There are so many.  There are many sites with many techniques.  Although projections of consciousness is a natural ability that we all have every night we go to sleep, for many people it is an extremely disciplined skill to have conscious projections of consciousness.  In other words, fully aware and immersive conscious projection experiences that you remember upon awakening.  For many people, it requires lots of practice, patience, and persistence.  I have links to many websites that offer many different methods.  For many people, it takes a bit of time to find the right method that works for them.  And sometimes once the method is discovered, that method is not always consistent, and you quite often have to explore other methods.  Some people hit it off immediately and have successful amazing projections, others may take days, weeks, months, and even years before having consistent successful projections.  But it doesn't have to take that long.  It just depends on your state of mind and your degree of intent.

Thanks,
I was also trying this technique https://obe4u.com/how-to-lucid-dream/ and every time I went to sleep for 4 to 6 hours I couldn't get back to sleep. Should I just try to sleep 2 to 3 hours instead?

Thanks.

Thanks,
The reason I was asking is that I'm trying to do this technique and can't awaken after 4 to 5 hours of sleep to do the obe4u technique? Any advice?

This is the technique I'm trying

Thanks.

Hi,
I wanted to know if lucid dreaming is the same thing as astral projection/obe?

Please discuss the theories/evidence/ your experiences?

Thanks.

I awoke after two and half hours. I couldn't stay awake and went back to sleep. I'm going to try it Sunday and Monday.

Thanks.

You should set ur alarm for only 2-3 hours. As it is now your body is getting enough sleep after only 5-6 hours so you cant get into the phase state. Do you ever wake up naturally during the nite to pee or whatever? Those are the best times to try techniques bro. Every time you naturally awake at nite. The 5-6 hour technique is trying to catch your last and longest rem cycle of the nite. It isnt an exact science. It is only trying to remain aware while you are in that drowsy state upon waking. Remain awake and aware while your body goes back to sleep. Then you will experience energy sensations or hypnagogia..... RARELY. But when you do those are the times to phase. Its that simple.

Can I still try Raduga's technique but with the 2 to 3 hours of sleep? I have notes I took of his technique but I don't know where / how to share it on this forum.

Thanks.

Hi,
I wanted to ask if someone can tell me how to solve a problem? Every time I don't take my psych meds and go to sleep and awaken with an alarm clock after 5 or 6 hours for attempting to do the Micheal Raduga technique I end up staying awake. This is the second time doing this and I can't go back to sleep. He says in his tutorial to stay awake for 3 to 50 minutes. This morning I stayed awake for five minutes and immediately before / after I can't go back to sleep. Any advice?

Thanks.

How? ...would you agree with practice and determination? 

Listen to his video!
"Leave Your Body in 3 Days (1/3) - A Michael Raduga Seminar"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQjAIlFZWWc

Raduga has a pinned post at top. Most important sections of video for you will be at these times of video:
32:18 - Indirect method theory
1:20:02 - Indirect method practice

Thanks I already saw that video / took notes on it, but I'll watch it again and re-take notes.

Thanks.

Hi,
I've been noticing that every time I did say the affirmation for William Buhlman's technique I would awaken once a night in my sleep to recall a dream (I haven't done it in a week or two) I wanted to ask how people make themselves get up with subsequent awakenings using Micheal Raduga's technique? I know I said I didn't want to do his techniques but I remember having a very vivid lucid dream where I was Spiderman and was swinging throughout New York City. I also want to know how people using Raduga's technique are able to make themselves get up multiple times throughout sleep?

Thanks.

Happy new year,
I wanted to ask how do I get different results for obe interview with ap experts on YouTube? The reason I'm asking is that I'm getting repeat results of William Buhlman interviews I've listened to.

Thanks.

I'm confused!  Did you even read them? The answers to your questions, the "tips" your are looking for are already there!

The first link gives you a 7 day program. Try it!

The second link is loaded with great techniques. Pick the one you feel comfortable with and use it. It is already full of great tips.

Thanks,
I just wanted to know for day 4 how to act as if I have already astral projected. Should I use a past np dream experience or should I make my own visualization?

Thanks.

I also wanted to know if anyone could link me to interviews/lectures by other authors other than Buhlman? The reason being is that I'm running low on new material for him.

Thanks.

Hi,
I wanted to know if anyone could give me tips on how to manifest an obe np experience with these URLs?

Thanks.

