What are the astral planes? Are they dangerous? Is leaving one’s body a risky exercise…….or is the idea that astral projection can harm you a silly one? And why do so many astral projection guides and gurus talk about protection, and the various ways one must shield themselves from negative energies (or entities) while exploring the astral realms?
The truth is….in my experience, MOST of this stuff is simple nonsense, and for the most part, written by folks who have some sort of strategy to SELL you, rather than real information to tell you. I have never seen, nor do I know anyone who has experienced some sort of GENUINE astral danger…..as regardless of where astral projection takes us (be it an "inner" experience or one that truly allows your spirit to soar) there is NO genuine danger, in my view, of dying…..or not coming back, or being attacked while out of your body at all! (believe me, you’ve got more to worry about with the body you are leaving behind, than what you’ll experience in the astral planes..
Here is an article from helium.com that demonstrates what I believe to be "bullshit" information about the astral projection experience, and why I tend to think that most of these authors are NOT genuine spiritual adventurers, but rather just making up rules, and laws of the universe as they go.

Being able to successfully project oneself into the astral planes and beyond can bring about life-changing experiences. Knowing that there are some dangers involved though, in moving one’s astral body and consciousness into the planes, and knowing how to protect yourself against them, can ensure pleasant experiences every time you project. If you have ever come back from a meditation or projection which left you feeling shaken and unsure, or having had strange visions or thoughts come to you, then you have most likely experienced what has been not-so-affectionately termed "Astral Nasties." While a simple Cone of Power is exceptionally strong protection for us while working on the physical plane, when we leave this plane we encounter a whole new world of beings to which our rules do not apply.
