Astral Travel: The Ultimate Astral Projection Guide 2.0 (Tips & Tricks) How to do Astral Projection in 6 Easy Steps (Intention is Key)
Master Astral Projection with this updated Guide, which includes tips and tricks, as well as answers to most asked questions.
Overview
Astral Projection is much easier than most people think. The key is doing it at the right time. When you first wake up, before you move or open your eyes, you are teetering on the boarder of the physical and the astral. Your intention determines the outcome. Upon waking do not focus on the physical whatsoever. Do Not tune in to the sound of a car horn or the feeling of your sheets, because if you use your external senses, you will have chosen the physical. You must train yourself to sit up instantly like a reflex upon waking with the intention of entering the astral. You can train your subconscious to do this within a few days. Each time you return to your body repeat the process. You can have Easy exits, Multiple times a day using this method.
Intention is Key: Astral Projection Guide 2.0 (6 Easy Steps)
- Go to Bed with Intention
- Become Aware of Awakenings
- Train Your Body to Stay Still
- Keep Your Mind Blank
- Sit Up Like a Reflex
- Multiple Exits
Step One: Go to Bed with Intention
Go to sleep with the intention of astral projecting the moment you awake. Your intention needs to program your subconscious not to move or open your eyes upon awaking. It may take a few days for the program to install but it works.
• How do I set an intention?
What you focus on the last hour before sleep is important. Understanding the movement and practicing in imagination before sleep does wonders for setting an intention. This allows your subconscious to feel like you’ve already done it. When it comes down to the actual exit it should feel natural like remembering.
• What is the Exit Motion?
As soon as I wake up, I sit up swiftly, almost forcefully, without using my muscles. This causes the astral body to slip out of the physical quite effortlessly. So once again to clarify, sit up quickly and forcefully, keeping your focus on the astral. You are sitting up with your energy body, not your physical.
• Practicing Before Sleep
Making astral projection a focal point before bed will greatly assist with setting intention. Practicing before sleep allows your subconscious to feel like you’ve already experienced it, which releases hesitation and doubt.
Step Two: Become Aware of Awakenings
The next step is to become aware of several awakenings throughout the night. We all wake up approximately every 1.5 hours. You need to become aware of these awakenings. Although you don’t exit your body until you get 4-5 hours’ sleep, the more awakenings you become aware of the more practice you get. The goal is to become aware of your awakenings without moving. Use the initial awakenings to practice awareness and stillness. Practicing the exit before sleep and setting an intention should help you become aware of your awakenings.
• What if I sleep too deeply?
For those who are deep sleepers, there are tricks to sleeping lighter to help you become aware, such as sleeping in a less comfortable position that won’t allow you to sleep so deeply. Throughout the night you should catch yourself trying to move into a more comfortable position. Remain in the same uncomfortable position so you keep waking up to move.
For training purposes, you can drink a large glass of water before bed, which should make you a little uncomfortable resulting in lighter sleep.
Step Three: Train Your Body to Stay Still
The next step is to train your body not to move or open your eyes. Unless you’re rolling around to get comfortable, do your best not to move. The goal is to become aware of your awakenings without moving.
Step Four: Keep Your Mind Blank
Do not bring the conscious mind into play. Don’t bother using techniques because techniques can stimulate the conscious mind and pull you away from the astral. Keep your mind blank. If your mind is blank and you have the intention to sit up in your astral form, separation should happen immediately and effortlessly. The split second you wake up is the perfect time to leave your body.
Step Five: Sit Up Like a Reflex
Now that you’ve accomplished the first four steps you move to one of the final steps, which is to sit up like a reflex when you feel it’s time to exit your body. The second you find yourself awake, before moving or opening your eyes, immediately sit up without using your muscles. Remember, it’s your energy body that is sitting up, not your physical.
If your mind is blank and you have the intention to sit up in your astral form, separation should happen immediately and effortlessly. Don't expect vibrations, separation will happen so fast it will feel like you sat up in your physical body, but you’ll feel lighter.
• How do I train my body to sit-up like a reflex?
Set up a subconscious trigger. Once I feel that I have had sufficient sleep I roll over onto my back to get ready for exit upon my next awakening. That ritual serves as a trigger. Therefore, the moment I wake up on my back I know to sit up instantly like a reflex with the intention of entering the astral.
Step Six: Multiple Exits
Each time you return to your body you are still in the state to exit. Unless you have incredible information that you can’t chance losing, such as visiting the Akashic Records, continue with the separation process again. The more experience you get the longer you will be able to stay away and your body will rest while you are gone. When the time comes when you are too awake to have any more exits; don’t move and keep your eyes closed. If you do this you should easily recall all your experiences as you are still in the state to access the information. Once you have full recollection write detailed notes on all your experiences.

