Astral Travel

Astral travel, also known as astral projection, is an esoteric term for an intentional out-of-body experience (OBE). It's based on the idea that a person has a subtle body, called an astral body or body of light, that allows consciousness to operate independently from the physical body. The idea of astral travel is ancient, and has been practiced by shamans and New Agers around the world. It became more popular in the 19th and 20th centuries due to the theosophical movement, which taught that humans have seven bodies, including an astral body.
