How to Astral Project as a Beginner Witch

In this episode, I give you the exact formula for lucid dreaming and the basics of astral projection. We discuss the ins and outs of dream journeys, interacting with deities and ancestors, and safety protocols for astral travel. We also explore anchors to the physical world, including the Ojibwe dream catchers and how to ground after your dream journey. FAQsHow do you trigger a lucid dream? Mild indigestion, a designated day to sleep in, light physical activity (not naked time), and a cooling blanket are all ways to help initiate lucid dreaming. What is the belt method? The belt method is when you wear something to anchor you to the physical world, such as tying a ribbon around your waist before you fall asleep. For more details, listen to the full episode.  What are Akashic records? The Akashic records are the documents that verify your past lives. They can be accessed via your subconscious, but you may not always remember them. 0:00 – Intro & Personal Update: Aunt M opens the episode and shares a personal update.00:36 – Recap of Dream Magic Basics: A quick refresher on herbs, crystals, and intention-setting from the last episode.01:40 – The Formula for Lucid Dreaming: M explains her personal lucid dreaming method, including mild indigestion and exercise between sleep cycles.05:43 – Boundaries in the Dream World: Why consent matters in dreams and the importance of knowing you can say “no” to entities or even relatives.06:33 – The Feeling of Lucid Dreaming: Describing the strange clarity and sense of “newness” that comes with lucid dreams.07:13 – Setting Ground Rules: Creating personal boundaries around who or what you allow yourself to interact with while dreaming.08:39 – Using Symbols for Reality Checks: How unusual actions, like smoking indoors, can help you realize you’re dreaming.10:32 – Chronic Nightmares & Recurring Dreams: Exploring why certain dreams repeat, plus M shares a vivid recurring dream from her own life.13:03 – Dream Catchers: Discussing the Ojibwe origins of dream catchers and why it’s important to buy them authentically from Indigenous creators.15:42 – Advanced Dream Work: Asking to dream with deities or spirit guides and exploring places beyond the physical world.19:43 – Akashic Records & Past Lives: A brief conversation about universal records, past lives, and the emotional feeling tied to those memories.21:09 – The Deep Sense of Peace: M talks about her favorite part of dream magic and her struggle to consistently reach that level of peace.23:35 – Introduction to Astral Projection: Essential warnings and cautions before attempting astral projection.23:49 – Safety & Precautions: Why astral projection should be avoided during traumatic periods, plus protective tools like amethyst, sleep jars, and belts.27:36 – Achieving Astral Projection: A step-by-step explanation of separating from the physical body and observing it.29:02 – Floating & Exploration: How to slowly move beyond your room and begin exploring other realms or periods of time.30:31 – Returning to the Body: Listening for the “call” back to the physical world and how to safely reintegrate.31:16 – Post-Projection Care: Grounding techniques to ease the jittery feeling that can happen after a session.32:49 – Closing Thoughts: M invites listeners to share their experiences through email and join the subscriber community.If you want to take the next step in your spiritual journey, join the coven to gain access to subscriber-only episodes, tailored ritual advice, and a community with the most fabulous fellow beginner witches.