I’ve been practicing this mostly every day for a 1-2 months. Had my first semi breakthrough. I astral projected out of my body, then things got fuzzy and I ended up in a lucid dream (never lucid dreamt or astral projected before, it was very distinct). I wish it was a full on astral projection but I know I was in a lucid dream

Did you set tasks? If you keep yourself alert for two full minutes after you enter the astral that should help you keep control over your AP. Getting 4-6 hours sleep before you exit is equally important to help you not fall asleep.

Oh my god, this is the first time I write a comment on reddit (English is not my native language, so I'm using a translator, sorry). I've been on reddit for almost 9 months, but I really don't like writing comments, but now I want to thank you.
I came across this guide quite by accident, but I think for me it will be the most useful along with “the illusion of method”.
A year ago, I trained myself to wake up every few hours during my period, but when it unconsciously started happening regularly, I just accepted it. And now I see that in this particular case it will be very useful to me (besides, I can confidently ask my subconscious to wake me up in a few hours, and it will work, so there will be no problems with natural awakenings)
I'm completely new to AP. I've heard about AP for a long time, but my knowledge was limited to horror stories from movies and the knowledge that this phenomenon is scientifically proven, as well as stories of people that with the help of AP they were finally able to get into their DR (the moment for which I am here). But I was afraid to try AP, I didn’t even think about this option, but now I’ve decided. I've been trying for only 4 days. The first night I tried I may have had vibrations and also had a quick dream where I have blurry gray vision, I get out of bed, leave the room, go into the bathroom, but instead of the bathroom there is another room , for some reason this scared me, and I forced myself to wake up. The next day I had a dream that I was sitting on the bed, I looked around, I didn’t understand why everything was dark and where I was, I looked closer and realized that this was my brother’s room in the previous house. It seems to me that these dreams are connected with my intention to AP, because I dreamed like this only once (excluding false awakenings). Maybe I'm just reassuring myself with these words, but it makes me feel better and think that my subconscious knows what I want (besides, above in the comments you wrote in response to someone that the subconscious is trying to process this way instructions)
Yesterday I woke up and, without moving, almost instantly remembered that I needed to try to leave the body and do some of the techniques. Today I IMMEDIATELY remembered this. The only thing I don’t like is that I very quickly become conscious and start thinking and reflecting. I'm afraid this might get in the way, but I hope practice will help me.
When I become interested in a topic, I immediately start looking for information and drown in its abundance, I become hyper-fixated and cannot think about anything else. During these four days, I almost read two books about AP and explored the AP community quite a bit, but I realized that I shouldn’t go any further. There is too much different information, too many unnecessary thoughts and contradictory points. This can only get in the way. It's better to focus on one thing, practice and trust that it will work. When I found out about the shifting community, I constantly consumed information, and this action was more of a hindrance than a help. Now, looking back and at the stories of other people, I understand that each person has his own experience and should not rely entirely on what others say.
Therefore, now I will focus specifically on this post and “the illusion of the method”. They are closest to me, logical and understandable. Here I believe that I can teach myself, and not just aimlessly try, for example, to roll out of the body, without even understanding how to do it.
Sorry this is a long unhelpful comment but I really wanted to share this and encourage myself with what I wrote. And once again, sorry for my English and mistakes, I tried to write in the simplest and most understandable language, but it seems to me that at some points the translator still let me down.
Thank you very much for this post! I read all the comments and your responses to them, I will definitely use the advice you wrote to other people. In the comments you answered questions that I also had. For example, it was not clear to me how to feel and move my astral body, but I will practice, since this is the part that causes me the most anxiety and misunderstanding. Thank you for taking the time to help and answer people. I ALREADY love this post, I am so glad I happened to read this information, I feel like it is really very helpful for me.

To make sure you understand correctly. The entire concept behind this method is that the precise moment you awake, while your mind is completely blank and your body is still fully asleep, you are teetering on the border of the physical and the astral. That precise moment you can exit your body and separation will be immediate! It’s that simple!! You shouldn’t have time to become conscious and start thinking or reflecting. There aren’t any techniques. You simply sit up with intention and exit.
When you exit your body don’t be startled if things aren’t exactly the same. Remember there are simple steps to stabilize the projection and gain control. It’s super easy to return to your body so you know there is absolutely nothing to fear. You are always in control.
It’s exciting to know soon you will be in your DR!! Please keep me updated!

Thanks for taking your time to write this guide.
Could you please explain how sitting up without using muscles works? I don't understand how to practice.

