Pinch myself and say I am awake once an hour. Look at my hands, count my fingers. Look at a clock (or a watch). Look away, look back. Stay calm and focused. Think of a door.

This, according to the hugely popular Netflix series Behind Her Eyes , is how one might learn to astral project their Skittle-colored soul outside of their body and, if they’re feeling especially like Emma Watson in The Bling Ring that day, take up residence inside the vacated body of another astral projecting soul. Actually, let me rephrase that: It’s not just how one might learn to astral project in Behind Her Eyes , but how three out of four main characters learn to float their astral selves all over England while their physical bodies lie peacefully in bed. Thirty-six words of scribbled-down instruction to master a millennia-old spiritual phenomenon— this is the power of a binge-worthy Netflix thriller.

In the melodic trickle of Adele’s (Eve Hewson) voice, the directive to follow these six easy steps for curing night terrors is too intoxicating to resist. That allure is, in part, how our protagonist Louise (Simona Brown) gets tricked into evacuating her soul from her physical form, leaving her vulnerable to astral possession by the end of the series. At a kava bar in North Carolina, an expert I’ve gotten in touch with who calls himself the Water Magister will tell me that this is a highly improbable end to Louise’s mortal life due to something called “ the silver cord ” ... but we’re not quite there yet.

The astral projection and lucid dreaming in Behind Her Eyes is a little silly, a lot technicolored, and perfectly plotted. In the 2017 novel of the same name, Sarah Pinborough weaves subtle foreshadowing throughout the story to clue observant readers in to the fact that, though it may be hitting all the typical psychosexual beats, Behind Her Eyes is not your grandmother’s thriller. With the added benefit of visuals, the Netflix series serves up those hat tips toward the paranormal as early as the premiere, when a woman named Louise with a pathological inability to mind her own damn business begins having an affair with a man named David (Tom Bateman) at the exact same time she befriends his lonely wife, Adele. The story’s triple-twist ending plays out as follows (spoilers ahead, if you couldn’t already astrally deduce that): First, Adele always seems to know things she shouldn’t because she’s actually been astral projecting her spirit out of her body throughout her entire marriage to David; second, oops, Adele isn’t actually Adele, because years ago her body was inhabited by her best friend Rob (Robert Aramayo) after she taught him how to astral project, and he began coveting her picture-perfect life and fiancé; third, oops once more, because in the series’s very final moments, Rob-Adele deploys another dual-astral-projection sneak attack, this time taking over the body of Louise, who’s also been taught to astral travel, so that when David eventually marries Louise, he is actually once again just marrying Rob ...

It is a wild ride. And while it’s certainly not the first time lucid dreaming or astral projection has been used as a plot device, it is the first time it’s been deployed so casually. Behind Her Eyes wasn’t billed as a fantasy series or a science-fiction series; it doesn’t spend 162 minutes painstakingly laying out the infrastructure of how to build a triple-decker lucid dream like in Inception , or bring in a problematic Ancient One to explain astral projection’s limitless possibilities for good and evil like in Doctor Strange .

Behind Her Eyes is just a frothy thriller for which astral projection happens to be the driving force behind the plot, deployed as no more unusual a trait in its main character(s) than Amy Dunne’s narcissism or Villanelle’s natural prowess as an assassin. The final twist—and then the other final twist, and also the final final twist—suggest that we really should have suspected this homicidal Freaky Friday astral body swap all along. How else to explain all those POV shots from the ceiling moldings, or that blue light that shimmered around the edge of Louise’s apartment every time she and David took their tops off, or Adele’s heroin habit, or any number of other bits that just didn’t quite add up if astral projection wasn’t at play here.

So, the question isn’t whether Adele’s (and Rob’s, and Adele-Rob’s, and Louise’s, and Louise-Rob’s) astral projection makes sense within the world of Behind Her Eyes —it does, and I’m willing to stake my astral life on it—but whether the astral projection of Behind Her Eyes makes sense within our world. A world where astral travel is a commonly accepted spiritual practice , if not a scholarly accepted scientific one . Could lucid dreaming and astral projection really be as simple as counting your fingers before bedtime? Could pinching myself 16-ish times a day really rid me of this persistent nightmare where I can’t check out of an Airbnb on time? If I stay calm and focused, and think of a door in my dreams, could I really walk through it and figure out if my upstairs neighbors got a particularly rambunctious kitten, as I’m starting to suspect?

I intend to find out—no matter how many fingers I have to count, Marvel movies I have to watch, waking hours I have to spend lying down, teas I have to drink, experts I have to badger with emails, or astral planes I have to traverse. Because much like Louise, I’m bored, I dream about a lot of creepy houses, and I simply do not know any better. And, I guess, because the idea of exerting some control over my circumstances during a time when circumstances are so often out of my control sounds pretty damn appealing.

Both astral projection and lucid dreaming are ancient concepts that have points of credibility throughout history. Some of the effects of lucid dreaming are actually backed up by science ; and even as stodgy an entity as the U.S. Army repeatedly deployed intelligence officers to study astral projection at the Monroe Institute throughout the 1980s, as revealed by declassified CIA documents .

Though the practices are often linked in theory, their differences—both in approach and application—are vast. Lucid dreaming means gaining an awareness that you’re dreaming while you’re dreaming, at which point you obtain the power to choreograph your own dream. In your dream consciousness, you could imagine healing an emotional trauma that’s plaguing your waking life, or ask the vast data recesses of your mind for its expert career advice. Or, as in every first-person account I’ve heard, you can immediately start having wild, prolific sex. And that’s fine! The dreamscape is not a place for judgment; it’s not a place for anything but you, and whatever the hell you want to do (or, y’know, do ).

Astral projection, on the other hand, exists far beyond the confines of one’s sleeping mind. In fact, it is the practice of putting your body to bed while your mind stays awake. It fits snugly under the “out-of-body experience” umbrella: the intentional extraction of one’s astral form from one’s physical form during deep meditative or dream states. (You might notice I’m using the word “astral” a lot—the word simply refers to a nonphysical plane of existence.) Once outside of the human body, that astral form can travel wherever it wants to in the universe. Not the mind, not the world, the universe —and, if we’re really getting into it, the multiverse.

As far as I’m concerned, a successful lucid dream functioning as a gateway to successful astral projection à la Behind Her Eyes seems akin to learning how to waterski and then immediately transforming into a submarine. And yet, every expert I’ve spoken to, and every online course I’ve taken (and I have taken some), has confirmed that, as far as reputable astral projection practices go, the show has it about right. You do the reality checks, you count the fingers, you focus and stay calm while lucid dreaming, you think of a door, walk through it, and then boom: Your soul is free to travel anywhere you can imagine on the astral plane. Astral travel may not have the practical appeal of teleporting, the obvious health benefits of yoga, or the edge of witchcraft ... but as far as the mystical goes, it does have the appealing advantage of almost every adherent you encounter assuring you that you’ll probably be able to do it sooner or later if you want it badly enough.

And why would anyone want to astral travel so badly? The most righteous reason is because the spiritual community sees astral projection as a sort of radical self-care. In the astral realm, adherents say, you can heal grief through encounters with loved ones who have passed on, or embrace the physical manifestations of your past traumas, or gain insights into illnesses and relationships that you can then bring with you back into this reality. The slightly less righteous reason—the one that most on-screen depictions are banking on—is that astral travel is pure escape. You can do anything you want in the astral realm without the fear of getting arrested or making everybody mad at you. If you’re asking, “ Like WHAT, Jodi? ” just think of anything , and believe that you can do that in the astral realm. Fistfight with the Rock? You can do that there. Fly to Paris for a crepe, Costa Rica for a coffee, and Walgreens for some Tums? You can do that there. Look like Dermot Mulroney? You can do that there! Look like Dylan McDermott ? You can also do that there! Ask two beings that look like Dylan McDermott and Dermot Mulroney to kiss??? You can do that there, but be cool about it —ethics still exist in the astral realm.

For my first step onto the astral plane, I turned to the universe’s other most mystifying realm: the internet. There, I stumbled across Jade Shaw, a stylish astral projection teacher with a slick website who must also have incredibly good SEO, because I soon learned that she was also the first astral projection teacher Netflix landed on when it came a-Googlin’. One day in the summer of 2019, a production Jade had never heard of called “Behind Her Eyes” slid into her inbox to ask whether she might teach the show’s cast about astral projection. Jade agreed, and had some success with a couple of the actors: Eve Hewson had a li’l out-of-body experience , and Robert Aramayo made it to the vibrational stage.

Eventually I attended a workshop with Jade and she shared with the new astral projectors among us why someone would choose to dedicate their life to teaching others astral projection. First, she cited a Leonardo da Vinci quote that Leonardo da Vinci never actually said , but is often attributed to him in Facebook posts and astral projection workshops anyway: “Once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return.”

