The ones who are terrified about astral projections are those who have never had astral experiences. Some of them claim to have been told by certain "authorities" in the subject that astral projection is dangerous. More often than not, these "authorities" turn out to be people who have never had a projection in their lives. People are scared to practice astral projection because they think they would either be possessed or die outside their bodies.

However, both these fears are baseless. Astral projection is one of the safest activities on earth.

1. Possession Is Impossible

People have been projecting for ages without getting possessed. They leave their bodies for long periods of time and even visit outer space; yet they don't get possessed. What prevents you from having a successful projection is fear, not any negative entities waiting to possess you. Fear of possession is actually the fruit of ignorance.

Possession is impossible for three good reasons.

A. We Project Daily

Actually, we always leave our bodies whenever we sleep, but we are not aware of it. We might remember our astral experiences as dreams. In case of astral projection, we attempt to leave our bodies consciously. If possession was possible, we would be getting possessed all the time.

B. Our Bodies Are Unique

Moreover, our bodies are unique, and they can hold only our astral selves. A mischievous or negative entity would not be able to fit into our bodies. Why, if any energy could fit into any body, we would have accidentally possessed our friends and family members all the time.

C. Your Astral Body Returns

You cannot die during your astral travels because the astral body always returns to the physical body. It has to by nature.

Whenever the physical body is disturbed, the astral body instantly returns to it. This is true even in case of the slightest disturbances, such as your spouse turning in his/her sleep or a slight noise in the next room. You simply cannot be possessed without you knowing anything about it and doing everything in your power to prevent it.

Your astral body is in constant communication with your physical body, and at the slightest disturbance, your astral body returns to your physical body, thus making any possession by an unwanted entity absolutely impossible.

2. Death Is Impossible

Many people have the misconception that the astral body leaving the physical body is a sure sign of death. Astral projection has been practiced from times immemorial; yet not a single case of death during projection has been recorded. People die when asleep owing to medical conditions such as heart attacks, aneurysms, and so on, not because their astral body had separated from the physical-something that happens regularly.

Possession is a very rare phenomenon. The people who get possessed are very negative individuals or deeply troubled teenagers. Astral projectors have never ever been victims of possession. Of course, you can get teased by a mischievous or negative lower astral entity when you are out of your body for the first time. This is because amateur astral projectors have coarse vibrations. However, these troublesome entities will never be able to actually harm you or possess you.

If you are still scared, you can protect yourself by imagining that a soft white light envelops your body. In the astral, thoughts are immediately materialized. If you have protected yourself with such visualization, no mischievous entity will ever be able to bother you. Rest assured that your physical body will remain safe and protected till you are ready to re-enter it.