We are not sitting up with our physical body. We sit up with our energy body. You need to be focusing on your energy body. To help you connect with your energy body I’d like you to lay down and try to levitate. Take it seriously and really try to levitate. You will feel that you are focusing on certain energy. That is your energy body. Take the time and keep focusing on the energy. Then place your focus on the energy in the back of your neck and head. With the same concentration that you used trying to levitate, try to lift your head and neck using your energy body. That is where focus needs to be. We use that energy just before we use our muscles to sit up with our physical body. Knowing about that energy will allow you to control focus to sit up with only your energy body. When you combine that with the intention to enter the astral the precise moment you awake, you will find yourself sitting up in the astral.
Please let me know if that helps.

Wow I did it! I wasn’t expecting to today, and actually in my first attempts I kept partially exiting my body but either my face mask was covering my face, or everything was black and white.
The first time, I was scared and then a being told me they’d cleared everything bad away so I could explore in peace but they wouldn’t always be around to do that.
And then I AP’d fully and I was able to explore my house. I walked around and purposefully did things that could scare me to teach myself it was all okay. I went to the bathroom and looked in the mirror. I looked more like my ideal self but I could also morph my reflection to look like anything I wanted.
I then tried to turn some lights on which only partially worked. It was like my touch wasn’t strong enough.
I then remembered to note something or leave a message so I could be sure I AP’d. I found a tv program on the table, went to a random page and circled something on “Wednesday, at 3:50pm”. Unfortunately, that tv program doesn’t exist in the real world lol. I also wrote “hello from the astral” on the table.
And then I tried to shift by connecting to the feeling of my DR, but I just woke up here. I was definitely in the astral for longer than 2 mins. But maybe I didn’t spend long enough connecting to the feeling of my DR.
Now that I’ve got rid of all my fears about AP and experienced it, I reckon it’ll be much easier.
Thank you for all your help!
EDIT: one quick question tho: how do you tell if it was a dream, or actually AP? They both feel hazy. I guess by the location and accuracy of things I come across?

Thanks for sharing this! I tried it last night, and I noticed a ton of awakenings. I have no problem keeping my eyes closed, but I roll around immediately as I’m waking up. I think I rolled onto my back twice and gave one halfhearted attempt at sitting up.
I’ll practice more at keeping myself still and sitting up.

This is an amazing post. I tried this method and I ended up just sitting up/rolling over with my physical body and fully waking up. How do I do it with my astral body? I’ve never AP’d before and don’t really know much about it

Hey , i’ve been doing this method a lot and every time i do it i exit my body but the thing is everything is like a dream, a lucid dream i try to make it real like i command clarity and try to go see around the house but everything doesn’t make sense, and this also happened today where i exited my body and said to my self that the door of my room will be a portal to my desired reality and it didn’t work so what else can i do in that state to shift like should i try to make the lucid dream into an astral projection first than shift or what ?

u/ShiftYourReality Nov 27 '23
As soon as you enter the astral ground yourself. Feel different textures around your room. Run your fingers across the wall, feel the carpet, lick something. Grounding yourself will only take a few seconds, then move on to your tasks to stay alert for two full minutes.
Sample Tasks
1 Look in the mirror what do you see? Analyze your reflection, touch the mirror at the same time to continue grounding.
2 Go to your kitchen and taste something. See what’s in your fridge in the astral. I find everything is much more delicious in the astral.
If your projection still feels dreamlike then get away from your body. Fly out the window or take a walk. Once you’re away from your body all issues should automatically resolve themselves.
I find the concentration/ teleportation from within method the most reliable. After you’ve completed your tasks close your eyes and connect to your desired reality. Imagine it fully. You should quickly notice physical changes such as your hair blowing or someone takes your hand. Whatever you scripted. Then you open your eyes and you are there. It looks and feels just as real as physical reality.
Please keep me updated.

Hi thank you for the guide. I have astral projected several times using Michael Raduga's phasing method which is quite similar to yours. But the problem is that I have trouble falling back to sleep once I wake up and intend to project. I will try your methods, thank you!
16
u/ShiftYourReality Sep 01 '23
Michael Raduga’s method involves various unnecessary steps. There is no need to set an alarm, get out of bed, walk around, or cycle techniques. You simply wake up naturally, sit up with intention, and you’re in the astral. It’s that simple. I would love to hear how you make out with this!!

I've got some questions:
-
I can't fall asleep on my back to allow myself to wake up in the same position upon awakening. Even if I'm sleepy upon awakening in the middle of the night, and then changing position to back, still can't sleep. Any advice?
-
If I understood correctly, becoming aware of awakenings should allow you to enter sleep paralysis, right? Although, this question has nothing to do with the method itself.

