Here's something you guys could try. This is by far the easiest way I've ever found myself on the other side. It's tricky, but pretty easy. Not sure if you'd call it phasing but I like to think so.
Basically, you lay down in bed at night, get comfortable, and begin to let yourself drift off to sleep just like you would any other night. No worrying about energy raising or exit methods or pulling in vibrations or anything, just let your mind wander like you normally would when going to sleep. The difference is that you try to keep enough presence of mind to tell when you are falling asleep (this is the tricky part - very easy to just fall asleep). For me, my mind will be wandering about and I'll realize I haven't been paying any attention to my body for a while. This usually wakes me right back up to a fully awake state but this is the place you want to be for this to work, right when you know you could easily drift off to sleep but are still awake and your body feels heavy.
At this point, go back to falling asleep again but instead of just letting your mind wander, you need to do something to keep your awareness in place as you're falling asleep. This really could be anything, even just a strong intent to do so, but what has worked in the past for me is that I will begin to imagine looking at my right hand in my mind's eye and seeing a symbol of some sort tatooed on it. I say to myself (in my mind of course) that when I see this symbol, it will remind me that I'm awake in a dream. I then let my mind go back to wandering (at this point, I could be anywhere doing anything in my imagination) but I make a point to occasionally look at my right hand and see this symbol to remind me that I'm awake in a dream.
What happens next is that as I actually do fall asleep (when this works and I don't lose awareness and just fall asleep like usual), I will be somewhere doing something in a dream, see my hand, and suddenly I'm just there - fully aware but asleep and in a dream. From here, the sky's the limit if you don't get too excited and just wake up. You can go with whatever you were doing, change the scenery, initiate a more "traditional" type obe with vibrations, or whatever you want. The last time I did this, I just said to myself that I don't want this to be a dream anymore, I want it to be real, and I was standing outside my body in my bedroom looking down on myself. No vibrations or weird sensations or anything.
This probably sounds more like initiating a lucid dream that phasing but to be honest, I don't really know what the difference is besides a heightened state of awareness in an obe as opposed to a more low-level awareness in a lucid dream with less control and a more "just go with it" mentality. I know in the past there have been some strong opinions on the differences between lucid dreams and obe's and I don't want to open that can of worms. But if you like, give this a try for a few nights. You may be surprised. Works even better if you use the old sleep for a few hours first and wake up early routine.
