8/21/2006 - Mental Projection

Most are probaly familler with the term Astral projection, but what is perhaps a little less well known is the technique known as Mental Projection. This works in ways very simillar to Astral (which I will be discussing here in good time) with a couple of distinct differences as well.

With mental projection instead of sending your soul out of your body as you do with astral you project out your mind, so your body remains more aware of its current surroundings, in someways this can be safer then astral paritucarly if you are not in a place where you know your body will be secure while engating in astral. With mental projection you have more control of the physcial realm while you can still disengage a part of yourself.

It is possible to project your mind into the astral plane, the big difference here between mental and astral projection is that eveyrtying will be experinced through visulization, you will see it all within your mind but you will not be truly expericig it as with astral.

Mental projection can be used to make contact and communication with those who might be upon the astral plane or with those who be within the other realms and beyond the veil which seperates this world and reality from the other worlds and reailites. I will do a more indepth discussion of just what the veil is at a later time.

Mental projection can also be easier to use then astral projection. In order to do a mental projection find a place where you can get comftrable and lay donw, or sit, or take a relaxing posistion for you. Clear out your mind of mundane thoughts, and thoughts about things that you have to do, or things you have done, and so on, make your mind as blank and clear as possible and then focus upon where or what it is you wish to project to, feel your mind letting go of current reality and opening up to travel outward away from you, and the images of your choosen destination will start to fill your mind.

One thing to be aware of, is that though it is an easier technique then astral projection, it is something of a strain and can be exhausing, that is one of the shortcomming of mental projection you might not be able to stay in that sate as long as one can stay in astral, so you will have to work quickly to accomplish your quest.
