Is astral projection really the soul (astral body) leaving the physical to enter other spiritual realms?
MiBeloved’s Response:
Astral projection means that the subtle body, the same body used in imaginative dreams, separates out of the physical form and lives in the subtle world or astral world. This is not the spiritual world. It is a material world but of a higher vibration.
Some persons call the astral places, spiritual realms, but there is a higher order of existence above those astral planes.

Or is it all in the mind, and just us exploring the hidden power behind our sub-conscience?
MiBeloved’s Response:
There is such a thing as dreaming in the mind space. This is not astral projection but it can be confused with astral projection. There is astral projection which is different to dreaming in the mind space.
Just as if I think of a person I like, I can imagine myself in the arms of that person and enjoy that emotionally, one can live out dream existence in the same way but all the same there is such a thing as a physical reality where I could meet that dear person and enjoy with that person in a bedroom or in a park which is also objective physically.
There is a real astral world and there is also real mind imaginings which occur only in the person mind and not in the external astral world.

I tend to lean towards the idea of the astral body leaving the physical body. But certain things make me question this. For example: Why would one need to enter sleep paralysis or be on the border of sleep and waking life to project. Also some people use binaural beats to astral project, how does the spirit body relate to brain waves?
MiBeloved’s Response:
Sleep paralysis is not a requirement for astral projection, but it is one of the states from which one may make an astral projection. The significance of sleep paralysis is not astral projection but is the fact that in that state one becomes aware of the psychic mechanisms which regulate the astral body’s departure from or fusion into the physical body.
A person can fall asleep and then wake up on the astral side in an astral projection. Just as sometimes a person begins to sleep walk, gets going to the door, heads to his or her car and then realizes that a sleep waking session is on; one can find oneself in an astral projection in the same way.
In other words, astral projection is not really controlled by desire for it or desire to control it. It occurs regardless of that but we are not always conscious of it. The astral body separates out from the physical one each time the physical one sleeps, but still a person may not be aware of the separation and might draw a blank mind through the whole experience.
When we say that a person astral projected, what we actually mean is that the person astral projected consciously. For most people astral projection occurs in the unconscious.
------------------------------------------
Binaural beats help to bring the mind into a state where it can easily be induced to astral project. The mind is hypnotized by the rhythm and it enters into a tranquility from which it is easy to astral project consciously.
