More on Spirits and Astral Projection
Look at what I found on Crystalinks!
This article is great because it includes a bit of a “how to”.
(This also really supports the idea about my Gran and Astral Projection and the spirit world that I wrote about yesterday.) 
Reality is created by thought projection (consciousness) into the physical. There are 5 subtle bodies In astral projection the conscious mind leaves the physical body and moves into the astral body to experience. In astral projection you remain attached to your physical body by a ’silver umbilical type cord’. Some people are able to see the cord when astral projecting. To astral project, as with all out-of-body experiences, one must feel totally relaxed, clothing fitting comfortable, reclining is best. Often a comforter is best over the body as the physical body sometimes gets cold when you travel out.
When you astral project you are consciously aware of things you encounter while out of your physical body.
Some people can astral project naturally. Others are afraid to remove their consciousness from the physical body and never learn to astral project.
Astral projection (or astral travel) is an out-of-body experience achieved either awake or via lucid dreaming or deep meditation. People who say they experience astral projection often say that their spirit or astral body has left their physical body and moves in another dimension known as the spirit world or astral plane. The concept of astral projection has been around and practiced for thousands of years, dating back to ancient China. It is currently often associated with the New Age movement.
Psychics often say that the subconscious (or dreaming) mind contains the spirit or astral body, resulting in falling dreams or waking up with a falling sensation or sudden jerk. Most dreams are not remembered by the conscious mind, making the experience of astral projection a subject of subjectivity. Believers in astral projection point out, though, that most ghost sightings often define the ghost as a lucid or transparent apparition walking the earth.
It is unclear whether every physical object has an ‘astral’ counterpart, or if a spirit literally uses incarnation into a physical body and this is what results in astral projections, or if the phenomena is something else entirely. Astral projection also touches on life itself and what happens after physical death.

Wow! I’m actually interested in trying some of those methods… but as the excerpt says, I might be too afraid! o.o;; But I do want to try….

whoa, that’s really weird. so if you head to the spirit plane, then it makes sense that living people can visit the dead too, just like you’ve talked about them visiting us. wild!
one thing i think about a lot is what if the dead do continue to exist, that their spirits remain, but they don’t know they’re dead… how weird would that be? this made me think that astral projection would feel a lot like dying…your spirit leaving your body!

“Psychics often say that the subconscious (or dreaming) mind contains the spirit or astral body, resulting in falling dreams or waking up with a falling sensation or sudden jerk.”
…….wow……
For the past couple of months, i would sleep normally and then all of a sudden my body jerks…like my arm just flung up all of a sudden or my leg would shoot out… but this usually doesn’t wake me up, but i remember it happening… also i don’t remember even dreaming at that time.

Do you fairly think this is news? I like and read your blog to get necessary information, but sometimes melancholy kills me

I was getting pretty edgy reading this. If I say I’m disagreeing with your post I would say nothing. Reading this is meaningless waste of time.