The thing is, if you have a rushing mind and you go with that to the NP via falling asleep and without clearing it out with some techniques, you will have a big Focus 2 event chain and we can call it "vivid dream". I dropped the dream label years ago, I rather call these just NP experiences. I noticed for myself if the daily life supplies my with full of crap and I don't eliminate it, I won't be as "lucid" as to the degree that I can just walk out from the actual "place" where I gain my peak awareness. For example, this Christmas was a nightmare for me lol, family and others just sucked me out like hell and I started to regain myself as soon as relatives got lost this place. I hate it. So when events are coming like this or you have daily worries, these are dumped in the background. Another interesting thing what I noticed, if I only have a slight thought about indeed people, places, anything for some seconds while I try to concentrate on being fully aware once I fell asleep, you can guess what will be with me for days in physical terms.

NP guidance also takes part in this, you need high awareness, work for it. It is not so easy all the time. I'm still figuring out the right mixture and tools to be as aware as in the physical but you can guess that a nightly 5-6 experiences which last for days, well you will be bored after a while or overloaded. So periods are coming when you lose the tail on purpose to have some pause. Not an easy thing to do. You just have enough for a while about leading your diary. This happened me for months lately and I'm slowly catching up. But my tools, thoughts and experiences are mine  : ) We are not similar. For me, the best method to dissolve ALL noise is listening to music for 1-2 hours with earplugs in bed before falling asleep. Something needs to grab your attention. You do this all day long. I'm sick and tired of helping on question sites like Quora (before that Reddit) but I shared this there too. People just don't read back on useful answers and this reminds me about many questions there too about mind noise and falling asleep.

I had some conversations a few times with a few people around me, family members, friends, they didn't get if being "lucid" leads you to much more, finding that awareness level, then it is "easy" to achieve. No it is not if you are bombarded with stuff. This is why I support Frank Kepple's view about becoming closed and passive in daily life, no opinions, no dramas etc but it is hard to achieve once annoying people and thoughts are there.

I know Buhlman's work but he is very passionate with OBEs. He speaks about forgetting everything and all the flaws and he has his own doctrination lol. Be cautious.

Yeah, thanks. Even in one of his lectures I watched last night, Buhlman said to question everything in his books and that your thoughts/outlook determines if you'll have an obe (or non-physical experience).

Thanks.

In this manner I'm an "author" too with an LD book but I don't say that you need that. You just need to practice implementing your aim or intent before falling asleep. Well, I was always a conscious NPer and you can still be that conscious without realizing that you are in the NP. So you can be an observer, an active player and some other. But well, an LD is in general where you are aware of your experiences. So you should get used to the idea that you need to still yourself and then it changes. I can speak big textwalls about it, but why should we make it complicated? Just practice this before falling asleep, clear your mind and let yourself normally fall asleep with the last thoughts of becoming fully aware. No need for books really and techniques. Maybe just self-suggestions. Sometimes not really just the empty mind with the intent. You will see it.

It doesn't work if you are full of crap in your mind. In the last week I'm full of that from my family tree and Christmas and I hate it but it will be over soon. It is enough if somebody disturbs your life or something and you can't get lost of that.

Thanks for the advice. This is what's been happening to me most of the time. An example could be when last night (the 27th of December) I was thinking how much I was going to miss my government class. Instead of it being my regular professor it was Robin Williams that was my professor in a vivid dream. Since following the advice in adventures beyond the body and astralinfo.org all nights I've been usually having vivid dreams daily but not lucid dreams.

Thanks.

I also wanted to know if I just wanted to do lucid dreaming would I have to have what I've dreamed about as dream signs? The reason I'm asking is that usually what I think about 1 to 2 hours before sleep usually is what I dream about. Another reason I'm asking is that I was reading exploring the world of lucid dreaming and the author said you have to have dream themes as the launching pad to lucid dream. I've been having dreams every day including today the 26th of December 2018 since earlier this month.

Thanks.

If you enjoy Astral related interviews, you will probably enjoy this one as well. This one is from basically an unknown, amongst the more famous Authors and names that speak and write on the topic. His enthusiasm is really uplifting. After hearing him, you really want to be a part of that "reality". Art Bell even tries to sway him to talk about the negative side of Astral projection, but Albert won't go there.

Many people report their first success after they just heard a speaker or read something on the topic. Sometimes that's all it takes.I call that their first "sneak peek" or "bye"!

Yeah, I've read his book to. It was good but the techniques were kindof lacking.

Thanks,
I'll listen when I have time.

Hey luffy28, I haven't read much of Buhlman yet but I can say when I read material or watch youtubes about AP it also heightens my chances of having an experience. You are definitely doing well and the only advice I have is to keep doing what you're doing. It's working.

I've just now began reading Otherwhere and I agree that it does get a bit fantastical and is deeply colored by Leland's own perceptions. But really, what else can color our experiences with. Anyway I am enjoying it but also reserving my opinions and counter-balancing what I'm reading with my own experiences.

So much to learn...