But here’s my thing: What if you haven’t tasted flight? What if flight, in general, isn’t all that appealing to you? What if you’re not a particularly spiritual person, and for you, meditation is watching Gilmore Girls for the 30th time, manifesting comes in the form of thinking about chicken tenders when you wake up and making sure you have said chicken tenders by no later than 8 p.m., and mysticism is wondering why people go on reality TV when they know they are in the process of committing federally prosecutable crimes ? Instead of fake Leonardo da Vinci’s nonsense, it was Jade’s own pitch for astral projection that became the most compelling argument for the, ahem, hypothetical person described above. Chirped with the animated fervor of someone who truly believes in what she does, Jade hit us with the sell: “The no. 1 reason to astral travel is because, OH MY GOD, IT’S MIND-BLOWING, IT’S BEYOND THIS WORLD! How is this possible ? You can FLY … in the SKY ! Seemingly in this reality! So just the sheer extraordinariness of it is—you want to explore, you want to do it.”

And she’s right. I may have never looked to the sky and thought, how do I get all up in that , but I do remember a life in the not so distant past when I got to fly around to new places and have experiences I’d never had before. That time was 2019; it’s been over a year since exploring got whittled down to taking little walks around my little neighborhood, and travel became traversing the half-mile to the grocery store once a week; over a year since my world became a whole lot smaller. Which brings me to my own astral projection journey, and my second, far more elusive astral travel teacher ...

INT. My Office—The Morning After Bingeing Behind Her Eyes , Days 1-2

The first attempt to contact the water magister.

I live in Asheville, North Carolina, a city where you can’t throw a rose quartz very far without hitting some sort of spiritual practice. So, when I Google “astral projection teacher,” I’m pleased but not particularly surprised to find that one of the only promising results is an instructor in my own city : David Rodriguez, a.k.a. the Water Magister, thus named because of his connection to the fundamental element and his passion for studying and teaching various spiritual practices.

I listen to the Water Magister on a podcast , I check out his Airbnb Experience reviews (on hiatus during COVID, but all five stars), and I fire off a message to his website …

And when that goes unanswered, I fire off an email to his Gmail address …

And when that goes unanswered, I request to follow him on Instagram …

And when that goes unaccepted, I send a slightly more desperate email, and start piecing together my own lucid dreaming and astral projection study plan while I wait …

INT. My Living Room—Late Morning, Day 3

Watching inception on hbo max.

I start where any good journalist should when researching an ancient spiritual phenomenon: by sitting down with its most lucrative pop culture interpretation to date. For lucid dreaming, there’s only one film to turn to: Christopher Nolan’s almost-three-hour allegory for the filmmaking process wherein he cast Leonardo DiCaprio to cosplay himself in the shiniest of ties.

The plot of Inception is simple. Just kidding, the plot of Inception is nearly incomprehensible—either a work of unique artistic vision, or a hubris-fueled act of dorm-room philosophy, depending on whom you ask. If you ask me, it’s just a silly bit of fun, but don’t tell Christopher Nolan I said that.

No matter where you land on the quality of Inception ’s plot, quantitatively , this is a movie about a bunch of bros lucid dreaming together. Though it’s been a few years, I remember the Mal and the folding cities and the totems of it all. But I had forgotten that Leo and Co. facilitate their lucid dreams via a sort of futuristic Bop-It! that helpfully pumps into them a brain-stimulating sedative so powerful that not even soaring off a bridge or the constant bong-bongs that register somewhere between brown note and Law & Order: SVU can rouse them from their slumber.

For my lucid dreaming practice, I have a sound machine that all the most brand-conscious babies use— the Dohm Classic in pink , set to level II, always—and the fool-proof method of a fictional teenager from a Netflix thriller.

INT. My Living Room—162 Minutes Later, Day 3

Watching doctor strange on disney+.

Through my first half-day of studying astral projection, my biggest takeaway is that learning about this phenomenon requires a surprising number of streaming platforms. After Inception I turn to Doctor Strange : Marvel’s most mystical and medical superhero film to date, wherein an egotistical surgeon stumbles upon the astral plane—and also an interdimensional threat to earthly existence—while seeking to heal his injured hands. While watching, I scribble down only one note that is not a reminder to research Mads Mikkelsen’s eyeshadow palette, and it is this: “Men will literally project their consciousness into the astral realm instead of going to therapy.”

Which makes me think that Doctor Strange might be the most accurate Hollywood depiction of astral phenomena. Stephen Strange is a seeker, after all—he wants more knowledge, more escape from reality—and when he stumbles into astral projection, it’s because he desperately wants to find some kind of loophole to healing his damaged hands. What he finds instead is an entirely new understanding of the world around him. From my limited experience with the astral travel community, that’s a pretty common narrative, minus the magic cape stuff.

Doctor Strange did have a magic cape to aid his mastery of astral projection, though, not to mention Tilda Swinton showing him the ropes, and a “sling ring” to propel him through the multiverse. I have … the power of my own mind, which is currently in a bit of a tailspin because the Water Magister still hasn’t emailed me back, and I’m really about to have to do this by myself.

INT. My Bedroom—Nighttime, Day 4

Astral travel attempt no. 1.

It’s time to turn to yet another streaming platform: Spotify, where I find a plethora of guided astral travel mediations, the least annoying of which has been uploaded by an artist called “Exploration of Humanity” and has almost 105,000 listens (for clarity: at least 12 are from me).

I’m entering my astral projection practice with an open mind, and only one fear: getting body-snatched. As you’ll recall from 20 paragraphs ago, I came to this practice by way of Behind Her Eyes , where astral projection is used exclusively for stealing other people’s bodies. Of course, only two people know I’m trying to astral travel, and could therefore be in the position to steal my body: the Water Magister if he’s read his email in the past four days and my editor at The Ringer who green-lit this piece. Only one of those knows how to astral travel, unless my editor is lying and all of this is an elaborate body-snatching ploy.

It’s better astrally safe than astrally sorry, though, so my best friend and I establish a code word that I will say to her at some point each day to confirm I have not been astrally possessed. (Much like Leo protects the sanctity of his totem in Inception , I shan’t be telling you my code word here, but rest assured—it’s very silly.) Of course, upon reflection , I realize that Behind Her Eyes posits a world in which best friends are actually the most likely culprit to snatch your body while astral projecting, so this plan was terrible all along.

Luckily, the Spotify meditation makes up for what I lack! A man with a soft, steady voice guides me through the steps that I’ll come to learn are common in achieving astral projection via a meditative state, as opposed to the lucid dreaming method:

• “Mind awake, body asleep”: This is achieved by keeping your body completely still in a comfortable position, breathing deeply, and keeping all of your mental awareness focused on the space between your eyes.
• “Vibrational stage”: The vibrational stage can be reached in a number of ways once you successfully master Step 1, including imagining waves of energy rolling up and down your body, or visualizing yourself rocking faster and faster inside your body, until …
• “Out of body” : That’s right, it’s only a three-step process to being able to magically fly around the world, untethered by your gross corporeal form! If you haven’t gotten out after the two steps, you’re not getting out .

But whether or not you hit out of body in the 20-ish minutes this guided meditation guesses you will, that’s still 20 minutes remaining of binaural beats, whispered subliminal messages, and vibes to endure. Personally , I fell asleep halfway through the pod. Maybe next time …

INT. My Bedroom—Early Afternoon, Day 5

Astral travel attempt no. 2.

This time, I take half a caffeine pill before my spiritual practice.

And it works . I mean, I don’t exactly astral project. Nothing really even gets to vibrating. But I do get into what I would describe as “mind awake, body asleep,” because once I finally manage to slow my mind down, and my limbs sort of start to feel like they’re floating, the spot between my eyes starts to produce visions: a bed of jewels transforms into a beach, transforms into a kitchen from my childhood, transforms into …

A door . I would never lie to you, it is a whole-ass door in my mind. And even though I’m not doing the lucid dreaming method of astral projection and doors really shouldn’t even be part of this, I know I’m supposed to start moving toward that door; I know there’s something on the other side of it that I want. The door is embedded in the side of a mountain, and there’s an Indiana Jones–style rope bridge I have to cross to get to it, but I’m not scared to cross it because I have tunnel vision for this door. I’m on the move, I’m getting closer and closer, and clo—

My phone rings. My phone rings louder than a Hans Zimmer score in these headphones I’m using to listen to this guided meditation. It’s a telemarketer from San Marcos, Texas, and if I ever meet that telemarketer on this or any other astral plane, I swear to you, it is absolutely on sight .

I can’t help but feel that if I had a qualified astral projection teacher, their first lesson would have been, “Turn on Do Not Disturb, dumbass.” I learned that lesson for myself the hard way.

INT. My Office—Late Morning, Day 6

Enter: the water magister, taking my cold call.

