Beginner’s Astral: Healing
If you haven’t already, please read my introductory post on astral traveling here. I am not talking about astral projection, but instead about astral travel. There is a difference! All you need to learn how to do is meditate and visualize. A starter exercise to get you on your way is in the article I linked above.
This is a very simple healing exercise I like to do every so often to cleanse my energy.
Set up your protection in order to prepare for your journey. A simple shield around you will do wonders for this exercise since you are not traveling outside of your own sanctuary that you will be traveling in.
You can choose to ground yourself, but that is entirely up to you.
Quiet your mind, meditate, and find yourself in the astral. If you don’t know how to do this, please visit the link above. You can even use the forest exercise that I gave you in that article and incorporate this into it.
Start to think about what type of energy you want to cleanse you. You can create a large pond filled with cleansing water, or you can visualize fire that you will step into, or even rain that will wash away any gunky energy that you’re carrying around.
Surround yourself with that energy and imagine it reaching every corner of your body. Know that it is cleansing and purifying your energy while revitalizing it. I will give different examples below to give you an idea of different ways I have cleansed myself.
Start to become aware of our physical world and step out of the astral.
That’s it! It’s really that simple. There are so many ways that you can cleanse yourself. The best part about it is that you will be able to choose the type of energy that you associate with the most.
Typically, I like to play natural sounds in the background depending on what exercise I’m doing. If my cleansing involves rain, I listen to thunderstorms on YouTube. If my cleansing involves fire, I listen to the crackling of fire. It’s all up to you! Here are a few examples. Be creative! You’re not limited to just these:
You find yourself in front of a large pond. The water is clear and buzzing with energy. You find yourself walking towards the pond and soon you are waist deep in it. Cup the water in your hand and start bathing yourself. Allow the clear water to reach deep within your energy and wash away the heavy energy that you carry around.
A flurry of fire starts to surround you. It doesn’t burn, but is instead warm to the touch. The fire starts to grow close to you and envelops you. You know that it is permeating deep into your energy, burning away all the old and heavy energy you carry. Allow the fire to burn and revitalize your energy until all that’s left is new energy, reborn like a phoenix.
You look up at the sky in your sanctuary and see that a storm is coming. It isn’t ominous, but instead it brings electric energy. It’s here to empower you. The rain starts falling, slowly at first. One by one, each drop falls and you feel the warm rain start to pick up in speed. As the rain falls on you, it washes away all of the heavy energy you carry. The thunderclaps in the sky recharge you.
I think you get the idea! Cleanse yourself of old emotions, old memories, or just old energy that you’ve been carrying around with you. Sometimes I re-apply any wards or shields that I have on my astral body after I’ve wiped my energy clean. You can do this as often as you’d like. If you have any questions, let me know!
