When the inner self, soul or spirit of an individual has the power or ability to detach itself from the bondage of its physical body and project itself into higher ethereal astral planes, the phenomenon is known as projection of astral body.

There are two models reflecting two different thought process or beliefs where projection of astral body is concerned. These are the Phasing Model and the Mystical Model which are two distinctly different school of thoughts regarding what projection of astral body is all about.

According to the Mystical Model, astral planes are believed to be located at higher ethereal realms external to one’s physical body and the projection of one’s astral body takes place from the physical body, outwards and upwards to these higher levels of consciousness. Thus, this model believes in the externality of the entire phenomenon.

More in-depth into this line of thought, projection of astral body involves creation of this subtle energy body within oneself and thereafter projecting it outside its physical body to the higher astral planes. The astral body thus projected remains connected to the physical one by a silver, umbilical energy cord.

Numerous books have been written on the basis of this Mystical Model of projection of astral body, and the immensely popular ones are those of ‘Out of Body Experiences’ by Robert Peterson , ‘Astral Dynamics’ by Robert Bruce and ‘Projection of Astral Body’ by Carrington and Muldoon all explaining the underlying concept thereof and practices and tips to successfully attaining it.

Projection of astral body, as a concept also has its explanation in the Phasing Model of astral projection. According to this school of thought, the projection occurs in a phase and not external to the physical body as propounded by the Mystical Model. In simple terms this line of thinking is all about considering the physical body and the astral plane as two extremes, or in other words, two phases of the entire spectrum of consciousness.

Defined by Robert Munroe, this model gives the view of projection of astral body as an internal phenomenon where the projection occurs to a different phase of consciousness and not to an externally located plane of existence. Thus, the phasing Model is more in line with the belief that the external reality of an individual is an internally created state of his.

It must be said at this point that clarity regarding the validity or effectiveness of either of these two above mentioned models still remains to be proved. Moreover, discussions and debates regarding whether each and every physical aspect has its corresponding astral counterpart or whether spirits reincarnate in physicals bodies resulting in the entire phenomenon of astral projection are still some things that mankind is involved in while some believe that projection of astral body is due to something entirely different from all this.

It can be concluded that whatever may be the explanation that remains to be proven in time, projection of astral body is an experience of a lifetime which gives one a sense of an afterlife or what happens after death, changing and developing one’s outlook towards life, death and reality for ever.
