There are four main types of exercises you can use when trying to
induce an OBE or (Outter Body Experience). They are:
* Relaxation
* Energy Balancing
* Mind Control
* Focus
In addition to these you can also use prayer at the beginning of the
practice. Remember this is just an exercise...you may want to
implement your own ways to help you along.
Begin by lying down on your bed with the door closed a pillow under
your knees and a comforter over you. Most authorities on astral travel
recommend that you find a place where you will be undisturbed. Take a
few moments to ground yourself *in* your body, to relax into yourself
at the moment at this particular place and time. Then visualize
yourself surrounded with white light, and as you focus in on this
light you become absorbed in the beauty of this energy and often have
some wondrous visions and feelings of peace.
* Relaxation
Then begin to focus on your feet, and in a typical relaxation
exercise, move through my body from toe to head stretching, clenching
and then relaxing each body part. Visualize energy swirling through
each part of your body releasing tension.
* Energy Balancing
Then cleanse, balance and charge your chakras.
* Mind Control
Then you can use a technique adapted by the author years ago
from the Silva Mind Control teachings to put your body to sleep. In
your mind say: "I'm going to count down from 3 to 1, visualizing each
number on a white orb suspended in the air above my head, and when I
reach the third and final "1" my body will be asleep and I will have
no awareness of physical sensations.
I will not perceive any physical discomfort, and my
consciousness will be focused on my astral body."
Then visualize a white orb suspended in the air above your head.
When you will be mentally well focused on the orb, visualize a number
"3" on the face of the orb. The numbers can be any color you choose.
The important thing is to create a pattern, for training your brain to
react the way you desire whenever you perform this sequence. This is
the heart of the power of ritual!
Visualize the 3 three times: three number "3's" on the orb. "My
body is completely relaxed, becoming numb. I am losing awareness of
physical sensation."
Then repeat the visualization with three number "2's." "My body
is asleep now. I feel no sensations, no discomfort. I will now
visualize the "1's." When I am finished, I will have no awareness of
physical sensations. My consciousness will be in my astral body."
Then visualize the "1's" three times. "My body is now completely
asleep. I have no awareness of physical sensations. My consciousness
is in my astral body."
The benefit of training your mind this way is that you can
greatly accelerate the process of transferring your awareness away
from the physical body. Each time you practice this, the programming
becomes a little bit stronger, after some time you will visualize the
numbers and have your body asleep in two or three minutes.
* Focus
Once you are in this state try to clear your mind by focusing on
your breath, or the tip of your tongue, or any one thing. The key is
to remain conscious while your body is asleep. Naturally, all sorts of
thoughts pull you from the focus, but you can return as soon as you
notice you've strayed to your concentration on one thing. Your OBE's
can often occur after a period of focus when your mind has drifted and has been on the verge of sleep. This is when you have awakened to find yourself either out of the body or when the "surges" have come on. You will often doze off when beginning practice, but take it up again when you are awake by focusing your attention and trying to remain conscious while your body sleeps.
