ruction for astral projection.
Begin by calling your guide or guardian to protect you from harm during
this trip. As you do this, you should either hear a voice or see a face
in your mind. Speak directly to your guide, and ask it for protection and guidance. Once you are assured of their protection you can procede with the next step.
RELAXATION
The easiest way to place yourself in a deep state of relaxation is to
first begin with your toes. Visualize a soft warm light moving slowly
through your toes until it engulfs your feet. As each part of your body
becomes submerged in the warm light, allow it to go completely limp.
Visualize each body part turning to mist. When you are done relaxing,
you should visualize yourself as pure mist. Moving Away From The Physical Body. Because you are no longer solid, it will be possible for you to move away from your physical form. If this is your first time, try to stay inside a boundary, such as your home. When traveling to the astral plains, one can encounter many things which only an experienced traveler will know how to handle. Visualize your misty form seperating from your physical form. Don't be alarmed if you see a cord that attaches you to your body. This is a line that can bring you back if needed. Only a very experienced traveler should disengage this cord. For the beginner, it is important to leave it attached. The cord will lengthen itself to suit your travels, so drift as much as you like within your set boundaries. When you are ready to return, simply will yourself gradually back to your body. Allow a moment to think earthly thoughts and then open your eyes.
TRAVEL WITH FAMILIARS
For extra protection, it is nice to have your familiar along.
The only thing you need to do is communicate your desire to travel
to your familiar. Animals travel the astral plains constantly, and are
more than happy to accompany you. They often make excellent guides.
To communicate your desire, look deep into your familars eyes, and
concentrate. Stroke them soothingly. Soon they will lay down, and that
will be your signal that they are ready to begin. If you are a novice,
and your familar seems unwilling to travel, give them time. Sometimes
we doubt our own abilities, and our familiars can sense this. After you
have traveled several times on your own, your familiar will most likely
be happy to join you.
JOURNAL
It is imperative that you document your travels in a journal. You are the one who will benefit from this. As you travel, make note of everything you see. Upon your return, write every detail in your journal. As you become more experienced at astral travel, this record will be invaluable. It will serve as your future guide.
GIVE THANKS
Always remember to thank your guide or guardian for their protection.
It is also nice to say a prayer of thanks to the Cerridwyn. Remember that without the Lord and Lady, we are adrift in a sea of
uncertainty.
