Every few months or so, one of the channeling
sessions from the members of Ashtar Command
we post will have a reference to turning off the
switches when discussing things like getting out
of the body. What we are referencing is a method
of bringing the sensations of the body to a
minimum level to allow a mind that is then free to
focus on meditation or astral projection. It
sometimes frustrating when trying to do either
when the body has sensations happening that
distract from a calm mind. It's an old method and
we use it when doing our past life regressions to
send the person into a past life after putting the
subject into a light hypnotic state. We found that
using it for meditation brought about an isolation
of physical sensations to allow us to visit our
own past lives, help with the separation of the
astral body, and going to deeper states of
meditation. If there was any drawback to using the
method, it would be in slight disorientation when
returning to full state of awareness again. So
let's get started with turning off the physical
body.
What we will be doing is assigning a switch to
different parts of the body that, when switched
off, will also tell us to mentally cut off all
sensations to that part of the body. First, either
sitting in a chair with a straight back or laying
down, take ten deep breaths to reset the body. We
begin with the left foot and place an imaginary
switch on top of it that we will then turn off. At
the same time imagine all sensations to that foot
stop and everything up to the knee goes dead. We
next to the same thing to the left knee, and left
hip before moving on to do the same thing with the
right leg. We next follow up with a switch on the
left-hand that we turn off, left elbow and left
shoulder. Moving over to the right arm we shut off
the hand, elbow and shoulder there so that now
both legs and both arms are without sensation. Now
that might not match up with what is being felt so
what can be done is to return to whatever switches
still having sensation in them and turn them off
again. With the limbs now not feeling entirely
part of the body, we move on to the chakras to
complete the method.
Moving on to the root chakra, we turn off the
switch there and imagine that the spinning the
chakra is doing slows down to a crawl. The center
between your hips now lacks sensation as we slow
down the sacral chakra followed by the solar
plexus chakra. With the lower chakras out of the
way, the heart chakra now has its switch turned
off and it begins to slow down. What also slows
down any overwhelming emotions that might be
taking place. Then comes the throat chakra and it
shutting off shut off any arguments that might be
still on your mind. Now the chakra itself is not
shut down, just slowing it a bit to so isn't it a
distraction. The same goes for the third eye
chakra where it still active but not as much. If
you're familiar with the colors of the chakra, you
can also picture them as colored lotus flowers
that began to slow down when the switch is turned
off. That just leaves the crown chakra whose
switch is now switched off and that chakra begins
to slow to a crawl like the rest. From there you
can take ten more deep breaths or just move on to
whatever had been planned once the state of
relaxation had been reached.
We live in a hectic world and sometimes it's heavy
to step away from it and find some peace and
quiet. The method above is one way to make that
happen and tends to improve with repetition. Once
the last switch has been turned off or the last
breath taken, the physical body will feel almost
heavier with the lighter astral body now free to
take leave if it is imagined that way. You can
also ask your guides for their help in taking you
to a past life and instead of an astral travel
trip, you may instead journey inward to a life
once lived. Something harder to do but easier
after the completion of the method is achieving a
state where you focus on only one thing excluding
all outside thoughts. That is when real growth can
occur as it provides the opening to connect with
higher dimensional entities or even channel them.
Should that be a possibility, it might be handy to
have someone else available to ask questions. The
possibilities are endless and can be life-changing
in some situations. We hope you find it helpful in
your lives.
