anyone know mantras for astral projection?
how do they work?
Mantras are an effective way of positive thinking. Pretty much everything in the 'astral' is based around the idea of, "If I think I can do it, then I can." So if you tell yourself positive words of encouragement then you're much more likely to achieve your goal. It also gives you something to do rather than sit there and wait.
For my practices I listen to Monroe's audio files. There's nothing special about what he says, they just keep my mind on what I'm doing, and keep me from drifting off. I don't need them, but I like Monroe's voice, it's very calming to me.
Point being, mantras aren't like magical spells which will activate your soul or anything. They're not specially formatted for activating the chakras or whatever. A mantra is simply words of encouragement. However it's obviously nice to think they do something special, and putting our faith in other people. Thus why they're so popular.
Make up your own mantras instead of looking for other people's. It can be anything, like repeating the word "Relax" or going in to great detail about how you are not limited by your physical body yadda yadda. As long as you're positively thinking, and you KNOW you can do it, then you'll be successful, no matter what you say.
