astral planes
Otherworldly existence levels
Astral planes are non-physical realms of existence in occult and esoteric traditions, believed to be accessible through dreams, meditation, or out-of-body experiences.
The astral plane is typically conceived as a dimension where the soul or consciousness can travel independently of the physical body: She claimed to visit the astral plane during deep meditation.
The concept appears in Theosophy, New Age spirituality, and various mystical traditions, often described as containing multiple levels or planes of increasing spiritual refinement.
