Head Kandy - Subtle Body

IDS Recordings

Over this past week it has become more visible to me in my personal life and my own work, the nature and many of the challenging themes playing out within the realm of shadow work or acknowledgement of the unconscious Self—and integration.

I observe the many ways in which the collective is being moved towards seeing not only the real-time results of the suppression and/or ignorance of our darker or “cut-off” nature—but that this is also occurring in a manner which feels disarming. That meaning, we may not necessarily find ourselves in a position that allows us to carry onward comfortably utilizing the same methodologies we have used in our past. We are in a position of major checks and balances. We can see this in the world as much as we can see this in our own lives. These can be very uncomfortable times.

The work I do is very slow in nature because it bears in mind the evolution of human consciousness and the many subtle layers of trauma we hold. I’ve never been one for rushing growth or giving the appearance of such things. Release, surrender, flow, connection, detachment—most often such words are spoken of with ease and a kind of lightheartedness, but the reality of this kind of development is often grueling in nature because it comes at the cost of the destruction of all things built upon the falsehoods of Ego, or survival driven existence. The variety of garments worn that exhibit such things span far and wide, which is why it behooves us to never judge by appearances—and when moved to do so, to question that very thing within us that drives us towards this default in our nature. This kind of inquiry will oftentimes show us the very ways in which we carry similar traits, tendencies, or what may be perceived as flaws—and the modalities we use to gloss over or change the appearance of such things within ourselves.

There is a distinct kind of beauty within the very act of inquiry alone, and the growth that comes as a result. This becomes a large part of observing the phenomena—the phenomena that plays out in correlation to how we perceive the world and it’s connection to self-perception and awareness.

When you work on your body, mind, breath, and soul, you can find out a dimension of intelligence working within you, pure consciousness and awareness. This dimension can be achieved in many ways, one of the way is by slow conscious breathing or by holding inhales and exhales gradually, know as kumbhaka Pranayam.

Keep practicing, master your body, mind and spirit, master yourself..🙏❤️☺️🕉️🔱✨💫

[Splitting up a previous post to separate out astral/physical body vs. the gender identity metaphor]

Having a physical body on this plane, a vessel, is sort of like slipping into a deep sea diving suit. It is not 'us' in our entirety but it allows us to exist on and interact with that environment or 'plane'. True, it is something we own and use and we might even become very attached to our diving suit. We can even decorate it in ways to please us and express our 'internal character' more. And yes, it is how we might be perceived initially to beings of that plane, the deep sea creatures. Yet, our internal nature and what we are made of--in other words, what our actual biological body is made of in this metaphor--is not the same as that suit.

Now just think of it a level removed. The diving suit is to the biological body as the biological body is to the astral body.And there you have it.

And now imagine that there are MANY planes on which we can travel. Each requires a different kind of vessel. For space, we need a space suit. For the reef, maybe just a regular scuba suit will suffice. Carrying our previous connection forward, we can imagine that there are infinite planes of the Universe. Each might require a different 'suit' or 'vessel' to best interact with it. But each suit is not 'us' in our entirety.

Astral projection is one of those subjects that can entirely split a room.

For some, it is an eye-opening, soul changing experience that can help give you a new, fresh perspective on life, spirituality and the universe.

But for others, it is a dangerous, unnatural and demonic endeavour that holds too many risks for them – and they discourage others from doing it!

But is astral projection a dangerous and demonic activity? Or is it quite the opposite?

What Is Astral Projection?

Astral projection refers to the act of inducing an out-of-body experience, or OBE. Free from the physical body, the astral projector travels with their soul or spiritual body on the astral plane.

I love going to sleep because I can access the astral plane at will and it really is an amazing experience. It helped me reconnect with a former friend, it helped me access esoteric information... it has helped me with so many things.

Using Astral Projection – which takes dedication, time and effort to develop – a person can discover the astral plane in a far richer and more concrete way than during meditation.

So Is Astral Projection Dangerous?

In a word: No.

When you leave your physical body during astral projection, you inhabit only your soul.

Anything that happens to your subtle body in this state will not affect your physical body, and if you are in too much danger on the astral plane, you will merely wake in your physical body as you would from a dream.

Of course, your physical body is in some danger as you are not inhabiting it, but it is in no more danger than it would be if you were asleep.

If anything were to hurt you, your nerve endings would still alert you, and your soul quickly bounces back into your body.

As long as you don’t try astral projection while laying in the middle of the main road, there is no danger of coming to any physical harm while on an OBE.

But Is Astral Projection Demonic?

There are demons on the astral plane, and you may encounter them.

These are negative energy beings that seek to sap the vibrational energy from others, which can cause a variety of negative spiritual symptoms in the unwary astral traveller.

But with proper preparation and guidance, these beings can be fought or fled from with ease.

The act of astral projection itself is in no way demonic. There is no black magic at play here, no satanic rituals or animal sacrifice. It is not even slightly religious or negative in itself in any way.

Astral projection is simply an induced change of perspective, using our own spiritual energies to release our narrow perspective from the confines of the physical realm.

Once our soul is free from our bodies, we are free from our current lifetimes restraints.

Those who claim that astral projection is demonic and dangerous have drastically misunderstood what astral projection is and what the process involves.

So if someone tells you that you shouldn’t try astral projection because it is demonic and dangerous, consider asking them when was the last time they tried astral projection.

In all likelihood, their answer will begin with: “I’ve never tried it, but…”

You can ignore everything after the “but”.

Have you tried astral projection? Have you had a good or bad experience while in an OBE?
