Astral Travel

Lavkush · May 16, 2023

Sri Matre Namaha,

I've read several places where Guruji mentions Astral travel, astral beings who can travel in time and of course his many inspiring experiences.

I've also read several sadhakas experiencing out of body travel during yoga nidra, kundalini meditation etc.

I just want to hear more about astral travel or subtle body travel (sukshma sharir ki yatra) and it's place in Sri Vidya.

Are there specific methods to astral travel out of the body, or is it better to let it occur spontaneously as a side effect of our Sri Vidya sadhana?

Śrī Matre Namaḥ

Based on the information that I have the only practice that is connected to astral travel is Yoga Nidra which is included as part of the Starter Regime course.

During the practice, one relaxes every part of your body and after sinking the body into the ground, the spirit rises from it to soar and experience astral travel, going beyond the limits of the physical body. As a result of the practice, one will get the realization that one has a different body that survives the physical one.
