 .:. Astral Projection or Out of Body Experience .:. ASTRAL TRAVELER .:.
In simple terms, Astral Projections or as some call them, Out of Body Experiences (OBEs), are the experiences in which a person seems to leave his/her body and to observe the world from a point of view other than that which he would have were he is still 'in' his/her body.
By doing this, it forces the Astral body to move out of coincidence from the physical counterpart and project itself towards the glass of water.
The Astral Body, belonging to every person, is an exact duplicate of the perfect physical body of that person.

 Astral Projection
Each of us here has these experiences to some extent even before birth while in the womb and most of us have had an out of body experience at some point in our lives.
The description of out of body experience is most typically, that one is lying in bed asleep or awake, when suddenly you experience a range sensations, often including strong vibrations, heaviness, humming and paralysis.
You may feel as though you still have a body or may feel a more elongated non-bodily form or as though you have no body at all and are just aware of being in a conscious presence of mind.

 ET&S [3 (3)] - The Body Matrix:  A Phenomenological Exploration of Student Bodies On-line
The students feel WCC is a silent place.   Yet, they describe their experiences filled with the language of sound.  Within a WCC, there is silence, but it is not without sound.
The article explores student experiences of their bodies in an asynchronous on-line learning environment, web-based computer conference (WCC), using hermeneutic phenomenology as a research method.  Students in the study experience their bodies to be both here, seated in front of their computers, and there, on-line.
The virtual body exists, according to Merleau-Ponty (1964), in reflection and subjectivity.  My sense of body is not restricted by the concrete; it is where I can imagine myself to be.  The virtual body takes on a new meaning with the advent of technologies that allow us to travel beyond the physical body.

Let the vector n be normal (perpendicular) to the edge of body B that is being impacted, and pointing outward from body B. Also let the vector n be of length 1.
Body A experiences an impulse of j n while body B experiences the equal but opposite impulse of −j n.
We now use a standard formula for the velocity of an arbitrary point on a rotating and translating rigid body to get the pre-collision velocities of the points of collision (which is the point P on each body).

 Out-of-body experience - free-definition
An OBE may be contrasted with astral projection, which does not require the perception of one's own body from the outside, and which does not typically posit that one's consciousness or soul is actually travelling through our day-to-day physical reality.
In some cases, the feeling of being outside the body is something that is suddenly realized after the fact; they see their bodies almost by accident.
Skeptics also point to the increasing body of evidence which ties mental functions such as perception and memory to exclusively physical processes which occur in the brain; and note that no known mechanism would account for how these processes could occur at a distance (the mind-body problem).

 mind/body problem
Nor, as Descartes argues, can it be said that thinking, feeling, imagining, etc., are different parts, since it is one and the same mind that thinks, feels, imagines, etc. The mind in this case should be thought of not as a bunch of conscious experiences but as the subject of experiences.
Now, I think that the mind/body problem can be viewed as a paradox resulting from the conflicting claims of these five statements, and the various theories of the mind/body relationship can be viewed as attempts each to deny one or more of the above theses.
The problem in a nutshell is that since people are composed of chemicals, they must be physically explicable, but yet since they have consciousness they can't.

 Out of Body Experience
Out of body experiences are apparently universal, as they are reported in many diverse and distant cultures of the world.
Reports of out of body experiences tend to share some common characteristics, such as the ability to travel through walls and other physical structures, the experience of vibrations and loud noises (music or rushing noises) just before leaving the body, a snap or pop as one separates from the body, and distorted vision and/or hearing.

 Pineal gland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rene Descartes called the pineal gland the "seat of the soul", believing it was unique in the anatomy of the human brain in being a structure not duplicated on the right and left sides.
This endogeous chemical in the human brain is believed to play a role in dreaming and possibly near-death experiences and other mystical states.
The pineal gland is occasionally referred to as the "third eye" in occult religions, and is believed by some to be a dormant organ that can be awakened to enable telepathic communication.

 The Mental Body by A.E.Powell - Part 2 of 2
The student should recollect that most people realise so little of their mental life, even as led in the body, that when they are presented with a picture of mental life out of the body, they lose all sense of reality, and feel as though they had passed into a world of dream.
In devachan, the heaven world, all that was valuable in the moral and mental experiences of the Thinker during the life just ended is worked out, meditated over, and gradually transmuted into definite moral and mental faculty, into powers which he will take with him to his next incarnation.
The final separation of the mental body from the astral does not involve any pain or suffering; in fact, it is impossible that the ordinary man should in any way realise its nature; he would simply feel himself sinking gently into a delightful repose.

 Experiences in the Etheric and Astral
The consciousness in the etheric body state was always clear, as to my experiences, I was alert exactly as in daytime awake state; therefore I often thought to have become awake and to have fallen out of trance.
Due to this latter fact, very often the existence of an etheric body is ignored, which leads to confusion and to a lack of understanding for diverse reports of experiences.
The "composite double" (composed of the etheric- and the astral-body, like shells one in the other), here called etheric body (in the way of simplification), is dissociated from the physical body by special techniques, which differ from pure astral projection techniques.

Its also very important to remember to watch and make sure that during this process there are no thoughts or emotions going on within you, ultimately these spoil the practice as well because the more attention we pay to them, the less chance we have of becoming aware of the sleep process.
