I came up with this technique by combining a common lucid dream induction technique that involves sleep cycle interruption with a tactile stimulation technique. It seems to be effective about 80% of the time and, for me at least, works MUCH better than the classic induction techniques, especially if you have trouble visualizing in the visualization techniques.
------------------------------
You know that sensation that you get when you are scared or cold, a two second rush of tingles that spreads out across your back, the back of the neck and head, and across your arms and down your legs? It gives you goosebumps,especially if the environment is slightly cold. It occurs naturally if you are cold, and also if you are frightened or even if you think about being scared, that's why people who are frightened say they feel "the hairs of the back of their neck stand up". It works best if you are in a cool environment. Most people don't even notice it but it's very important to RECOGNIZE and be able to self-induce this tingling sensation at will for this technique to work.
Try to make this sensation occur the next time you are in a cool environment, try to give yourself goosebumps, think about how cold you are and you will be able to self-induce these tingles. Practice. Once you get good at self inducing them (it's extremely easy once you recognize them), remember to induce them when you are trying to project, but they will only lead to a projection if you are relaxed enough so that your body enters the mind awake, body asleep state.
Here's the actual projection technique:
Wake up 2-3 hours earlier than you usually do so that you are a little tired. Stay up for about 2 hours doing something relaxing (read about OBE's to condition your mind). Then go back to sleep. Because of the sleep cycle interruption, you will most likely achieve the mind awake/body asleep state as you enter the hypnagogic state (half awake, half asleep) only you will be a lot more conscious than as is typical in the hynagogic state. You may also find that you lose consciousness first and then will just wake up in the proper mind awake/body asleep state.
At either of these points induce the tingles. Do it over and over which will induce AND strengthen the vibrations to a high degree. Next, try various projection techniques which will work a lot better due to the increased intensity of the vibrations. If the vibes are strong enough, you may just project without any effort! This is what usually happens to me.
Please try this and let me know if it works for you. I have a lot of confidence in this technique, I believe it would be very beneficial if this post became a sticky at some point if there was a lot of positive feedback of the efficacy of this technique.
