Astral Travel: The Mystic’s Journey Beyond the Body

By Prof. Dr. Arshad Afzal
Former Faculty Member, Umm Al-Qura University, Makkah, KSA

"The body sleeps, but the soul takes flight — crossing unseen realms and secret dimensions."

Since ancient times, mystics, sages, and seekers have spoken of a wondrous phenomenon — Astral Travel, the art of journeying beyond the physical body while remaining tethered to life by a silver thread.

It is not fantasy; it is an age-old mystical reality — a sacred skill practiced across cultures and civilizations for spiritual discovery, divine communion, and cosmic exploration.

Today, let us part the veils and step into the luminous corridors of Astral Travel.

What is Astral Travel?

Astral Travel, also known as soul travel or out-of-body experience (OBE), is the conscious separation of the subtle body (the soul, spirit, or ruh) from the physical body.

In this ethereal state:

  • You can float above your sleeping form.
  • You can travel across the Earth and even beyond.
  • You can visit spiritual realms, converse with beings of light, and receive cosmic wisdom.

Ancient Sufis called it Mi'raj al-Ruh (Ascension of the Soul), Hindu mystics referred to it as Parakaya Pravesha, and shamans of indigenous traditions knew it as soul flight.

Signs You May Have Astrally Traveled

  • Feeling weightless or floating sensation during sleep
  • Vibrations or buzzing sounds in the head before awakening
  • Seeing your own sleeping body from above
  • Traveling to unknown but vivid landscapes
  • Encountering spiritual beings or guides

Many people experience spontaneous astral projections without realizing it!

Why Mystics Practice Astral Travel

Astral Travel is not merely an adventure — it is a sacred journey towards the Infinite.

Simple Method to Attempt Astral Travel

  1. Prepare Your Space:
    Quiet room, dim lights, relaxed atmosphere.

  2. Relax the Body Completely:
    Use deep breathing. Tension must leave you.

  3. Focus the Mind:
    Chant a sacred phrase softly (like "Allahu Noor", "Om", or "Hu") to calm thoughts.

  4. Visualize Separation:
    Imagine floating upwards, like mist rising from water.

  5. Feel, Don't Force:
    Let go of control. It happens through surrender, not struggle.

Remember: Protection prayers are essential. Always seek the Light’s guardianship before attempting any astral endeavor.

Astral Travel and Sacred Traditions

  • Islamic Mysticism (Sufism): Prophet Muhammad’s Isra and Mi'raj is the supreme sacred journey beyond worlds.
  • Ancient Egyptian Mysticism: Ka (spirit) was believed to travel while the Ba (body) remained.
  • Himalayan Yogis: Documented conscious astral travel as a natural stage of deep spiritual practice.

Across traditions, astral travel was never seen as entertainment.
It was revered as a divine privilege and a holy trust.

  Whispers of the Ancestors: Decoding the Spiritual Teachings of Native American Totems and Animal Spirits In the vast spiritual landscape of the Americas, where rivers run like veins through sacred earth and mountains whisper tales of old, the Indigenous peoples of North America have nurtured a profound esoteric tradition—rooted not in temples, but in nature itself. Their spiritual compass? The animal spirits and totemic beings , whose symbols guide, protect, and awaken those willing to listen. Today, we dive into this rich mystic legacy to uncover how Native American totems and animal spirit guides can unlock inner power, offer cosmic guidance, and connect us to the eternal voices of our ancestors. The Sacred Totem: A Personal Power Symbol In Native American traditions, a totem is more than an emblem—it is a spiritual kin, a guardian essence that reflects your soul’s path.

Scientific mysticism

  Scientific Mysticism: Bridging the Gap Between Science and the Unknown For centuries, science and mysticism have been viewed as opposing forces—one rooted in empirical evidence and logic, the other in intuition and spiritual experience. However, a deeper exploration reveals that these two fields are not only interconnected but may also be complementary. Scientific mysticism is an emerging perspective that seeks to unite the wisdom of ancient mystical traditions with modern scientific discoveries, offering profound insights into the nature of reality, consciousness, and the universe. What is Scientific Mysticism? Scientific mysticism is the study of mystical experiences, esoteric knowledge, and spiritual phenomena through the lens of science. It does not dismiss spiritual traditions but instead analyzes them using scientific methodologies such as quantum mechanics, neuroscience, psychology, and cosmology. Rather than treating mystical experiences as mere superstitions, scien...

  Blog 4 of the World Spiritual Healing Systems Series Title: “Celestial Codes — Astrology, Stars, and the Divine Blueprint of Healing” In our mystical-academic journey across the globe’s sacred healing traditions, we now look upward — to the shimmering constellations and planetary rhythms that ancient civilizations believed governed our well-being. This fourth entry in the series unravels how celestial bodies have long whispered secrets of the soul, prescribing remedies not just for the body, but for the energetic and karmic layers of existence. The Cosmos as Healer: A Forgotten Prescription From the temples of ancient Egypt to the Himalayas, and from Chinese Daoist cosmology to Mayan calendars, astrologers were once revered as spiritual physicians. Each culture studied the movement of stars, believing that planetary alignments influence everything from organ health to mental states. The natal chart, in this view, was more than personality analysis — it was a soul-map of ailme...
