Man has seven bodies and chakras. The astral body comes immediately after the ethereal, the first one. Each human body is controlled by a specific chakra. The human astral body is similar to the physical body, only much thinner: its thickness is approximately 20–40 cm, but it can be even greater. It all depends on how developed it is. Only a clairvoyant can clearly see the astral body. Similar to a luminous cocoon, it takes on the outlines of a physical body.

What it is
Just like the aura, the astral body can be subject to energy or magical attacks, which subsequently causes a variety of damage and cracks. The solar plexus chakra, called Manipura, controls the human astral body. It creates a protective layer and is responsible for human energy forces, so the astral body performs similar functions. It controls our emotions, various passions, desires, certain feelings, attractions, and so on.
The astral or, as it is also called, the emotional body is given so that we can firmly gain a foothold at this level of the universe. It stores positive (joy, love, happiness) and negative (anger, fear, dissatisfaction) experiences. This is inscribed in the cells of our astral body under the guise of energetically colored flashes.
Subtle plan of man
The totality of all our bodies constitutes an aura, which can only be seen with the third eye or developed astral vision.
Some witchcraft rituals avoid dividing the subtle plane into bodies and work only with the aura, which is also possible. Cleansing, strengthening and protection from negative influences is practiced both with individual bodies and with the aura as a whole.
But working on the subtle body separately is considered more effective due to increased concentration on a specific problem, which can only be fully worked out individually.
The relationship between the astral and physical bodies
The astral body influences the physical. If a person is weak, at odds with himself, and prone to bad habits, then the astral body suffers first. It weakens and loses energy, which subsequently negatively affects the physical body.
This also applies to excessive expressions of anger and other negative emotions. The more there are, the more the astral and then the physical body suffers. There are many examples when a person, at first glance, is not physically tired, but due to constant problems and negative thoughts he feels tired and sleepy.
These are the consequences of weak energy in the astral body. If, on the contrary, a person monitors his thoughts and actions, tries to do everything correctly and accumulates positivity, then he will physically feel strong and vigorous.
In this video, Alexander will talk about the astral body in simple language:
Everything starts with the astral body, you must always remember this.
How to develop?
It is impossible without constant work on the astral body - it needs to be formed all the time, work on protection, energy support. Study everything related to the Manipura chakra in order to work on its improvement. For the chakra to function, you need to develop self-discipline, courage, responsibility and other similar qualities.
Strengthen your energy potential, because it affects not only the astral plane, but also the rest of the human body.
Excess mental-astral accumulation needs to be unloaded to avoid negative consequences such as addiction, clarity of thinking, the opportunity to learn something new, and so on. There are two types of overcrowding - informational and energy. Our bodies lose energy, light, saturation and accumulate various dark clots and spots.
To develop the astral body, you need to get rid of what pollutes and weakens it:
- anger, anger, aggression;
- fear, pessimism, depression;
- surrounded by negative people;
- poor sleep;
- excessive relaxation, laziness;
- increased tension;
- manifestation of superficial emotions;
- selfishness and pride;
- bad habits and everything that pollutes the physical body.
Accordingly, it is necessary to develop what strengthens the astral body:
- spiritual practices and meditation;
- surrounded by pleasant and bright people;
- reading good, kind books, listening to your favorite music, traveling to beautiful places;
- physical activity;
- kindness to others, unconditional love, friendliness;
- proper daily routine and healthy sleep;
- cleansing the mind.
This has a positive effect not only on the astral body, but also on the entire aura as a whole.
Benefits of Astral Yoga
This program will help you independently develop the ability to enter the astral plane, but in order to achieve truly good results, it is best to work on yoga together with professional practitioners.
The Astral Yoga training works only with the natural trait of human consciousness- follow the usual direction of movement, even if it has stopped. Thanks to this phenomenon of consciousness, it becomes possible to develop such a skill as leaving your physical body. The program will help you feel this, and if during astral yoga you suddenly feel that you are being pulled upward, then under no circumstances resist this feeling. It’s better to relax and give your astral body free rein.
The process of leaving the physical body is reminiscent of a roller coaster or an airplane flight. Its second name is “air cushion”. This feeling appears during a flight, when it seems that everything around is freezing, but something inexplicable inside you continues to move forward. Many people say that at this time they take their breath away or, for example, their heart skips a beat.
This is the moment when the astral body briefly leaves the physical. Just a moment, but it can be extended during our training and it will be several times greater than the feeling you experienced while flying on an airplane or having fun on an attraction. The more you practice, the more you will be able to develop the skill of exiting the astral body from the physical shell.
Possibilities
Roughly speaking, our astral body is a double of the physical shell invisible to the ordinary eye. When a person sleeps, his astral is located just above his body in a suspended state, completely copying its outline. The stronger a person’s desire for self-development, the stronger and more perfect the astral body becomes. Thanks to this, a person can contemplate lucid dreams or travel in the astral plane.
The astral body has several unique capabilities:
- manages own energy;
- recovers independently from magical and energy attacks;
- can instantly move in space with just one thought and travel through subtle worlds;
- performs a protective function;
- does not react to mood swings of people around him.
This means that the more actively a person works on his energy body, the more protected he is and is not susceptible to the negative emotions of the world around him. For such spiritual warriors, the world opens the door to amazing and almost magical abilities!
Cleaning
First you need to understand what exactly needs to be cleaned and what is the degree of contamination of your energy body. First comes the cleaning of the upper layers: negative thoughts, envy, irritation, anger. Usually thoughts and emotions are associated with specific events or people, so you can clear this layer yourself.
Remove the negative mentally forgive everyone, send love to ill-wishers, and then let them go, thereby closing all debts to yourself, and only then move on.
Next comes a complex cleansing - getting rid of the fears with which the astral body has been saturated for hundreds of years. The most difficult thing is to remove the fear of death, aka instinct. There are practices for this, for example, burying a person in the ground for a while or immersing in water with predators. Such techniques are carried out under the supervision of competent people, but few people advise them, because often they do not remove, but, on the contrary, increase human fears.
Therefore, it is best to mentally relive your past deaths, accept the fact that death is essentially a change from one form of manifestation of our consciousness to another, and return to ordinary life. And you can also work with other global fears.
person. It manifests itself in the form of emotional experiences and states. Therefore, the often-astral body is called the emotional body.
