Here is a simple exercise to try astral projection.

Sit comfortably by choosing a quiet environment. You may sit in a lotus position or on a chair with your back in an up-right position.

Close your eyes gently and take a few deep breaths. Softly imagine or vision that that you are sitting in a dark room and there is an opening above your head from where strong white light is coming into the room.

While still breathing deeply, imagine yourself floating upwards towards the hole above you. As you get closer to the opening you are able to move through it on to the other side.

Now feel, touch, understand what you see, hear and feel. Consciously choose to move further away from the hole to explore the world above. Try to understand what people are saying around you.

Try to understand their nonverbal language. OK, now remind yourself to go back through the hole down into the dark room . See your physical body sitting on the chair or in lotus position below you. Take sometime before you decide to go back into your physical body.

Once you are in your body, breath deeply and feel your breathing. Now open your eyes.

I have successfully done astral projection before. But let me tell you this. I will imbalance you and this will lead you away from your family and friends. However, all this effect is a natural cleansing process because your karma will be sped up and as a result you will know be able to distinguish between real friends from the unreal ones.

Another version of having this imbalance feeling is intepreted as the negative force is our to discourage you from this path.

Gurbani says:-

Parr parr gaddi lediye, parr bhariye saas,

parr parr berri paiye, parr gediye khath,

and one can keep reading, understanding all the scriptures in the world, but it all amounts to egotism without the One Omnipresent in one's mind.

My understanding about the 5 different layer of the human structure are as follows:-

Physical , Astral, Mental, Causal, and Spiritual.

In Sufism the names are different. In Sanskrit also different. But many of these names represent a similar pattern of layers presence in the human make-up.

For example, Astral body is also known as Ghost Body or Dream Body or Sookhsham Sharir.

The causal body can reach the levels of karmic records, The Akashic readings are done via the causal body. In gurbani it is called Karam Khand. The next level known as the mind - which can be sub-divided into main aspects. This sub-division is also known as Chautish Antehkaran in Sanskrit. Gurpreet has beautifully explained the four aspects of it.

Next level is known as the Causal plane which is the sub-conscious mind. This is the part of the human which stores all past regressions and causes one to act according to the script. But the subconsciou mind has its origin in the causal plane. Through samadhi which is deep meditation the subconscious mind is able to throw all its rubbish i.e. unwanted files into its place of origin. It also gets to re-charge its 'batteries' so to speak, so that all matters with regards of psyche are resolved.

Those who end up in psychiatric wards are often finding happiness out there in the world and fail to recognize that happiness in only found within their own selves.

Bhagat Namdev mentioned this place as Mansarover. Where one gets rid of all past karma by bathing in this sarover and emerges as a Hansla Hansa or Swan.
