Witchcraft 101: ✨astral travel✨
Before we go into astral traveling I’m here to warn you about the dangers of doing so, especially without a trusted companion by your side.
You see, when you astral travel the first time you do so you’ll be able to stay in there for about 5 minutes tops, probably less. And when you snap back awake your body will either drop lifeless or something else whether it be another version of you or another spirit possesses it.
Without a trusted companion it’s hard to tell who or what touches your body when you’re not in it and if you die in the astral you lose a piece of yourself that you can’t get back. While yes it seems like fun; the beginning part is hard and time consuming which means that you’re in more danger if you don’t have a companion with you.
That being said, do so at your own risk.
Unfortunately before we get into that we need to open your third eye, without it open there’s a good chance you won’t be able to see in the astral, and glasses won’t even work (trust me I have them).
My method of opening my third eye was rough and aggressive and not for everyone so I hope there will be a few comments about other methods.
My method for opening it was to sit back with my eyes closed and picture my forehead, there I saw a large eye that was closed and started to slowly pry it open, it didn’t feel amazing but I slowly watched it start to open up and afterwards my forehead was sore from the prying.
Next the way I astral travel is by sitting with my back against a wall, again so I can’t fall asleep during it and closing my eyes, I see myself falling, and once I hit the ground I catch myself, my muscles flexing and the feeling of hitting the ground crawling up my body. Then before I can think I move and turn it into a run, sprinting and taking as many turns as I feel necessary before reaching a door or opening and throwing myself through it. I feel myself land in the astral on whatever ground is there and I spend the five minutes walking around, noticing leaves of grass, and touching them. Feeling really veins of the leaf, the bark of a tree, the smell of nature, the rocks crunch beneath my feet.
It’s best to notice all these things and when you open your eyes you’ll be exhausted and that’s how you’ll know you actually went into the astral.
Disclaimer I found this method on tumblr years ago, but can’t remember who was it that posted about it.
