1. Astral projection

   Astral projection (also known as astral travel) is a term used in esotericism to describe an intentional out-of-body experience (OBE) that assumes the existence of a subtle body called an "astral body" or "body of light" through which consciousness can function separately from the physical body and travel throughout the astral plane.The idea of astral travel is ancient and occurs in multiple cultures. The modern terminology of "astral projection" was coined and promoted by 19th-century Theosophists. It is sometimes reported in association with dreams and forms of meditation. Some individuals have reported perceptions similar to descriptions of astral projection that were induced through various hallucinogenic and hypnotic means (including self-hypnosis). Those who have never had these experiences, are the most critical of their existence. The scientific community doubts its existence heavily, given their lack of scientific evidence. As with most spiritual belief systems throughout the world, there is no scientific evidence that there is a consciousness whose embodied functions are separate from normal neural activity or that one can consciously leave the body and make observations of the physical universe,[7] and astral projection has been characterized as a pseudoscience[8] by some scientific communities. As always, astral projection is left up to interpretation by the individual who has such experiences; leaving modern day science with several unanswered questions.

1. Astral Projection

   Astral projection refers to an out-of-body experience where an individual's consciousness or soul separates from their physical body and travels to other realms or dimensions of existence. During an astral projection, a person may perceive themselves as floating or moving freely without a physical form, allowing them to explore and interact with different planes of consciousness, spiritual realms, or the astral plane. It is often considered a form of self-induced or intentional travel beyond the limitations of the physical body.

1. Astral Projection

   Astral projection is an interpretation of out-of-body experience that assumes the existence of an "astral body" separate from the physical body and capable of traveling outside it. Astral projection or travel denotes the astral body leaving the physical body to travel in the astral plane. The idea of astral travel is rooted in common worldwide religious accounts of the afterlife in which the consciousness' or soul's journey or "ascent" is described in such terms as "an... out-of body experience, wherein the spiritual traveller leaves the physical body and travels in his/her subtle body into ‘higher’ realms." It is therefore associated with near death experiences and is also frequently reported as spontaneously experienced in association with sleep and dreams, illness, surgical operations, drug experiences, sleep paralysis and forms of meditation. It is sometimes attempted out of curiosity, or may be believed to be necessary to, or the result of, some forms of spiritual practice. It may involve "travel to higher realms" called astral planes but is commonly used to describe any sensation of being "out of the body" in the everyday world, even seeing one's body from outside or above. It may be reported in the form of an apparitional experience, a supposed encounter with a doppelgänger, some living person also seen somewhere else at the same time.
