Monroe's energy body / chakra development

[Pauli2]

CFTraveler, I doubt my father would admit an OBE, he just isn't that type of person.

Interesting enough, when having re-read most of Monroe's first book, I'm noticing that almost every of Monroe's exits are preceded by a lot of vibrations.

He mentions the "1-20/LQ procedure" to induce OBE, but I found very little description of this Monroe method. I only get the impression that he counts to twenty and then exits..?

If you have the first book (is it Journeys?) he does describe his method in it.  It's something with focusing on an area in front of him, then going up in an angle (to focus in the space in front of him) and then pulling the 'vibrations' towards him in some way (I already forgot).  At the time I think he saw the  vibes as things he could pull to him.  IMO he was using body-awareness practices (like the rope method) to exit, and didn't realize that.
I think there's a thread in this forum (the OBE forum) in where someone quotes it.  Maybe in techniques?  Maybe you can use the search for "pulling for vibrations" or something like that.  It's probably in the EIC forum, as they have a lot of Monroe literature.

At the end of Monroe's first book, page 235, 237 & 240, he mentions having a recurring "air hiss" sound in his ears. I guess that if that sound changes over time, say over a week or a day, it's not tinnitus, but something else. Perhaps the hissing sound is the result of non-physical energy movements?

Also, in the mid 1960s, Monroe's body vibrations disappeared and developed into a feeling of warmth (page 239).
