Affirmations for Astral Projection
Affirmations have proven their effectiveness over the past forty years. Today they are a regular part of self-improvement courses worldwide. An affirmation is essentially a strong, positive statement about yourself stated in present tense. The root word, affirm, means to "make firm;" it is a method of solidifying a thought or idea within ourselves. Affirmations have proven to be extremely effective when used properly. They should always be formed as a positive statement; for example, "I am a positive person," "I deserve love," or "I am getting better and better every minute, every day" are commonly used affirmations.
Every moment our minds are flowing with a constant stream of thoughts. Our thoughts are continuously influencing our physical and nonphysical reality. Our intellectual, emotional, and, finally, our physical state of consciousness is the direct result of our thoughts.
Affirmations allow us to focus our thoughts and counteract some of the negative ideas we have accepted. The practice of doing affirmations enables us to begin the process of replacing negative or limiting thoughts with fresh, positive ones. It is a powerful method to reprogram ourselves for positive change and personal success.
Affirmations can be repeated silently, aloud, in writing, or even expressed in the form of a song or rhyme. In out-of-body exploration they are generally repeated silently, with increasing emphasis on the last few moments before the onset of sleep. The goal is to be completely focused upon your desire for an immediate out-of-body experience as you drift to sleep.
For maximum effectiveness when using affirmations during any out-of-body technique, it's important to do four things.

Visualization with Affirmations
Lie on your back and become as comfortable as possible. Close your eyes, completely relax and breathe deeply, slowly, and naturally. As you relax, repeat an affirmation such as "Now I'm out-of-body" or "I now separate from my body in full awareness." Continue this affirmation until you begin to get sleepy.
As you mentally repeat this affirmation, begin to visualize a place with which you are familiar. This could be a room in your home or any place you know well. The key is to select a place you know and can imagine with absolute clarity. Now begin to picture the room in your mind. As vividly as possible, see the details of the room - feel the carpet under your feet, the fabric of the curtains and furniture. See the patterns in the wallpaper and feel the texture of the furniture. Notice and explore the paintings, the books, all the small details. Become absorbed in the details of the room. Feel yourself walking around the room. Notice how good it feels, how comfortable it is. As much as possible, use all of your senses.
Select one item in the room. Pick it up and feel its texture, its weight. See and feel this object as clearly as possible. Become completely absorbed in it. Continue your affirmations as you drift off.
The key to this exercise is to maintain your interest outside your body until your body falls asleep. The combination of affirmations with this visualization is extremely effective.
