Is Astral Travel an OBE?
There seems to be division among contemporary practitioners about what astral travel is. Is it similar to mental travel where the physical awareness remains in the body? Or is it more close to an out of body experience (etheric projection) where the physical awareness leaves the body entirely?

Mental Projection, concerned mainly with exploratory acts of skrying or the using of symbolic doors as an aid to understanding a particular part of the astral plane. This is 'projection-by-symbol'.
Astral Projection (proper) in which the astral body (or Second Body to use Robert Monroe's term) (5) is able to move a distance from the physical body and accurately report what it sees on the physical plane, facts that could not have otherwise have been ascertained by the apparently sleeping practitioner. There is little restriction on the distance the astral body can travel.
Etheric Projection, in which the physical body is reduced to a state resembling catalepsy (the breathing in fact becomes very shallow and may cease altogether for some time). Meanwhile, more of the basic 'etheric' substance (6) is extruded from the body and accompanies the consciousness a limited distance from the body.