I find a phone number for the Water Magister on a now-defunct Water Magister Facebook page, and he picks up on the first ring. He hasn’t seen any of my emails, and he seems wary of a random number from Waco, Texas. It takes him about one minute to tell me he can’t be my teacher. Not because he detects a noticeable lack of spiritual proclivity in me, as I feared he somehow would, but because he’s currently recovering from a heartbreak, and he can’t spiritually guide others when he’s not feeling spiritually whole himself.

This is not the first time someone else’s integrity has proved an obstacle to my personal goals, and it won’t be the last. But , the Water Magister does agree to meet with me to answer any questions I have, and discuss what his guided astral projection sessions look like so that I can improve my own practice at home.

EXT. An Absolutely Bustling Kava Bar Patio—Late Afternoon, Day 7

Meeting the magister.

The Water Magister has the quintessential appearance of a wizard, if you’ve ever imagined a wizard to be young and hoodie-clad with incredible posture. His beard is as long as his knowledge of astral projection is deep, although he would want me to tell you he’s not an expert. Calling a person who’s been successfully practicing astral projection for 15 years an expert is kind of like calling a 25-year-old middle-aged, I guess: a little too soon.

After all, the Water Magister tells me about mystery schools where astral masters share ancient wisdom in the astral realm. He tells me about healing trauma and overcoming obstacles, and a time in his youth when he built an entire world in the astral realm with fellow travelers he met on the internet, only to have that world destroyed by lurking astral-projection-internet trolls.

I tell him that I’m just trying to make it past my bedside table.

The Water Magister was first introduced to astral projection by a man named Willy, studied the practice further under the works of famous explorer of human consciousness , Robert Monroe, and began teaching it after a voice told him he should. That same voice told him to start making his special blend of astral projection tea, which I will eventually buy from him in cash.

Mostly, the Water Magister lets me ask him my rudimentary astral projection questions for 90 minutes, offering me generous, straightforward answers in return. He thinks the Behind Her Eyes astral projection sounds pretty accurate, except for body snatching, which is “improbable,” and Adele’s claim that she can only travel places she’s familiar with, which is … kind of the opposite of the point of traveling the astral plane . The conversation makes me highly aware of how small I’ve kept my world on this one plane of reality that I’ve never tried to leave. Here is a list of things the Water Magister casually asks me whether I’ve experienced, studied, or understood while we’re chatting, to which I have to tell him no:

• Non-player characters in video games
• Psychedelics
• The idea that everyone creates their own reality
• Kava (I actually have tried kava, but I didn’t want to disrespect the 15 nearby kava bar patrons happily drinking kava by explaining that I hate kava .)
• Masaru Emoto

Here’s a list of things that the Water Magister asks me whether I understand that I’m able to confirm, yes , I understand:

But even though I’d spent an hour registering how much foundation I lack to study astral travel, there was one moment waiting at the end of our conversation that would humble me like no other. I ask the Water Magister about something from Behind Her Eyes that I’ve been hung up on since I first watched it: There’s no way the transition from lucid dreaming to astral projection could really be as simple as just walking through a door you conjured up in your dream, right? In return, the Water Magister delicately asks me whether I hadn’t just moments ago told him that I had to use a guided meditation on Spotify because I can’t even relax without a third party telling me to do so? Therefore, couldn’t I imagine how much willpower it might take to intentionally create a door inside a lucid dream without the soft voice of a British man in my headphones telling me to do it? Couldn’t I understand that just because something is easy to conceptualize, doesn’t mean it’s easy to do?

I wondered whether the Water Magister felt in that moment like I hadn’t been listening to him at all; like I’d been trivializing all of the practices he’d been telling me about. Because setting intentions isn’t easy, creating a sense of safety for yourself isn’t easy; manifesting a door in your dreams isn’t easy. And perhaps I only see these things as simple because I’ve never successfully done them before ...

But there is one lingering thing I feel like astral projection practitioners are perhaps simplifying a little themselves. Half the reason I started this journey is because Behind Her Eyes offers this very limited view of astral projection as exclusively being used for bad, when I’ve mostly only heard of people seeking it out for healing and self-improvement. I ask the Water Magister about the often-negative depiction of astral travel in pop culture, and whether he personally feels like there’s a major capacity to use astral projection for “bad.” To which he says, of course: “You can use anything for good or bad, and just think of the implications—you can be a fly on the wall, listening to your archnemeses, or seeing what your enemies are planning.”

When I go back over my conversation with the Water Magister at home, I realize it’s those very implications that are still tinkering around in my subconscious. Isn’t the complete lack of evidence that astral projection has ever been used for evil the greatest argument against its credibility? Pop culture only depicts astral travel as being deployed for sneaky, sometimes murderous means because pop culture knows that anything that can be used for bad, will be used for bad. If someone could spy on their enemies from the astral realm, wouldn’t they? And after, say, a millennia or so, wouldn’t we hear some stories about it, in the same way that we hear stories about positive out-of-body experiences ? Are only the most moral people in the world capable of masterful astral projection, or is astral projection not quite as viable as its masters claim?

As you can see, I have some questions—questions that I’d really rather not have. Not only because I genuinely believe the Water Magister and Jade Shaw and the many lovely people in the classes I’ve attended when they say they’ve astral projected—and especially when they say how much it’s positively impacted their lives—but also because questioning whether astral projection is real seems like a surefire way to never be able to do it successfully. Now if I’m never able to astral project, I’ll always have to wonder if it’s because it’s impossible, or if it’s because I couldn’t shake the feeling that it was impossible.

INT. My Home–Mostly Night, Days 8-15

Astral travel attempts nos. 3-10.

Even in astral projection, practice makes progress. The Water Magister told me that once I’ve entered into the “mind awake, body asleep” state, it’s important to visualize your consciousness leaving your body, and that each person will have a different key to doing this: a person who likes comic books might imagine throwing webs of their consciousness out like Spider-Man, or someone with a deceased relative might imagine that loved one pulling them into the astral realm. For me, the visual that came most readily in my half-asleep state was to yank my consciousness out of my head in quick, successive pulls like I was a human box of Kleenex. I do not know why I equate myself to bath tissue, and I do not want to talk about it!

Sometime around my seventh attempt, I put on my big girl pants and stopped using the guided meditation, choosing the power of binaural beats and my own willpower, instead. Twice using this meditative method, I feel a kind of rising , like my consciousness is being pulled out through the crown of my head, but both times I then start to physically tense my body, ceasing said rising . Once, I briefly drift asleep, and when I wake up, my eyes unconsciously pop open, I see the dresser in my bedroom, and then I slam them back shut, and am suddenly traveling . It feels like my mind is tunneling through the earth toward a searing white light, until I spook myself out of it.

But afterward, I wondered … maybe my eyes hadn’t physically opened; maybe I’d traveled out of my body and into my bedroom, and it was my astral form that had seen my dresser? But I don’t know. Because when nothing turns technicolored like you thought it was supposed to, and you’re a little bit asleep all the time, it’s just hard to know. Either way, my eyes did eventually open, definitely for real this time.

INT. My Home—Morning, Noon, And Night, Days 15-17

Astral travel attempts nos. 11-16.

I’m weeks into this process, and days away from the deadline on documenting this process, and I admit that I might be trying to squeeze something in under the wire that is not, necessarily, squeezable. I am attempting to astral travel morning, noon, and night. I’m changing my headphones and altering the amount of light in the room, and eating bananas because I read about it on Reddit (famous last words).

Technically, if I look back to where I started, at a Cumberbatch/DiCaprio double-header with absolutely no meditation experience, I’ve made definitive progress. I regularly enter the “vibrational stage” now, where it feels like light is shooting up and down my body, and while that used to freak me out a bit and I’d start seizing up, now I’m used to it, and can relax into the feeling. But that feeling doesn’t then take me outside my body or into another realm—it doesn’t take me anywhere.

In my desperation, everything is starting to feel like it means something. In the car, “Levitating” by Dua Lipa is playing, and I think I surely must have manifested it. But the Milky Way is not liberating, and I do not, sugarboo , levitate myself into another reality via the powerful instruction of Miss Lipa.

But finally, on my 16th astral travel attempt, I get into the vibrational state that I’m now somewhat used to, I visualize myself leaving my body, and the next thing I know, I’m seeing a clear, vibrant image of something that I know is real: the giant gold birthday balloons we got for my dad for his 70th birthday, the ones that my parents have kept inflated in their living room for months. That scene exists in my memory, sure, but I briefly feel like I’m really there in my parents’ house, hundreds of miles away from where my body currently lies, witnessing it live.

When I slip out of the state, I text my mom to be sure that what I saw was real, just like I’ve heard so many other people do the first time they astral traveled to a familiar place. “Random question …” I ask her:

Never in my life has an emoji mocked me like this.

INT. My Office–5:56 P.M., DAY 17

Enter: a different kind of magister.

