astral dynamics- is NEW really neccesary?

[Ben987]

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!

the only "energy work" I do is my Tai Chi (classes twice a week). I've never done NEW. And I was experiencing OBEs before I ever started tai chi.

Short answer...no you don't need to do energy work to have OBEs.

The only thing I was doing before I was able to acheive obe's is meditation. I was not into meditation for projection though, I was interested in meditation first and then meditation made me interested in projection because of all the weird things that were happening to me while meditating. So I believe no its not needed. The whole idea when it comes to projection is intent. You have to be strong willed and you have to intend on it so much that your subconscious sees that strong intent and then acts accordingly. So if reading/using the new energy ways section will make the difference to your subconscious who am I to tell you not to, I would say do it, it can only help show your subconscious your intent is strong.
