ASTRAL PROJECTION GUIDE

by Yvette A. LeBlanc

As a young child, many vivid dreams of jumping down my front-hall staircase without touching the stairs and floating over a grassy hill gave me a firm conviction that I was like Peter Pan and could fly. And guess what, we can all fly and I can tell you how to fly through astral projection.

During my mid-twenties, while giving myself self-hypnotic commands to relax, I very unexpectedly, while fully awake, floated above my body for a few moments. I was a sphere of energy and light and could see in all directions at once. This earth-shaking experience started my quest for knowledge and thirst for more such experiences. Due to the kindness of my spiritual guides, I have now had many exciting astral projection and inner-world adventures. I feel compelled to share this wisdom and my stories, both awesome and difficult, with you.

I now realize that physical life is a lot like a movie that we compose, produce, star in, and direct, but it is a temporary production. Our essence, beautiful light and energy, is permanent and the part of us that is capable of having an astral projection to many other realities. Our true being (who we really are) is usually located on the skin right between the eyes not even inside our heads. Our physical bodies are simply vehicles needed to experience the physical plane.

Astral projection can help eliminate a fear of death because, if you choose and ask for the wisdom, you will know for certain we are all eternal, each a single cell in the magnificent body of God.

It is my belief that each one of us, through our own free will, has created and then chosen this distorted physical existence to learn the lessons that only a belief in a beginning and an ending and that which is right and wrong can bring. I can think of no other reason. If you choose to find the truth through astral projection practice, you will learn we all have a vibrant, healthy existence apart from our physical reality which is only a very small part of us.

I know that time is an illusion because I have time-traveled backwards and been an active participant. I believe I have also traveled to the future, but it very easily could have been to another reality. Who can tell for sure?

As wicca also teaches, everyone willing to invest some time can easily and safely have many exciting astral projections. The amount of time needed varies from person to person depending on any natural ability. Sniffing glue, taking drugs, or eating hallucinogenic mushrooms is not only unnecessary but will cause distortions in your astral projection trip, and who knows what the health costs might be. By following the simple and direct methods I teach, you can journey to the astral counterparts of the past, present, and future and to other dimensions. My techniques involve deep breathing, asserting the positive, spiritual meditation, and visualization.

Astral projection is not an emptying of all your life force from your physical body and leaving behind a shell; if it were, you would not survive the trip. It is instead a separation. There is the part of you who needs to breathe quietly and stays behind and the part of you who leaves and has an adventure. You remain as safe as when asleep.

It is through deep, holy meditation and prayer that we can become blessed with the assistance of great spiritual beings. We need their help. When it comes to astral projection, you and I are in kindergarten; our guides, however, have their doctorates. We become volunteer work for these awesome higher beings. I can show you some easy and basic ways to get out of your body, but it is your guides who will take you on your astral adventures.

On a scale of one to ten, one being the projection that happens when you glance at something, ten being an astral projection that is just as real to you as things are right now while reading this book, of course, your goal is ten. It might be very easy for you or, like me, you might have to become determined and put some effort into it, but everyone can do this. When you reach seven, eight, or nine on that scale, you will have longer and more vivid flashes of other realities.

There are probably as many astral projection techniques as there are people who project; and you will also develop your own methods. However, you can learn a lot from what I and others have found on our pathways.

Sometime back in the 1960's, before I understood what LSD was, I took a metaphysical correspondence course. I found it very enlightening and after a while I dropped my guard. One day in the mail I received a little white pill from these people. I was very young and gullible. I actually thought it must be some special herb that was gathered at the time of the full moon. I swallowed it and laid myself down. Very shortly, without any effort, I had an astral projection to Medjugorje and viewed Mother Mary talking to some young people. She did not look in my direction. I was awe stricken to be in her presence, but I knew I was not welcome and did not belong there. I felt like an intruder. Believe me; it is so much more rewarding to have an astral projection without the use of drugs.

If you honestly believe you cannot do astral projection, this book is written for you. It gives extremely detailed instruction using some basic techniques designed for EVERYONE to succeed. I have also explained some pathways to build up confidence.

Aura viewing is also covered. It involves gazing into a mirror and seeing your astral and etheric light and your golden halo. You might also find sacred symbols embedded in your aura. You'll be amazed at how easy it is and at what you will see even on the first attempt.

