What does astral mean
To know astral, first we will have to know about the spiritual points of body, their meaning and their function. A human body has seven spiritual points and each pint has its own function, power, potential and importance. Following is the detail of those seven points:-
Energy storage point is located at the end of human body’s backbone, once it gets activated the person’s energy gets stored in it. Benefit of activating this point is generally we throw additional energy of our body through aggressiveness, anger or tears because body is unable to cope up with the additional energy. The same energy gets stored in this point once it gets activated and improves physical and mental power of the person and the person will remain calm and peaceful.
Energy release point is located two inches above the groin (reproductive organ), once the point is activated, person gets heavenly pleasure when the energy releases from this point. The body becomes more charged and happy. The energy goes into the brain and enhances the performance and activeness of neurons. When first time this energy releases person may face severe headache because body gets first experience of it.
Fear point is located at the centre of stomach, this is already activated point whenever the body comes down with speed from height, the pressure comes on stomach and a sensation of fear it is required to deactivate fear point. Benefit of non activation is the person who halts activeness or deactivates this point becomes fearless or can cure any phobia (if suffering).
Heart point is located at the beginning point of heart and in the centre of chest. It is also already activated point. Benefit of deactivation is if the person is very sentimental or emotional, the person can control his/her emotions and feelings by deactivating it. Controlling of feelings and emotions will enhance person’s concentration level.
Voice point is located at the centre of the front side of the neck. It is required to have command over it, it is also activated point. A person can make himself soft spoken, out spoken or silent after having command over this point. An introvert person can transform himself into extrovert person.
Order point is the most powerful spiritual point of human body because all the other points can be activated or deactivated through order point only. So first of all activation of order point is required to have command over all the other spiritual point of body. Its power cannot be defined in words but can only be felt after activating self power point. This point is most precious for practicing paranormal powers. Power point is located just between the eyes on the forehead or the location can be understood by the third eye position of Lord Shiva. Negative part of this point is it may make the person highly egoistic to avoid it person must feel the power is of God not his/her.
God point is located at the centre of the head or we can say topmost point of the human body. After activation of this point the soul gets connected with God, merge his soul into God and then only God is there. Examples Gautama Buddha, Mahaveer Swami Etc.
Now we know about the spiritual points of body, if you have practiced the exercises which you read in previous chapters than most of your chakras are in activated mode except energy release point and God’s point. These two points activation is not in our hand but in the hands of God. It’s up to almighty when he wants to shower his blessings and love. But we can practice astral travel or astral projection without activation of these two points. We will have to understand astral body before practicing it. Astral body is the body which comes back in every birth but it is not soul. Soul is the part of super of super soul (The greatest power in the universe: whom we call God).
Astral body is not made of any material or thing but it is made up of divine energy. People experience astral projection when they are in coma or sleep paralysis or suffering from any major decease. Often I heard from people about this but my experience is totally different which I am going to share with you.
I performed my first astral unknowingly as I used to practice meditation regularly. One day I wanted to communicate with my girl friend but for some reason I was unable to communicate through mobile and my desire to communicate was show deep that I was unable to stop the quest for communication. I thought I should practice meditation and communicate with her in spiritual manner. I put my body on relax and waited till I went into deep meditative state. I was aware about the power of soul and I thought body can’t reach to my girl friends place but soul can and I commanded my soul to come out of body, after few calls I found my astral body just not moving out of but going away from it. The astral body was as white as snow and it was just a fog, the milky color of astral body was amazing.
When I saw it moving away from me, the astral body was walking very slowly. It developed a sensation in my mind “am I dead?” This thought made me to move my hand but I was unable to move, I found myself even unable to move the little finger. And I started calling back my astral body, come back, come back and within a second my little finger moved than my hand after that whole body. I came back to normal state in few seconds and I was wondering was it real or just an imagination.
That time I was not aware about the astral projection, it was performed unknowingly. But as I enjoyed the session and I started practicing it regularly sometimes I used to go to temple, sometimes to any unexplored place but I never went far away from my astral body. Latter I discovered it was nothing else but astral projection.
There is not any big difference between astral projection and astral travel, in astral projection astral body remains close to physical body but in astral travel astral body goes far away from physical body. Astral travel can be done to any corner of the universe.
Now the biggest question is how to perform astral projection because astral projection is first step towards the astral travel. In early chapters we have discussed about how to bring your soul out of body. If you have achieved that task, you can perform astral also.
