people, these seem like nothing more than vague hopes and dreams, but in the Astral plane, we can experience the answers as a living reality.

Scientists have already begun to discover the existence of parallel dimensions due to the unpredictable behavior of particles, in the field of quantum physics and mechanics. What they haven't discovered yet however, is that each of us has the ability to travel in these other dimensions, and that in fact we exist within them as life itself is multi-dimensional.

But there is no need to wait for science to prove what we can prove for ourselves. Each of us has already traveled in the Astral plane, which is part of another dimension, and we do so every night when we sleep. This is because the Astral is the place where all our dreams occur. You may remember a very vivid dream which felt like it happened in a real location and that left you with a strong feeling when you woke up, which you may still recall to this day. In these times we can catch a glimpse of the Astral world, and even participate in a real event that happened there. You may have also experienced flying or seeing something in a dream that later came true in your life. Defying the laws of gravity and seeing the future are all things you can do in the Astral.

Usually when we go to sleep however, we are unaware of what happens after we do, and wake in the morning recalling a few dreams if any, in which bizarre and nonsensical events took place – a mish-mash of our day and all the extremes of it we experienced. However, with different techniques we can actually become aware of the whole process of falling asleep and lift up out of our physical body, entering the Astral consciously while our body goes to sleep.

Then the amazing possibilities of the Astral are open to us. Usually with dreams we don't realize that we are in them, and so we never think to explore what lies around us. When we go there consciously however, through Astral Travel, we know that we are there and can make decisions about what we would really like to do.

Imagine the feeling of waking up after having just stood at the edge of the galaxy or flown over the Great Pyramids of Egypt. These types of experiences are ways in which we can completely change the way we both see and live life. These times can become an inspiration and motivation to seek out more than just what everyday life has to offer – indeed to seek out the answers to many things that are beyond what we can get in the physical world.

Although these things may sound incredible, everyone has the potential to be successful at Astral Travel. It is simply a process of practice and learning like all things in life – but a process in which you can gain many new insights not only into other dimensions but into the mystery of what life is for, and who we are. The Astral is only the beginning point of a journey in which we can uncover just how great our potential truly is.
