Hi all,
I found purely by accident that this, at least works for me to move away form body consciousnesses and in too subtle body awareness very quickly and quite naturally.
I wonder if it will work for others?
Bear in mind I wasnt looking to AP but just meditate in the power when I found this.
I do this sitting in a chair without touching the back of the chair. After relaxing and simply focusing on the breathe for a few minutes (ALWAYS through the nose).
I then begin to gently breath deep "full breaths" inflate stomach then diaphragm then the chest for a minute or so to slightly over oxygenise myself, then take one big breath hold it and release....it has the effect of taking you naturaly into a meditative state and means you can then minimise the breath and leave longer gaps between breathing...this makes it easier to focus away from the body.
All the time im doing this I focus gently and lovingly on the space between the eyebrows.
Now you are prepared this is the trick, I begin taking deep breaths again through the nose... and on the out breath, I begin to let out one long "OM" chant for the whole length of the out breath. so its ooooooooooommmmmmmmmm lol.
Do this for a while until you can really feel its effect on your whole being, full breath in long OM out...then when you feel ready (and you will just know) return to natural breathing and begin to internalise the "OM" so its happening within you subtle awareness, just imagine it coming from deep within you and try and hear it with your whole being ...and within a very very short time of this I find I just melt out of the physical... Brilliant.
Like I said my plan wasn't to AP I was meditating and just trying to feel and blend with the power of all creation that is according to most religions is the sound that created the universe, from the unmanifest to the manifest...so the power of creation emanating from what "Frank" would have called "phase 4" or beyond really, prior to all existance.
The OM The Amen, the holly ghost...what ever you prefer to call it lol.
Anyway it would be intereseting if this works for anyone else. The preperation is just how i move into it but you could use what ever prepares you I guess, aslong as you are in a relaxed and in a subtle state, the OM done in this way could take you the next step :-D
Enjoy! x
If you would like to try a really unique experience, listen to this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=buYFPZuiZHc. It is an Ohm Chant that was said to originally be by the Dalai Lama, but it turns out it was done by Hein Bratt. It is a good Mp3 sound experience. It led to a very peaceful Phase for me. The visuals I had were of very soft colors, transforming into clouds then rising until they met some kind of apex then my entire vison went to pure white light.
This technique is a combination of pranayama, om japa and the first part of shambhavi mudra. Perhaps you would be interested in yoga if you do not already practice. Here is a helpful website just in case you are interested:

Is it !?? lol i do have an interest in yoga but have had no training.
Thanks guys, all good stuff. The interesting thing is after posting I went through the process in order to AP/Phase what ever you like to call it and found because my attention was on the intent instead of the OM it didn't work as easily, so i found the paradox is to concentrate on the OM to achieve the other..!

Man! that makes my chest throat (and weirdly my shoulders? :? lol) Buzzz!!!! thanks :-)
normally it takes me 20-30 minutes to tune in while listening to binaural beats, etc.. i put a track or two into winamp and set it to play in a loop. i uploaded another track you might enjoy. the chanting is intense, but the cymbals tend to almost startle me sometimes, although it might work well to keep your mind conscious. the chant is very traditional -IMO- so some might find it a bit ominous sounding.
