Most of the astral projection MP3 downloads found online give the impression that they can produce some very powerful experiences for the person using them. Astral projection is a way of experiencing consciousness differently, naturally without any drugs. It is a method of focused creative meditation, if you like.

If you are new to the concept of astral travel you might expect to purchase an audio mp3 and beginning having these consciousness altering experiences right away. In reality that's not the case. Meditation frames of mind cannot be forced to come about with external input like an audio file. The reason that these downloads do work is because they help facilitate the process of astral projection -- but they can't impose the experience if a person is not open to it.

One of the audio downloads that has worked particularly well for me in using for astral travel is called SpiritualSYNC. However prior to using any focused meditation audio I recommend following certain steps to get into the right frame of mind for the best possible experience:

First of all it's important to be able to relax and switch off your mind, emotional processing, and motor disturbances. By closing your eyes and focusing on breathing (just breathing) for a few moments most of your thoughts and emotions will begin to take up less of your attention as you fall into deeper relaxation.

Sometimes motor disturbances such as twitching or playing with a piece of thread unconsciously can disturb the process.

1. Get into a relaxed frame of mind.
2. Focus on keeping your body completely still.
3. Begin playing the audio and be open to the experience.

Most astral projection experiences take the mind to a higher level of consciousness and often resemble extremely vivid dreams during which you are conscious. Many individuals are able to connect with others on the astral plane and even report back their experiences to each other when returning from the meditation state.
