Astral travel occurs when your spirit leaves your body and travels to various parts of the spiritual realms. This can be done when you are consciously awake or unconscious and sleeping.

The great thing about astral travelling is that you can go wherever you want. A lot depends on your emotional state at the time, for if you are feeling anger or depression you will travel to the lower realms and will come back feeling tired or worse off then before. You can try and choose where you will end up, but you won’t always get your wish – if your spirit guides wish you to go somewhere for spiritual teachings, that is where you will go.

When astral travelling you can commune with your angels and spirit guides. You can sometimes encounter people you know if you are both astral travelling at the same time. You can even meet your future soul mate – your husband, wife or life partner.

Research has found that the very deep sleepers travel much further on their astral travels then light sleepers. The light ones seem to only travel around this world, while the deeper ones have been found to go anywhere in the universe.

Whatever emotional issues you are going through at the time will come out in your travels because your consciousness is found in your spirit.

The best time for astral travelling is when you are in a deep meditation or sleep. It is very important however to ask for protection from your guides especially Archangel Michael before astral travelling. This is because on your travels your spirit is vulnerable to any darker or lower energy who wish to contact you.
