The Brain method

[Frank]

Yes, now you are really making good progress! Problem is you moved and spoilt it.

I recently found the head vibrations begin as a very light mental swishing feeling. Like someone was stroking my brain with a feather, every second or so. Then I start to get a zump... zump... zump about twice a second, which feels like a portion of my brain is contracting and releasing. These contractions become faster to the point where it feels like you are vibrating.

Allow yourself to bathe in the vibrations and they get more and more refined, i.e they get to a higher pitch. At some point you will simply move away from the Physical and make your entrance on the Astral. Oh, and at some point too you should automatically get your Astral sight.

One good way I found of getting your focal point of awareness upwards, is to imagine that, at either side of your head at the temple region, is a ping-pong bat. And you keep knocking the ball from one side to the other about once or twice a second. Then create two small awareness hands and have them massage your forehead and temples.

Another thing I started doing is have an imaginary short length of string with a weight on the end. Take one of your awareness hands and imagine it is situated vertically in the top middle of your head. Then have it hold the non-weighted end of the string and start spinning it around so the weight flings out and spins horizontally.  

Another one is to take the same hand and string and hold the hand horizontally, so the fingers are facing the inside of your forehead, and start the weight spinning like a propellor.

If you continue with one thing too long your attention shifts. So keep rotating each set of imagery every minute or so. There will come a point where you suddenly realised you forgot all about your physical body and you find yourself either remotely viewing some Astral scenary, or you begin feeling the contractions in your head.

Yours,
Frank

Frank  by higher pitched vibrations do you mean  they become sharper and/or smoother  instead of  the intensity of "average" vibrations,  i am going to assume you do for the time being.  

I had the contraction in my brain feeling,  but it wasnt the same part of my brain as it was in my morning experience so i quickly shunned it as being  the wrong part of my brain to focus on, although ill focus on it next time.

Does this method project you to the astral plane or real time zone??

Is it possible to shift between the A.P  and the R.T.Z  whilst  projecting?

If when i gain astral sight i think "wow ive got astral sight"  it will surely fade away...yes??

i did not hear the incredible noises like i did in the morning last night,   do the noises imply i am closer to projecting?

They become higher pitched and smoother. At first the vibrations can feel like you are sitting on an unbalanced spin-dryer that's turning at full speed. Once you get more proficient at bringing them on, they quickly smooth out.

Explore *all* brain contractions. They are important, trust me.

The real-time zone is an Astral plane, but I realise what you are saying. I found that if I let the vibrations smooth out slowly, whilst gently thinking about rocking from side to side, at some point I flop out into the real-time zone. If you let the vibrations refine further you automatically move away from the Physical and project within the Astral.

quote:

Yes, very possible. There are various techniques that involve shooting off at high speed in the real-time zone and ending up within the Astral. With me, I suppose, because the Astral is where I would normally project to, I only have to think about being there and I automatically transport somehow.

Chances are, yes. But not necessarily so.

The noise you hear is just stray energy that just seems to come and go at random (with me, anyway). Because of that you cannot really imply anything from it.

When I manage to do a really smooth and controlled conscious exit (cannot do that all the time, yet) I neither hear nor see any stray-energy at all.

Best of luck.

Frank

Is it necessary to go back to the body first or is it possible to go into the real-time near-physical area from the astral planes? It sounds easy to go from the real-time zones to the astral, but so far nothing has been said about how to reverse the process. If it can be done, then how to pick a specific location?


 

[Frank]

Yes it most certainly can be done. But as to how to pick a specific location is escaping me at the moment. Basically, my navigation skills suck and I'm currently working on changing that.

As the Astral encompasses the Physical, it should be possible to travel, say, to the moon within the Astral and then simply plop out into the moon's RT-zone and go walkabout (or any other planet for that matter).

Yours,
Frank

Frank   do you ever focus on just your brow chakra as opposed to the  whole crown of your head head to get out?

i find it much easier to focus on my brow chakra  than my whole head.

if your not farmiliar with chakras the brow chakra is between your eyebrows

 

[Frank]

Yes, though, Astral travel uses a combination of both. I talked about this in a recent post reference my two newly developed methods of projecting: there's my "step in" projection and my "travelling" projection. The post was quite recent so should be an easy look-up.

Yours,
Frank

Brain contractions sound painful... Or atleast the way they are described.





To many stars, not enough sky.

