Astral

Astral body

The astral body is a subtle body posited by many philosophers, intermediate between the intelligent soul and the mental body, composed of a subtle material. In many recensions the concept ultimately derives from the philosophy of Plato though the same or similar ideas have existed all over the world well before Plato's time: it is related to an astral plane, which consists of the planetary heavens of astrology. The term was adopted by nineteenth-century Theosophists and neo-Rosicrucians.

Astral projection

In esotericism, astral projection is an intentional out-of-body experience (OBE) in which a subtle body, known as the astral body or body of light where consciousness functions separately through from the physical body, travels throughout the astral plane.
