Hey!
Can anyone please tell me more about the "astral plane" I keep hearing this term but haven't quite figured it out yet. Is it just the world to your spirit after it's left your body and you can roam around? Or is it like a completely different, out of this world place?
Also, any tips on Astral Projection and/or meditation/concentration. I practice so much but I have a very wondrous mind so it's difficult. I was just wondering if they're is any way someone else found very helpful with either of these? Or maybe a chant or spell I could try out?
Any advice would be so appreciated! Thank you so much!!