Structure of the astral body
It is much thinner, only approximately follows the contours of the physical body and consists of multi-colored energy substances that are in constant motion. These colored clots of energy penetrate the previous denser bodies - etheric and physical, and are also capable of coloring the thought forms of the subtler mental body.
look like colored energy vortexes painted in all the colors of the rainbow. In the case of balanced chakras, these colors have pure, deep shades. Each chakra has its own color:
1. Muladhara - red;
2. Svadhisthana - orange (red - orange);
3. Manipura - yellow;
4. Anahata - green (bright herbal);
5. Vishuddha - sky blue;
6. Ajna - blue (indigo);
7. Sahasrara - purple (white).
In an upright person, with balanced chakras, the astral body has an ovoid shape. If the chakras are not balanced, the shape of the emotional body may be distorted and the colors of the chakras will have dirty dark shades.
Properties of the astral body
In humans, the astral body is responsible for the emotional and sensory perception of the world. A person perceives the vibrations of the astral body quite well and quickly reacts to changes in its states, although such reactions can most often be attributed to the subconscious.
Understanding the reactions of the emotional body, and even more so, managing them is not an easy task and, as a rule, requires long-term and serious work. Many, with some diligence, manage to learn to maintain external calm or indifference, while the astral body remains uncontrollable. Therefore, despite the external form, people perfectly feel the true attitude towards themselves from other people, however, they do not always trust their feelings - they trust their reason. But it is quite easy to instill in the mind (mental body) any desired thought. This is especially true of a person with a developed mental body. Therefore, “the smart is easily deceived”
Of all the subtle bodies, the astral body reacts most acutely and strongly to a person’s relationship with the outside world. By changing, the emotional body causes a change in the hormonal background of the physical body, and a change in the movement of energy (qi, prana) through the energy channels of the etheric body.
Emotions, feelings and states appear in the astral body. If the astral projections of the lower chakras (svadhisthana and manipura) are excited, then most often they talk about emotions such as fear, falling in love, anger, aggression, resentment, sadness, joy.
If the astral is excited, then they often talk about feelings such as love, compassion, empathy.
If the astral projections of the upper chakras (ajna, sahasrara) are excited, then most often they talk about states such as creative uplift, peace, serenity, ecstasy.
With his astral body, a person interacts with the astral bodies of other creatures and objects using numerous astral channels. By immersing your consciousness in the astral body, you can travel to various astral worlds.
During strong emotional experiences, a person loses a lot of energy. If astral body If it is highly excited, it can throw out clots of energy into space. This released energy, as a rule, has its addressee and is capable of causing a response feeling or emotion. If the emotions are positive or sublime, then the released energy clots are painted in pure, bright colors and can inspire or heal a person.
If emotions are negative, then they have a dirty coloring and can cause significant harm to the person to whom they are directed. True, these same emotions also affect the one who allows them. It’s not for nothing that there is a saying: “The evil man of the Earth is a short-lived resident.”
The state of the astral body, the emotions that a person experiences, have a significant impact on the scenario of his life, on current and future events.
The health of the astral body depends largely on the engrams it contains and the presence of repressed emotions.
Note. An engram is information that is recorded on the subconscious of a person in a state of complete or partial unconsciousness (for example, illness, painful shock, strong emotional arousal...).
Suppressed emotions can arise if a person is not allowed to show some emotions (or he does not allow himself). For example, a child is not allowed to show love or compassion towards people or animals. In this case, emotions may be suppressed, his heart chakra will close, and he may never experience these feelings again for the rest of his life.
The astral body is the world of images that make up a person’s social personality. Feelings, experiences, emotions, ideas about the world - all this constitutes the essence of the astral body.
Astral body(or the body of emotions) consists of more subtle matter than etheric matter. Often the astral body is also called aura.
The astral body is the world of images that make up a person’s social personality. Feelings, experiences, emotions, ideas about the world - all this constitutes the essence of the astral body.
This subtle body extends 5-50 cm beyond the physical body, depending on the richness of a person’s inner world and the level of his spiritual development. It does not have such a clear form as the etheric one. It represents continuously shimmering colored clots of energy. In an unemotional person, this body is quite uniform and discharged. In a very emotional person, these multi-colored clumps are thicker and denser. Moreover, outbursts of negative emotions appear as clots of energies of “heavy” and dark colors - burgundy-red, brown, gray, black, etc.
If a person is emotional, but easy-going, then the clots of negative energies in the emotional body dissolve relatively quickly. But if a person has lingering negative emotions such as constant grievances on people or life or permanent aggressiveness in relation to life or other people (communists, democrats, Jews, boss, ex-husband, etc.), then such emotions create long-term clots of negative emotional energy. These clots subsequently have a negative impact on our health.
The formation of the astral body occurs between the ages of 14 and 21. It is believed that on the fortieth day after a person’s death, the astral body dies. Astral energies create a whole, so-called astral plane, on which the entities of the astral plane live (egregors, ghosts, entities created in our dreams, etc.). The astral plane is two-level. The first level is emotions and feelings (grief, joy, anger). The second level is a state (love, happiness).
The astral body constantly changes its composition under the influence of the play of passions, desires and emotions. If they are benign, they strengthen the finer particles of the astral body. By careful observation of his thoughts and feelings and the conscious direction of them, a person can most decisively influence his astral body and quickly improve it. In sleep, such a developed astral body does not linger close to its physical counterpart. It wanders into astral world, wearable astral currents, while the human consciousness is capable of perceiving impressions and even imprinting them in the brain (prophetic dreams or visions).
The astral world is a certain region of the Universe that surrounds the physical world and partially penetrates it, but is invisible and not perceived by us, since it consists of matter of a different order.
The astral body of a spiritually developed person consists of the finest particles astral matter and is a beautiful spectacle in radiance and color, and shades unprecedented on earth appear in it under the influence of pure and noble thoughts. With our noble thoughts we cleanse our own astral body and there is no need to take any special measures in this regard.
Every person acts through the astral body, but only a few can use it separately from the physical body. If it were not for this mediating activity of the astral body, then there would be no connection between the external world and the human mind, and the signals sent by the physical senses would not be perceived by the mind. These signals are converted into sensations in the astral body and then only perceived by the mind.

ASTRAL BODY OR DESIRE BODY
So; we studied the physical body of a person - both the visible and the invisible part of it - and realized that a person, a living and conscious being, being in the physical world, can manifest in a state of “waking” only those knowledge and abilities that it allows him to manifest physical body. And this ability to manifest on the physical level largely depends on how perfect or imperfect this body will be; it limits a person in his manifestation in the lower world, forming a real “protective circle” around him. That which is not able to pass through this circle is not able to manifest itself on earth - that is why it is so important for a person to develop it. In the same way, acting outside the physical body in another area of the universe - the astral world (or on the astral level), a person can manifest his knowledge and abilities (in other words, himself) only to the extent that his astral body allows him to do so. At this level, it is precisely this that is both its carrier and limiter.
