Astral Travel is when your energetic body goes elsewhere. It can occur unintentionally and you may not even know you’ve astral traveled, but you might notice that you feel tired for no good reason when you’ve slept a full eight hours. In that case, you’ve been busy somewhere else.

Sometimes you’ll wake up in the night or from a nap and you’ll know you’ve astral traveled.

For years, I thought I was only dreaming. I’d wake up in the middle of the night out of an experience that included riding a dolphin skimming on top of the ocean.

As we glided along the surface, it felt as real as being in the ocean when I’m awake. Another detail was the touch of the dolphin’s skin. Kind of like being on a speeding toy float, except it was alive.

Think of it this way, your physical self makes up only a small part of you. On a larger scale, you are a soul who came here to learn, and for some of us, to teach what you know.

Think of astral travel as a way you can do double duty on your soul work while here on Earth.

What is Soul Work?

Whether you consciously know it or not, your soul knows that you have work to do. And, you have many lifetimes of skill sets and abilities available for you to tap into.

Along these lines, one of my unintentional recent astral travels took an unexpected turn. I was jolted awake from a deep sleep in the middle of the night. When I woke, I felt battle weary and physically depleted with a heavy sickening feeling.

True to how I felt, I’d been in a battle and was fighting as a warrior and doing things of which I have no skill for in my current life.

The sickening feeling was from the real loss that came with slaying what I can only describe as a creature who was bad news. After being jerked awake, I felt I had completed a job or an assignment and I was glad that it was at its end.

How To Know If You’re Astral Traveling

If you think you may be astral traveling, keep a journal by the bed to write down your experiences.

If you’re having an out of body experience regularly with a common theme, it will become apparent when you look back at what you’ve written. 

A lot of creative people astral travel regularly during their dreams and then it’s brought to life through their art, writing, or movie making.

Astral Traveling Tips

1: You can choose to astral travel before going to bed or for a nap.

2: You can intentionally visit loved ones who’ve passed away and even meet with your spirit guides. Of course, astral traveling is not the only way to accomplish this. You can do this while awake too.

3: What to do when you don’t want to astral travel: There are nights when I ask my spirit guides to keep me in my body because I need to rest due to a busy day or maybe I’m not feeling well, and I don’t want to push myself in another world while I’m sleeping. Can spirit guides do that? Yeah. They can.  

4: You can pick what you want to do. Anytime you’re flying in a dream, you are astral traveling.

5: Once you learn how to intentionally astral travel, it can be a great stress reliever because there are no physical limitations.

Astral travel can feel wonderful, but it can also be draining because it’s another form of living your life. You’ll want to be intentional with it.

If it feels like you’re leaving your body and you can describe in some detail where you’ve been and what you’re doing afterward, then it is most likely really happening, psychotropic drugs notwithstanding.

What Does Science Say About Astral Travel?

The closest area of scientific research related to astral traveling is known as OBE or Out of Body Experiences.

Out of Body Experiences have been widely researched, and so have NDE or Near Death Experiences, which also occur out of body but happen when you’ve died or are near death. And then, thank goodness, you are revived back to life, either clinically or through a miracle.

Yes. Miracles are real.
