Whats people's favourite methods for this then?
NOTE: This thread is being used as a consolidation point for scattered postings on astral projection.
Strictly speaking, the term 'astral projection' denotes an out of body experience (OBE / OOBE) involving a literal 'projection' (travel; flight) of a person's spirit, soul, or equivalent ephemeral avatar to another place (broadly defined). In this sense 'astral projection' is a topic for Esoterica owing to its reliance on the concept of a spirit or soul.
However ... 'Astral projection' is frequently encountered as a synonym for remote viewing or OBE's / OOBE's as addressed in parapsychological research. This version addresses the 'elsewhere' aspects of the esoteric version without necessarily invoking or relying upon the notion of an ephemeral avatar (spirit; soul).
Insofar as the latter (parapsychological; 'psychic') version is the one most often encountered in Fortean discussions, this consolidation thread is being placed in Parapsychology.