Man is more than his bodies; and a significant part of it is not able to manifest itself either on the physical or on the astral level; but the amount of manifestation which he can afford in any particular region of the universe may be mistaken for the man himself. The part of him that he can manifest here is determined by his physical body; and the volume of manifestation that he can allow himself in the astral world limits the astral body; therefore, we can guess that as our study progresses further to the higher worlds, we will learn that in the course of his evolutionary development, man gains the opportunity to increasingly manifest himself and at the same time gradually perfects the carriers of his consciousness.
It would be useful to remind the reader that we are now approaching areas that are relatively poorly studied, and for the majority - even unknown, and therefore there can be no claims to infallible knowledge or absolutely accurate observations. When we are talking about levels located above the physical, erroneous assumptions and conclusions are just as possible as when studying actual physical problems - and this should not be forgotten. As knowledge deepens and research continues, the accuracy of the presentation will undoubtedly increase and all errors made here will be corrected over time. And since the author of this study is still only a student, the likelihood of errors appearing in the text is very high, and they will have to be corrected in the future. However, erroneously, this book may present only details, but not general principles and main conclusions.
First of all, it is necessary that the reader has a clear idea of what the astral level or astral world is. The astral world is a certain region of the universe that surrounds the physical world and partially penetrates it, but is not visible or perceived by us, since it consists of matter of a different order.
If you split a primary physical atom, then, according to the concepts of the physical world, it will disappear; but in reality it consists of many particles of the coarsest astral matter of the solid matter of the astral world*.
__________
* The term astral - stellar - is not the most successful, but it has been used for many centuries to designate superphysical matter and therefore it is no longer possible to replace it. It was introduced by early explorers, perhaps because astral matter appears luminous, unlike physical matter.
We have already mentioned the seven states of physical matter - solid, liquid, gaseous and four ethereal, each of which is represented by countless different combinations that make up the physical world. In the same way, astral matter exists in seven states corresponding to the physical; and countless different combinations in these states also form the astral world. Each physical atom has its own astral shell; astral matter, thus, is like a matrix of physical matter, and physical, in turn, seems to be inserted into astral matter. Astral matter is the carrier of Jiva - the ONE LIFE that animates everything; thanks to astral matter, the flows of Jiva surround, support, nourish every particle of physical matter; these flows of Jiva generate not only what is commonly called vital forces, but also all electrical, magnetic, chemical and other energies, forces of attraction, cohesion, repulsion and so on - all these are varieties of the ONE LIFE in which the universes swim like fish in the sea. From the astral world, so closely connected with the physical, the Jiva passes into the etheric matter of the latter, which, in turn, becomes the bearer of all these forces and transmits them to the lower sublevels of physical matter, where we can observe their action.
If we imagine that the entire physical world suddenly disappeared, but no further changes occurred in the universe, then we will still get its exact reproduction in astral matter; and if we also imagine that all people will at the same time acquire the ability to act in the astral world, then all of them - both men and women - at first simply will not notice any changes in the world around them; "dead" people who awaken again in the lower realms of the astral world often feel this way and continue to believe that they are still living in the physical world.
Although most of us do not yet have astral vision, it is still necessary to try to imagine the relative reality of the astral world as part of the phenomenal universe, to look at it, if not with astral vision, then at least with mental vision. It is as real as the physical world, and given that it is closer to the ONE REALITY, we can say that it is even more real than the physical; its phenomena are just as accessible to the study of a competent researcher as the phenomena of the physical level. And if here a blind person sees nothing, and even a sighted person can see many objects only with the help of special instruments - a microscope, spectroscope, etc., then the same picture is observed at the astral level.
Astrally blind people are unable to see astral objects, but many things are indistinguishable even to normal astral vision, that is, clairvoyance.
Already at the present stage of evolution, many people could develop astral perception in themselves and, in fact, develop it to some extent and thus acquire the ability to pick up more subtle vibrations that already relate to the astral level. Some of them, of course, make mistakes quite often, as does, for example, a child who is still mastering his physical senses, but as experience accumulates, these mistakes are corrected, and over time they begin to see and hear on the astral level just as well. as well as on the physical one. It is undesirable to accelerate this process artificially, since until a certain level of physical strength is achieved, a person is quite satisfied with what the physical world offers him, and the penetration of astral images, sounds and phenomena will only disturb and even frighten him. But over time, man himself will reach a state when the relative reality of the astral part of the invisible world will become accessible to his waking consciousness.
But for this, it is not enough just to have an astral body - and each of us has one - it is necessary that this body be fully formed and ready for work, and consciousness must be accustomed to act in it, and not just influence the physical body through it.
Every person acts through the astral body, but only a few can use it separately from the physical. If it were not for this mediating activity of the astral body, then there would be no connection between the external world and the human mind, and the signals sent by the physical senses would not be perceived by the mind. These signals are converted into sensations in the astral body and then only perceived by the mind.
The astral body in which the centers of sensation are concentrated is often called the astral man, just as we might call the physical body physical man; but it is, of course, only a vehicle—or a shell, as the Vedantins would say—in which the true man acts, through which he reaches his denser vehicle, the physical body, and through which, in turn, the physical body reaches the man.
As for the structure of the astral body, it consists of 7 sublevels of astral matter, and either coarser or finer materials from each sublevel can also be used for its construction.
It is not difficult to describe a fully formed human astral body; imagine that a person leaves his physical body and all that remains of him is a more transparent, luminous copy, clearly visible to a clairvoyant, but inaccessible to ordinary vision. I said “a fully formed astral body,” since an insufficiently highly developed person resembles an embryo in his astral body. Its contours have not yet been defined; the material from which it is made is dull and friable; and if you separate it from the physical body, then it will appear in the form of a shapeless cloud that changes its shape, clearly unsuitable for the role of an independent carrier; in fact, it is rather a clot of astral matter than a formed astral body; a mass of astral protoplasm resembling an amoeba.
A fully formed astral body indicates that a person has reached a very high level of intellectual culture, or spiritual development; so that the appearance of the astral body is an indication of the level of progress achieved by its owner; by the completeness of its contours, the brightness of the materials of which it is composed, and the perfection of its organization, one can judge at what stage of evolution the Ego using it is located.
As for the possibility of its improvement - and this question is important for all of us - this depends, on the one hand, on the purification of the physical body, and on the other, on the purification and development of the mind.
The astral body is especially sensitive to the influence of thoughts, since astral matter reacts more quickly to impulses coming from the world of the mind than physical matter. For example, if we could look at the astral world, we would see that it is filled with constantly changing forms; we would find in it "thought-forms"—forms formed by elemental essence and animated by thought; we would also notice huge masses of this elemental matter, from which forms constantly arise and into which they then return again. If we looked closely, we could also discern the streams of thoughts that cause vibrations in astral matter: strong thoughts create from it forms that live for a long time as separate beings; weak thoughts create for themselves only fragile shells, the vibrations of which soon die out; thus mental impulses produce constant changes throughout the entire astral world.