Thanks. I also watch interviews and lectures from Buhlman and other authors. I first read his book from the library then I eventually bought a used version on Amazon for dirt cheap. The only thing is that I took almost a week and a half because it was shipped from the UK to me in the states. I've read it two or three times. I've also read adventures in the afterlife and am going to read it again once I can get it from my library again. Also, my library has that with higher self now.

Thanks.

When i first started projecting i found simply reading about aping before sleep seemed to assist greatly. Good luck!

I've also found that watching interviews with ap authors on YouTube also works. Also, I was visualizing my cat and the room but it only lasted a few days. I now visualize a part of my community college while using my cell phone and saying to myself in my head while visualizing "My consciousness exists out of body" once I get tired and I also practice it a few hours before sleep. I've noticed I've been having 1 to 3 vivid dreams daily most of the time.

Any advice/feedback?

Thanks.

Can you recommend any books to read to aid with this?

Thanks.

Thanks for the reply. I know Jurgen Ziewe has a book about his experiences but to me it's boring. You're right about if he (Buhlman) doesn't want to share his experiences he doesn't have to.

If you or anyone else could share their experiences with his system that would be nice. I might share them once I get an obe with it.

Thanks. 

Thanks,
I'm also reading the book for the 2nd time. I wish he wrote a book of journal entries. I also read adventures in the afterlife that was also good. I read the main story in 2 to 3 days and it was very good. I'm ordering a physical version because I had to take it back to the library.

Thanks.

Hi, I wanted to know people's experiences with techniques from adventures beyond the body?

I've been doing it for two days and this morning I got two vivid dreams (I forgot what the dreams were about). I'm trying to technique from this URL.

http://www.astralinfo.org/astral-projection-methods/

The part I'm trying is named Visualization with Affirmations

I'm also rereading the book and am on chapter 3.

Thanks.

Are the alarms fully awakening you? Maybe adjust the alarms volume so it doest awaken you as much. You only want to barely awaken, just enough so you have slight awareness where you are as close to the sleep/wake line as possible. If you awaken to much you lose your window. If you dont awaken enough you wont have enough awareness to remember that you are attempting to project. Also-instead of trying Radugas techniques all the time try instead to remain aware in that sleep/wake twilite state of mind and monitor what happens. To do this, after one of your alarms awakens you and you become aware, IMMEDIATELY relax as if you were going back to sleep. So 1. You are sleeping and boom, you hear one of your timers alarms awaken you. 2. As soon as you remember that you are attempting to project, immediately relax as much as you can as if you were going back to sleep. Dont worry, you wont fall back to sleep. The excitement of trying to project will keep you from falling asleep. 3. When you are relaxing deeper and deeper after the alarm awoke you listen for any sounds and monitor for any electrical energy sensations. If you notice sounds or energy sensations continue to relax even more. You need to firmly set the intent to "immediately relax" upon hearing your ramp timer so it becomes second nature. Understand? You are getting close bro so remain deligent. It may happen tonite or next week but it will never happen if you give up. Once it does happen and you familiarize yourself with your process it will become easier for you. Good luck!

Thanks, I don't think that the ramp or the obe4u technique is for me. The reason is that to have np LD's you need to first be able to recall dreams. The obe4u technique isn't working for me because I sleep very deeply (I don't have sleep apnea officially but I still to a certain degree have a snoring problem). I'm going to try to make another thread on trying techniques from adventures beyond the body.

Thanks.

I wasnt referring to how are you using Radugas obe4u technique Luff, I was referring to how are you using the ramp timer. I thought that is what we were talking about. Good luck!

Last night / earlier this morning. I woke up stayed awake for 5 to 10 minutes. I then set the timer audio I made and used it for 2 and a half hours. The ramp timer played every 15 minutes. Every time it woke me I ended up trying the separating technique and the cycling techniques. Every time I tried doing the separation I felt stuck to my body. The only dream I had was a vivid dream about a train that only lasted 20 to 30 seconds.

Luff
Please explain what you are trying to do and how you are trying to do it in step by step detail. Again, from your posts it doesnt sound like you are understanding how a ramp timer works. Explain in step by step detail exactly what you are doing and then I will advise you on how it defers from my technique. It is difficult to advise you when it seems you may possibly not be understanding the concept of a ramp timer and doing it to its full benefits. Good luck!

The obe4u technique I'm doing is where you try to separate for 3 to 5 seconds. Then if you don't separate you then do cycling techniques. The two techniques I'm doing is phantom wiggling and hands visualization. You do each cycling technique for 3 to 5 seconds. If a LD or OBE is reached then that is what doing the cycling techniques are for. The cycling techniques are then done in back to back for the seconds and then done in total for 4 cycles. A cycle is the two techniques done 4 times in total for a total of 40 seconds. If you need additional explanation reply back to this post.