It’s not time to give up, but it is time to move on. I’ve been focusing so much of my energy on trying to astral travel via a meditative state that I haven’t given lucid dreaming the attention it deserves. I watch a master class (but not a MasterClass ) with Charlie Morley, a lucid dreaming teacher currently researching healing PTSD for veterans through dream states, who also happens to be the former husband, current best friend, and co-parent of a wiener dog named Waffles with Jade Shaw, the aforementioned astral projection consultant herself. Together, they are an aesthetically pleasing dynamic paranormal duo, and I look forward to watching their inevitable reality show on Netflix in a few years.

In his class, Charlie teaches that once you’ve gained access to your dreams, you can plant seeds in the unconscious mind to cultivate in the waking mind. Which, honestly, is just the kind of simplistic structure I’m looking for in my spiritual experience. Charlie describes the “4D” approach to lucid dreaming thusly:

• Dream recall: Set a strong intention to remember your dreams by reciting a phrase such as, “Tonight I remember my dreams, I have excellent dream recall,” while you fall asleep. Once you’re able to remember your dreams, you gain insight into your consciousness, and what your dreams are signaling to your waking mind.
• Dream diary: The best way to log this information is to … log it, by writing your dreams down as soon as you possibly can after waking up.
• Dream signs: Once you’re able to spot “lucidity triggers” in your dreams, you can start to reliably signal to yourself when you’re dreaming. For me, the most common signals that I’m dreaming include: celebrities; a threat to my ability to graduate high school or college even though I’ve already successfully graduated both; and this fun new one where I’m packing and packing but can never fully complete whatever I’m trying to pack up in the time that I need to do it. Yay!
• Dream planning: “The why is more important than the how ,” Charlie says. Once you’re remembering dreams, and writing them down, and spotting lucidity triggers, take the time to consider what you want to do in your first lucid dream (and be honest about how much that thing is “having wild and prolific sex”).

In my very recent experience, this is really all it takes. I’ve been practicing Adele’s little pinching, finger-counting techniques for weeks, but the second I start writing down my dreams, and understanding that Topanga from Boy Meets World being my English teacher is a surefire sign that I’m dreaming, well, my dreams start getting a lot more interesting, and a little more lucid.

INT. My Bedroom–Nighttime, Day 19

I’m cleaning and cleaning my kitchen but I just cannot get it cleaned up. I somehow manage to break the faucet, and begin trying to scoop up the gushing water with a measuring cup that I suddenly realize I don’t own. I briefly wonder why someone would break into my house and leave things behind instead of taking them—and then I have the ringing, clear realization that this isn’t my kitchen. And this isn’t my measuring cup. But this is my dream.

It’s dream-flying time, baby!

Or, that’s what I assumed would happen. I haven’t quite made it to the “dream planning” portion of my lucid dreaming training, so I don’t have much of an agenda. I just take off running away from the kitchen, and into darkness. Maybe I call out for some celebrities to come make out with me, but I can’t be sure—if Jake Gyllenhaal appeared, I don’t remember it. What I do remember is that none of it felt particularly freeing , as I’d come to expect. The sprinting through my consciousness, the pressure that I needed to build something new, to make this time count, when all I really felt like I could do was keep my head above water … that all felt a little too familiar. This was not the fun, maybe even healing lucid dreaming experience I’d been promised. This was bringing my waking burdens into my previously restful sleep life, give or take some eternal folding of jeans. To which, I say: WHAT GIVES, CONSCIOUSNESS?!

INT. My Bedroom–Twilight, Day 21

I’m on vacation in New Orleans with the Biebers—Justin and Hailey—who I have not had one waking thought about since they got married but who I apparently hold space for in my dreaming mind.

Over the past three weeks, I’ve repeatedly been told that my dreaming mind is capable of curing my lower back pain, or manifesting an idea for a best-selling novel, if I can just learn how to use it right. But all my mind wants to give me is the Biebers, and this New Orleans Airbnb with a rapidly approaching check-out time that I’m about to miss because—you guessed it—my unimaginative ass is packing a never-ending pile of clothes while Hailey stares on. And after weeks of incessant dream-packing, my lucidity trigger finally clicks.

I’m dreaming—and I know it. Once again, Jake Gyllenhaal doesn’t appear, I don’t come up with a great book idea, and I definitely don’t start flying. I don’t start doing anything. I just … stop packing. Because I suddenly know that I have nothing to worry about; that I’m in control of my own story, that no looming check-out time should make me feel like this. I don’t remember anything after that, but the sense of understanding that everything will be OK if I just take a beat has lingered in my waking life. It wasn’t astral travel. It may not have even been lucid dreaming. But it was a nice feeling—and after the past year, I won’t say no to a nice new feeling.

Screen Rant

Behind her eyes: astral projection rules, explained.

Behind Her Eyes' astral projection plot device features a set of rules that the show doesn't completely define and which can use some explanation.

Netflix's Behind Her Eyes limited series is a fantastic paranormal romance whose main plot device - astral projection - follows an indeterminate set of rules - here's how it works. This psychological thriller stars Simona Brown as Louise, Eve Hewson as Adele, and Robert Aramayo as Rob. Each of these characters uses astral projection to varying degrees and for various purposes, though in Rob's case, those purposes are of the nefarious kind. Through intense character portrayals as well as the employment of astral projection itself, Behind Her Eyes delivers a consistent, tense feeling of suspense throughout its 6 episodes, leading up to a surprise twist. However, despite the series' dependence on astral projection as a plot device and its eventual involvement in Behind Her Eyes ' twist ending , the rules of astral projection aren't as clear as they can be.

In Behind Her Eyes , astral projection is a secret, paranormal tool used by an exclusive set of characters to accomplish their specific goals. In real life, there are many versions of astral projection, though most involve the idea of some kind of a soul or spirit that exists within the human body and that contains that person's essence. Since Behind Her Eyes doesn't specifically tie itself to any one particular version of astral projection from real life, the version of astral projection that it does employ can be seen as a non-committal conglomerate of any combination of the various real-life versions. Despite the fact that the true origins of the astral projection  Behind Her Eyes ' characters use are never revealed, the show does actually provide at least a partial description of its unique version of astral projection.

In real life, astral projection (aka astral travel) is less of a phenomenon than it is an esoteric concept that involves so-called "intentional out-of-body experiences." For the most part, the rules of astral projection in Behind Her Eyes are very similar to the rules of astral projection in real life, especially regarding the mind/body duality of being. However, whereas astral projection is almost definitely a superstition in real life, it is definitely not a superstition in Behind Her Eyes. In real life, astral projection has very little basis in science and has often been compared to the more realistic phenomenon of "lucid dreaming." Lucid dreaming is a way of maintaining awareness while in a dream state that may give the impression of experiencing what is commonly understood to be astral projection. In Behind Her Eyes , astral projection is definitely distinct from lucid dreaming, as Louise has the ability to do both.

How Astral Projection Is Used In Behind Her Eyes

In Behind Her Eyes , astral projection is used as a plot device more than anything. The power of astral projection drives the characters to do what they do in the story. In some ways, it's even a character itself, being slowly developed over the arc of episodes. Astral projection in Behind Her Eyes is used exclusively by three characters: Adele, Rob, and Louise. Each one of them uses astral projection in their own way, revealing the rules as they go along: Adele uses astral projection as a form of escapism from her tragic life, similar to how she uses drugs. She teaches it to Rob, who ultimately learns how to use it against her.

Rob uses astral projection to literally escape his tragic life as a hopeless and impoverished drug addict. He uses it to commit crimes, including murder, in order to steal Adele's body and thus her life and her lover, both of which he has always secretly coveted. Rob, masquerading as Adele, teaches Louise how to perform astral projection in his plot to keep her away from Adele's husband, David. Rob later uses astral projection to steal Louise's body, just as he did with Adele; Louise, who already has a talent with lucid dreaming, first tries to use astral projection as a way to relieve her nightmares. She later uses it to help Adele, who she doesn't realize is actually Rob.

Behind Her Eyes: Astral Projection Rules

In Behind Her Eyes , through each character's specific use of astral projection, the rules of the phenomenon are slowly revealed in each episode. The six major rules are: one, the mind and body are distinct forms, which can operate independently; two, there is more than one plane of existence, including the purgatory-like astral plane where the astral form can travel; three, the astral form can only travel to places it has seen in corporeal form; four, the astral form can move from one body to another when the target body is empty; five, the astral form can spy on the actions of corporeal people; six, astral projection can be learned and practiced by chanting and performing a pattern with the fingers.

The limitations of astral projection in Behind Her Eyes have yet to be clearly defined, but it is clearly a powerful tool, one that many in the show would likely kill to possess. A second season would potentially clear up these lingering vagaries as well as questions like " Is Louise really dead ?" Although it seems that Rob did kill both Louise and Adele, it's entirely possible that they were able to astral travel even in their drug-addled states. There is no precedent in Behind Her Eyes that proves they could have done so, but there is also no evidence that completely rules it out. That said, while Adele's body is no doubt a goner, Louise may be able to reclaim her own body if she was able to escape Adele's body before it died.