The astral body of a person, being created from astral matter, readily responds to the influence of thought, reacting to it with vibrations, regardless of whether this thought comes from the outside (from the mind of another person) or from the inside (from the mind of the owner of the body).
Let us consider the influence of these mental impulses, both internal and external, on the astral body.
As we already know, it permeates the physical body and spreads further in all directions from it, like a colored cloud. Its color depends on the nature of a person - on his lower, animal, passionate nature, and that part of it that extends beyond the physical body is called the Kamic aura, since it belongs to the Kama body (or body of desire), usually called the astral body of a person *.
__________
* The idea of the possibility of separating the “aura” from a person, as if it represents something different from him, is erroneous, although from the point of view of the observer it looks quite natural. In ordinary language, the aura is a cloud that envelops the body; and indeed, a person lives at each level in the shell that most closely corresponds to this level, and all his shells or bodies interpenetrate each other; the lowest and smallest of these sheaths is usually called the “body,” and the substances of the other sheaths mixed with the body are called the aura (in the case when they extend beyond the body). The Kamic aura, therefore, represents that part of the Kama body that extends beyond the physical body.
After all, the astral body is the bearer of human kamic consciousness, the container of all animal passions and desires, the center of feelings in which, as already mentioned, all sensations arise. Vibrating under the influence of thoughts, it constantly changes its color: if a person loses his temper, it becomes covered with scarlet spots; if he is in love, pink-red waves pass over him. If a person’s thoughts are sublime and noble, then they must correspond to more subtle astral matter, and then the astral body begins to lose the coarsest and most dense particles of its astral matter of all sublevels, replacing them with particles that are more subtle and perfect.
The astral body of a person whose thoughts are of a low and animal nature looks rough, dense, opaque and has a dark color, sometimes so dark that it almost hides the contours of the physical body; while in a highly developed person the astral body - pure, transparent, brilliant and light - is a truly beautiful sight. In this case, low passions are suppressed and the purposeful activity of the mind purifies astral matter.
Thus, with our noble thoughts we cleanse our own astral body and there is no need to take any special measures in this regard.
It should also be mentioned that this internal process has a powerful influence on those thoughts that are attracted to the astral body from the outside; if the body is accustomed by its owner to bad thoughts, then from its environment it will attract to itself, like a magnet, thoughts of the same kind; while the pure astral body will react to such thoughts with the energy of repulsion and, on the contrary, will attract to itself thought-forms created from the same matter as itself.
As mentioned above, the astral body also partly depends on the physical body, and therefore it is also influenced by the purity (or, on the contrary, impurity) of this body. We have already said that the dense, liquid, gaseous and etheric matter of the physical body can be either impure or purified; either coarse or fine. Her nature, in turn, is reflected in the nature of her astral shells.
If, showing unreasonable carelessness in relation to our physical body, we allow impure particles of dense matter to penetrate into it, then we will thereby attract to our astral body the same impure particles of matter, which we would call dense astral.
And, on the contrary, if we build our dense body from pure particles of dense physical matter, then the same pure solid astral particles will be attracted to our astral bodies. Thus, by cleansing our physical body, providing it with pure food and drink and refusing to include in our diet unclean products such as animal blood (always present in meat), alcohol and the like, which pollute and coarse our bodies, we not only improve qualities of the physical carrier of our consciousness, but also to some extent we cleanse our astral body, which begins to absorb more subtle and perfect materials from the astral space.
The positive results of this process are important not only for the current earthly life, but also have an impact, as will be shown below, on the subsequent posthumous state, when a person is in the astral world, as well as on the qualities of the body that a person will acquire in his next earthly life. life.
But that’s not all: the worst types of food attract various harmful creatures from the same astral space to the astral body, since we have to deal there not only with astral matter, but also with the inhabitants of the astral world - the elementals. These are beings of a higher and lower order that exist on this level and are products of human thoughts; in the astral world there are also depraved people whose astral bodies have become the place of their imprisonment; they are called elementaries.
Elementals are attracted to those people whose astral bodies are composed of particles of a similar nature to themselves; and the elementaries, of course, are looking for people who are characterized by the same vices that were characteristic of themselves when they still lived in physical bodies.
Anyone endowed with astral vision, walking through the streets, sees crowds of disgusting elementals gathering around butcher shops; and in pubs and taverns, of course, the elements gather in large numbers, literally clinging to those who absorb alcohol, and if possible, then penetrating into the bodies of the drinkers.
Those people who build their dense bodies from such disgusting materials attract astral beings of this kind to themselves, and their environment becomes an integral part of the astral life of these people. And this happens at every sublevel of the astral plane; and if we cleanse our physical body, we thereby attract to ourselves the purer astral matter of all sublevels of the astral world.
The abilities of our astral body, of course, also depend on the materials from which we create it; if in the process of purification it gradually becomes finer and finer, reacting less and less to lower impulses, he begins to pick up more and more subtle vibrations of the astral plane. Thus, we create an instrument that, although capable by its very nature of responding to impulses coming to it from the outside, gradually loses the ability to respond to lower vibrations, but in return acquires a new ability to respond to vibrations of a higher order, that is, it is tuned to perception only high notes.
To obtain a response vibration of a certain frequency, we can take a piece of wire and properly calculate its diameter, length and tension; in the same way, we can tune our astral body so that a response vibration arises in it only in those cases when the sounds of high harmonies are heard in the world around us.
The above is not intellectual speculation or hypothesis. This is an indisputable scientific fact. If in the first case we tune a wire or string to a certain tonality, then in the second case we can tune the “strings” of our astral body in the same way. In both cases the same Law of cause and effect operates; We turn only to the Law, only in the Law do we seek refuge, and only in the Law do we trust.
All we need is knowledge, and even the will to put this knowledge into practice. At first you can simply take note of this knowledge, then you can test it, treating it solely as a hypothesis that does not contradict the facts that are known to you from the lower world; and subsequently, when, following this knowledge, you cleanse your astral body, you will be convinced that this is not just a hypothesis, but real knowledge: the hypothesis will turn into a coherent theory for you, thanks to your own observations and acquired experience.
Thus, our ability to penetrate into the astral world and gain the ability to act purposefully in it depends primarily on this process of purification. Yoga knows several specific methods for developing the astral sense organs, which are quite reasonable and safe for health. But those who follow these methods, neglecting the simplest preparatory means of purification, would do well to learn about them.
