You really should find a copy of "Journeys out of the Body" used – if it is still out there.  Basically, he was a retired advertising executive who also was an experimenter with the use of different types of sound and altered states of consciousness. His experiences started when he was trying to do sleep learning. He discovered his own sleep paralysis, vibrations and the experiences he had at that point.  Since part of his sleep learning used sounds, he started to experiment with those sounds trying to figure out how they influenced the experiences he had.  He was not the first to have these experiences, but he was the one that is credited with popularizing the term "out-of-body-experience" in his books.  For me, his first book was pivotal in my understanding what was going on with me.  I had seen other books on astral projection, but none of them described it with the vibrations, and sleep paralysis as his book did.  Prior to that, I knew I must be doing something like astral projection, but I was concerned because none of them described exactly what happened to me as "Journeys out of the Body" did.  As far as hemi-synch- I have not tried it.  I never needed a way to induce the experiences.
