You do not have to be in a trance for hours on end to see any benefits. My advice is to just practice whenever you get the chance. Even just 30 minutes a day, or every other day, or just making some kind of effort will help you. Also you do not have to be in trance to do energy work. You can do it any time. Just be sure to be in a situation that allows you to give your attention to it. Any time you are waiting around, sitting at a desk,etc (I really have no idea what your day is like but you should get the idea) you can do a little energy work. Just practice being aware and moving your energy. When I first started energy work I did not have much time. I usually did it while sitting at red lights on my way to and from work and school and while sitting in class. This may be a little difficult for you at first, but with practice you will be able to move your energy easily.

Good Luck!

I find it useful to practice at a certain time each day. This increases the feelings of reassuring homeness that help you OBE. You should set a certain time each day.

Oh I very much realize that it is not necessary to be in a trance to practice energy movement techniques, I have just found that it is easier and more peaceful that way.

Hey, I am pretty new to Energy development, I became interested in it (and astral projection) because these topics have come into my life in some way or another, off and on for years.  I found RB's site online a few years back and immediately ordered it and read most of it.  I was very pleased because it wasn't filled with a ton of Eastern and/or other cultures confusing terms/mumbo jumbo.(no offense intended)
 I procrastinated for a while but am now back on track and trying to work with meditation and MBA.  I have had difficulty getting to a trance state in the past, but I tried a suggestion by omega yesterday(mind awake/body asleep) and was very pleased to experience an easy entry into a trance.  I experienced some intermittent body vibrations and tried to concentrate on some MBA/Tactile Imaging with some luck.  I am not in the best place and do not have as much time available as I would like to work on this, as I am currently serving in Iraq.  I was hoping for some general suggestions, and ideas that may help me.  The eventual goal for me is pretty advanced energetic development and astral projection capabilities.  
ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED!! THANKS IN ADVANCE.