Usually people are very willing to take on new, hitherto unknown methods of accelerating progress, but if people do not want to apply even these preparatory recommendations in their daily lives, then instructing them in Yoga is useless.
Suppose someone begins to teach some simple form of Yoga to an untrained person. At first, the latter takes up its study with great willingness and enthusiasm, due to its novelty and exoticism, and also because he hopes to obtain visible results in the very near future. But in less than a year he will get tired of the daily stress it requires and will be disappointed by the lack of immediate effect; unaccustomed to persistent efforts, which also need to be repeated day after day, he will simply break down and give up these activities; the novelty will disappear, and fatigue will become more and more noticeable.
If a person cannot or does not want to fulfill even the simplest and relatively easy condition - to cleanse his physical and astral bodies at the cost of temporary self-denial, which would allow him to get rid of attachment to bad habits in eating and drinking - then he has nothing to strive for. more complex exercises, which, although they may initially attract him with their novelty, will soon inevitably be abandoned by him as an unbearable burden.
Until these simple and humble methods are practiced for at least some time, even talking about any special methods of teaching will be useless; but in the process of purification, new abilities will begin to manifest themselves. The student will feel that knowledge is gradually pouring into him, his vision becomes sharper, he begins to feel vibrations acting on him from all sides, which he could never have felt in those days when he was deaf and blind.
Sooner or later, depending on his past karma, he will reach such a state; and just as a child learning the alphabet rejoices that he can already read a book, this student will joyfully feel that opportunities are now known and available to him that he could not even dream of in the days of his carelessness: new horizons will open up before him knowledge and new insights into the universe.
Now, if we briefly consider the functioning of the astral body in a state of sleep and in a state of wakefulness, then we will immediately and without difficulty understand how it acts when it itself becomes a carrier of consciousness, without the participation of a dense body.
If we consider the astral body of a person while he is sleeping and when he is awake, we will notice one very characteristic difference: when a person is awake, all his astral activities - changing colors and the like - take place within the physical body itself and in the immediate vicinity From him; but when a person sleeps, the astral and physical bodies are separated from each other, and while the physical body - both the dense body and the etheric double - rest peacefully in bed, the astral body floats above them *.

If a person has average development, then his astral body, being separated from the physical, is a formless mass, as was already said above; it cannot move a significant distance from the physical body, cannot serve as a carrier of consciousness; and a person in it can only remain in a very vague, half-asleep state, not being adapted to activities outside his physical carrier. In fact, he is almost completely immersed in sleep, since he has no instrument at this level with which he could act: he cannot receive any specific impulses from the astral world and cannot, in turn, clearly manifest himself through an incompletely formed astral body.
The sensation centers of this body can be influenced by thought-forms passing through it, and it will respond to those stimuli which affect the lower nature; but on the whole it will give the observer the impression of a sleeping and formless object, not performing any definite action, merely floating, like a passive embryo, over the sleeping physical body. If anything happens to further distance the astral body from its physical companion, the latter will awaken and the astral body will immediately reunite with it.
But if we consider the same question, taking a highly developed person, that is, one who could act on the astral level, using his astral body for this, then we will see that when his physical body goes into sleep, and the astral is separated from it , then it is an exact copy of the physical body of this person, moreover, in full consciousness; his astral body is fully formed and has clear outlines, it looks exactly the same as the person himself, and can serve him as a carrier of consciousness (and it must be said that this carrier is much more convenient than a physical one). At the same time, a person is awake and can act in this body more actively and more perfectly and is endowed with a better ability of cognition than when he was limited to the framework of a dense physical carrier; he can easily and with great speed move over any distance, without causing the slightest disturbance to the physical body sleeping in bed.
If this person is not yet perfect enough to connect his physical and astral vehicles with each other, then when the astral body is separated from the physical body during the latter’s sleep, a gap in consciousness will occur; that is, although on the astral level a person will be in a state of wakefulness and in full consciousness, he will still not be able to transmit to his physical brain information about the actions he performed during the sleep of the physical body even after he returns to his denser carrier; Thus, his "waking" consciousness - as we usually call the most limited form of our consciousness - will know nothing about his stay in the astral world, but not because the person himself does not know about it, but simply because his physical organism too dense to perceive the corresponding impressions.
Sometimes, after awakening the physical body, there is a feeling that we experienced something in a dream, but we cannot remember what exactly; however, this very sensation indicates that consciousness performed some actions in the astral world, outside the physical body, although our brain is not so sensitive as to retain even an approximate memory of what actually happened.
Sometimes, however, when the astral body returns to the physical person, it is still possible to convey to the etheric double and the dense body a fleeting image of the astral world, and the latter, even after waking up, retains a clear memory of the events experienced in the astral world; however, this memory quickly disappears and then cannot be restored; all attempts to restore it make the likelihood of success even more elusive, since in doing so we strain our physical brain and its strong vibrations further drown out the subtle astral vibrations.
And again, a person will still be able to transfer new knowledge to the physical brain, but he will still not be able to remember how and where this knowledge came from; in these cases, ideas will appear in the waking consciousness as if spontaneously, on their own: new options for solving problems will appear that a person could not previously think of; unexpected light will be shed on questions that previously seemed very vague. If this really happens, then this can be considered an undoubted indicator of progress, indicating that the astral body is already quite well formed and can actively operate in the astral world, although the physical body has not yet reached the proper level of sensitivity.
But sometimes there are cases when a person still manages to establish contact with the physical brain; in these cases we have very clear, consistent, meaningful dreams - such dreams are sometimes experienced by the most thoughtful people. These dreams look as real as the “waking” state, and in them one can even acquire knowledge that can be useful in physical life. All these are stages of progress, marking the gradual evolution and improvement of the astral body.
But, on the other hand, we should not forget that those people whose spirituality is progressing noticeably and very quickly, quite possibly, have been active and beneficial for themselves for a long time in the astral world. While their physical brain may retain absolutely no memory of this activity, their lower consciousness will note an ever-increasing degree of enlightenment and an ever-deepening knowledge of spiritual truth. And yet all disciples, no matter how blind their physical memory is to their supra-physical life, can always rely with all conviction as a source of constant encouragement on one certain fact: as we learn to work for the good others and become more and more useful to the world, as our devotion to the Elder Brothers of humanity grows stronger and our determination to help them even more actively in their great work, we, without a doubt, improve our astral body and our ability to act in it, becoming this makes even more useful employees. Whether our physical memory is involved or not, we always leave our physical prison when we fall into deep sleep and work usefully in the astral world, helping people whom we could not help in any other way, supporting and reassuring them, which we would never have been able to do if we were still in the physical body.