If you can see your energy extending from your physical body, then you know you can float on top of it because a part of you does that all the time. An easy confidence-building technique is given where you could start by floating only your two feet upward. Looking at your own magnificent light and then floating above your physical expression are life altering astral projection experiences and prove you are indeed a child of God.

By following this guidance involving astral projection, I believe you will more fully understand why we’re here and how to benefit from the Earth experience. My beliefs and yours and everyone else’s can be so different and yet we all start and will eventually end at the very same place, the Godhead (which we really never leave, we just think we do). It’s good to understand these things so our attention is on the spiritual and not on the material. Just writing these words helps my focus.

You think you can’t do astral projection? I had those feelings once, so I can certainly relate. Follow my instructions, put in the necessary time, and you will find yourself projecting to wherever and whenever your focus dictates on the astral, etheric, and spiritual planes. Sometimes you’ll be real close to the physical, sometimes not.

All the techniques I teach are easy and basic. You can do these things if you really choose, but you need to put it on your “front burner” as far as your attention and time scheduling go. It’s a matter of building up and maintaining a momentum of spiritual energy. If you have problems, schedule your practice times closer together. If I haven’t done astral projection in a while, to gain the necessary momentum of energy, I schedule two or three sessions a day until projection just happens with my focus.

You can travel anywhere to any dimension or time you choose, because a part of you is already in every place and every time is really the present moment. If you persist you will discover this truth for yourself.

For me, and probably you, the length of each session depends on whether I fall asleep or whether an overwhelming burst of energy comes and wakes me back up to the physical. You’ll find your own pathway. And then, like me, you’ll probably feel compelled to share. I hope you do. I want to read your book.

This guidance for both astral projection and aura viewing and the accounts of many of my adventures were first written by me some years ago for a series of magazine articles that never materialized. I then sadly had other matters that took up most of my energy. When I decided to publish this material, to verify everything I said earlier, I started over as a beginner. I had to rediscover my own teachings, inspired by my spiritual guides, which led me to the most profound, intense and life changing experiences. It pains me to know that over time I abandoned this wisdom to concentrate on what is more mundane. This book is therefore written from both the teacher's and the student's perspective.

If you start to have visions and possibly hear voices, and you probably will if you regularly practice what's in this book, and if you change your mind and want them to stop, simply stop practicing the astral projection and aura viewing techniques, assert out loud that you wish them to stop, and they will then start to go away. However, just like it usually takes time to develop this ability, it could take some time for these interruptions to stop. So you are about to make a very serious, life-altering decision.

Part One of this book gives basic information in preparation for astral projection to the inner and outer astral worlds. Part Two gives many different concise and detailed instructions, leaving you with freedom to choose the pathway that is best suited for you. Part Three tells of my adventures, both spiritual and traumatic, so you will have an idea of what to expect. Part Four digs into the aura, etheric, and halo lights and contains a basic viewing technique which will give you tremendous confidence that you can leave the physical because a part of you already has. You will find my instructions are very concise with basic information and a multitude of techniques. I explain what you need to know, what to expect, and how to do it. This book is simple and direct.

I frequently ask for general guidance for the promotion of my writings. I am usually told that, since on the material side of life I already have the basics, the practical part should be of little use to me. This physical life that seems so important now will just fade into a dream later. What's important is that I write these astral projection techniques down so that I can remember and relate to them better. There are many other sources for this guidance for you my readers. Everyone is on his/her own pathway and will have the knowledge and guidance necessary always at just the perfect time. When I persist, they tell me that the outcome will be whatever I truly expect and desire it to be. I have to learn to either let go or ask very specific questions.

I have found over and over that the answers to my prayers come not only in lucid dreams (astral projection starting from the sleeping state) and inspiration but also in the form of events of the physical world. Sometimes these experiences can be very difficult to endure, but if analyzed carefully can turn into answers. It's why we're here, to learn.

In January of 2013 I wrote a paper designed to help those who were still having difficulties with astral projection. Then I incorporated these even easier techniques into this book. In March and May of 2014 I wrote further updates. In August of 2014 I sadly took down a book on lucid dreaming with more instruction for astral projection because it wasn't selling. I have included that information into this updated version. In 2015 I updated this material on a regular basis. It is now 2023 (time does go by real fast) and I want to share even more.

