The very easy AP method..

[BlackBox]

I can get into the trance-state also, but just can't let go and OBE.

I guess I'll try the Mind Awake, Body Asleep method, but that sounds over-simplistic...or does it? (dun dun dun)

Shouldn't this topic be renamed: "The very easy 'Trance-state' method"?

Thank you for the extremely simple-sounding method, omega.  I dig it quite a bit.

This method workes wonders for many people. This method is copyrighted the only people that can publish this are JB and Robert Bruce. Thanks you omega

Mind Awake=Body Asleep this is all you need to AP you don’t need a technique at all. Here is how you do it when your rested repeat in your mind. Mind Awake and try to move your consinious to your brain. Then say Body Asleep in your mind and move your consciousness to your body its that easy. What I do is make two different colors so I can switch back and forth from Mind Awake and Body Asleep. I imagine my Body is a light blue and my brain is orange. When you inhale say in your mind Mind Awake then imagine your body is a light blue with an orange brain. Since your mind is awake increase the color of your orange brain make it brighter and your body dimmer. Then do the opposite when you exhale Say in your mind Body Asleep and dim your orange brain and make your light blue body brighter. You have to remember to say Mind awake or Body asleep in your mind depending on witch one your moving your consciousness to. This is a very easy method you have to try it.

This sounds nice and I've done trance-work like it before, I'll have to try it tonight. Is there a way get the mind awake - body asleep thing without words, tho?  I find that words, mantras and such don't have that much of an effect because I concentrate on the sound (in my head) and not the meaning.  Would it be easier, does anyone think, to just think of the meaning or how it feels to have the body asleep and mind awake?
By the way, excellent thinking, Omega.

I know no one but me has posted in this topic for a while, but I'll post my experiences with this trance work anyway.  I've been more successful when trying this in the morning (at night I just fall asleep).  The first time I tried this in the morning, my body litterally fell asleep after about ten minutes, then I began to go into a deep trance (you know, when you start to have trouble breathing), but I knew my body was asleep because I lost control of my breathing and started breathing slowly and deeply as though I were asleep.  A very powerful technique...

Thank Omega and everyone else who has been trying and working on these ideas!

Last night i went to bed and began the breathing technique; saying mind awake as i drew breath in, and body asleep as i let the breath go. I used the colour aspect for a little while, but that soon faded, and i just thought about the words.

Well i drifted out of consciousness, but had the most amazingly vivid dreams, followed by quite a profound lucid dream.

I had set my alarm early to practice further, in that relaxed state, but i woke up a few hours before this instead and decided to practice earlier.

So i continued with the words and sensed strong vibrations coming almost instantly. The words really helped me stay focused, and allowed me to take these vibrations further than i have done for some time. I felt a separation, but must have clicked out before i could continue.

Needless to say, i was pretty excited when i woke up. I'm happy to have found a method that works for me, and allows me to stay focused.

So thanks again Omega, your ideas have been a great help!

Peace,
J

THAnks omega man......This has brought me closer to AP'ing than ever before...I got Astral Noise

There was a loud beep that i heard (maybe a cross between a beep and click). It scared the hell outta me but there is no way in which it was something from my room(or anything from my house)...So this had to have been from the astral...

I achieved the light body stage very quickly

Combine this with the triangle method...very cool

Anyway

I would kiss u omega if u were right here

Excuse me if i seem cranky but its 2 in the morning and i can't get to sleep.

I've been trying several different teks all with no progress! I came along this one hoping it would work with all its positive feedback an all... but no. Now, the problems are: 1. I have no idea in what way to breathe. If im taking "un-natural" breaths (deep breaths etc) isn't that focusing too much on the physical body which will prevent it falling asleep? 2. I can't clear my mind well enough, after thinking "mind awake" by the time im thinking "body asleep" im thinking about how great the day at the beach was! RRRRR. 3. And im really hoping visualize means imagine because if not i have no idea how to visualize.....You see people in sit-coms on tv visualizing with the whole "cloud popping away from the head thing" but it's not supposed to be crystal clear is it? Like i think of my head becoming orange but the rest of my body sort of fades away....

If this made no sense whatsoever and sounded like a heap of rubbish, excuse me but im half asleep. And a 15 year old (me) doesn't have all that much patience (but has persistence) for APing and waiting til morning to post! Im off to bed now and thanks in advance for any feed back
