Our ability to understand the cosmos is often limited by our ties to our physical bodies. We are confined to one location - one perspective - and becoming detached from it is a challenge. Astral projection is a great way to achieve this, but, unfortunately, it does not come easy to everyone. One step above lucid dreaming gives you better control of your thoughts and emotions and allows you to explore distant dreamscapes belonging to the physical, the astral, and the mental plane. Of course, to get anywhere, you will have to understand the basic postulates and practices necessary to succeed. BrainTap Pro outlines all of these pretty well, so we'd definitely suggest you download it first.

Before you rush into it, you have to understand that success won't happen overnight. Astral projection is something that requires a good deal of growth. After all, it is very much a spiritual pursuit - often tied to what mystics, sages, and those interested in ritual magic tend to focus on. Take your time and work towards having your first out-of-body experience. Make sure your mental state is under some sort of equilibrium. Meditate, go on a hike, work on realigning your chakras - whatever works to get you where you want to be.

There is, however, one thing that many practitioners will forget. We're talking about something that can make an enormous difference, not only on your spiritual journey but also for your mental health in general. Keeping a dream journal is definitely something you should consider. It will make the learning curve a bit less steep and allow you to thoroughly enjoy your journey into the higher realms. The path to self-discovery and enlightenment should, after all, be a happy one.