The Astral Projection In Behind Her Eyes vs. Real Life

As previously mentioned, astral projection in real life is more of an idea than it is a verifiable phenomenon. And although some form of astral projection is found in various cultures throughout history, it is most likely the result of profound meditative states or lucid dreaming. Despite the importance of astral projection in Behind Her Eyes , it is never fleshed out and direct comparisons to real-life cases of astral projection are weak at best, perhaps the clearest evidence that the phenomenon is merely a plot device in the show, and not meant to convey any meaning about its realities.

10 Of The Best Movies About Astral Projection In 2024

With astral projection being such an intriguing concept, it’s no wonder that Hollywood has chosen to showcase out-of-body experiences (OBEs) on the silver screen.

Over the years, there have been dozens of films about astral projection, some of them accurate and others that have taken a bit of artistic license. Either way, we think it’s great that astral projecting is becoming a more commonly known, impressive skill.

Table of Contents

List of the best movies about astral projection in 2021

1. doctor strange.

Since superhero movies became one of the most popular movie genres, there’s been time travel in X-Men: Days of Future Past and space travel in Guardians of the Galaxy . More recently, Doctor Strange has covered interdimensional travel. The story follows Doctor Stephen Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch), a surgeon whose life is drastically altered after he has a car accident.

He’s keen to restore his abilities to what they once were, but instead finds himself learning intriguing new skills. Along the path to becoming a gifted sorcerer, Dr Strange learns to utilise the universe’s ambient energy and his own psychic resources to master time travel, energy projection and, of course, astral projection. In the film, we see Strange astral project numerous times.

On one occasion, his astral projection mimics the traditional way of learning to astral project, where your body is left asleep, while other times his mental and astral body are forced apart.

2. Insidious

Insidious is about a family who move into a new home, and find a whole lot of unwanted house guests. These house guests are in fact spirits that are part of the astral dimension and are looking to live on the physical plane. They decide that their best way of doing this is to inhabit the body of son Dalton Lambert (Ty Simpkins), who was born with the ability to travel to the astral plane .

Dalton originally found himself enjoying his trips to the astral realm, but ventured to far and eventually enters a realm called ‘The Further’. It’s here that these dark spirits reside and are able to possess Tyler’s body, wreaking havoc upon the physical plane and tormenting Tyler’s family and those who have come to help. There are now three instalments in the Insidious series , all of which explore the connection between astral travel and black magic.

3. Dreams Come True

Released in 1984, Dreams Come True is touted as an ‘unusual comedy fantasy’. The film is about two individuals who learn how to astral project when they go to bed at night. The couple travel through their dreams, using their gifts to do everything they want to do in everyday life but for some reason or another are unable to do so.

This involves travelling to foreign countries, solving financial worries and being very romantic. Main characters Lee (Michael Sanville) and Robin (Stephanie Shuford) find themselves meeting up more and more, loving that their astral projection means they can be together.

However, there are dangers involved, with nightmares a real possibility, and the risk of dying should someone force them to wake up. Overall, this film is a real 80’s flick, with everything from the puffy hair to the cheesy music, but it’s also got a whole lot of OBEs!

4. Psychic Killer

Like many of the films about astral projection, this one is another horror film . Released in 1975, Psychic Killer is one of the first films to show astral projection. The movie follows police lieutenant Jeff Morgan (Paul Burke) as he hunts down a former mental patient named Arnold James Masters (Jim Hutton).

Masters has a list of people who have wronged him, and wants to get vengeance. After learning how to astral project, he realises he has the perfect talent for committing homicides without leaving a trace of his presence at the scene. While this classic horror movie isn’t easy to find online, it’s a great film to watch and see how astral projection has evolved when it comes to its presence in movies.

Awake explores astral projection as a result of anaesthesia awareness, where the two individuals use it to gain closure. Hayden Cristensen plays young billionaire Clay Beresford, who finds himself in need of heart surgery. During this, Clay experiences anaesthesia awareness, where he is essentially forced into sleep paralysis by the drugs.

Unable to alert his doctors to his condition, Clay instead turns his attention to those around him and his astral mind ‘wanders’ out of his physical body. While he is on the operating table, much of the plot progresses and we discover more about Clay’s new wife, Sam (Jessica Alba), and how he ended up needing surgery. Without giving too much away, the film leads to Clay meeting his heart donor in an astral realm, where they are able to speak to one another before his donor dies.

6. If I Stay

If you’re a fan of romance films, but don’t fancy giving 80’s flick D reams Come True a try, then If I Stay might be the perfect film for you. It’s about a talented cellist named Mia Hall (Chloe Grace Moretz) whose astral mind and body separate as a result of a car accident.

While her body is in surgery, Mia is able to watch what is happening to her family, some of whom were also involved in the crash. We learn that Mia has much to live for but has also suffered tragically. Although Mia began astral projecting through a forced decision, it is ultimately her decision whether she realigns herself with her physical body or lets go and moves on to heaven. Which will she choose ?

7. Out of the Body

Something that is able to perform acts impossible to humans is murdering women in Sydney, Australia. Weirdly, it’s also removing their eyes. After falling asleep each night , David (Mark Hembrow) finds himself astral projecting.

His astral projecting leads to David becoming a witness of these horrible crimes, only he’s returning to his body before he’s able to see who or what is killing the women. With a knowledge of the crimes that would only be known to someone present or involved, David soon becomes the prime suspect. But really, he’s the only one that can help the police track down the murderer, using his skill of having OBEs.

8. Inception

Alright, alright, Inception is technically about lucid dreaming, not astral projection. However, it’s still on this list because lucid dreaming and astral projection are so closely linked, so this is a great gateway filming if you’re looking to learn more about these concepts.

The film follows an A-list cast – led by Leonardo DiCaprio – who enter people’s dreams to steal information. Dom (DiCaprio) is offered the chance to have his criminal history as a professional history erased if he’ll complete the ultimate con: implanting an idea into someone’s subconscious, so they believe it was their idea. The films takes us on a wild ride of dream within dream, which is done through the use of futuristic technology that allows humans to force the brain to lucid dream.

9. High Plains Drifter

If you’re in the know about terminology surrounding astral projection, then you’ll know that a high plains drifter is a loner-type warrior from the astral realm. Knowing this explains much of the plot of this

American western film. Clint Eastwood stars as the main character, a drifter whose gun-slinging skills are in high demand in a town called Lago, which is having a bit of difficulty with its mines. It’s a dark film and Eastwood’s character seems cold to the core, but this highly acclaimed film also has its moment of humour – it’s well worth a watch.

10. Altered States

Adapted from a book of the same name, Altered States follows Edward Jessup (William Hurt) who is a psychologist. After visiting a tribe in Mexico who can share their dreams, Jessup begins experimenting with drugs and sensory deprivation to explore his other states of consciousness. His experiments become more and more severe, until Jessup isn’t just astral projecting , his physical form is able to change, too.

DREAM MACHINES: The 8 Best Sleep Gadgets (2023)

Merlin vrachovska.

My name is Merilin, and I am a 24-year old lucid dream enthusiast. I first learned about lucid dreaming back in 2013, and I quickly became utterly fascinated by the idea of it. Ever since then, I’ve been actively practicing and studying everything in the realm of lucid dreaming. Lucid dreaming started as a hobby for me, but I quickly became passionate about it. Lucid Dream Society is an educational platform dedicated to helping lucid dream beginners and enthusiasts to learn & improve their lucid dreaming skills. The main goal is to learn more about the intriguing skill of lucid dreaming and its benefits! Explore a variety of educational content on lucid dreaming, astral projection, the meaning of dreams, etc. For more information, please check the "About" section.

Around 1973, I saw an old black and white movie from the 30’s or 40’s on TV with astral projection as the theme. I’ve since tried to rediscover this movie but to no avail. I’ve also tried to find someone who is involved with movies and/or Hollywood to try to help me. The gist of the movie is where there is a wonderful young couple newly married. I don’t remember specifics, but somehow, the husband inadvertently becomes involved in a crime. He is sentenced to prison for a very long time. There’s nothing either the wife or the husband can do to change his fate. So the couple decides to use astral projection to be together. If you can discover this movie’s title and year, I’d appreciate it. ????

Jim Shane.. I saw a similar b&w movie years ago. Except the AP was jailed for a murder he didn’t commit and he learned to AP in prison and used it to get revenge on those who framed him. Eventually a detective caught on to the AP and what he was doing. Eventually the detective convinced others of what was going on and set a trap for the AP to be projecting. While the AP was out of body and away from it, the detective had the body declared dead and cremated immediately before the AP returned. Once the AP realized his body no longer existed, he became violent and attacked the detective who was prepared to ritualize the spirit. Into the spiritual world forever. Pretty rough stuff for a 1950s movie.

