i'm just wondering if the whole New Energy Ways section in astral dynamics is really necessary for acheiving OBE's... i know many people, from other forums, who can project quite easily without any energy work whatsoever. so i'm just wondering if, it's possible to kind of skip over that section, and get right down to the projection part?

thanks!

Hey so i have just started doing NEW and i feel like i'm not doing it quite right. I am at the point where i'm doing full-body circuit stuff. It talks in Astral Dynamics about the strong energy-movement sensations you're supposed to feel, but i can hardly feel anything. I can feel a slight tingling but that's it. For the whole-body circuit thing you're supposed to be using the "sponge" method of tactile-imaging, right? What exactly are you supposed to be visualizing and feeling? And i can never seem to get into a good rhythm when i do it. how long is one circuit supposed to take?
And also, honestly, is it really that import for OBE's? I mean Robert Bruce is the only person i've ever heard of that thinks energy work is a prerequisite for OBE.
thanks for your time everyone!

Hi Ben,

The basics behind MBA is to use your imagination to recreate the sensation you would feel if you were to do it for real.

It can be a bit of a mind bender at first if you are unused to such concepts, but I can assure you it is a form of visualisation, though it might better be called feelisation, as it is imagining the sense of touch, not the sense of vision.

As the doco describes,  run your finger around, say, the joint of your thumb. Do this with eyes closed and just think about the feeling on your skin as as your doing this. Keep in mind how your skin felt as you were doing this, then use your imagination only and hit your brain's replay button.

Recreate this same sensation around your thumb with your thoughts only, based on the memory of what it actually felt like.
Your minds eye will naturally be drawn to this spot, and it will seem in your mind like you are looking at that spot. That's ok, it's perfectly fine to do so. Its the touch sensation more than the image of it your trying to recreate.

Hope this helps a bit,
James.
