The Astral Plane

According to occult, Theosophical, and New Age teachings, the astral plane can be visited consciously with the astral body through means of meditation and mantra, lucid dreaming, or other forms of training and development. Some people would visit the astral plane by accident, simply by getting out of bed while the physical body remains sleeping. Unconsciously, the astral plane is the location of the human consciousness while the vital body repairs damaged tissue and processes the wastes of the physical body. Most popularly it is a destination achievable by skilled psychics and telepaths; where they use this realm as a means of contact and communication.
