How Celibacy Causes Astral Projection

Last Updated on January 27, 2026 by The Unbounded Thinker

I have always been fascinated by astral projection and I have read several books because I wanted to discover the secret technique that would finally allow me to leave my body. Every book promised results if followed correctly, yet no matter how disciplined or hopeful I was, I never left my body.

With time, frustration replaced curiosity. After repeated failure, I slowly abandoned the practice altogether, convincing myself that astral projection was either exaggerated or simply not meant for me. I stopped trying and I gave up. Then something unexpected happened.

After practicing strict celibacy for four hundred days, I experienced astral projection without any intention or effort. It was not something I was chasing anymore, which made the experience even more shocking. That night, I entered a state of sleep paralysis. A deep buzzing vibration filled my awareness, growing louder and more intense. Suddenly, I felt a powerful force pulling me out of my body, and I found myself floating beside my home, fully aware and conscious, yet clearly outside my physical form.

This experience compelled me to search for answers once again. I returned to books, hoping to understand what had happened to me. Yet, despite all my efforts, I found no explanation that truly satisfied me. The pieces never quite fit together. Ironically, clarity only emerged when I stopped searching altogether.

I realized that celibacy had weakened my attachment to the physical body. The body had slowly lost its dominance over the soul. The cravings that once anchored consciousness to the flesh had lost their power because they were no longer being fed through sexual activity. As these cravings diminished, the body’s grip on the soul loosened. This loosening is what allows astral projection to occur effortlessly.

The soul is no longer held tightly by the body. Therefore, when the right conditions arise—such as sleep paralysis—the soul detaches naturally. Astral projection does not occur because one forces it to happen, but because celibacy gradually breaks the chains that bind the soul to the prison of flesh.

When a person is obsessed with sexual activity, a large portion of life-force energy is continually directed into the body. Desire fuels arousal, arousal demands energy, and the body becomes the primary recipient of that energy. Over time, the body grows dominant while the soul weakens

Strict celibacy prevents this. By avoiding sexual activity, the constant drain of life-force energy into the body is reduced. This energy then accumulates and becomes available to the soul. As a result, the soul grows stronger and gradually reclaims its rightful authority.

As the soul is nourished, it regains its true power. The body can no longer imprison it completely. This makes it easier for the soul to leave the body during sleep, when the body is dormant. During sleep, the body’s defenses are lowered: breathing slows, heart rate drops, and temperature decreases. The prison walls of flesh momentarily weaken. For a soul nourished through celibacy, this moment becomes the perfect opportunity to break free from the body.

Most people sleep every night, yet their soul remains imprisoned because it lacks the strength to detach from the prison of flesh. But for those who accumulate life-force energy through celibacy, the soul becomes powerful enough to take advantage of the body’s temporary weakness and slip out effortlessly.

The more the soul is nourished, the easier it becomes for it to leave the body. Instead of being dragged downward into flesh, it gathers the energy it requires to ascend into higher planes of existence. Celibacy, therefore, opens the doorway to nightly liberation, transforming astral projection from a rare event into a recurring phenomenon.
