Astral Travel
One of the hallmarks of magick for our time is the increasing ability of psychic energy and personal power to WORK TOGETHER inside of us. This is especially true when we recognize and utilize our personal powers on a regular basis. (At the Third Degree, outside of small notions daily, Work in some fashion occurs 2 to 3 days per month on average. Yes, thoughts, particularly those found in meditative or gnostic states count.)
These things — ENERGIES —- exist for all of us, we simply have to remember how to see, or to see it at all. Yes, it is right in front of us but many of us have inhibited ourselves and clouded our eyes with mundane tasks and things in the Life of Matter. An Experience to be had, but not one that always provides for psychic, or energetic, opportunity regularly. One of the beautiful aspects we are afforded as we progress in our daily practices of Medicine and Magick, is travel on the Astral Plane. Some of you have already been introduced to this as a Golanv Guide, or came to Three Circles Medicine already possessing the Knowledge.
Of course, it is not our ‘usual’ place of existence as we are Beings of Matter, or said in another way, Spirit having the Experience of Matter, it is still … ALL …. energy. Remember, e=mc²? That’s one of the many equations for “energy in Matter”. For that reason alone, care must be taken when first starting out, or beginning again after a long hiatus or traumatic event. Balance your energy. Remember Protections. You cannot ‘unring that bell’ once the other places have felt your energy. Just as others can spill their energy on us, we can onto them. Just as we can have collateral spills to family when we Work, so can they if they have a mishap in the Mundane. This occurs in both Matter AND Spirit as we are WHOLE BEINGS. We can leave our Spirit Self “open for business”, or “leave a light on” and not even realize it until it effects our Mundane life. So, do it in a way you can justify to your Higher Self, do it with the Intent to Protect ALL OF YOU.
A word of caution, be sure you have mapped your reality well.
If you did not do so well with that exercise in Lesson GS2, the “Reality Mapping on Steroids”…. you may want to look at your notes.
ASTRAL TRAVEL
By definition, ‘astral travel’ is a super-natural phenomenon in which a person’s astral body, or energetic body, is said to separate from the physical body and travel to - or in a - different plane of existence. It is done with strong Thought, Lucid Dreaming, and having excellent control of one’s own mind. It is a projection of Consciousness into a plane where we do not reside by our ‘senses of Matter’.
Read that again.
There is a reason so few have completed Yona Circle. This is one.
Have you been working intently with Self to this point? By the Third Degree, not much should technically “shake you from your Tree”. You have sought help through therapy for Shadow Work if needed, you have put Ego in check and are not guided by that voice with regularity AT ALL.
It’s difficult, but worth it.
If you have done all of this and are ready to Journey deeper into What Is with energy….
…the Fire hose of Knowledge is ON! Sip carefully.
Key – CONSCIOUSNESS.
A Key to learn and keep in mind is Awareness. Awake. Conscious. This act is not to be confused with Lucid Dreaming. Aware that one is “dreaming” is not the same as one that is “traveling”. They feel completely different. Hence, why we do body checks in meditation.
Did we mention this gets deeper?
Regardless, one may lead to another but they are NOT the same. Most times, the Practitioner is awake for Astral Travel or in an altered state, such as that with ayahuasca.
Astral travel is a very natural process which is easily remembered with practice. TRUST what you see, that you actually saw it. The more you Trust Self, the more you will begin to see. Fear. Doubt. As they say, “fear is the mind killer”.
That is no joke. Very powerful humans are frozen by these concepts.
Are you?
Regular and daily practice proves to continue to have the most ‘positive results’. As a point of reference, unconsciously traveling in this way voluntarily is sometimes refereed to as ‘out of body Experience’, or OBE. Consciously and voluntarily, astral travel can become a very powerful energetic tool when under the control of your mind. Are you there? Are you able to control meditations, visualizations, or other tools we utilize with the mind? Remember, astral travel has always been with our species. Or, if not its “body” then its mind, or energy.
The ability to execute the power needed for travel, not so much. Humans have forgotten so much. We have lacked the ability to maintain good stewards and keepers of this Knowledge to continue to share for thousands of years now for some time. We are wise to relearn if we are all to became adept travelers again. Some of us have also forgotten how important Protection is in all of what we do. Remember too, Energy — Magick or Medicine — has both Additive and Subtractive abilities and traveling in the astral does not lower your risk. Bottom line, to be made to involuntarily travel in the astral is another possible outcome to consider if this type of energy work interests you.
PROTECT.
You do not want to “fffck around and find out” as the Gen Xers say. You don’t want to come to and find your space disheveled or your housemate gone because “something” you brought back scared them… or you.
Just don’t. Protect yourself. It is smart to do.
No matter how you spin it, many Practitioners feel it is time to bring this kind of travel back. So, begin if you have not, developing your conceptualization of your ‘astral body’ if you have not already Experienced it in a meditation or dream. How you see yourself in Spirit at various times is very important.
What do you look like in your Mind’s Eye?
You can be anything or anyone.
Who are you?
Do you carry the visage of a thousand years? Do you appear as one from another race of humans? Not human?
What comes to your Minds Eye?
Does the person you are now come to you instantly? Does a stranger? (It may not always be a stranger!) Does an Animal Ally appear? What sights appear to you are typically the ones that have something to teach you FIRST, or contain a memory of things learned.
Explore that. Protect!
ASTRAL PROJECTION Q & A
CAN I GET “LOST”?
No. As soon as you recall your energetic body, wherever you left it, you are pulled directly back to it. Why? Because we are Beings of Spirit Experiencing Matter, not the other way around.
The way we perceive Beings of Matter Experiencing Spirit are typically when we find those who have once lived “stuck” inbetween this place and the next. This is why it greatly help to become a Conscious Incarnate. If you want to believe you just go “nowhere”, you will go “nowhere”. And there you will stay for as long as your Spirit Self deems it necessary. If you believe you go to Skyrim when you transition, then you will go to Skyrim for that pre-decided duration.