I saw a film called Psychic Killer (1975) sounds exactly like what you describe even the cremation at the end.. he comes back into his body as the door to the cremation chamber closes.. could be a remake of the 50’s b/w movie you saw.

Voyage astral : Qu’est-ce que cette expérience extra-corporelle ?

Rejoignez-nous pour découvrir la projection astrale, également connue sous le nom de voyage astral et, pour les plus courageux d’entre nous, comment vous pouvez commencer à pratiquer des expériences extra-corporelles.

Qu’est-ce que le voyage astral ?

Simplement dit, le voyage astral est un terme qui décrit l’âme ou le “corps astral” quittant intentionnellement le corps physique pendant le sommeil ou la méditation et se rendant où bon lui semble. On parle aussi parfois d’expérience extra-corporelle (EOC), un état dans lequel la conscience peut fonctionner indépendamment du corps physique et traverser le plan astral.

Il existe différentes techniques et croyances autour de la projection astrale ; elle a été un sujet d’intérêt dans de nombreuses traditions spirituelles et ésotériques tout au long de l’histoire. Certains croient que la projection astrale ou les OBE sont une occasion de croissance personnelle, de compréhension spirituelle et d’élargissement de la conscience. D’autre part, les scientifiques considèrent les OBEs comme des expériences provenant d’états mentaux similaires aux rêves ou aux états de conscience altérés. Les psychologues et les neuroscientifiques suggèrent que les EOC sont liées à des schémas d’activité pathologiques.

Bien que tout cela puisse sembler surnaturel et ne concerner que les films, il existe de nombreux cas documentés qui remontent à plusieurs siècles. Explorons-le plus en détail…

Projection astrale vs. EOC

Bien que les deux termes soient utilisés de manière interchangeable, il existe des différences distinctes entre les deux:

Une projection astrale implique généralement un effort intentionnel pour envoyer votre conscience hors de votre corps. Il s’agit généralement d’un voyage de votre conscience hors de votre corps vers un plan ou une dimension spirituelle. Une OBE, en revanche, n’est généralement pas planifiée. Les EOC – ou du moins les sensations qu’elles procurent – sont largement reconnues par la communauté médicale et ont fait l’objet de nombreuses études. La projection astrale, en revanche, est considérée comme une pratique spirituelle.

La projection astrale est-elle sans danger ?

La notion de projection astrale est ancienne. De nombreuses personnes, des New Agers aux chamans du monde entier, la pratiquent comme une forme de soin de soi et de guérison spirituelle. Un article paru sur Elite Daily présente une interview du Dr Deganit Nuur, de Nuurvana Clairvoyant Healing. Il s’agit d’une enseignante spirituelle, d’une voyante et d’une doctoresse en acupuncture de renommée mondiale. Nuur affirme que la projection astrale doit être pratiquée avec soin et de manière intentionnelle. En effet, lorsqu’un événement traumatisant survient, l’être humain peut finir par se projeter dans l’astral et perdre le sens du contrôle. Nuur explique :

Nous pouvons le faire inconsciemment, lorsque nous ne nous sentons pas en sécurité… l’esprit quitte le corps et se projette ailleurs… Lorsqu’il n’est pas pratiqué de manière responsable, on peut perdre le sentiment d’autorité et d’ancienneté sur son propre corps, ce qui peut s’avérer très déstabilisant.

Le voyage astral et la science

Bien que la projection astrale soit une expérience philosophique, il n’existe actuellement aucun moyen de la réaliser scientifiquement, il n’existe actuellement aucun moyen de mesurer scientifiquement si l’esprit d’une personne peut quitter et entrer dans son corps pendant le sommeil ou la méditation . L’explication la plus simple des expériences extra-corporelles est que la personne fantasme ou rêve. Live Science résume également la situation comme suit :

“Bien que les adeptes de la projection astrale insistent sur le fait que leurs expériences sont réelles, leurs preuves sont toutes anecdotiques – tout comme une personne qui prend du peyotl ou du LSD peut être réellement convaincue d’avoir interagi avec Dieu, des personnes décédées ou des anges alors qu’elle se trouvait dans un état altéré. La projection astrale est un passe-temps divertissant et inoffensif qui peut sembler profond et, dans certains cas, changer la vie. Mais rien ne prouve que les expériences extra-corporelles se produisent à l’extérieur du corps plutôt qu’à l’intérieur du cerveau.

Comment se projeter dans l’astral ?

Le Dr Deganit Nuur explique également comment pratiquer la projection astrale de manière intentionnelle et en toute sécurité. Elle décrit le cordon astral comme un tube rempli de lumière qui s’étend du troisième chakra ( plexus solaire , situé dans la partie supérieure de l’abdomen) du corps physique au troisième chakra du “corps de lumière”, ou âme – de la même manière qu’une mère et son bébé sont reliés par le cordon ombilical.

• Une fois détendu, vous devez imaginer le cordon astral qui s’étend du troisième chakra jusqu’au plan astral (alias le royaume/monde astral où réside toute la conscience).
• Une fois que vous aurez atteint cet autre monde, vous éprouverez probablement une sensation d’apesanteur et de soulagement – c’est pourquoi cette technique est utilisée pour aider à relâcher les tensions et à guérir les traumatismes non résolus.

Toutefois, avant de plonger dans la projection astrale sans expérience préalable, nous vous recommandons de faire des recherches approfondies et de trouver un expert dans ce domaine pour vous guider dans la bonne direction afin de la pratiquer en toute sécurité et de manière intentionnelle.

Par exemple, Gaia est une ressource en ligne sur abonnement qui promet des “vidéos d’élargissement de la conscience” ainsi que des “films informatifs et éclairants que vous ne trouverez nulle part ailleurs” Le site web de Gaia prétend héberger la plus grande bibliothèque au monde de médias conscients exclusifs et originaux conçus pour guider les gens sur des chemins personnels de transformation.

Est-il possible de sortir de son corps ?

L’idée de “sortir de son corps” fait généralement référence à la projection astrale ou les expériences extracorporelles (EOC), au cours desquelles une personne a l’impression que sa conscience ou son esprit est séparé de son corps physique. Ces expériences sont souvent rapportées de manière anecdotique, mais il ne s’agit pas de phénomènes scientifiquement prouvés.

Scientifiquement, notre compréhension actuelle de la conscience et de la relation corps-esprit est encore limitée, et il n’existe aucune preuve concluante de l’existence d’une conscience quittant le corps de la manière décrite dans de nombreux récits d’EOC. De nombreux chercheurs pensent que ces expériences peuvent être attribuées à divers facteurs tels que la paralysie du sommeil , le rêve lucide , les états de conscience altérés et le fonctionnement complexe du cerveau.

Il est important de noter que même si certaines personnes rapportent des OBE vivantes et convaincantes, celles-ci restent un sujet de débat et de scepticisme au sein de la communauté scientifique.

Le voyage astral sur Netflix

Une série populaire de Netflix, Behind Her Eyes , a récemment fait connaître la projection astrale au grand public. Elle suit une mère célibataire travaillant dans le cabinet d’un psychiatre. Après avoir entamé une liaison avec son directeur, elle se lie d’une amitié improbable avec la femme de ce dernier, qui souffre de terreurs nocturnes. Cette dernière lui apprend à se projeter dans l’astral, c’est-à-dire à envoyer sa conscience ailleurs. Sans gâcher la fin, le couple commence à essayer de se contrôler l’un l’autre en entrant dans le corps de l’autre pendant le sommeil – un truc qui fait froid dans le dos.

Yes, Astral Projection Is Real, But Behind Her Eyes Doesn't Paint the Full Picture

The idea of a deliberate out-of-body experience is met with some scientific skepticism.

Our editors handpick the products that we feature. We may earn commission from the links on this page.

There are hundreds of podcasts , books , and guides that purport to teach people how to leave their bodies on command. It is often linked to lucid dreaming , or the ability to control your dreams.

When you have an out-of-body experience, your brain's body schema–its perception of your physical form–is altered. Nothing is "leaving" your body, but your brain is not perceiving your body in the way that you are used to, which can sometimes give the impression that your consciousness is detached for a period of time. In astral projection, this is often thought of (and depicted) as the soul leaving the body and traveling to some sort of new plane of consciousness, but the scientific explanation does not support the existence of a soul that is separate from the physical body.

"The out of-body-experience is not a scientific validation for whether or not the soul exists. It’s just a different way that the brain functions," Dr. Claude Messier , a professor from the University of Ottowa's Brain and Mind Research Institute explains to OprahMag.com. "It’s consistent with many bizarre or out of the ordinary ways the brain can function."

To better understand the science behind astral projection, we spoke to Dr. Messier and Dr. Susan Blackmore , a psychologist who published Seeing M yself: The New Science of Out-of-Body Experiences in 2019.

The phenomenon is real, but the term "out-of-body experience" is often used instead of "astral projection."

