Id like to learn to astral travel

I never done it before and I wanna meet spirits and the fae.

thats why i want to astral it seems cool.

i hope they see my post cause if not with in a week ill ask again. thank you so much. 

I've dabbled abit in astral projection before and also have practiced it quite a few times.

To be able to travel consciously you need to forget about about your physical body. Once this is achieved, you are just full awareness.

Do you understand what astral ptojection is?

Astral travel may involve meeting different spirit entities from those you're hoping to see...

Astral Travel is not for the feint or even faint hearted, it should not be undertaken lightly as it can be a very disturbing and vivid experience. Please don't just try and have a go because you think it is cool. You could end up severely disturbed and depressed with break-throughs into the waking world that could leave you hallucinating or far worse.

I know that the worst thing to say to any young person is don't do it, because they just will want to even more, so instead I would just suggest that you learn how properly with a mentor that can be with you. That way they can help to ensure your safety and minimise any adverse risks or effects.

It sounds to me like you need to learn more before you do anything. Practise the basics like grounding and protection and make sure you have mastered those before you step any further, or even enter meditation.

Do you have anyone offline that you trust and respect and that you can talk to about all the kinds of things you have posted about here recently? This isn't some fun entertainment pastime that can be taken up on a whim.

I see you are wiccan, do you follow the Rede? That is good advice for anyone to start with.

I dont have anyone at all.

Some people find it difficult because it’s all too easy to shock yourself back into your physical body the moment you realise you've lifted off. Plenty of people lay down to relax and find themselves daydreaming and are in a state similar to astral travel so it isn’t too difficult once you’ve tried a few times.  

It’s about lifting your consciousness out of your physical body. The web has a few instructions and hints and here are mine. There is little danger, less than having a nightmare. If things turn awkward you can snap out of it just as you suddenly awaken from a nightmare. You’re in control. If you encounter an entity that seems hostile always be polite and back out if you have to. You have nothing to fear so there’s no need to show fear after the initial surprise.
 
Relaxation has to be complete so if you want to sit in a chair best it’s an armchair in case you fall asleep and may fall off a chair. But here are a few points from me, for what they’re worth.
 
Choose your times. Experiment with different times of day/evening. Allow enough time to relax and lift off. Just suggesting half an hour is probably the minimum. You may need and take less and if the try fails there’s no sense in persisting if you get frustrated.  You may fail many times. Don’t give up. It’s usually this thing that you suddenly pull yourself back aware that you are on the astral. Go for just a few moments at first. 
 
Your astral body has to move outside your physical body, your limbs, you walk, you can fly, your hands are free so you have to learn to use them without your physical body becoming aware. You do it in dreams and I’ve found that a good way to start is to visualise a scene from a dream where you’re moving around and just relive that. Once you can see yourself in a scene outside your body you can move on.  You can use gateways or veils to reach regions you want to explore. If you want to go to a truly peaceful place, make up a design that epitomises peace on a veil across an opening in a wall then project yourself through it.
 

There’s a little more to it. Some say you should travel back to your physical body. See it there, approach and reabsorb yourself into it. It’s something I was taught and try to do. How do others end their trips?
