ganzfeld technique theta state

[Centa Five]

You have an interesting subject and it may be yet another shortcut into AP practice.  I assume that you have not tried it yet. I checked out your 3 links and thought the first one had the most practical data. I intend to get some ping pong balls and try it out and will post the results here and you can do the same if you decide to try it. Thanks for your post.

This is incredibly interesting!  I know the exact effect...I've noticed it many times while staring at a cloudless sky.  Can this be used to induce OBE?  The articles never mention OBE at all, but rather telepathy mainly.  I'll give this technique a try tonight and see how it goes.

I was reading of this ganzfeld technique which rarely anyone in this forum is talking about and many science laboratories use to induce altered conscious experiences.  It's called ganzfeld mainly the monks used to stare in clear skies or in white snow and in minutes shift their mind to the theta state.  They say within minutes your mind goes into the theta state.  All you have to do is buy ping pong ball cut it in half make sure no logo on it put it the eye where it completely covers it and lie down make sure the room is lit and the balls are white and also listen to static noise ie a untuned radio station noise.  I feel this sort of silences the mind, I'd like any feedback anyone managed ap's with this.  They say they also use this for psi stuff people who guess an image in another room normally its 1/4 chance but when they did this method their odds were 36% instead of 25% to indicate this increases your psi.  I think it maybe as good or better than concentrating on the candle technique and I noticed many science psychology/psi labs use this techniques.
