A Practical Guide to Astral Projection (Practical Guides to Spirituality)

What if the only thing separating you from leaving your body was a split-second of fear?

Millions of people have woken up one night unable to move, with a buzzing sound growing from within and the certainty that something extraordinary was about to happen. Almost all of them got scared. Almost all of them closed that door without knowing it had been open their entire lives.

This is a practical, warm, and honest guide for learning to have out-of-body experiences without distress. Because astral projection isn't out of anyone's reach due to lack of talent: it's out of reach due to lack of information. When you know exactly what you're going to feel, in what order, what each sensation is called, and—most importantly—how to always return safely, the unknown stops being scary. And then, finally, you cross to the other side.

In this book, you'll discover:

What out-of-body experience really is and why you don't need to believe in anything to practice it, whether you're a skeptic or a believer.
The only real obstacle—fear—finally treated seriously, with a foolproof emergency button and a step-by-step desensitization method so it never catches you off guard.
The complete sequence of sensations—the heaviness, the images, the buzzing, the vibrations, the paralysis, the liftoff—so that none of them ever scare you.
Why sleep paralysis, which terrifies so many people, is actually your best ally, and how to turn it into your exit door.
Classic techniques plus the most effective and lesser-known ones, those applied during the golden seconds of an early morning awakening.
What to do once you're out: how to move, how to stabilize your vision, how to last more than a few seconds, and how to return effortlessly.
A realistic thirty-day plan, a practice journal, and the truth almost no one tells you: what to do on the nights when nothing happens.

Written with warmth, rigor, and uncommon honesty, this book accompanies you from "this kind of freaks me out and I don't know where to start" to "I know what's going to happen tonight, I know what each thing is called, and I know how to come back."

The door was never closed. We just needed to turn on the light.
