Summary
Astral projection poses no danger: the silver cord does not break, consciousness always returns to the body, and any physical marks result from emotional somatization. Fear impairs lucidity, and frightening apparitions may be thought-forms; the consciousnesses encountered are usually family members. Relaxation, breathing, and the circulation and exteriorization of energy promote lucidity, while calmness prolongs the experience. Working with emotions makes it possible to use projection as a tool for self-knowledge, including when facing difficult experiences from past lives, which are accessed only when one is emotionally prepared. The experience broadens understanding of life, death as a transition, and reality beyond the physical.

Let us explore the experience of astral projection. During sleep, our consciousness moves to the astral body. This phenomenon occurs with everyone, although most people remain asleep and without lucidity on the astral plane. The aim is to keep the consciousness active in the astral body, gaining knowledge about life, multidimensionality, and death, which is only a transition to existence in the spiritual world.
Astral projection expands our consciousness and understanding as we manifest lucidly on the astral plane. This gives us the opportunity to explore reality beyond the physical, enriching our spiritual experience. Trauma and fears can block the separation of the bodies and lucidity during the astral experience. Fear is strongly related to this blockage. When we seek lucidity in the astral body, we also seek it in the physical body, in the evolutionary sense.
If we are unconscious in the astral body, what can we do to awaken? Let us talk about our fears and what people consider dangerous, in order to use astral projection as a tool for self-knowledge and for understanding the symbolic universe and human consciousness. This helps us understand the origin of suffering, illnesses, and existence.
Many people are afraid to practice astral projection for fear of being attacked by evil spirits. In fact, we are all accompanied by spiritual consciousnesses, whether family members or disincarnated friends, with energy patterns similar to ours. The fear of encountering an evil spirit does not have much basis because these consciousnesses already accompany us.
At the beginning of astral projection practice, you may not even see these consciousnesses. With time and practice, you begin to perceive them. It is rare to encounter evil spirits; they are usually spirits close to us, such as family members. It is important to pay attention to our energetic productions because we attract spirits with the same pattern. Our thoughts and emotions can create thought-forms that look like frightening consciousnesses but are only mental creations.
I will share two personal examples. My husband died almost two years ago, and one night, while I was practicing at the house where he spent most of his time, I felt his presence in the bed, with physical touch. I was frightened, but I used my knowledge to exteriorize energy and overcome the fear. Before any practice, it is essential to cleanse the environment energetically. Another example: during a clairvoyance practice at Sítio St. Damian, I saw my father, who died a little over a year ago, a paternal aunt who lives in Japan and whom I believe has died, my maternal grandmother, and other family members. The consciousnesses that appear are usually family members, reinforcing that there is no reason for fear.
As we change our thought patterns over time, we can undo thought-forms. This is possible through the work of exteriorization of energies to cleanse the environment. I used to have the habit of swearing and speaking more aggressively. With time and the knowledge I acquired, I completely left that pattern behind. I worked on my emotions, difficulties, and anger, especially in relation to coworkers and family members. Thus, by changing our thought patterns and performing energetic cleansing, we can undo these thought-forms.
It is beneficial to perform a self-administered energy pass. We use the palmar chakra to direct energies to the crown chakra, promoting exteriorization of energy. This helps considerably. When your energies are in order, the baby feels it too. The safest option is to perform self-laying on of hands over your crown chakra. This will benefit both of you. Relaxation and breathing techniques are essential for improving the circulation of energy and promoting relaxation, allowing a present and peaceful connection for astral projection.
Many people are afraid of the silver cord, believing that it can break during astral projection. The silver cord is an energy body that connects the physical and astral bodies. There is no risk of it breaking or of death during astral projection. In addition, we have existential programming, a script that determines where we will be born, into which family, and in which profession, to make better use of our incarnations. Therefore, there is no danger in astral projection.
If I could be born again, I would like to be in an environment with good energies. With around 7 to 8 billion people on Earth, burdened by emotional problems such as anger, envy, jealousy, resentment, and sadness, we end up overloading the planet with our emotional energies. It is important to check whether these apparitions are thought-forms created by us. When projected, with low lucidity, we may not clearly perceive what is in front of us. In astral projection experiences, when we leave our bedroom, we often do not recognize the environment because objects such as doors and electrical outlets appear to be in the wrong places.
To improve lucidity, it is necessary to work on personal evolution, allowing us to see more clearly. The astral world is highly malleable, and we can modify the appearance of projected consciousnesses, making it difficult to identify people we know. Exteriorization of energy before and during astral projection is recommended to increase lucidity and drive away unwanted spiritual consciousnesses.
The answer is that we always return. Any movement in the physical environment, such as that of your partner, or sensations of fear cause us to return to the physical body. It is important to control emotions such as euphoria and anxiety during projection because they also bring us back. Remaining calm is essential to prolong the out-of-body experience.