Dr. Messier and Dr. Blackmore, who had an out-of-body experience of her own in 1970 , have spent decades studying these occurrences, and bristle at the oftentimes mystical explanations of astral projection.

"The bottom line is that I think we now have the outlines of a complete neuroscientific explanation of what out-of-body experiences are," Dr. Blackmore says. "That doesn’t mean we know every detail, but we have the outline. It is quite unnecessary, and indeed totally unhelpful, to talk in terms of astral projection, because that is an ancient theory that simply doesn’t fit the facts now."

In a 2017 article for BBC Focus , Dr. Blackmore explains that when "the body schema is disrupted by electrical stimulation," the brain can essentially lose track of the body, thus creating a feeling of disconnect between the mind and physical form. This creates the sensation of separation, and the perception of your body "outside" of yourself.

There is no scientific consensus on how to induce an out-of-body experience, as the vast majority of people who experience them do so involuntarily, and accounts of them are based on anecdotal evidence.

The many books that cover astral projection have varying information on how you can reportedly spark the experience. Mastering Astral Projection by Robert Bruce and Brian Mercer claims that remembering your dreams, breathing a particular way, being in a state of "deep physical relaxation," and "energy body stimulation" are all things you can do to make an out-of-body experience more likely.

In some cases, including Dr. Messier's and fellow University of Ottawa professor Dr. Andra Smith's collaborative study, "Voluntary out-of-body experiences," the phrase "extra-corporeal experience" (ECE) is also used.

They observed brain activity in a myriad of locations, including the temporal parietal junction, which was previously thought to be connected with out-of-body experiences due to its involvement with bodily perception, as well as the cerebellum, which "showed activation that is consistent with the participant’s report of the impression of movement during the ECE."

In Behind Her Eyes, Adele uses "astral projection" to leave her body, travel, and essentially spy on people. The ability to travel to any kind of astral plane isn't supported by science. Blackmore explains that tests were done in the 1900s to see if people who had out-of-body experiences had any kind of psychic abilities, but nothing was proven.

In fictional depictions, out-of-body experiences often hinge on the soul separating from the body, implying a distinction between the two that researchers do not support.

Scientists in this corner are focused not on the perceived separateness of the mind and body, but on the way they function as one, which is why the disconnect is so jarring. Messier compares the phenomenon to things like aphantasia (when a person can't form a visual image in their mind) or synesthesia (when the triggering of one sense automatically leads to the activation of another).

Messier says that some people who've had out-of-body experiences themselves opt for the mystical explanation over the scientific one because of how strange and unfamiliar it feels.

"It’s very hard to disbelieve that you are not outside of your body, but it’s your brain playing tricks," he acknowledges.

The idea of "floating above yourself" is actually rooted in the truth.

According to both Messier and Blackmore, the quintessential depiction of an out-of-body experience involving a person feeling like they're floating above themselves is common.

Blackmore says that one of the reasons is because that view is relatively easy for the mind to assemble. She conducted research on a group of students, asking them to close their eyes and picture the room they were in from different angles, with most of them agreeing that it was simplest to do so either looking down or from the doorway, not from other vantage points like the floor.

"It really is a question of cognitive simplicity; it’s the easiest view to construct," she says.

Blackmore also says that when she had her out-of-body experience, she saw the room she was in from a bird's eye perspective.

The idea of astral projection has roots in religious texts.

The concept of the "astral body" is explored in various religious texts , including the Qur'an and Hindi scriptures. Ancient Egypt had a concept of the soul separate from the physical body, which was divided into eight different components, including the "Ba," which was closest to the Western conception of the soul.

Dr. Blackmore notes that while the concept of leaving the body for a kind of spiritual awakening does have longstanding roots, the explicit notion of astral projection is more connected to Theosophy , a belief system popularized by Helena Blavatsky that focused on spiritual experiences with little in the way of hard evidence.

"The term ‘astral projection’ only goes back to Theosophy and Madame Blavatsky in the 1890s and so on," Dr. Blackmore says. "There’s no evidence of any kind to support Theosophy with its seven different bodies and its higher astral planes, and therefore to support the term astral projection.”

Out-of-body experiences can be a response to physical or emotional trauma.

Both Messier and Blackmore state that out-of-body experiences are frequently triggered by stress, physical changes in the body, or traumatic events like abuse. Our brain holds an image and understanding of our physical being—often referred to as a body schema —and when that is fractured, the perception of the mind in relation to the body can be altered.

"My interpretation now is that out-of-body experiences are caused when the body schema, this mental model of our own body in space, is disrupted. It’s disrupted so much that it separates from the sensory input and we rely on imagination rather than sensory input," Blackmore says. "You can’t get rid of your body schema. It’s built-in...when that gets completely blown apart, it splits, and in your imagination it floats off.”

Messier likens out-of-body experiences to the sensation of a phantom limb in amputees, which is when a person still feels the sensations of the appendage they no longer have. In those cases, the brain's body schema has still not adjusted to the new reality of being without the limb.

"Your body image that your brain is creating has trouble anchoring itself to your body, so it’s moving around in the wrong places," he says.

Because so few people can leave their bodies on command, these experiences are challenging to study.

Most people who have out-of-body experiences do so very infrequently, making them nearly impossible to replicate for research purposes.

Messier and Smith's 2014 study focused on a student who said that she had been having out-of-body experiences her whole life, and that she could trigger them deliberately, which is conceptually similar to astral projection.

"The person we studied could have these experiences because she practiced those when she was a kid as a play thing, not realizing it was anything special," Dr. Messier says. "She just did that to pass time while she was trying to go to sleep, and she’s had problems going to sleep, which is common among people who have out-of-body experiences."

Messier and Smith did extensive imaging of the subject's brain, though obviously the study hinged on believing that she was telling the truth about her ability to induce out-of-body experiences.

"I feel myself moving, or, more accurately, can make myself feel as if I am moving. I know perfectly well that I am not actually moving," the subject said. "There is no duality of body and mind when this happens, not really."

By performing this research, Messier hopes to assuage concerns in people who have out-of-body experiences that they are experiencing any kind of cognitive issue or impairment. The phenomenon really can occur in anyone, and is not indicative of problems of the brain.

Behind Her Eyes is not the only series to touch on astral projection.

The ending of Behind Her Eyes is certainly one of the more shocking uses of an out-of-body experience, but it's far from the only one . Films like The Big Lebowski, If I Stay, Ghost, and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind all feature them in varying forms.

The Marvel movie Doctor Strange features a particularly trippy astral projection scene, while the 2019 horror film ASTRAL is about a character who has figured out how to leave his body and winds up coming in contact with an evil spirit.

Messier likens an out-of-body-experience to the scene in Disney's Peter Pan where the main character loses his shadow, and has to reunite with it.

Supernatural TV shows like Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and, of course, Supernatural also show characters astral projecting.

Dr. Blackmore explains that instances of out-of-body experiences can be helpful and informative to the public if done correctly, but, in many cases, they serve to drive a wedge further between those who think they cannot happen and those who believe, but doubt the scientific explanations.

" When a media depiction strongly implies that these experiences are only interesting if they’re real in the sense that something has left the body, then it’s harmful, because it stops people asking questions," she says. "It makes very skeptical people go, 'That’s rubbish, because obviously it can’t happen.' And believing people go, 'Wow, this is the only exciting way of thinking about it.' The split in those two views can be encouraged by certain ways of writing about it."

But, while the researchers say that according to science, out-of-body experiences are quite unlike how they're portrayed on screen—not a product of the soul but of neurological activation and rarely controllable—Blackmore stresses that they can be thrilling, mind-opening moments, similar to watch a great movie.

“My advice is always to say what fun out-of-body experiences can be! Give up all those ideas of astral projection," she says. "Give up the idea that you’re really going to able to travel to see Granny or whatever it is, and think, ‘Wow, I’m exploring my own mind and this is so interesting. What can I do with this?'"

Premiere: Sophia Bel Taps Félix Bélisle For Hazy Dream Pop Offering "Voyage Astral"

"Voyage Astral" is out now with her 'Princess Of The Dead Vol. 2' EP expected to follow in November.

View this video on YouTube

Switching things up a touch from her usual guitar-led indie pop jams, Montreal-based singer-songwriter Sophia Bel is back with something a little different. Her new single "Voyage Astral" sees her team up with Félix Bélisle of Quebec five-piece  Choses Sauvages  for a dreamy, synth pop inward journey. A more electronic effort than past singles, Bel and Bélisle use the production from CRi as a springboard for their mind-expanding journey into the depths of human consciousness.

Explaining how the track came together, Sophia said, "'Voyage Astral' is an introspective exploration, challenging what we think we know", Sophia explains. "I was inspired by the mystery of human consciousness and our connection with the universe. Sometimes we have to dive into our past lives to evolve and I wanted to explore this idea in a light and playful way. For the first time, the words came to me in French. It was a pleasure to have Félix Bélisle from Choses Sauvages' expressive voice and smooth flute on this song!"

