My astral projection experiences have taught me just how important the heart is in many ways, our heart is not just a pump that keeps the blood flowing, it is also  the centre that keeps our energy flowing. The heart is the centre of love and of joy.

When I was a child I remember waking up in the summer holidays with the whole day for me, I remember the joy I felt just being, playing in the garden, doing stuff that kids do. That feeling of joy is important in our lives, we need to have a joy reference that we can connect to in those moments in our lives when we need to lift up our spirits. So what has this got to do with astral projection?

Well it turned out that the feeling of joy, my joy reference, actually came in very handy when dealing with fear and negative energy. Some people desire to practise astral projection but their fear stops them, this is normal it is relatively unknown territory from our perspective as human on Earth. We don’t know who or what we might meet, this never changes, each time you have an out-of-body experience you cannot predict what may happen, our adventures may be a little similar at times but each person has their own world, their own experiences, to dive into. We can, however, train ourselves to react in ways which will help us deal with whatever may be thrown at us; apart from remaining objective, here I wish to discuss the importance of joy in dealing with fear. This is why the heart is so important in astral projection it is the centre of love and joy.

I always warn people not to practise astral projection if they are not mentally stable or if they are depressed, this is because in the astral like attracts like so what you feel is reflected back at you. If you attempt to project and feel afraid then you my indeed start to see ominous shadows on the wall etc., this is why it is important to project in a state of joy and this is where the heart comes in. Take a moment now to access joy, think of a time when you felt true joy, I’m not talking about enjoyment or fun, I’m talking about innocent joy, try to feel where that joy lives…..it is in the heart. Love is the same, you can do the same with love. If you are want to astral project but are afraid then you must visualise yourself somewhere you love to be, feel the joy entering your heart as you see yourself flying around in that place. My favourite place was my parents’ garden as I was always in the garden as a child, it became my astral base camp, sometimes I still find myself there just after exit.

So the heart centre is very important in dealing with fear, I was never afraid of having out-of-body experiences, that part I just took in my stride, maybe because back in those days there wasn’t so much information around and so there weren’t as many scary experiences to read about. Ignorance is bliss so they say. However, once I started having out of body experiences regularly so I started to have a few scary adventures, now I don’t want to put anyone off here but I do believe in being honest and to say that out-of-body experiences are all light and love would be false, maybe this is true for some people but it certainly hasn’t been true for me. This could be because my goal in astral projection has been growth, so in order to grow I’ve had to face a few inner demons. This has indeed made me stronger and taught me how to deal with negativity, this is where the heart for me has been my biggest ally. In a recent OBE there was a negative entity next to my bed, I have done a podcast episode about this, it got in bed with me, I wasn’t at all afraid, I felt waves of energy coming from my heart, the neg disappeared it was a powerful experience. In other experiences when confronted with negativity I have filled my heart with joy and love, this immediately repels the negative energy whereas feeling fear just feeds it, fear breeds fear. This is why it is so important to remain centred in love and joy.

Lately as I have said in other podcast episodes I have been doing a lot of heart chakra work and a few of my OBEs have directly reflected this, I have seen my heart chakra as a kind of powerful generator capable of producing incredible energy, if it can do this in the astral then why not in the physical.

In the physical our hearts are suffering, heart attacks are becoming more common this is the heart breaking, lack of the proper nourishment can break the heart, including the wrong food, too many pills, but also negative emotions, stress and over-sacrificing yourself. The heart needs to be nourished that’s why for example, having a dog helps the heart, they are so full of joy and love you can’t help responding. The heart also needs spiritual nourishment.

My goal when I first started my inner journey was to find the answer to the question ‘Who am I?’ I had a deep longing to connect to something bigger than me, that longing was in my heart, it was the desire to connect to the spiritual world and it was that desire in the end that led me to my first out-of-body experience. It was like a magnet drawing me forever inward, from dreams, to lucid dreams and then to OBEs.

So my heart has taken me into the spiritual realms and has saved me many a time from negative energy, helping me to grow stronger.

We are living in a difficult period, it may be difficult to feel that joy but this is life on Earth, there will probably always be challenges; we may not be able to change some things but we can change how we react, how we feel inside, in the long run if we all make our hearts stronger the power of the heart can help us with our physical challenges as it has helped me with my astral ones.

Happy Travels,
