An Introduction To The Visual Body

Visual Body / Astral Body


Introduction


The visual body is another name for the astral body. The astral body is located at the fourth layer of the auric field and links us to the astral plain. When we sleep at night and experience dreams of flying and visiting distance place this is know as astral projection.


Within the wingmakers site and in the equinox books I use the term visual body a lot on the techniques. The reason why I use visual body is because a lot people have trouble with astral projection. So it is much easier to see one self in visual form.

Astral Projection – Bi-Location


Astral Projection is the ability of projecting the astral body also known as the fourth layer of the auric field out into the astral plain. When we astral project we experience sensations of flying and dreaming and visions of distant places this is known as astral projection. The astral plain is the plain of existence between both the three lower plains of the physical realm and the higher plains of the spiritual realms of our existence.


The first higher non-physical plane, one frequently hears about this in paranormal accounts. In the out-of-body and near death experience one is conscious on this plane. Right after one dies and before they reincarnate they are on this plane, and the first Guardian Angels are found here as well.


This is also called the emotional plane because the “matter” on this plane is what composes a feeling, desire, or emotion. Negative emotions and the realms of hell like “purgatory” exist on the lower sub planes, while positive on the upper. It is impossible for what we think of as “evil” to exist anywhere except from the mid astral on down, by definition. Astral (and higher) objects and bodies can not only go through physical matter in the same space without adversely affecting either side, but they can go through each other without much trouble, avoiding the collision aspect that happens with physical matter, although one can still interact much like on the physical.


In this section we are going to study astral projection through a couple of simple visual techniques prepare for this first technique you will need to lay down and get comfortable and relax.


Visual Technique


Step One

Now I want you to focus on the breath and follow the raise and fall of the chest while you breathe in and out do this till the mind is silent and you are at a point of deep relaxation.


Step Two

Now I what you to visualize your physical body and see your head elongating so that you are taller by three inches and hold it there.


Step Three

Then bring your attention down to your feet and elongate your body by three inches and hold it there for a moment and relax and feel at one with all things living and breath.


Step four

Now I want you to visualize that your legs are dropping down into the earth and relax and in your own time drop your arms down into the earth. Feel at one with the earth and go deeper and breath.


Step Five

Then bring your attention to your arms and legs and raise your arms and legs so that they are parallel with your body and as you do so see this elongated image of your body rising up above you about six inches and hold it there for a moment. You may feel a pulling sensation near the second chakra as you do this don’t worry if you do this is natural with astral project as there is a cord of energy between both the physical body and your astral body.


Step Six

Then in your own time drop this elongated body back into your body and return your head and feet to their natural position and make sure that are back to normal before you open your eyes.

Astral Projection

Bi location


In the image Above I have caught what is call the visual body or Astral Body on flim this is also known as Bi-Location.


The practice of stepping out can be done either in meditation or at any time. Stepping out is a visualization technique in which you can see yourself reversed inside your body, looking backwards. Imagine your etheric self turning around and looking at a point behind you. If it helps visualize that your visual body and see it turning around within your physical body.


You can really help this technique along if from time to time you just imagine what is behind you. It is like looking backwards with your mind not your eyes sight. It helps to open your reality to the feeling that your reality is not simply just in front of you but all around you.


Then in your own time imagine that your visual body is walking out and standing behind you.


Now with your right hand on your visual body reach out and touch a point behind you and notice the sensations with your body as you do this.


When you are ready turn your visual body around and walk your visual body back into your physical body and open your eyes


Practice this technique regularly and in no time you’ll be a natural at stepping out.

How Cognitive Training Enhances Learning

How Cognitive Training Unlocks Your Learning Potential


By


shutterstock_108895151-289x300 You know your child is smart and has great potential but they consistently struggle in school or following through on tasks. Both you and your child are frustrated by their persistent learning challenges. The smart you know is there seems to be locked-up in certain academic or social situations. Their smart shines brilliantly at times but too often it seems to be trapped deep inside.



Unlock their smartness by strengthening their cognitive skills, which are the underlying building blocks for learning. Think of a tree with bright red apples on it. Underneath the ground where you can not see needs to be a healthy root system that is gathering nutrients to produce good fruit on the tree. Thinking skills are like the roots of the apple tree. They are hidden in your brain but must be strong and healthy to produce good grades in school and to help you reach your learning potential.


Tutoring centers focus on learning techniques and skills or teaching material again that was not absorbed the first time. A better way is to identify the weak cognitive skills that hinder the ability to absorb or retrieve information; and strengthen them through rigorous training. The results are remarkable.


axon-potentional-partnership Studies reveal 80% of learning difficulties among U.S. students and adults are the result of weak thinking skills. Attention, processing speed, working memory, logic and reasoning and auditory processing are a few of the cognitive skills underlying the learning process. Each of these skills can be targeted and strengthened. Rarely are learning difficulties the result of poor or inadequate instruction or even a lack of motivation. We often hear parents say, “My child works so hard but they just can’t get it.” Their smart may be trapped by under-developed cognitive skills


Too often learning difficulties are treated by accommodation (lowering expectations) or compensation (focusing only on strengths). Thinking skill weaknesses need to be identified and overcome. Instead of accommodation or compensation, work hard to overcome weaknesses. With cognitive skills training gains are second to none and carry over into social as well as academic settings. Self-confidence increases and the gains last!


Receptor Once specific cognitive skill weaknesses are identified through standardized testing, an individualized plan to overcome the weaknesses needs to be crafted. A trainer then works one-on-one with the student to overcome the deficient skills. A skilled musician is trained through guided instruction, meaningful practice, feedback and being challenged to perform increasingly difficult pieces of music. It takes time and hard work to develop musical skills. Deficient cognitive skills are trained much the same way. One-on-one cognitive skills training uses guided instruction, immediate feedback and correction, meaningful targeted practice and increasingly challenging, skill specific tasks. Training develops skilled musicians and skilled learners.


research Cognitive skills training gets results! Students with cognitive skills two or more years below age level average gains of 3.6 years in at least one of the weak areas. And the gains last! Students retested after one year retained 98% of the gains made during training.” For more information see web site below.