Comment faire un Voyage Astral: Technique et conseils

Dernière mise à jour : 20 janv. 2023

Pensez-vous que notre monde en 3 dimensions soit la seule chose qui existe ? Affirmer cela ne reviendrait-il pas à mettre une barrière à notre compréhension du monde, de l’univers, de la vie ?

Mieux vaut ne se mettre aucune limite. Et de toute façon, lorsque vous saurez comment faire un voyage Astral, vous n’en aurez plus aucune !

Tous les grands maîtres spirituels de notre monde connaissent cette vérité:

L’univers est multidimensionnel, vous êtes multidimensionnel .

Et ces techniques de voyage astral vont très vite vous le faire découvrir.

Faire un voyage astral, mais c’est quoi ?

On peut aussi l’appeler décorporation, projection astrale, sortie astrale ou expérience hors du corps. C’est tout simplement la séparation du corps astral de l’enveloppe physique.

Lorsque vous effectuez cette séparation, au travers de techniques de voyage astral spécifiques, vous vous retrouvez soudainement dans une nouvelle dimension. Ce nouveau plan d’existence se nomme le plan astral .

Sur ce plan, notre niveau de perception est complètement différent de ce que l’on connaît ici, dans la 3D. Et votre pouvoir créatif n’a aucune limite: il suffit en réalité de penser à quelque chose pour que cela apparaisse instantanément.

Il y a beaucoup de récits qui évoquent cet état d’être lors d'une expérience de mort imminente (EMI). En voyage astral, on a la sensation de flotter au-dessus de son corps, d’être omniscient, de tout voir, de tout savoir.

C’est tout simplement un voyage astral et cela est bien réel !

Les cristaux peuvent être d'une grande aide pour vous permettre de faire un voyage Astral.

La Iolite, la Tourmaline Noire ou encore la Galaxite seront d'une aide précieuse et te permettront de partir en douceur vers ton voyage.

Qu’est ce que le Plan Astral

Nous vivons en 3ième dimensions, ou plutôt, notre conscience est incarnée dans la 3ième dimension. Mais imaginez qu’il en existe bien plus, auxquels nous ne pouvons pas accéder en temps normal. Le plan Astral correspondrait à la 4ème dimension, un endroit qui existe tout autour de nous mais que nous ne pouvons pas voir, ou que nous ne pouvons pas percevoir, sauf lorsque l’on est en état modifié de conscience , en voyage astral. Bien souvent, on décrit le plan astral comme la matrice du monde physique. Pour faire plus simple, c’est depuis le plan astral que l’on crée le monde physique dans lequel on vit.

C’est un endroit où chaque pensée est une énergie qui finit par se cristalliser, se matérialiser dans le monde physique.

Pour vous donner un exemple, lorsqu’on utilise certaines techniques de visualisation et de méditation, on agit directement depuis le plan astral, on commence à créer et à modéliser notre réalité physique.

Les traditions chamaniques utilisent cette technique depuis des milliers d’années pour soigner des individus depuis le plan astral, pour découvrir certains secrets de l’univers ou développer leur conscience.

Qu’est ce que le corps Astral

Vous l’avez compris désormais, vous êtes un être multidimensionnel.

Sans un corps astral le corps physique ne serait qu’une coquille vide.

Le corps astral, aussi appelé âme , n’a aucune forme, car il n’est ni spatial ni matériel. Mais il est éternel .

On ne peut pas le voir mais il est constamment là, à l’intérieur de chacun de nous, imbriqué dans notre corps physique. C’est ce que l’on appelle aussi un corps subtil .

Lorsque l’on part sur le plan astral, on utilise donc notre corps astral pour se projeter. Mais pas de panique ! Nous restons toujours connecté à notre corps physique au travers de ce que l’on appelle le cordon d’argent . Et n’ayez aucune inquiétude sur le fait que lorsque le moment sera venu, celui-ci vous attirera directement dans votre corps physique.

Le voyage astral vu par la science

De nombreuses études ont été menées dans le but de comprendre si ces sorties de corps étaient réelles ou simplement dûes à un état modifié de la conscience, à notre imagination.

Pour cela, des chercheurs ont demandé à une personne ayant la capacité de se projeter dans l’astral à volonté de passer quelques tests.

Cet individu avait pour instruction d’identifier des images projetées dans une autre pièce grâce à un ordinateur. Le jeune homme est parvenu à plusieurs reprises à identifier l’image lors de ses sorties de corps.

Mais il ne faut pas oublier que ces capacités ne sont pas exceptionnelles. Yogis, chamanes, occultistes, moines bouddhistes, tous connaissent l’existence de ce plan et ont en leur connaissance diverses techniques pour y voyager.

Voyage astral techniques et secrets

Pour bien réussir son voyage astral, l’élément primordial est la relaxation . Plus vous êtes relaxé, plus la sortie de corps sera facile à obtenir. Il existe plusieurs techniques de voyage astral.

Choisissez un endroit calme et isolé où vous serez sûr de ne pas être dérangé.

1. Technique de la visualisation

Allongez-vous sur le dos, détendez-vous et concentrez-vous sur votre respiration pendant quelques minutes.

Commencez à contracter chaque zone, chaque muscle de votre corps puis à les relâcher. En partant des pieds jusqu’à la tête. Puis, sentez que votre corps devient très lourd, très pesant.

Imaginez que votre corps devient aussi lourd que du plomb.

Une fois arrivé ici, vous pouvez commencer à visualiser une onde bleu, ou un nuage bleu qui enveloppe tout votre corps, de la tête jusqu’aux pieds.

Laissez votre respiration devenir de plus en plus calme, de plus en plus subtile.

Une fois que vous serez relaxé très profondément, peut-être commencerez-vous à voir apparaître un signe. Cela peut être une sensation de légèreté dans tout le corps, l’impression de tomber dans un tunnel ou bien la sensation de voler.

Lorsque ce signe se manifeste, vous êtes en réalité en train de commencer à vous détacher du corps physique et à faire une sortie astrale. Laissez cela se produire, lâchez prise et commencez à explorer le monde qui vous entoure à l’aide de votre corps astral.

N'oubliez pas de vous munir d'une Tourmaline Noire ou d'une Galaxite pour vous aider à partir en voyage Astral.

2. Technique de la corde de Robert Bruce

Une fois allongé sur le dos, fermez les yeux et détendez-vous. Lorsque vous serez très relaxé, visualisez une corde qui serait attachée au plafond et qui commencerait à descendre sur vous. Sans bouger votre corps physique, imaginez les bras de votre corps astral attraper la corde et la tirer doucement dans le but de vous extraire de votre corps matériel en passant par le haut de votre tête.

Une fois sortit, n’ayez pas peur et essayez de vous éloigner rapidement afin que la corde d’argent ne vous ré-attire dans votre corps.

Il ne vous suffira que d’une intention, de votre volonté pour retourner dans votre corps physique.

3. Upacara samadhi: La méditation profonde

Certains yogis et sectes bouddhistes pratiquent la méditation profonde dans le but de pouvoir se détacher de leur corps et d'explorer les autres dimensions. C’est une technique simple mais qui demande beaucoup de détermination.

Prenez une posture de méditation confortable et concentrez toute votre attention au niveau de l’entrée des narines, sur l’air qui entre et qui sort.

Votre esprit va très vite s’égarer dans des pensées, chaque fois que cela se produit, ramenez-le à l’entrée des narines et reconcentrez-vous sur la sensation de l’air qui entre et qui sort.

C’est un travail constant qui permet d’enseigner à l’esprit à rester focalisé sur un objet (la respiration) et à arrêter de partir dans des pensées.

En faisant cela, vous commencez à devenir très présent, très attentif.

Lorsque plus aucune pensée ne réussit à interrompre l’esprit durant plusieurs minutes d'affilée, vous serez proche d’ upacara samadhi.

Une fois entré, vous êtes complètement immergé par l’instant présent. Votre Chakra Ajna devient très actif. Vous expérimentez tout ce qui se présente à vous, les sons, les sensations, sans aucun jugement, et c’est une pure jubilation, un état de pur bonheur.

D’ici, il vous est possible d’accéder au plan astral en faisant sortir votre corps astral hors du corps matériel via le sommet de la tête. C’est pour cela que Upacara est appelé “concentration d’accès” !

Précautions à prendre lors d'un voyage astral

L’ésotérisme, et plus particulièrement le voyage astral, n’est pas un jeu; c’est la dernière chose que l’on doit pratiquer si l’on se sent fragile ou que l’on souhaite fuir le réel. Une sortie de corps peut être une expérience très intense, générer des peurs ou de l’anxiété voir même mener à la folie.

Ne tentez l’expérience uniquement que si vous vous sentez en confiance, avec un esprit clair, courageux et en bonne santé.

Alors les infinies possibilités du plan astral s’ouvriront à vous. Et vous en sortirez transformé.
