One does not want to astral travel. Not only is it a trap but it is a dangerous trap.
But we might all inadvertently astral travel while sleeping and this can impact or prevent healing during a healing crisis, if we suffer from PTSD, anxiety, schizophrenia and numerous other issues and/or concerns.
You can help prevent your body from astral travelling by placing a picture of a Master Yogi, your favourite Spiritual Master or a picture of the Sacred Lotus Flower on the wall that is directly in front of the foot of your bed.
What happens is that while you are sleeping at night, your astral body will tend to raise upward and then outward from your physical body. This can make you work while you are sleeping and not get proper rest. You can be taken to parts of the Mind which are frightening, and this can keep you awake.
Having a picture of one of the above suggestions will then remind your astral body that it is a time to rest. Your astral body will then not astral travel. In turn this allows you a better night's sleep and healing.
If you do not have a picture of a Master Yogi or a Spiritual Master, then you can always draw your own lotus flower and place it on the wall at the foot of your bed.
Some Spiritual Masters include, but are not limited to:
- Jesus Christ
- The Buddha
- Yogananda
- Swami Vivekananda
- Ramana Marharshi
- Ramakrishna
- Swami Yukteswar
- ... and many more
Here are some examples of picture to put at the front of your bed:
