20 Astral Projection Myths Busted

READ DO NOT SKIP.

There are a lot of misconceptions about Astral Projection floating around online and offline. Many of them scare people into thinking Astral Projection is dangerous. I'm speaking from experience when I tell you there is absolutely nothing to fear. Let us go through some of the common misconceptions and shed some light on them. - themindunleashed

Myth 1: Astral Projection is very rare.

Truth: Astral Projection is a very common phenomenon indeed. Five to ten percent of the world's population has experienced a conscious out of body experience at least once. This means around 6 million people in the U.K, or as much as 30 million people in the United States.

Myth 2: Astral Projection is always spontaneous. You cannot learn it.

Truth: You can learn to Astral Project at will. There are countless techniques that teach you how to have an OOBE. Since every individual is different, no particular technique is best for everybody. You have to find out which method is best for you. Just like anything in life, you have to practice and get good at it.

Myth 3: Not everyone can learn to Astral Project. It is only for a select few.

Truth: Anyone can Astral Project but it requires some practice, consistency and open-mindedness. Just like you learn to walk, ride a bicycle or swim, Astral Projection is a skill you need to learn.

Myth 4: Only adults can Astral Project because they are more mature.

Truth: Age is never a factor in Astral Projection. It's a fact that children Astral Project more than adults. The reason is that children are innocent and they believe everything is possible, so they achieve Astral Projection more easily. We adults do not believe everything easily. The more we are open-minded and start believing, the easier it is to Project. Age in itself is never a roadblock for Projection; the only hindrance is your level of belief.

Myth 5: Astral Projection is not safe.

Truth: Astral Projection is a natural experience reported in every culture and society of the world. It is safe for most people but anyone who has acute psychological problems should avoid it.

Myth 6: It takes several years to achieve a conscious Astral Projection.

Truth: Since every individual is different, no one can guarantee how long it may take. Some achieve it on the first try and others do not achieve it even in two years! But if tried consistently, about 30 days is a fair enough time to experience at least one projection.

Myth 7: It is possible that you may not be able to get back into your physical body.

Truth: Every night when we sleep, our Astral body is out of our physical body. We are just not conscious about it. During Astral Projection, we are aware of the fact that we're in another dimension. Since after every night's sleep we can easily get back into the body, we can do the same after Astral Projection too. The surprising fact is that it is difficult to stay out of the body. Getting back into your body is instant and automatic. Your Astral Body is connected to your physical body by a Silver Cord, which ensures that you can always get back in.

Myth 8: You can get possessed during Astral Projection.

Truth: This is a very common question in most people's minds, but there is no danger of being possessed by other entities. Your Astral Body is attached to your physical body by a Silver Cord. No one else can sever it and enter your body. (Let me be extra clear here.. You are perfectly safe while astral projecting. You are safe because entities need physical matter to tether to, and while projecting you have no physical matter they can tether to. Possessions ARE a possibility when you are in your body. That is why Seances and Ouija boards can be quite dangerous. Because you're actually calling entities to you when you're in your physical body.)
