When I was 17 years old, I came upon a print ad for an in-person, 6-week astral projection course. (Astral projection or astral travel is the practice of having a conscious out-of-body experience.)  

At the time, I was two years into my spiritual journey and dove into every single spiritual topic I could access to. Naturally, I signed up, and dragged my best friend with me, too.  

I loved the course. We started with concertation, body relaxation, and visualization exercises, and then learned a series of techniques to trigger astral projection.  

Then, every night we’d go to sleep and practice one of the techniques, hoping to have an out of body experience.  

I still remember the night I first managed to do it… 

The technique instructed I concentrated on the beating of my heart until my body went to sleep but my consciousness didn’t. Half an hour later and without much happening, I decided to give up and go to sleep.  

I opened my eyes briefly so I could turn around, and to my surprise what I saw wasn’t my room’s ceiling but the most beautiful starry sky.  

Wait, what?  

That’s when it dawned on me. I’d done it. I was out!  

I turned around and I saw my body sleeping peacefully.  

Oh – sh*t!  

Fear took the best of me, and I was instantly yanked back into my body, waking up.