[Frank]

Your brain isn't actually contracting, it just feels that way. Some of the sensations you get can feel uncomfortable, at first, until you become accustomed to them.

Yours,
Frank

Frank, sorry for resurrecting this old thread, but it seems an important topic.  

I have tried the techique months ago, with some interesting results, only to have had forgotten about it since then.  Was reminded of it in a post from Pete, about an 'eject button for the soul'.  Will definitely try it again tonight though.

Have you any more progress to report on this?  
Any little details to add to the technique?

Thanks,
~Jacque

Frank, how exactly do you begin the focus of this Brain Technique. It sounds promising and interesting.

I hadn't heard ot the Brain Method before, but played around with it last night...and found it to be the quickest and easiest method I have tried, whilst I didn't achieve a full OBE due to outside interuptions, I was at a vibrational stage in a very short time...and will definately try again tongiht!
Thanks,
Bindi...

When originally posting to this thread I was working on stimulating what Mystics call the Crown Chakra, and trying a number of ways of getting my focal point of awareness away from the back of my physical eyes and point it upwards into the expanse of my mind.

This was prompted primarily from my research into the question of where, exactly, do the "vibrations" come from. Regulars will have heard me talk about what I call my cannonball-exit; a projection experience characterised by a sudden feeling of intense vibration, followed by the sensation of exiting the Physical with a force like I had been shot from a cannon. So I set out to try and slow down this process in an attempt to find out what was happening.

I discovered the vibrations began very subtly from a point at the crown of the head: right where all the mystical drawings and charts depict the placement of what is termed the Crown Chakra. From further research, I have now found it possible to be able to focus inwards and, given the right conditions, I can activate the Crown Chakra even while still having some awareness of my physical body together with my physical surroundings. Although this is still very much easier said than done.

Activation begins first with a subtle mental "knowing" feeling that tells me I hit on the right place within my mind. And this bit is the real tricky part. Because from then on it feels like an automatic process takes over. Following this "knowing" feeling comes a short phase where I feel like I am experiencing vibrations, but I'm not actually experiencing them. It's sort of like I'm beginning to mentally tune-into them. For a while this was a tad confusing. Until the penny dropped and I realised that the vibrations were something that were always there, and not something that we create. In other words, we don't in some way "manufacture" this vibrational state. It's more something that we mentally tune-into by focusing our awareness in a particular direction.

Next, I get a kind of mental swooshing feeling like someone just stroked my brain with a feather. This happens every couple of seconds or so. Then I relax into this further and the swooshing feeling turns into a mental vibration that occurs about once per second. Now, at this point, if I relax into it further then the vibrations increase in frequency and intensity and I lose all sensation of my physical body.

Yours,
Frank

Greetings Frank!

Thank you very much indeed for this latest methodology - it makes alot of sense as the Crown and Brow Chakra's together with the Heart Chakra are the most important points of higher focus. The lower triangle of Chakras are more grounded, which is not the objective for Astral projection.

With apologies if I have overlooked another post on this, would you mind summarising this latest "Crown Chakra" method of yours from the beginning as a complete working Astral projection method? Also, is this a method for anytime, or is it best to wake up early morning with full relaxation and half trance state and work from there?

An indication as to how long the process takes from start to Astral would be most useful as well - I think some people tend to get frustrated to quickly if things don't happen very quickly. There has also been much discussion on lying position - many people say that OBE is really only possible - reliably at least - while lying on the back rather than the side - this seems quite a common observation.

Also - has this evolved beyond and to supercede your Monroe type phasing method, or are they connnected in some way?

Thanks again for a most useful and interesting contribution!

With best regards,

Adrian.

I was just trying the Brain Method last night, just to see if it would do any good. And I was suprised and shocked of how effective it was. So much that I startet to laugh and had to abort [].

First I startet off by just lying on my back in my bed breathing in and out slowly for a few minutes. Then I moved my awareness to the inside of my brain. I tried to center it so that it would be paralel to my Brow Chakra. And after a while with just trying to find the right position, it just setteled there. After that everything pretty much went on its own. I could feel some contractions in my forehead, my Borw Chakra started activating as all hell, and the vibrations started comming in stronger and stronger, to the point where I almost could'nt feel my body anymore. I aborted cause I was laughing and I was'nt realy prepared to AP.
But all of this happened in just about 5min.
That is amazing!

Im gonna try this again, and so should YOU!(who ever reads this)[8D]
