I tried the Monroe Method last night for about two hours. I did not understand it at all but tried it anyways, which just wasted alot of time. THe first time I sat in the dark for a long time, visualizing things to keep my mind awake and trying to pull down these "vibrations" monroe talked about. I imagined "vibrations" many times, each time hoping somehting would happen. they never did, so then I gave up and just sat there for awhile. Then I felt this weird tingly-rocking feeling like I was being shaken, or moreover, vibrated. I was full of weird energy. I started freaking out because I didn’t think I would get this far. Then I calmed and they stopped. I remembered this meant I was close. But then my sister ran into my room because there was some youtube video she wanted me to see. I was REALLY mad. After I watched the video, I went back and tried again. I acheved the vibrating thing after a long time. I didn’t know what to do next, so I improvised. I imagined the energy slicing the wires that bound my body and soul together. I did this a few times before I got an eerie felling that I was inside of myself, and that I was stuck there. I figured that this was good and bad, because at that point I had no idea what the heck was going on. Then I heard my mom yell, "Hey! 30 Rock is on!" And then everything went back to normal, except that for a while afterwards I felt like I was inside of me, which was weird, but went away. Please give me any information you have. I really want to learn how to astral project or OBE, and I think I might be cut out for it, seeing as I’ve got this far without much help in two hours, one of which was utterly wasted. Pleeeease tell me something! And don’t use complicated language meant for people who do this sort of thing all the time. I’m new at this.
Thank you!!!!!!
I did specify that this question was for people who know anything about it. It’s impossible to say what is real and what is not unless you can actually back your theory up with evidence. I have evidence, though I cannot prove it because it was not recorded, that Astral Projection can be accomplished. But I do not need to prove anything because the only one I need to approve it to is myself. You, however, borneo, have presented no evidence to back up your claim. So I will stick to my own ideas unless you can prove yours.
I don’t care about the points but I’ll answer all your Q’s anyway.
1. An out of body experience is any experience where you perceive yourself to be out of your body. There are different types of out of body experiences. Astral projection is one type of them. Another type is etheric projection, there is also mental projection. Astral projection is when apart of your consciousness has been altered & is ‘tuned into’ the astral realms.
2. The best position for your physical body to be in while attempting astral projection is laying down in any comfortable position you like. Some say laying on your back is best (that is the way I do it), but really any way that is comfortable for you is good. Everyone is different.
3. Your head does not have to point to magnetic north at all to achieve astral projection. Though it can help. The reasoning has something to do with the earths magnetic poles. It helps to loosen the your subtle body’s & makes it easier to alter your consciousness & tune into other frequencies.
4. It depends on how much time & effort you are willing to put into it. When I first started attempting astral projection, I would be on & off with it for months & hardly putting any real effort into it. One day I got sick & tired of not succeeding & so I wrote down a goal to achieve it within a month. Then I took it far more seriously & started meditating more & reading more & practicing more. From the time I set that goal I had my first OBE within 2 weeks. But prior to that I had been failing miserably for months due to not putting enough effort into it. You really have commit yourself to it. And it’s different for everyone.
5. There are hundreds of techniques (maybe even thousands), but the technique is hardly important. The most important thing of all is your state of mind. You have to get into the state of mind where you believe 100% that you will succeed. Meditation, affirmations & self hypnosis can help with that. Lose the ego & detach yourself from meaningless earthly everyday activities.
6. It can be different for everyone. But generally it feels more real than this current waking life. Your senses are sharper, you feel more powerful & alive. Your body is usually vibrating intensely as well.
7. Ordinarily yes. In some cases you may not be lucid enough & confused & not sure what is happening. As you gain experience it will be pretty easy to tell.
8. Just think of your physical body & you will be back there. Sometimes you may suddenly snap back, other times you may fade slowly back, or you may feel like your being sucked back into your body. Any intense strong emotions will send you back in no time.
9. Generally they last a few minutes. Some can last only a few seconds (like my first OBE lasted about 20 to 30 seconds). Some may last even up to an hour if you’re lucky. That is extremely rare though & is very unlikely to happen. Most will last between 2 & 10 minutes. I am working on writing an ebook currently though, & am including a section on how to increase your time out of body. I have discovered something quite interesting lately. I have had a major breakthrough, a tremendous realization that may be able to turn OBEs from a few minutes into literally a few hours. I can’t go into that now though. I need to experiment more with it & many other things.
10. You can go anywhere you like. You can travel around Earth if you like (in the etheric realm), or travel inter-dimensionally (in the astral realms). You can travel at the speed of thought. If you want to fly just imagine yourself doing so. Beginners will often have trouble with movement though.
11. I will give you a method but like I said above the technique is nothing compared to the state of mind. You can try any technique & fail every time all because of your state of mind. Do you think an egotistical brainwashed materialistically mined skeptic with a limited view of reality will have the same success as someone more spiritually advanced & awakened? No, they wont. It’s all about the state of mind, the technique is nowhere near as important. But you can try this experiment anyway.
As you go to bed at night set the alarm clock to go off in a few hours time (if you know how to program your subconscious mind to wake you up at certain times than do that instead). I personally program my subconscious mind to wake my conscious mind up about 3 or 4 hours after I’ve fallen asleep. Though you can do it anywhere between 1 & 7 hours, whatever works for you, experiment with it. Give yourself positive affirmations as you dose off: ‘I will have an OBE tonight’ etc. After you’ve woken up you should still be very tired. This is a good thing as you want to put your body back to sleep ASAP. Don’t move much after you have woken (some get up & stay awake for a short time than lay back down & attempt an OBE, but for me I attempt it straight away, that works for me). Immediately go into a deep meditative state. While breathing in feel like your body is sinking down into the bed. While breathing out feel like you’re becoming lighter & lighter & feel as though you are floating. Now try to lose your awareness of your physical body. Try to minimize the input from your 5 main senses & focus inwardly. Be in a passive state of mind. Lose the ego. Do not think, keep strong emotions at bay. Try to feel your awareness altering & raising in frequency. Feel as though you have no physical body, only an energy body. Feel yourself as an energy body vibrating & increase the vibrational feeling by focusing on it & only it. Do not think, just feel yourself letting go of this world. Hopefully your body will have fallen asleep & your mind will still be awake, and with the vibrations present simply will yourself out.
12. Read the book Soul flight: Astral projection & the magical universe by Donald Tyson. It is probably the best book on OBEs I have ever read. There are many good books though. Go to a library & see what you can find.
13. Here are a couple: http://www.crystalinks.com/astralprojection.html – http://www.paralumun.com/astral.htm – http://www.allabouttheoccult.org/out-of-body-experience.htm – http://paranormal.suite101.com/article.cfm/how_to_initiate_an_obe – http://www.web-us.com/oobe/oobe.htm
14. Well eventually I will have a free ebook that you can read. Which I will have a link to it posted on my profile. But honestly that is a while a way yet. I have so much crap going on in my life right now & so much to sort out. So it could be quite some time until I finish writing the ebook.
About the Monroe method, one thing many people still don’t know is that there are 6 energy centers around your body, not just one place above the head. Each are about 3 feet away from you & are a few inches in diameter. One technique you can do is when you feel relaxed enough, on the border of sleep, imagine these energy centers all around you & draw in energy from them. Try to feel the energy emanating from them & draw it into you increasing your vibrational feeling all through your energy body. When you feel the vibes are strong enough (really strong) attempt lift out simply by willing yourself out.
