What is "Astral Walking"?
552316
You are referring to an OBE, Out of Body Experience. We travel without true physical form, carrying with us the appearance of ourselves which is linked back to our body through the "silver chord" a type of spiritual umbilical chord. Normal physical limitations do not exist and we can pass through objects that normally would be solid.

Astral Travelling? i have no doubts about it when i leave my body.. There is no danger that i see! The only danger is by being afraid. Don't get fear! Fear is nothing! The one who said that someone will stole your body are not doing astral travel.Naturally, when you sleep at night (your physical body) Your astral body then travel.. and you can experience this if you are aware.. We have more power than the lower beings! And actually they are the one gets fear.. So don't be afraid... happy travel!!

Astral projection is not necessarily a form of lucid dreaming, but you can awake consciously while your physical body is asleep into a lucid state while having an astral projection.  I know because it's happened to me on more than a couple of occasions.  Astral projection (O.B.E./Out-of-Body Experience) is where a person's immortal spirt or consciousness exits the physical body - usually while the physical body is sleeping but sometimes due to consciously-induced effort while physically awake on the part of a person who is spiritually advanced.  Spontaneous O.B.E.s also can occur if a person is meditating or deeply relaxed and not thinking too much.  Furthermore,  accidental and spontaneous astral projection can occur during serious physical illness or trauma.  Astral projection often begins with partial or full "sleep paralysis."  This results when the spirit is slightly out of synchronicity with the physical body and the mind becomes conscious to some degree.  Astral projectors also may hear or feel beautiful, weird, or very loud and disconcerting sounds - perhaps a rushing sound or bells, feel vibrations or even think their beds are moving or the earth is quaking.  This results when the spirit begins to disconnect from the body because it's beginning to vibrate at a higher frequency.  Don't worry, you always can bring your spirit back into synch with your body by thinking and focusing on the body or some body part; and your astral cable (silver cord, etc.), a two-way communications link and umbilical cord made of unique energy that can stretch perhaps to eternity and never breaks until your physical body is ready to die always will keep you connected to your physical body at all times.  You may or may not see or be aware of this cable/cord while astrally projecting.  Fear, however, will bring you back to your body quicker than anything else.  When you begin to fear, you will start to move back into synchronization with your physical body.  Sometimes this can occur very quickly and you may feel like you've slammed or dropped hard back into your body.  During an astral projection or O.B.E., a person can be unconscious (not aware at all), partially conscious (partially aware for short periods), or fully conscious (able to think lucidly and move about at will).  Lucid dreaming is simply where you seem to wake into consciousness and simultaneously know you're dreaming or simply find yourself conscious during sleep and can think and act according to your free will and not simply be a puppet of the dream, etc.  Lucid dreams sometimes are connected to clairvoyance (seeing the future) - I have experienced this on various occasions, precognition (knowing the future), and other psychic (spiritual) experiences, etc.  For more info on O.B.Es and lucid dreaming, read: "Astral Dynamics," by Robert Bruce; "Soul Traveler," by Albert Taylor; "The Projection of the Astral Body," by Sylvan Muldoon and Hereward Carrington; and "The Lucid Dreamer," by Malcolm Godwin.  I hope this has helped.  P.S.  I also would like to say hello and give a loving hug to photogeek who also answered this question.

Open your third eye. To be honest, you are already there. It is intertwined with this reality, but your eyes are closed. That is why you do not see it. Your third eye is the gateway to the astral world. Also your dreams too. Ask either your higherself, or God, or whomever that is "upstairs" to take you to the astral world. This should be the fastest (Also tell them to make sure you remember! *chuckles*). To get the full effects of being in the astral realm, making the effort in understanding of one's Self and what is around them, knowing God (and do not rely on religion for this. Their minds are narrow. You having a narrow perspective/view on the world will only hinder your progress) and other disciplins that take quite some time, you will get your third eye open. This is also through meditation. Dreaming is a type of meditation also. I hope this helps. Cheers!