I hope you enjoy reading it. I certainly enjoyed writing it.

PART ONE, BASIC INFORMATION

DEFINITIONS

Ancient through present-day, metaphysical wisdom has come to us from many sources resulting in a slight semantic problem. Different experts and traditions occasionally have varied meanings for the same words. Because it can sometimes be confusing and distracting, I offer some brief definitions of words and phrases as used in this book pertaining to astral projection.

The following is my understanding; others might have different definitions and relate to things in their own ways. And you, too, will have your own approach to these mysteries, if you don’t already. It's difficult to label and explain because the boundaries of the astral and etheric worlds are not as clear as the physical plane.

The acronym “obe” stands for out-of-body experience. It’s just another term for astral projection. It basically means that part of you, your true being, will leave your physical body and travel in a sphere of energy to another reality, sometimes very close to the physical, sometimes far from it.

Everything that's alive has an etheric counterpart and can be experienced through astral projection techniques. You can sometimes see it as a white light extending about a couple of inches from one side when practicing aura viewing techniques. It has the same size and shape as the physical and is very closely connected to this plane. Sometimes if you stare at your head in the mirror, it can be seen as a whitish glow. I believe it is our ghost. Of all our nonphysical bodies, it can be viewed the most easily. However, it can get a bit confusing because it sometimes reflects the light of our aura, clothing, hair, and especially our golden halo. It’s confusing because it is explained quite differently by many different authors. This is my understanding.

The lower etheric plane as I understand it to be is a place where danger is usually found everywhere. If you have an astral projection while centered in your lower etheric body, you can and should raise your vibrations and change your trip for the better by looking upward and searching for vibrant rainbow colors and brilliant white light. It won’t be difficult. There is also a high etheric, a spiritual plane with awesome white light sparkling with flashes of rainbow colors. I consider it to be the very highest of heavens. This is where you can find unbelievably beautiful spiritual beings. A few times I have been so overwhelmed and so grateful to be in their presence I just trembled. If you look, you can also find your own Christ Self there. Some authorities label this plane instead as a high astral or spiritual plane. And, I believe, there are many etheric planes in between.

The astral plane is a vibration of life that is highly emotional and visiting it through astral projection can be a nightmare world of hell, a blissful journey to heaven, or one of many, many places in between. Normally, we project using an astral body, so we should expect to have emotional experiences. We possess different energies of all vibrations; and will, without realizing or making any effort, choose just the correct combination depending on the vibration of light needed for the journey.

Astral energy and life can sometimes be seen on the physical plane as flashes of different colored light and it sometimes blends with the etheric. It could reflect astral life beyond our comprehension, our own aura, our own positive or negative thought forms, positive or negative thoughts directed to us from others, the presence of the deceased, angels, guides, and on and on.

The borderland is a hallucinogenic plane between our reality and the astral and etheric worlds. It is where people intoxicated on alcohol or drugs visit. You can also create and then have an astral projection to this distorted place if your intentions are not righteous.

The word “chakra” comes to us from the Hindu and Buddhist teachings. Simply defined, they are swirling centers of energy and light located in the astral. Some place them in the etheric. It is widely accepted that there are seven major chakras and many minor ones. Four major chakras are located along the spinal cord: at the very bottom, at the points corresponding to the middle of the stomach, the bottom of the rib cage, and the very center of the chest. The next three are at the center of the throat, the middle of the head, and just outside the very top of the head. There are other teachings that say the heart chakra is located where the physical heart is located. If you choose, you can have an inner astral projection to any one of these locations.

Except for the throat chakra which, most experts agree, is colored blue, the colors vary from teacher to teacher. And there are many different beliefs pertaining to minor chakras as to their location, color and meaning.

PRACTICAL USE

I don't consider the astral projection experience to be physical-world accurate enough for scientific research nor for financial or stock market guidance. You would be trying to force the astral body to be in a realm where it is not designed to operate; doing so could create a borderland of illusion.

In an astral projection it is very difficult for the astral body to even think about a mundane task. From my experience, when you enter the astral plane, you'll be much more emotional than you usually are and will want to do things like flying and visiting other more interesting realms. Putting on your astral body is in some emotional ways like becoming a young child again.

