Projection Techniques — Part 1

Are you only a physical body?

Projection allows us to expand our awareness beyond the body. There are two main types of projection: astral projection and projection of the soul personality. Through projection we recognize that we are distinct from the body and free from its physical limitations. As we are able to successfully expand our awareness, we gain a renewed sense of freedom, love and bliss.

Higher Yogas Classes

Projection Brings Freedom

In expanding your awareness beyond the body, you are able to realize that the self is distinct from the body. You feel free from the constraints of the physical body which now feels very light and translucent.

As you release the dominance of body awareness, you feel like a new person — happy, carefree, and more connected to nature and others. You find a new harmony of life. Your mind is clear, objective and ready for higher levels of awareness.

  • Projection requires the cooperation of the mind but is beyond the mind
  • In astral projection you send part of yourself to a distant place
  • Projection of soul personality involves sending out more of your being (but not the body)
  • Practicing vitalizing various body parts can lead to a stronger flow of energy from them
  • Another technique is to locate the ‘I’ sense and expand it beyond the physical body
  • Expansions bring a greater attunement with life — you return refreshed, freer, more conscious and excited to be alive

How to Succeed

As you may know, we do not charge for our courses. All Yoga World content is free and available to you with our blessings. However, we do have a simple, but important request that’s key to the transformations necessary to succeed on the path.

We ask you to commit two hours a week to selfless service. This service can be anything you choose ranging from helping a family member or neighbor to volunteering at a nonprofit organization.

I Commit to Serve

This commitment is solely between you and your inner self.