Such evolution is available to those whose minds are pure, whose thoughts are sublime, and whose hearts are eager to serve. Such people can act in the astral world for many years and at the same time their lower consciousness will not know anything about it and will not even suspect what incredible, by its standards, abilities its owner uses, acting for the good of the world; It is precisely such people, if their karma allows it, who manage to achieve a holistic, continuous consciousness, freely moving between the physical and astral worlds; they manage to create a bridge along which memory passes from one world to another without any effort, and in this case a person, returning from the astral world, again puts on his physical attire, no longer losing a single grain of memory of what he has just experienced . All who have chosen the path of Service can be absolutely sure of this.
And one day they will actually gain this continuous consciousness; and then life for them will no longer be a series of days of work remaining in memory and nights of oblivion, but their physical bodies will receive the rest they need, they themselves will use their astral bodies to work in the astral world; and there will be no break in their thoughts: not when they leave the physical body; not when they have already left him; not when they return and re-enter their physical form. And such consciousness will remain week after week, year after year, continuous and tireless; and this will be the final proof of the existence of an individual true Being, and of the fact that the body is to Her only a garment, which She either puts on or leaves at her pleasure, and that the body itself is in no way the only receptacle of thought and life. This will serve to confirm that although the body is necessary for both life and thought, without it both are even more active and even more free.
Having reached this stage, a person begins to understand the world and the meaning of his life in this world much better than before; begins to understand more clearly what prospects will open up to him in the future and what capabilities more advanced people have. He gradually realizes that a person’s acquisition of physical and then astral consciousness is not the limit and that higher are even more subtle levels of consciousness, which he can also achieve - one after another, acquiring the ability to act at these higher levels, acquiring the ability to travel to more and more new worlds and discover more and more new abilities; and he will do all this while continuing to serve the Blessed Teachers in their work of enlightening humanity. And then a person’s physical life will begin to acquire its true proportions, and nothing in this physical world will influence him as it did before, when he did not yet know about a richer, more meaningful life, and even “death” will no longer have of the same meaning as before, neither for himself nor for those whom he seeks to help. Earthly life will take its rightful place, turning into a small segment of human activity, and will no longer look as gloomy as it usually looked before, since the light of the higher spheres will illuminate even its darkest corners.
Let us now take a break from studying the functions and capabilities of the astral body and consider some phenomena associated with it.
Phenomena of the astral body
The astral body can appear to other people outside of its physical counterpart both during the earthly life of its owner and after it. Of course, one who has perfectly mastered the art of controlling his astral body can leave his physical body at any time and travel in astral form to any distance. And if the person to whom the traveler in the astral body decides to pay a visit has clairvoyance, i.e. with astral vision, he will be able to see his guest in his astral body; if this person does not possess clairvoyance, then the guest can slightly condense his astral carrier, absorbing into it particles of physical matter from the atmosphere surrounding him - thus the astral body can “materialize” enough so that it can be seen with physical vision. This explains many phenomenal appearances of images of friends and acquaintances who are quite far away at this time.
Such phenomena occur more often than many people realize, as shy people often choose to keep quiet about it for fear of being ridiculed for believing such “superstitions.” Fortunately, this fear is weakening more and more, and if people still have enough courage and common sense to talk about what they saw with their own eyes, then we will soon hear a lot of evidence that the astral bodies of people often appear at a considerable distance from those places. where their physical carriers are located at this time.
Under certain circumstances, these astral images can be seen even by those who have not yet developed astral vision, even if people appearing in astral bodies do not resort to materialization. If a person’s physical nervous system is overstrained and the physical body is weakened (for example, by illness), then the vital energy in it pulsates weaker than usual; at the same time, the dependence of nervous activity on the etheric double increases, which sharply increases its sensitivity. Under such conditions, a person can temporarily become clairvoyant. For example, a mother - who knows that her son, who is somewhere abroad, is seriously ill, and whose strength is exhausted by worry about him - may become susceptible to astral vibrations, especially during the night hours, when vital energy decreases to its minimum level ; if her son also thinks about her at this time, and his physical body is immersed in an unconscious state, then his astral body can be transported to her, and it is quite possible that she will see him.
Most often, such movements occur immediately after the astral body is expelled from the physical body by the “death” of the latter. Such phenomena arise quite often, especially when a person passionately desires to see someone with whom he is bound by bonds of love, or if he strives to convey certain information to someone, but dies before he can fulfill this desire.
If we follow the released astral body after the death of the dense body and its etheric double, we will notice the changes occurring in it. At the time when it was connected with the physical body, the sublevels of astral matter in it were mixed with each other: denser and thinner sublevels interpenetrated each other. After “death,” they are rearranged: particles belonging to different sublevels are separated from each other; There is a kind of sorting of particles according to their degree of density. As a result, the astral body stratifies or turns into a system of concentric shells, the outermost of which is the densest. And here we again return to the need to cleanse our astral body during our earthly life, since we notice that after “death” it cannot move at will in the astral world; this world consists of seven sublevels, and a person is forced to stay at the sublevel to which the matter of his outer shell belongs. And only when this outer shell dissipates does it move to the next sublevel, and so on - from one sublevel to another.
The astral body of a person with a very low, animal nature will consist of the most dense and coarse astral matter, which will retain him within the lowest level of Kamaloka; and until this shell is completely destroyed, a person will have to remain a prisoner of this part of the astral world and endure all the inconveniences associated with this far from enviable position.
When his outermost shell is destroyed so thoroughly that a person can break out of it, he will move on to the next sub-level of the astral world, or, more precisely, he will be able to pick up the vibrations of the next sub-level of astral matter, which will reach him as if from another world; there he will remain until the shell of his sixth sublevel is destroyed and he can move to the fifth.
The duration of stay at each sublevel is determined by how strong the corresponding parts of his nature are, that is, how much astral matter of a particular sublevel is contained in his astral body. For example, the more matter it contains, corresponding to the dense sublevels, the longer it will remain in the lower sublevels of Kamaloka; and the more of these elements we manage to remove from the astral body here (on earth), the shorter our delay on the other side of “death” will be.
But even in those cases where the most dense astral materials have not yet completely evaporated (and their complete destruction is a rather long and complex process), consciousness during earthly life can so stubbornly resist the influence of low passions that the matter in which they could to find its reflection, it will lose its ability to actively act as a carrier of consciousness, that is, if expressed, following a physical analogy, it will atrophy. In this case, although the person will still have to remain for some time on the lower sublevels of the astral world, he will sleep peacefully all this time and will thus not feel any disturbances associated with these sublevels; his consciousness, having lost the ability to respond to vibrations of this kind of matter, will not be able to contact in the astral world with objects consisting of it.
