Astral Protection for Beginners - How to Call for Protection, Stay Calm and in Control

Many beginners in the astral plane can face situations that will frighten them. Fear is a normal reaction when one is faced with unknown, especially if this unknown has not very pleasure appearance. Unpleasant situations in the astral plane more often happen to those who experience astral projection spontaneously (in the dreams) and without control. An experienced projector will always know how to deal with weird situations. Generally, it rarely happens, but is always good to know how to protect yourself. We will recommend you here few measures that will eliminate all possible unwanted events, encounters with negative entities, etc.
Be positive and loving
If you enter the astral dimension with unconditional love in your heart -- nothing can harm you. You are a child of love, your intentions are positive and noble, and you will attract only positivity during your astral traveling. Loving vibrations you are emanating are the best defense against any possible negativity. Your teacher guide is already waiting for you, and when he is sure about your positive intention, he will come to assist you, lead you, and teach you. Show all your respect and learn carefully what he is telling you. Negative emotions produce negative power relations around you. The positivity attracts positivity. It is also connected with your subconscious background, so if you are spiritually more evolved -- which means overcoming the negative thoughts or even traumas -- you will meet only highly evolved beings and nobody can harm you. Some never experience troubles in the astral.
Learn
Learn as much as possible about the astral plane. Read books and experiences of other astral travelers. Find similarities with your own experiences. Keep your personal journal active and write down every situation you have faced during your projections. Analyze them and try to explain to yourself why they happened. With the time, you will know answers for any possible unwanted event. When you have answers, you have higher conscious about negative situations that puts you above them, so they will not repeat. Your subconscious should have real information, based on your cognitive insights.
Psychic hygiene
Clean your aura before and after every astral projection. You can use two methods. The first one is the Outside method: go outdoors, find a calm place, cast a simple circle and ground yourself from your root chakra with Mother Earth.
  • You should breathe in the following rhythm: inhaling 5 seconds, holding the breath 3 seconds, exhaling 5 seconds, holding 3 seconds.
  • Center yourself and feel your heartbeat.
  • Feel how your aura tingle crawls up your leg, swirling and getting stronger and stronger.
  • See how a white energy comes from Mother Earth.
  • Keep breathing, it will climb with every exhaling.
  • Feel how all your negativity goes into Mother Earth being cleansed by Her.
  • Then, see a golden beam from the sun touching you, cleansing all negativity from your aura.
  • Fell the cleaning and feel how your aura is charging, becoming stronger and energized.
  • Let the sunbeam go back - your aura is clean.
  • Inside method: you can do it anytime and anywhere when you have few minutes of time to be alone and not disturbed.
  • See white light everywhere around you.
  • Relax, breathe deeply and get into it.
  • Imagine and see big white hands come down and start cleaning your aura.
  • You should see them gently cleaning it from your head all the way down.
  • The hands will remove all dirt and negativity aside.
  • Finally, see how hands are disappearing, and feel your aura clean, strong and energized.
White and golden light
Every time you start preparation for astral projection, imagine white or golden light around you. It should be visualized as a protective bubble. You are inside and you are safe. The white and golden lights are manifestations of the divine love, and there is no power, no evil entity that can penetrate them. You are completely safe inside the bubble. Every time you face some unwanted encounter or event, just recall the light around you, refresh it. The divine light of love stands as shield against every evil intention or being.
Call for protection
Before start your projecting technique, concentrate and ask the powers of light (angels, archangels, demigods and other beings of love) to protect you during your astral traveling. Do it strongly in your heart, with pure intent. You can also call them for help every time when faced with non-pleasant situations. They will certainly come.
Stay calm and in control
As fear is the strongest enemy of your conscious, it is critically to overcome it every time you get yourself into a negative situation. No matter how much the sight or some being is frightening in its appearance, you should stay calm, not allowing the fear to block your thoughts and your mental ability. Remember: whatever happens, you are not in danger, because in the astral realm it is YOU WHO HAVE THE CONTROL! You are the commander. This is an immense power given to all astral travelers, and there is no being that can block your control if you do not allow it. You can do whatever you want with the power of your thoughts: you can leave the place, you can command the entity to leave, you can return back to your physical body or, if you want some adventure, you can even fight back. It is up to you. You have free will. You are in control.