Outside the body, we may experience difficulties, as though we were in slow motion, making actions such as running or flying difficult. Water is an immanent energy that helps with energetic cleansing. Practices involving circulation of energy and breathing are also essential for discarding the dense energies accumulated throughout the day. During projection, this work is essential to avoid the sensation of "slow motion" and allow us to fly freely.
To distinguish a thought-form from an obsessing consciousness, it is necessary to improve lucidity. Over time, you will perceive the difference through exteriorization of energy and a change in thinking. During clairvoyance practices, it is possible to visualize these forms. Communication with consciousnesses is possible, especially with those that have a vibratory pattern similar to ours. Thought-forms, by contrast, do not allow this interaction.
When you feel stings on your face as you approach your husband, this may be a reflection of fear. In reality, there is no reason for concern. Work on fear through exteriorization and circulation of energy. On the astral plane, just as on the physical plane, we can overcome our fears. Emotional issues can somatize, but what occurs in the astral body has no physical repercussions unless it is an emotional somatization. Therefore, it is crucial to work on fear in the physical body to ensure that it does not interfere with astral experiences.
Be certain that injuries will not manifest physically because of astral experiences unless they are generated by emotional issues. Physiologically, yes, we are in astral projection, but we commonly use the term astral projection for the experience in which we are on the astral plane with some lucidity, perceiving both the physical plane and the astral dimension. For example, Moisés, our founder, has almost 100% lucidity and can see the physical plane without distortions. He has practiced astral projection with high lucidity since the age of six.
Moisés does not achieve an absolute 100% lucidity because he must keep a small part of his consciousness linked to the physical body, but he has absolute control over his actions and destinations. Most people, however, remain unconscious during sleep, with the astral body floating above the physical body, without making use of this opportunity on the astral plane. We can help those who have died through laying on of hands. Astral projection with lucidity can help overcome this apparent barrier between you and your loved ones.
Regarding the danger of encountering a black hole during astral projection, this is not a concern for beginners. An advanced level of evolution and consciousness is necessary to explore directions in the universe and travel through time. For beginners, the focus should be on first finding our direction here in our neighborhood, in our own home. As we work on our emotional issues and evolve as a consciousness, we inevitably come into contact with our present and past lives. It is important to face these fears in order to accept, work on, improve, and overcome what happened—both the bad things others did to us and those we ourselves did. With hundreds or thousands of past lives, it is inevitable that we confront these experiences.
As I came to understand more about spirituality, I realized the importance of coming into contact with difficult aspects of ourselves. It is painful because we want to believe that we are always good people and that we have never done harm, but to evolve, it is necessary to face these truths. However, there is no danger in this. Until we are emotionally prepared, we will not come into contact with these experiences, even if we have the ability to access past lives.
This emotional denial can hinder the improvement of astral projection, which is a method for connecting with who we truly are, part of our evolutionary process. Is it more efficient to stand or lie down? You can circulate energies in various ways: standing, sitting, or lying down. During astral projection practice, we are usually lying down. You can meditate or do breathing exercises before lying down and circulate energies in that position.
Marks on the body upon waking are emotional, the result of somatization, and are not physical injuries. It is possible to smell aromas such as flowers or the perfumes of deceased loved ones, as well as experience tactile and olfactory sensations. It is possible to learn a language or skill through astral projection. On the astral plane, time is different, and we do not read books sequentially. We can recover knowledge from past lives, such as playing an instrument or speaking a language, but these abilities need to be tested in the present life. Proficiency in astral projection is essential for this.
To remain more conscious during projection, one technique is exteriorization of energy. When you feel that you are losing consciousness, use your para-hands to feel the energy flowing into the environment, helping you remain conscious. Physical exercise, including strength training, helps with the circulation of energies. What can make a subtler projection more difficult is heavy food or a day of irritation and bad moods.
We often mix dreams with astral projection. Writing down everything that was seen and felt helps distinguish dreams from projections. Over time, it is possible to identify precognitions during astral projections. Relaxation is crucial, especially in the hypnagogic state, between wakefulness and sleep. Being in contact with people who have disincarnated and being asked to convey a message to family members can be considered an astral projection. It is possible that you have a connection with these disincarnated consciousnesses or with their living family members. This projection may be an attempt by these consciousnesses to make contact. To distinguish astral projection from a dream, it is important to write down the experiences.
Astral projection is a powerful tool for expanding our knowledge and experiencing spirituality. As we work in the physical world to elevate our consciousness and evolve, we gain greater lucidity in astral projection. This allows us to better understand who we are, where we came from, the purpose of our existence, and the origin of our suffering and illnesses. One thing complements the other. There is no danger in astral projection; the danger lies in our beliefs and fears, often fueled by inaccurate information. Through my own experiences, I realized that there is no danger.
