Hi, I was wondering if you could give me some advice. My introduction to witchcraft about 4 years ago consisted of me looking into astral projection after I clicked on some cheesy unreliable blog post about it. Anyway, I became super interested and eventually became a full on practitioner of witchcraft with my main focus being dream magick. However, for 4 years of constant trying, I have not been able to astral project. I practice my meditation every day, but it doesn't work! Please help! Thanks
With astral work, there definitely has to be a little suspension of disbelief. It’s something a lot of people struggle with, embracing your intuition.
If you do the same meditation daily, it may be adding to the issue, it seems like you need to try something new to help break the cycle. Singing bowls, drums, white noise etc are all good recordings to help get in a trance like state. Try setting a timer for yourself start small like 15 minutes and work within that.
Get settled, get comfortable and cue your background noise. Start with feeling yourself in the present moment. How do you feel? What do you hear? Smell? What do your surroundings feel like?
Then move onto how things would feel if say, you stood up? Picture yourself standing, turning around, see yourself as you are and move within the space within your minds eye.
Astral starts at its base as if you’re day dreaming. The main difference is you control he beginning and middle and end of your journey. Walk outside, is it the same as the “real world” or are the surroundings different? Do you see a forest, how does it smell? How big are the trees? Do you hear any animals?
When you hear your timer go off, picture yourself moving back to your space, make a conscious effort to connect back to your senses, the feel of where you’re laying/sitting, the sound of the background noise, the scents of your room, and open your eyes.
That’s astral. It’s free wielding and going off instinct. Trusting what you see, hear etc as real. It may not be your reality your regularly function within, but it is real. I know it sounds weird, but it’s a lot simpler than you think. Most people struggle because they have these mental blocks “that’s not it, it’s different. It can’t be that simple. This must not be it. There’s something more I’m missing.”
As you go along, get more comfortable etc, go further, go for longer, see what you can do there you can’t do here. Things start to open up, you can go places, and start trusting your instinct more. If you have another witch to do this with, even an online friend, try it with them, compare your interactions, what’s different, and what’s the same? Go from there.
