An Astral Projection (アストラルプロジェクション Asutoraru Purojekushon?) is a willful out-of-body experience, where one's consciousness separates from their physical body as an astral body (幽体 Yūtai?) and travels elsewhere.
In Toaru Majutsu no Index, astral projections are possible through applications of Magic.[1]

While the astral body is separate from the physical body, the latter is unable to defend itself and requires external protection.[1][2]
The symbols of the Tattva, used in certain tools for achieving astral projection.
Tattva cards are one tool used to achieve astral projections.[2] Robert William Felkin (or at least his reproduction) makes use of tattva-based mental immersion spiritual items, which Aleister Crowley guessed were meant to drag other people's minds into the bog, with his group working together to attack the enemy's defenseless physical body once the astral body had been removed.[3]
Similar to necromancy and doll-based curses, magical astral projection doesn't work in just a single direction, with a single spell having two processes within; one for which separates the mind from the body and another that returns it, with the potential to achieve the return process by rearranging the separation process.[4]
According to Annie Horniman when she interrupted the Lady of the Masquerade Ball's attempt to astral project to escape pain and cautioned her, astral projection is a form of mental manipulation used to surpass the limits of one's surface consciousness, with the risk that using it too often could cause one to be absorbed by their own subconscious and be unable to return.[5]
Background[]
During one talk with Mina Mathers in the past, on the subject of a lack of money to get through the month, Samuel Liddell MacGregor Mathers mentioned that he could separate himself from his physical bonds and go on an astral journey should things come to it.[1] During another incident, after being hit by her own recoiling curse in a failed assasination attempt against Mathers, the Lady of the Masquerade Ball intended to use astral projection to escape the pain but she was interrupted by Annie Horniman, who advised against it.[5]

Astral projections were referenced several times during the events involving the reproduced Golden Dawn,[3][1][2][7][8] with several members, including Annie Horniman and Mathers, using some methods of communication which appeared somewhat similar but were a bit more primitive, vibrating magic power at a set frequency in order to make contact.[7][8][9]
