CHAPTER ONE

An Introduction

Astral projection is a natural function of the human bodyevery night we go into the astral plane

unconsciously in dreams; astral projecting is simply going there consciously (which is going there

knowing that you are leaving your physical body). It happens spontaneously to around 10 percent of

the population, but its possible to learn techniques to consciously be aware of the natural process of

traveling out of the body into different dimensions, to learn to travel around the astral plane, and to

seek out knowledge there on a regular basis.
