The Monroe Method Astral Projection

I thought I would post one method I have personally tried and had success with and that many I know that I have told of this said its amazing.

The Monroe Technique

Step One:
Relax the body. While Monroe offers not method for this (the one I find works the best is simple muscle relaxation exercise put together with deep breathing. I have had ones say up to 100 times is needed for some.) Muscle exercises can be shoulder rolls, arm and leg twist, ankle and wrist rolls ect.

Step Two:

Enter the state bordering sleep. This is known as the hypnotic state of being. Once again Monroe does not offer a method for this. One way is to lay in bed holding your forearm up while keeping your upper arm on the bed. The other method (I like this better many laying in bed fall a sleep) Sit on the floor and focus on an object. When other images or lights start to enter your mind then your entering the hypnotic state. Passively watch the images. This will also help you maintain this state of near-sleep.
(too it takes patients and practice) This is condition A

Step Three:

Deepen this state. Begin to clear you mind. Observe your field of vision through your closed eyelids at the blackness in front of you. After a while you might start to notice light patterns. When they cease, one has entered Condition B. From here you must enter an even deeper state of relaxation which is Condition C-- a state of such relaxation that you lose all awareness of the body and sensory stimulations. You are almost in a void in which your only source of stimulation will be your own thoughts.

The ideal state for leaving your body is Condition D the best time to find this stage is right when you wake in the morning or right after a nap. Its the deepest level that you go to before travel begins. Before the vibrations start.

Step Four:

Enter the state of vibration. This is the most important part of this technique, and also the most vague. Many projectors have noticed these vibrations at the onset of projection. What you feel might be a mild tingling, or an electrical current type feeling going through your body. Some say this is that Astral Body trying to leave the Physical Body.

For entering into the vibrational state Monroe offers the following directions:

1) Remove all jewelry, or other items that might be touching your skin.

2) Darken the room so that no light can be seen though your eyelids, but do not cover your eyes with a mask.

3) Lie down with your body on a North- South axis, with your head towards magnetic North. ( again in bed many fall a sleep more likely to stay awake on the hard floor.)

4) Loosen all clothing, but keep covered so that you are slightly warmer than what would be normally comfortable ( your body temperature goes down in this vibration state)

5) Be sure you are in a location where, there will be no noise to distract or disturb you.

6) Enter the state of relaxation.

7) Give yourself mental suggestions that you will remember all that occurs during the upcoming session. Repeat this 5 times so it sticks well.

8) As your breathe, concentrate on the void in front of you.

9) Select a point a foot away from your forehead, then change your mental reference to 6 feet .

10) Turn the point 90 degrees upward by drawing an imaginary line parellel to your body axis up above your head. Focus there and reach out for the vibrations at that point and bring them back into your body.

Even if you do not know what these vibrations are, you will know when you have achieved contact with them.

Step 5:

Learning to control the vibrational state. Practice them by controlling them by mentally pushing them into your head, down to your toes, moving them and surging them through your whole body. This is also know as the wave effect they move through the body like waves going in and out. Once you have a handle on this then your ready to leave the body and travel.

Step 6:

Begin with a partial separation. Keep your mind firmly focused on the idea of leaving your body. Do not let your thoughts wonder doing so might cause you to loose control.
Now having entered the vibrational state, begin to explore the OBE by releasing only a hand or foot of the "second" body. Do this til you come to contact a familiar object, such as a wall. Then push through that object. Then return that limb by bringing it back into the physical one. Start out slowly patients and practice.

Step 7:

Dissociate from the physical body. One method is to simple lift your body, think of it getting lighter and lighter entering the vibrational state. Think about how nice is would be to fly upward and free from the physical body.

The other method is "Rotation Method" or "Roll Out" . When you have achieved the vibrational state, try rolling over as you would do in bed. Do not attempt to roll over physically.

This one is more complex and I find it works well for one's that have real trouble letting go of the physical.
