Astral projection (also called soul travel) is one of the most searched spiritual topics online, yet few know the real danger behind it. It’s often glamorized as a mystical way to “explore” the spirit realm, but here’s the raw truth: it’s illegal in the spirit realm, it violates territorial boundaries, and it exposes you to heavy demonic traffic.

Before you experiment with this, understand what you’re dealing with.

What Is Astral Projection?

Astral projection is when your soul leaves your body for a period of time and travels through spiritual realms. People claim to see themselves from above, enter strange “planes,” and even visit other locations. When their soul returns, they often “snap awake” with vivid memories.

But just because it happens doesn’t mean it’s from God.

The Bible is clear: “…witchcraft, hatred, discord, jealousy…those who practice such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.” (Galatians 5:20)

3 Types of Astral Projection

  1. Meditative: Often used by witches, New Agers, or occultists. They blank out their minds (pagan meditation) until their soul lifts out.
  2. Spontaneous: Happens randomly, often during sleep or trauma, but without God’s initiation.
  3. Unconscious: Linked to deep sleep states or sleep paralysis, where you feel like you’re leaving your body or can’t move.

The astral plane is full of disembodied spirits—human and demonic. You’re trespassing into a battlefield you have no authority over.

Sleep Paralysis and Astral Projection: Are They Connected?

Sleep paralysis is often dismissed as “just your brain misfiring.” But spiritually, it’s a demonic attempt to paralyze your body while your soul is vulnerable. Many describe a dark presence, pressure on their chest, and being unable to move or scream.

Soul Travel vs Spirit Travel (Key Distinction)

This is the most important line you’ll ever read on this subject:

  • Soul travel (astral projection) is powered by your own will and soulish energy, often fueled by demonic spirits. It’s a violation of territorial boundaries. You’re trespassing.
  • Spirit travel is initiated by the Holy Spirit. Your spirit navigates realms only when God empowers you, with angelic guidance and anointing.

The anointing is the very ability of God at work in a man. Without it, you’re a target in the spiritual realm.

Biblical examples of spirit travel (Ezekiel 8:1-3, Revelation 4:1-2, 2 Corinthians 12:1-4) show one pattern: they didn’t seek it. God initiated it.

Astral projection tries to counterfeit this by using soulish will and psychic energy. It’s witchcraft disguised as spirituality.

The Silver Cord: Why Astral Projection Is Deadly

Ecclesiastes 12:6 mentions the silver cord, the spiritual “lifeline” connecting your body, soul, and spirit. When it is cut, life ends.

When you step out of your body illegally through astral projection, you risk demonic attack and even death. Apostles like John Ramirez have warned witches: “Project into my house again, and your cord will be cut.”

This isn’t a game. Astral projection opens doors for demonic harassment, molestation, and even assassination.

Why Christians Should Never Astral Project

  1. It’s not led by the Holy Spirit.
  2. It operates outside God’s will and authority.
  3. It makes you a trespasser in hostile territories.

Former occultists testify that every time they tried to astral project against true Believers, they would hit a wall of fire. Why? Because the blood of Jesus and the Holy Spirit’s covering are impenetrable.

“When we tried to astral project into a Christian’s house to curse them, we couldn’t even cross the property line. God’s presence stopped us.” – John Ramirez

The Truth About Astral Projection

The spirit realm is real. Your spirit can navigate it, but only legally, through the power of the Holy Spirit, not through your will.

When God initiates it, He sends angels, provides protection, and shows you what He wants you to see. When you force it, you open yourself up to witchcraft and demonic deception.

Final Warning

Astral projection might sound fascinating, but it’s like breaking into a military base unarmed. You’re out of your jurisdiction, and there are territorial spirits that will attack.

Your safest posture is surrender. Instead of seeking soulish power, seek God’s presence. If He wants to take you up in the Spirit, He will. Until then, remember:

Soul travel without the Spirit is trespassing.
 Spirit travel with the Holy Spirit is worship.