If you believe you will cross and help other’s cross, you will.
YOU DECIDE EVERYTHING YOUR ENERGY DOES.
Nothing like these Experiences are “mandated”. Remember, “no two Paths are the same.”
HOW CAN I MOVE INTO ASTRAL TRAVEL WHEN X, Y, OR Z STOP ME AND PULL ME BACK?
Sometimes this is only you. Only you …and Unhealthy Fear. You will never move into this ability if you keep Unhealthy Fear on board your Being’s Awareness system. This Unhealthy Fear can stem from unresolved Familial or Communal Shadow to unresolved Soul Work. Most Practitioners will divine on this for guidance.
I hear a loud noise that startles me, scares me, and I am pulled immediately back to my body.
Yes. Why can you not push past the “scary sound”?
This sound is one that is reported by many beginning travelers, especially in the Western Hemisphere. For obvious reasons, a “demonic growl” is heard, a “jet engine” roars, even other “vibrational” things such as a refrigerator in another room, or a selenite wand too close have been reported to “stop” travelers. Once they address what the sound is emanating from, and Spirit usually knows and can tell you through divination, they alleviate the interruption. For some it does take some work to get past if it is related to unhealed Shadow Work.
It is Wise to embrace the Fear, the sound, whatever it is… because as most understand it, it is a signifier for you that you are about to breech the space between the planes. Like childbirth, it isn’t always easy.
Gauge the peak of these vibrations if you have them. This is how you know you are going to “exit” this reality. It is what it is. You can work and possibly change this method… but maybe your Spirit knows why.
Be aware. The sounds sometimes preempt the light change for you to make your turn, or pass, through the intersection!
WHY DO I HAVE BLURRY VISION DURING/AFTER ASTRAL PROJECTION?
DURING: Command clarity. You are in control of your Spirit. You can command the energy around it if it is in a state of unrest. Try it!
AFTER: Put distance between your Body of Matter and Body of Spirit. Do something mundane when you return. Energy is a little different here and does not “command” so well. The best way we have learned to better our standing is to do something like laundry, make a meal, etc. Something mundane and mind occupying usually helps.
WHEN I TRY TO ASTRAL PROJECT, NOTHING HAPPENS OR I FALL ASLEEP TRYING. Why?
Easiest to do first, try a different method. You are clearly in need of sleep, and maybe something else. Try a different Exit. There are many shoes to try! 😉
Maybe you are supposed to Master Lucid Dreaming first. In time, you can learn to transmute the Lucid Dream into travel. Have you tried? Do you remember what your Learning Style was that we tested for in Wahya Circle? Are you trying something that works in line with those?
Also consider if you have left something “undone” in Shadow or Ego Work.
OTHER TIPS FOR TRYING TO PROJECT WHEN BEGINNING
Don’t practice in bed! This is ESPECIALLY important if all you do is fall asleep attempting to do this Work.
Practice alone! Sometimes its hard when someone is next to you clicking away on their phone, or other disturbing activities.
Practice during the day if you ‘fall asleep’ regularly at night.
Try the “wake back to bed method” if you fall asleep as well. (Afternoon naps are good!)
Switch head and foot position.
Bottom line, “like attracts like”. If you are not vibrating good before you travel, you are not going to attract good vibrations when you do.
PROTECT.
Once you have addressed all of the aspects of Self you can, protect against the unseen. You can command it “show your true Self” if you Work that way. BUT… do not be surprised by what you see! You asked for it! 😉
KEEP AN OPEN MIND.

Scarcity of Water - A Leadership Letter - First Work
In Wahya Circle, we learned of Element Water and its Elemental representation.
For Golanv Circle, we learned how to fully integrate the power of Water by learning about its Experience and Correspondences.
With Yona Circle, we are going to begin experimenting with our Leadership Voice, a powerful tool in Magick and Medicine as well as a strong skill to possess when becoming a good stewards of Mother Earth, our home, by studying the Experience of Element Water on our plane.
A PRACTITIONER’S RESEARCH PROJECT - LEADERSHIP LETTER
The words of a powerful Practitioner can be Crafted into a Spell of Abundance, a Rite of Autumn, or they can be the sword of the energies they work with to make their Medicine and Magick. This is one of those times. Water, whom we would all die without, is asking you to help preserve it for all that is yet to come.
For some — a backstory, or in case you missed this in Golanv Circle, the video that was shared when beginning the Elemental Rights Road is below.
(Please notify TCMed if you are unable to view the free video in your country. There are other sites.)
After viewing the video, PLEASE follow the instructions below.
SOME THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND
When writing to a business entity such as one that would monitor water, we are best served to recall basic communication rules for most:
Keep your letter to the point. You need to give enough detail for the one receiving your letter to be able to investigate the concern, grievance, or complaint properly.
Keep to the facts. Know your resources, verify them before you send them to someone else.
Never use abusive or offensive language. You would not want it, why give it? Call upon Ancestors and Animal Guides to assist you with this endeavor.
Explain how you feel about what you are writing, but do not use emotive language. Use “thinking” words, not “feeling” words.
EXAMPLES: Believe versus feel. Understand versus hate.

AFFECTED AREAS EXAMPLES
ATLANTA, GEORGIA
About half of the state's residents live in the rapidly growing Atlanta area. The city has a small surface water supply relative to its size. As a result of this supply and demand imbalance, Atlanta is disproportionately affected by water shortages—a condition likely to worsen as the city continues to grow.
LANCASTER, ENGLAND
Research shows Lancaster is continuing to see the worst water shortages in the UK as its water stress levels are predicted to increase by over 80% by 2040.