For a person who has purified his astral body so much that it contains only the purest and most subtle elements of each sublevel (so subtle that raise the tone of their vibration even a little more, and they will move on to the next sublevel), the passage through Kamaloka will be truly fleeting.
Between every two adjacent sublevels of matter there is a point, which is conventionally called critical; Ice can be heated to such a temperature that if you add even a drop of heat to it, it will turn into water; The water, in turn, can be heated so that any slight increase in temperature will turn it into steam.
In the same way, the matter of any astral sublevel can be brought to such a degree of subtlety that any further refinement of it will already transfer it to the next sublevel. And if this is done with the matter of each of the sublevels of the astral body, if it is purified to the utmost possible degree, then the passage through Kamaloka will be unimaginably fast and nothing will prevent a person’s rapid flight through this region to even higher worlds.
And one more fact connected with the purification of the astral body by both physical and mental methods should be mentioned, namely, the effect that this purification has on the new astral body, which will be formed in the next incarnation after a certain period of time.
When moving from Kamaloka to Devachan, a person cannot carry any bad thoughts there with him; astral matter cannot exist at the level of Devachan, and Devachan matter cannot respond to gross vibrations generated by evil passions and desires. Consequently, after a person shakes off the remnants of his astral body, he will be able to retain with him only latent tendencies, which will again manifest themselves as bad desires and passions in the astral world, finding in it a nutrient medium (or, rather, the possibility of manifestation) . A person has to take them with him, but throughout his life in the world of Devachan they remain in a latent state. When he is reborn again, all these tendencies resume their manifestation; To do this, they attract to themselves - by analogy with the attraction of a magnet - those materials of the astral world that would contribute to their manifestation and, clothed in astral matter corresponding to their own nature, become part of the astral body of a person in his upcoming birth.
Thus, the astral body is given to us not only for one earthly life, it also shapes the type of astral body that will be given to us in the next birth - and this is another reason why we should try to purify our astral body to the greatest extent possible ; thereby we will place our present knowledge at the service of our future perfection.
All our lives are interconnected, and not one of them can be separated from all previous ones, as well as from all subsequent ones. In fact, we have only one life, and those periods of time that we call lives can be considered its days. We never begin a new life with a blank page on which the presentation of a completely different story begins; we are only opening a new chapter, developing the previous plot.
“Death” does not at all free us from our karmic debts, just as tomorrow does not free us from our debts today, even if these two days are separated by a night’s sleep; the debt we take on today will remain with us tomorrow, and this will continue until we pay it off in full.
Human life is continuous; and individual earthly births are firmly connected with each other, there is no emptiness between them.
The process of purification and development also continues constantly throughout many successive earthly lives. Sooner or later, each of us must take action; sooner or later, but everyone will be fed up with the sensations caused by the lower nature, will get tired of submitting to animal passions and the tyranny of the senses. And then the person will no longer want to obey and will decide that the chains that bind him must be broken. And in fact, why should we extend the period of our slavery if we ourselves can end it at any moment? No one can restrain us except ourselves; but no one except us can bring us freedom.
Each of us is endowed with the right of choice and free will; and if we are all destined to one day meet each other in the higher world, then why don’t we break the chains of our slavery right now and claim our divine birthright?
The beginning of liberation from shackles and gaining freedom is a person’s determination to subordinate his lower nature to his higher one, to begin to build his higher bodies already here, at the level of physical consciousness, and to master those higher abilities that should be inherent in him by right of his divine origin, but cannot be realized by the animal in which he is forced to live.
The astral body is the body of desires and emotions, so another name for it is the emotional body. The astral body is subject not only to stressful situations, but also to influence from the person himself. He is also not influenced by the emotions, desires and feelings of other people.
Having a good astral body is the dream of any sane person. Positive emotions pump energy into the astral body, compact it, and remove blocks. Negative emotions can penetrate the astral body of both the person himself and the one to whom these negative emotions are directed.
If a person scolds you, it means he demands something from you. And if, when trying to extinguish the conflict “let’s better drink coffee,” nothing happened, then you have a classic vampire with whom there is no point in talking at all.
There are various methods to avoid emotional shock. You can transfer an astral blow directed at you to another person. You can, while remaining internally calm, also respond with abuse, or you can not answer anything.
All positive emotions are a set of energy. Those. we sat down, imagined a forest, a field, a river, a sea, mountains, whatever was more pleasant to whom, and there was a powerful gain of energy.
Music that you like also gives you a set of good energy.
Injuries can form on the astral body due to depression, pain, resentment, and grief.
Sometimes emotions overwhelm our consciousness and it is very difficult for a person to live in the physical world because of such a powerful emotional level. Our emotions are what hinder our karmic movement in this world. Emotions can stop our business, interfere with our family life, and prevent us from succeeding in our spiritual movement in this incarnation.
There are all kinds of methods and ways of working with emotions, working with the astral body.
If a person does not show his emotions, then most likely, an increased emotional background exists within the person. And a person’s task is not to hide this emotional energy inside, but to allow it to come out without causing damage to others or to turn it into a plus, which is also possible.
The biggest loss is when our negative emotions, coming out, pierce the astral body. And under severe stress, a violation of the integrity of the etheric body on the one hand and the mental and karmic body on the other is possible. And all kinds of vampires rush into these holes and begin to siphon energy from us. Therefore, it is important not to let emotions break through the energy shell.
What are the possible methods of protecting the astral body?
In the Alchemy of Success method there is a formula for acceptance, it sounds like this: “I accept the situation as it is and I take away my reaction to this situation.” Those. when our emotional background suddenly begins to sharply go beyond our boundaries and tries to push us to some negative actions, then we pronounce the formula of acceptance and take away the emotional energy that is ready to come out of us.
Basically, astral emotional energy comes out of the solar plexus. If we want to scold someone or are ready to attack someone, then we can feel some kind of lump in the solar plexus that begins to move through the chakras and in the Vishutha area begins to come out of us. At this moment, pronouncing the formula for accepting the situation, we feel how the emotional energy goes back into the solar plexus.
There are people who are annoyed by everything in this world, from buying bread to business and relationships with people. There are people who are irritated by specific things. There is no limit to perfection.
What could be the weaknesses of the astral body, and why can the astral body be weak? These are emotions that we cannot cope with. Desires that overwhelm us. The weakness of the etheric body also weakens the astral body. Weakness of the mental body also weakens the astral body. Oaths and promises are tied to the person or egregor to whom they are given, which also affects the astral body.
How to act in astral contacts is the choice of each of us. You can leave the vampire, you can continue to contact him, you can feed him, give him water. It's your personal choice.
