Hello everyone :) I'm new Haha :P
So... I'm trying to astral travel for about 4 months, but i have been doing it wrong.I don't know how to even enter the trance state.
So today i was trying to do it, and i was counting to 600 and then i imagined pulling myself up the rope, and i felt a tingling sensation, but it just disappeared, but i wasn't even in the trance...And this was the 1st time.Can someone please tell me how to enter it, I'm lying on the side, the same as i do, when i go to sleep.Then i close my eyes, and sometimes look at the black, or count, but it doesn't work :S any suggestions?
Hi Pungiish,
The problem with the word "trance" is that everyone seems to have a different idea of what a trance is! I'm guessing that by "trance" you mean the frame of mind right the whole OBE process starts. In Monroe-speak, this is the "Focus 10" state, also known as "Mind Awake, Body Asleep."
It's all about finding a balance. If you are too active, you will stay awake and nothing will happen. If you are too passive, sleep will overtake you. It can be very tricky!
The best resource I've found for obtaining and recognize focus 10 is this paper by Ashes:

Note: he talks about The Monroe's Institute's Hemi-Sync tapes, but you don't need the tapes to reach F10. I actually prefer to do it without the tapes.
Have fun!
Thanks, i will check that out :)

Fred (Ashes) wrote the tutorial for the Monroe Institute, but it is a brilliant treatise on F10, in and of itself, if you ask me.