Obviously, the best way to visit those who have passed on is through astral projection. You can even settle things by extending love and forgiveness or asking for it. Just keep in mind that the deceased, having a vibrant, very important life beyond our understanding, are not just hanging around up there waiting for our visits. And sometimes there is only a short period of time before they reincarnate. Of course, be careful not to encourage haunting. Contacting my parents has given me great comfort.

Personally, I don't think an astral projection should be used to locate a missing person or valued object. You might be very successful but then again your attempts could also do more damage than good, especially if you are emotionally involved. The physical body is designed to deal with the physical plane. When you use an astral vehicle, you might find what you expect to find and not what is there from the physical perspective. If I wanted to locate someone or something in physical reality, I would rely instead on dowsing techniques that incorporate the use of a map. There are some good books on that subject.

And, of course, astral projection is the way to time and dimension travel, to fly, and to visit an astral counterpart of a spirit or physical object or place. To do so is amazing and life altering.

DWELLER ON THE THRESHOLD

The following is my belief based on my own personal experiences and research.

In early lifetimes, most have committed evil deeds that would shock and hinder our progress if known about now in our more refined states. I know this because I have had some pretty horrendous astral projections. Unless you're a saint, this dark side is still with you and needs to be addressed. Made of the densest etheric matter and separated for the sake of our sanity, it still maintains some of our life force, has movement, and a separate but very closely linked intelligence. It has control over our negative thought forms and will tempt us at every opportunity.

We have probably all made much progress, but some lessons are still waiting, otherwise we would not be here on the Earth plane. With a fierce determination, this being holds us to the Earth and lower astral planes.

You can feel the pull of negativity on the physical, called gravity. An extremely holy person can walk on water and levitate because these energies have been conquered. Of course, there are teachings in the bible of Beloved Jesus walking on water. Tradition teaches that Saint Teresa of Avila (1515 – 1582) sometimes in deep meditation did not touch the ground but floated above. And I understand there are accounts of Hindu saints who have levitated and who knows might still be levitating.

The presence of the Dweller on the physical is also reflected in us through disease and death. With me sometimes I have intense cravings for food that I know is not healthy and will do me damage.

On the astral or emotional plane, this pull is called by such names as depression, anxiety, anger, guilt, fear, etc.

The Dweller wants us to fail because then the separation diminishes and it gains dominion; the holier we become the less power it has and considers that its death. It wants us to exist only in the lower astral plane where it can gain total control, the state of existence called hell, where it becomes our tormenting devil.

When you are very relaxed and ready to have an astral projection, do not be surprised if at least one time you will receive a visit from the Dweller. Even though it sometimes presents itself as a very ugly monster, if we understand it, it should not be feared; it's part of us. It could use a multitude of ploys: for instance, just before an astral projection, it's a common occurrence to hear clear voices saying things like: “There's a fire in the house.” “Your children are in danger.” After you have responded several times by getting up and checking, you will find, if you pay no further attention, the ploy will stop.

We all have temptations to overcome that act as anchors to the Earth plane. Meditation and astral projection force us to deal with them. Organized by the Dweller, these weaknesses exist on the lower astral plane and try to prevent us from progress. They are called negative thought forms and have a life, color and form; they are alive and very confused. Mentally send them light and they will be transformed into energies that will lead to higher planes instead. They usually appear as snakes like mine have.

Once in a great while, for our own good, our guides allow us to see these negative thought forms during an astral projection which does not mean we're on a bad trip. It's good to view our own negativity in this manner, even though it is shocking. It helps to give us the whole picture. I have found such visions help combat negative temptations. I suggest you simply accept any such experience for the lesson it is meant to be. However, if you are on such a trip, and want it to stop, say “no” out loud and move your physical fingers and toes. Any such astral projection will then stop immediately.

During one of my visions I saw my negativity appear to me as a three-headed snake. One of the heads mouthed the very words that were traveling through my head at the time. (I was trying to talk myself out of doing my daily meditation.) Believe me that vision has helped me a lot to understand and overcome. On an astral projection adventure, if you feel you are part of the negative energy, end your trip immediately. If you are watching it from a distance with your guides, that's a whole different story and my advice is to trust your guides.