i regularly go astralling.  in fact, a lot of people do, whether or not they realize it in the waking world.  you see, people generally have two selves.. their physical self that houses their Waking Mind, and their Astral self.  your astral self often gets around in the astral realms, regardless of whether or not your waking mind realizes it.\n\nthere are many in the y-messenger chat rooms, religion and beliefs/paganism, that also have experience with astral projection.  i think you'll find some real-time q&a to be quite helpful.  however, it seems to be a phenomenon of the paganism rooms that the higher the number, the less people there are, and the more focused the topics.  you'll have to be patient, however.  for every month i spend on there, i maybe get a day's worth of applicable and serious conversation.  when it happens, however, it's GOOOOOOOOOOOD!\n\nas for personal experiences, i can give you a bit, but they are, indeed, quite personal...\n\ni lay down as if i'm going to sleep, and at that state between dreams and wakefullness, you'll find yourself in the perfect meditative state for astralling.  first, i Visualize (that's imagination with force and intent--sounds trite, but try it and you'll see what i mean) a "dream vista" of my choosing.  this can be whatever i wish.  as the vista becomes tangible to me, that is as i manifest unto it.  the FIRST thing i do is raise a shield around me as i sit and collect my thoughts.  to do that, again, Visualization.  in fact, i wouldn't go ANYWHERE in the astrals until you're MORE THAN COMFORTABLE with forming a vista and a shield.  as for the nature of yours, that is up to you.  :)  it is also up to you the form in which you manifest, but i suggest human, as it's what you know in this life.  don't get ahead of yourself!  :)\n\nwhen i feel i'm ready (don't rush it!) i stand up, stretch my legs, and decide where i want to go.  sometimes, it's certain spirit-energy-hubs.  these often manifest themselves in the mortal mind as tangible cities.  there's so many that i cannot list them all here.  after making sure no entity has any pressing business with me, i set off.  sometimes, instead of going to a public place, i'll try and find a few astral friends i've met over the years, and we find a nice secluded spot and chill.  once in a while, and i'm sure this happens to a lot of astrallers, i get attacked.  i'm sure some people find such scary, but you can get attacked in the physical realm, as well...  so you're really no safer here nor there.  i suggest dealing with astral attackers in a "non-lethal" manner (there's a reason that's in quotes), as sometimes entities have a big brother that they run back to for help...  get the picture?  hee hee!\n\nsometimes my spirits and i go and find old astral entities that we know of and ask their advice on certain topics.  sometimes we don our helmets and have a friendly sparring match, just for fun.  i want to make note that i'm not denoting ownership when i say "my spirits".  you can translate that as "my friends".. showing how we relate, not some vile master-slave relationship.\n\nsometimes the astralling continues long after my body has actually fallen asleep, yet the mind continues to be conscious of what goes on.  this is not always the case, however.  once in a while the astralling session just fades out and i rejoin my sleeping body.  sometimes, i continue the whole night through, and then the alarm clock goes off and interrupts me.  Sure, i have to go to work, but there's few things more irritating than having a particularly good astralling session interrupted by something so mundane.  \n\nthe next night, when i "jack back in", so to speak, i often find that my astral self is still continuting whatever it was that we left off with..  or even finished that up and then began a new task.\n\ni

I think the "silvery white" astral plane is simply an embellished description of "Heaven".  And furthermore, why don't we capitalize "silvery white" astral plane?

I have this often. One time in particular is was the most amazing, and realisitc. Years ago, my boyfriend and I had moved from California to Utah. I left all family and friends behind and set out for a new adventure. One night, I was dreaming that I had got up out of bed, started flapping my arms to fly, and the proceeded to fly all the way back to Calif. to a place where my friends and I hung out. I landed right in front of my friend, Joanne, that I had known since Jr. High. We chatted and laughed for quite a time what had been going on since I left. Soon I was flying home, and back into my body. Didn't think much of it, except how funny it was to flap my arms and fly, but when I went  back to Calif. and saw my friend, Joanne, I told her about the dream and she couldn't speak for a couple of minutes. Shocked, she told me of how she had the dream of me standing in that very spot and talking to her about the same things I mentioned in the dream I had. This changed my whole outlook on "dreams" and I started reading up on it. I have found over the years that there is one source that is the best for learning about this unique experience and that is from Sylvia Browne. "Astral Projection Techniques" is the one you want to check out. Good luck and Happy & Safe Traveling. {:o)

astral travel is journeying on the 4th dimension and is inadvisable.  Although I am not really familier I am led to understand that you can invite unwanted energetic activity into your life which can be an uncomfortable growth process - If you really wish to understand more about the other side then I recommend meditation - which is much safer and can take you further than you have ever dreamed possible!!!\n\nThere are many meditational CDs available try doing a google search or use a buddist technique

Walking is the act of falling and catching yourself, one leg at a time. I can walk until one leg does'nt catch me.

Cool Thought!!!!  Ever thought of astral projection.  Hank Wesselman has some great ideas about it - in story form so its entertaining and readable.

It is real in the sense that many people have had experiences that fit the description of what one would imagine astral projection to be like.  On the other hand, coming from a person who has had this sort of experience, I have no way of knowing whether it was a hallucination/dream or whether I actually experienced awareness outside of my body.\n\nA more important question would perhaps be, is your everyday experience real?  What do we mean when we say "real"?
