This technique is taken from "A Treatise of White Magic" by Alice Bailey.

Learn, as you go to sleep, to withdraw all of your consciousness to the center of the top of the head. This should be practiced as a definite exercise as one falls to sleep. One should not permit oneself to drift off to sleep, but should endeavor to preserve the consciousness intact until there is a conscious passing out onto the astral plane. Relaxation, close attention, and a steady drawing upwards to the center in the head should be attempted, for until the aspirant has learned to be steadily aware of all processes in going to sleep and to preserve at the same time his positivity, there is danger in this work. The first steps must be taken with intelligence and followed for many years until facility in the work of abstraction is achieved.

Record and watch all phenomena connected with the withdrawing process, whether followed in the meditation work or in going to sleep. It will be found, for instance, that many people wake with an almost painful start just as they have dropped asleep. This is due to the slipping out of the consciousness through a web which is not adequately clear and through an orifice at the top of the head (anterior fontanelle) which is partially closed. Others may hear an intensely loud snap in the region of the head. This is caused by the vital airs in the head of which we are not usually aware and is produced by an inner aural sensitivity which causes awareness of sounds always present but not usually registered. Others will see light as they fall asleep, or clouds of color, or banners and streamers of violet, all of which are etheric phenomena. These phenomena which are of no real moment, are all related to the vital body, to pranic emanations, and to the web of light.


I have had four OBE's in a week by doing this technique. With this technique, you can tell the moment you are out of body since you start to lose your sense of hearing and I can hear my fan in my bedroom go softer and softer until I can't hear it anymore. If anyone tries this technique, please let me know of your results with it.

I would like input of what type of projections are possible. Here is my list and how I achieve them.

Out of body experience (external awareness) = obtained only by separation of my non-physical feet upwards then the rest of the non-physical body follows. Sometimes my non-physical head region gets stuck with my non-physical legs lifted high in the air.

Astral projection, lucid dream, phasing (internal awareness) = obtained by focusing on the third eye region of the head to project.

Review of "Dr. Doreal, Astral Projection How to Accomplish It".

This book is very helpful. It states that you are already functioning on the astral plane 24 hours a day, so you do not travel when you astral project. You just switch your awareness to your astral consciousness which is already on the fourth dimensional astral plane.

The book also says that awareness in the physical life system involves three linear dimensions (length, width, and height). Each of these is three straight lines. In order to to function on the astral plane, your total awareness needs to be focused in the area slightly behind the ears and in the center of the head and you need to curve it so it is no longer functioning in three dimensions. The curve would make your awareness be on the fourth dimension.

The book gives instructions on how to do this.

I am starting a journal of my out of body experiences. Feel free to comment on anything you would like.
