What is Balloon?
This meditation uses Visualisation to help you trigger the Astral projection reflex. The Astral projection reflex is the name for a process whereby your body allows a copy of your consciousness to safely and consciously leave your body temporarily. For more information on this theory and Astral projection – please see /astral-projection. Balloon is used to concentrate on expanding and contracting your point of awareness.
Please see below for the BAL steps
Balloon Meditation
- Find a comfortable position. With eyes closed, clear your mind and focus on your breathing. Don’t change it, just observe.
- Quiet your mind. If distracting thoughts enter your mind, gently send them away.
- Now, notice the leading edge of your breath as it enters and exits through your mouth or nose.
- Next, move your awareness to your lungs.
- Take a deep breath in and hold your breath for a few seconds with your lungs full. Then breath out, relax and concentrate on your lungs slowly lowering down.
- Focus on the leading edge of your breath coming in your mouth or nose and going down your throat and into your lungs, filling your lungs then being pushed out back up and out your body.
- Now move your awareness to your stomach. Take a deep breath in and hold your breath for a few seconds with your stomach full. Then breath out, relax and concentrate on your stomach slowly lowering down.
- Focus on the leading edge of your breath coming in your mouth or nose and going down your throat, down into your stomach. Filling your stomach, then being pushed out back up and out your body.
- This time on the in-breath If inside, imagine what ceilings or walls look like close up as you fill your environment. If outside, sky, clouds or whatever else is in your environment.
- Breathe in, feel your whole body expanding. Imagine your whole body expanding like your lungs and stomach do. Imagine that same feeling making your whole body expand to the edges of your environment. Completely filling it.
- On the out-breath feel, your whole body shrinks back down to normal size.
- Deep breathes in and out, each time feeling your body expanding to the edges of your environment and then shrinking back down to normal size.
- Find a steady rhythm. Breath in, expand your body, fill your environment.
- Breath out shrinking back down to normal size.
- You are growing and shrinking as you breath in and out.
- You feel safe, loose and very relaxed.
- Let thoughts of your body fade and just imagine your consciousness, your awareness is growing and then shrinking in your environment.
- Back and forth, back and forth.
- Your point of awareness changes from current position to the far confines of your environment. Up close to ceilings, walls or sky, clouds.
- Back and forth, back and forth.
- Form a steady rhythm, gently bouncing your awareness from your current position out to the edges of your environment.
- Breath in, expand and pause for a few moments at the edge of your environment. Imagine, visualise what the ceiling, walls or sky and clouds look like close up and then breathe out, shrink back down to your current point of awareness.
- Expanding to the size of a giant and back again.
- Continue imagining what objects look like close up as you fill your environment. Then shrink back down to normal size.
- Now move your awareness away from your body. Just concentrate on how the environment looks as you expand and shrink.
- Focus on the ceiling, walls, clouds or sky. Far away then close up.
- Back and forth. Just your awareness, just the environment. Back and forth from close to an object and away again.
- Back and forth, steady rhythm.
- Just focus on your awareness, back and forth. Close up, pause, away, pause, close up, pause, away.
- Now stop expanding to the edges of your environment and just focus within your head, behind your closed eyes.
- You are relaxed, calm and safe. Focus on the blackness, notice shapes, patterns or just focus on the blackness.
- Next, Imagine yourself shrinking down in your environment. From normal size down to the size of an atom.
- On the In-breath imagine yourself shrinking down to the size of an atom. Imagine what your environment would look like as you shrink down to the size of an atom.
- On the out-breath imagine yourself expanding from the size of an atom, back to your normal size.
- Breath in and shrink down, hold for a few moments. Imagine yourself looking around your environment. Everything is hundreds of times bigger and then breathe out and expand back to normal size.
- Shrink and expand.
- Back and forth, back and forth.
- Form a steady rhythm, breath in and shrink, hold for a few moments, imagine how the environment now looks and then breath out and return to normal size.
- Pause for a few moments, imaging what objects look like at normal size, before again breathing in and shrinking down, pausing and imagining the objects hundreds of times bigger.
- Back and forth, back and forth.
- Form a steady rhythm, shrinking, pausing, growing and pausing,
- Using your breathing as your guide. Breath in, shrink, hold, breathe out, expand, hold.
- Now, bring your awareness back behind your closed eyes and focus on the blackness. Notice shapes, patterns or just focus on the blackness.
- This time you are going to breath in and completely fill your environment and breath out and shrink down to the size of an atom.
- Let thoughts of your body fade just focusing on the sensation of your consciousness, your awareness shrinking and expanding.
- On the in-breath expand yourself to fill your environment. Imagine textures of objects close up, pause and then breathe out, shrinking down to the size of an atom, pausing, imagining the environment growing as you shrink down to the size of an atom.
- Let thoughts of your body fade. Concentrate your awareness outside your body. Just focus on how the environment changes as you expand to fill the environment and then shrink down to the size of an atom.
- How objects look fully expanded and then when you shrink down.
- Find a steady rhythm. Breath in and out.
- Breath in, expand, pause, imagine, breath out shrink, pause, imagine.
- Continue this rhythm.
- Breath in, expand, pause, imagine, breath out shrink, pause, imagine
- Expand to fill the environment, pause, then breath out shrinking down to the size of an atom, pause, imagine.
- Focus outside your body on the look of your environment as you expand and shrink.
- Now, bring your attention back inside your body. Back behind your closed eyes. Notice any patterns or just stare into the blackness behind your closed eyes.