Desires are the next part of our astral body. And our desires can work both to create something in this world, and to select something from us. If we sit down in meditation for 15-20 minutes and begin to imagine tomorrow as we want it to be, this is construction. If we want throughout the day or at least 2-3 hours in a row, then we already live these desires, our 3rd eye works so colorfully, we lustfully imagine all this that we are already living them. And materialization does not occur. Those. If you think about a wish all day, it will definitely not come true.
In “Alchemy of Success”, for example, there is such a method, it is called “cash flow”, and every day for 10 minutes you imagine that it is raining money. And if you present all day, then the next day you may not be paid your salary, you may not be repaid. Those. there was a kind of oversupply.
Our desires can elevate us, they can suppress us, they can pull us out of the swamp, or they can bury us. Therefore, one must treat desires very, very carefully. If all your desires have disappeared, then you need to invent something, wish for something, so that this new desire will carry you through life. And this new desire, like a reactor, will produce new and new energy that will help in this life.
Astral diseases are very pronounced in women, mainly thyroid and gynecology. And if a woman brings her emotions to a normal state, then these diseases go away. Meditation is a panacea for this severe tension, for stress. Just close your eyes, count the seconds and imagine a green field in front of you. And that’s it, and you left this state.
Very often breakdowns occur in relationships between people. For example, a cardiac breakdown occurs most often during heterosexual contact, when one says to the other: “I like you,” turns around and leaves. And the other half at this time has a cardiac breakdown due to shock. How to prevent cardiac breakdown? Reply: “I like you too” or any other non-standard statement that can also be shocking.
The human astral body - what is hidden under the definition and what significance does it have for the subtle plane. Let's consider what the astral body is, what it looks like, what a person is like on the subtle plane, how to develop and cleanse the astral part.
In the article:
What is the human astral body
Man has seven bodies, just like chakras. The astral body is the second in a row among the subtle components - after the etheric. Each is controlled by one of the .
Externally, the energy body looks like something like a shell of the physical body. The thickness can be from 20 to 40 cm, sometimes more. The thickness of the astral body depends on the degree of development. There are various holes and damage after energy or magical attacks.
The astral body is controlled by Manipura - the solar plexus chakra. Manipura is responsible for energy strength and protection. The astral component performs similar functions: with its help, rituals are performed and conspiracies are read. The personal energy that magicians turn to as the source of the active power of spells is the reserves of the astral nature. The prerequisites for events in the physical world are laid on the astral plane.
The energy body performs protective functions. If a person, for example, ever imagined a mirror between himself and, an obstacle appeared on the astral plane. Natural protection is enhanced by special rituals or talismans; you can use special methods for developing the astral body.
The astral essence is involved in any energetic and magical confrontations. The astral body provides the necessary level of protection from foreign attacks and provides resources for attacks on enemies. In the normal state, when energy protection is not required, it manifests itself in the form of feelings and emotions.
In the worst case, the thin body looks like an old, equal rag hanging around a person. People cannot stand up for themselves either physically or energetically. A person with a harmoniously developed astral body is strong physically, spiritually and energetically, is not used to indulging weaknesses, and is endowed with a strong will and bright temperament.
What is the subtle plan of a person
Subtle plane - subtle bodies. Their totality forms
, which is visible if you develop or . There are seven bodies in total, and each corresponds to one of the chakras.
Most modern witchcraft traditions do not divide the aura or subtle plane into components. They work with the aura as a whole: they cleanse and strengthen, tuning in. The aura has many different functions, just like the seven bodies.
Working on a subtle plan in separate parts is more effective by concentrating on individual problems. Everyone has problems with their energy system. Long-term work on yourself can eliminate shortcomings.
How to develop the astral body
The degree of development of the astral body is as useful as working on strengthening the physical body. It is a part of the body, like an arm or a leg. The subtle plane provides the level of magical power, personal energy protection, the ability to influence people, charisma and the ability to make an impression. Personality with weak astral constantly suffers from troubles designed to give rise to the development of the subtle plan. Emotions are raw and primitive. People with a weak astral prefer spicy and heavy foods.
On life, well-being and charactersignificantly influencesstate of the subtle plane and astral essence. The development of the astral essence strengthens character and will, has a positive effect on health and immunity, communication with people and the growth of authority. If this is a magician, it is impossible to do without a way to increase your energy supply and magical power.
How to develop the astral body? Strengthening is closely related to development work. Learn information related to the chakra. They develop the qualities necessary for normal work of the subtle plane: courage, responsibility, self-discipline. Exercises for developing energy potential, which are aimed at strengthening subtle energies, will be useful.
Natural training of the subtle bodies occurs during fights of any nature. A person must defend his own opinion, learn to convince other people, influence and show strength. Finding an opportunity to enter into a dispute is not difficult - there are a lot of forums on the Internet on various topics. You should learn to defend your own ideals. Physical fights are no less beneficial than physical activity. you need to sign up for sports classes or train at home.
Meditations have a positive effect on the layers of the subtle plane. Training in awareness in a dream, astral projection and other techniques develops the astral body. If the astral component is too weak, it is difficult to achieve anything meaningful in the direction. If you take up the study of the astral plane, you should perceive not only the physical body, but develop holistically, so that development becomes complete.
Cleaning the astral body - what is it for and how to do it
The body on the astral plane needs care. It must be nourished, cleansed of impurities, and given rest. The component is not able to take physical food - positive emotions and impressions are necessary. They are obtained from listening to pleasant music, watching films, reading books, visiting various exhibitions and museums, and beautiful places in nature. Measures prevent contamination on the subtle planes and help heal damage.
Absorb the energy of the Universe through your breaths.
Cleansing the astral body is aimed not only at cleansing, but also at development. The subtle plane becomes contaminated with heavy negative emotions, while staying on lower levels of the astral plane, harmful entities, low-spiritual actions and feelings of guilt.
It is advisable to be able to sense impurities so that the question of how to cleanse the astral body is not pressing: the solution is clear on an intuitive level. Flair comes with experience if you practice hard. As you exhale, you release negative emotions, experiences, bad thoughts through Manipura; while inhaling, you absorb through the chakra the energy of the Universe, which is scattered around, spreading it throughout the astral body. Repeat the exercise every day for several minutes.
Positive thinking prevents the energy structure from becoming polluted. You should pay less attention to negative thoughts. Thinking in a positive way will affect your quality of life, character, energy level and even magical abilities.
The astral body is one of the seven components of the subtle body or aura. Performs protective and offensive functions if the conflict comes to energy or magical attacks. This is a natural protection that is given from birth. The astral plane is also responsible for magical abilities, energy levels, health and well-being, willpower and character.
