Projection of Astral Body refers to separation of one’s inner soul or spirit from that of his physical body and projection of the same outwards from the latter into other astral planes or higher realms of consciousness.

There are two models reflecting two different thought process or beliefs where projection of astral body is concerned. These are the Phasing Model and the Mystical Model which are two distinctly different school of thoughts regarding what projection of astral body is all about.

Projection of astral body as explained by the Mystical Model puts it across as a true out of body experience. Thus, this school of thought as defined by Robert Munroe believes in the existence of astral planes as higher levels or realms that exists externally to the physical universe. Hence the soul of a man separates from that of his physical body and travels outwards and upwards to it.

According to this Mystical Model, the astral body is an energy form or a subtle energy body within a person which is projected to higher astral plane. Moreover, a common belief is the fact that this astral body remains connected to the physical body with the help of an illuminated silver umbilical energy cord.

The main works on the Mystical Model approach of projection of astral body can be found in the books of ‘Out of Body Experiences’ by Robert Peterson, ‘Astral Dynamics’ by Robert Bruce and ‘Projection of Astral Body’ by Carrington and Muldoon which go on to explaining the phenomenon as an external out of body experience thereof.

According to the Phasing Model, projection of astral body is not about projecting one’s inner self to an externally located astral plane as given by the Mystical Model. Rather, it talks about the physical existence and the astral body as the two extremes or two distinct phases on the same consciousness spectrum.

Defined by Robert Munroe, this model gives the view of projection of astral body as an internal phenomenon where the projection occurs to a different phase of consciousness and not to an externally located plane of existence. Thus, the phasing Model is more in line with the belief that the external reality of an individual is an internally created state of his.

It must be said at this point that clarity regarding the validity or effectiveness of either of these two above mentioned models still remains to be proved. Moreover, discussions and debates regarding whether each and every physical aspect has its corresponding astral counterpart or whether spirits reincarnate in physicals bodies resulting in the entire phenomenon of astral projection are still some things that mankind is involved in while some believe that projection of astral body is due to something entirely different from all this.

It can be concluded that identification of the philosophies that good in case of projection of astral body still remains to be seen but an undoubted fact remains that astral projection is an experience of a lifetime and thereby develops an individual’s outlook or mindset forever, towards aspects such as life, death, his true potential, relationships and reality.