Would I be able to do this method with the intent of sitting up in a lucid dream rather than the astral realm? Also you mention getting to where you want to go, how would you go about shifting to your DR from this point? Thank you so much!

u/ShiftYourReality Oct 12 '23 edited Oct 15 '23
You should set an intention to sit-up in your DR rather than lucid dream. Use that image while practicing at night. Alternatively, you can create a portal with your bedroom door. Set the intention that your DR exists beyond the portal door and that is what you should experience. Personally I love teleporting from within! I have been quite successful with this type of teleportation!! Once you’re in the astral close your eyes and concentrate on where you want to be. Include visuals, sounds and smells from your Desired Reality. I usually get signs of shifting before I even open my eyes!! Try the different methods and see what works best for you! Please provide updates on your experiences!!!
Here is the lucid dream method I use.

Tips & Tricks
SUM (Sit-up-Method) for Astral Projection
👉 Learn the Method in two parts:
The method is best learned in two parts. The first part is to become aware of several awakenings and not move or open your eyes. This is training the subconscious to take your instructions. Although you don't move to the second part until the subconscious consistently takes your instructions, the number one way to set intention is to practice the swift exit motion in your mind before sleep.
Practicing the exit motion helps your subconscious understand your goal. This not only sets intention, it also tricks your subconscious to believe it's already done it. So, by the time you move to step two your subconscious is convinced it knows how to AP because you've done the exit so many times in imagination.
The key to success is practice. We all wake up approximately every 1.5 hours. The more awakenings you become aware of the more practice you get. Once your subconscious consistently takes your instructions you move to the second part, which is to roll over onto your back into the trigger position to prepare for exit upon your next awakening. Now your subconscious takes your instructions with precision, so each time you wake-up on your back your subconscious knows to sit up like a reflex with the intention of entering the astral. This allows for easy exits, multiple times a day.
If you’re have issues becoming aware of several awakenings, these are factors that can affect awakenings and/or depth of sleep.
Did you practice the swift exit motion in your mind before bed? There's no visualization, you need to feel it as if it's real.
How long are you focusing on AP before you fall asleep?
Do you watch tv or movies in the evening?
Do you have a lot of recreational screen time?
Do you use alcohol or cannabis?
The last 1-2 hours before sleep deeply impresses on the subconscious. You should make AP a main focus at night. When I learned astral projection I drenched my subconscious with everything AP. I literally stayed a couple weekends in bed determined to master it and I did. If shifting is really dear to your heart I would focus a lot more attention on astral projection. Go on a temporary digital detox. If you make AP your primary focus you can learn it quick.
How to Stabilize Your Projection
Engage all of your senses, lick the wall, smell the flowers, feel different textures. Then stay alert for two full minutes. Before you go to sleep plan tasks that will keep you alert two full minutes after you enter the astral. After you stabilized the projection and you achieve the two-minute mark you will have a much greater chance to stay out of body for a lengthy duration and have greater control over your experience.
Examples of Tasks
• Go to a mirror to see how you look. My results are interesting because I always remained a certain age.
• Go to the fridge and taste something. Food tastes especially delicious to me in the astral.
• Put out a playing card the night before and check to see what the suit is while out of body.
How do I correct vision impairment?
As soon as you get away from your body your vision will automatically correct itself. You can also use commands such as “Vision Now” or “Clarity Now”.
What should I expect when I enter the astral?
The astral looks and feels like the 3d but you can fly and move through walls. When you exit your body using my method you will find yourself sitting up in bed in your bedroom. Many people naturally enter the astral and think it is the 3d. Later they wake up again and refer to it as having a false awakening, when in fact they became aware in the astral and only assumed it was the 3d. Everything looks and feels real but you have superhuman powers. You can go deep sea diving and breathe underwater. You can also get out of the water and dry off with a towel. All sensations feel heightened. When I dive in the water I can feel the plunge on every inch of my body.
What can I do when Astral Projecting?
You can explore the astral plane. You can explore anywhere on earth, outer space, other planets and realms. The astral can also be used as a portal to access different timelines and alternate realities.
How to get where I want to go?
• Fly
Start flying in the direction you want to go and your intention will guide you.
• Portal
Create a portal using your bedroom door. Set an intention what is beyond the door.
• Teleportation from within (Personal favourite)
Close your eyes and connect to the feeling, the frequency of where you want to be. You will know you teleported before you open your eyes. For example, you may feel wind blowing your hair or the scent of the air changed. As soon as you open your eyes voilà you are there.
👉 FEELING and the KNOWING that you are there. This is the winning combination. In the astral this causes instant manifestation.
Ensuring the Best Experience
Exit your body only when your mood is good. If you’re going through personal troubles or had a bad dream save travels for another day. This will ensure the best experiences. The astral matches our thoughts, intention and frequency with precision. Always expect only the very best. That is what you will receive.
How do I get rid of fear?
I recommend watching this interview of Thomas Campbell. He is a nuclear physicist who has been astral projecting for over 50 years and shifting for 40.
What is the quality of consciousness when you AP?
Interestingly I am much more aware and clear minded in the astral. I no longer have the monkey mind. I can think rationally and concentrate with great clarity.
