I’m the editor of Astral Projection Secrets. My job is to decide what gets published here and to hold it to one consistent standard: state plainly what is documented, what is widely reported, and what is belief, and never blur those three together to make an article more compelling than the evidence allows.
Astral projection sits in an awkward place. The experience itself is real, common and reasonably well studied. Most of what is written about it online is careless about which claims that actually supports. The aim here is to be the site that gives you the honest version, including the parts where the honest answer is that nobody knows.
If something on this site is wrong, unclear or overstated, I would rather hear about it than not.
I am not a scientist, a doctor, a therapist or a researcher, and nothing published here should be read as though I were. What I bring to the site is editorial rather than clinical: reading the primary sources, checking what they actually say, and writing in a way that keeps evidence and interpretation apart.
Where our articles cite research, those are real published papers you can look up, and they are cited precisely so that you can. Where a claim rests on tradition, teaching or personal report rather than evidence, the article says so in those words. Where a popular claim turns out to have no support at all, we say that too, even when it is a claim the audience for this subject would prefer were true.
Health-adjacent pages carry explicit guidance on when an experience warrants a doctor rather than a technique. Sleep paralysis, unexplained body vibration and disrupted sleep can all have medical causes, and no article here will encourage anyone to treat a medical symptom as a spiritual milestone. That is a line held firmly across the site.
Astral Projection Secrets exists because the useful information on this subject is stranded between two unhelpful extremes. On one side is material that treats every claim as established fact. On the other is material that dismisses the entire subject without engaging with what people actually experience.
Neither is much use to the person this site is written for: someone who has just had an experience they cannot explain and wants to know what it was, or someone who wants to try a technique and would like a realistic account of what it involves and whether it is safe.
This is a small independent publication, not an institution. It has no affiliation with any university, research body, teacher or training organisation, and it does not speak for one. Some pages link to books and courses that earn the site a commission; that arrangement is set out on our referral marketing disclosure page and does not determine what we recommend or how we assess it.
