My method of inducing an OBE

[Alan McDougall]

The mind or soul is definitely separate from the physical brain

"You are one that is aware of the truth of Out of Body phenomenon. I post this exercise for those who should give it a try before trying to debunk something they no nothing about.



         
The Trigger for inducing an Out Of Body Experience

   First lie down in a darkened room in a relaxing position. (Or sit)
   Loosen your clothing and remove all jewelry.
   
   Try to clear your mind and observe what I call eyelid visions
   After a while, you may notice light patterns, peoples, animals colors etc etc
   
             Enter the first phase of sleep but retain awareness

             Wait until you begin to feel a vibration, like a swarm of bees

             Try to move your body. If you are unable to move you have obtained the vital stage of hypnagogic sleep paralysis

Now you might feel pressure on your body like being squeezed by a great hand and an intense buzzing vibration life a swarm of bees,

You might also sense an etity of some source is next to or a very hightened sexual feeling

Let it happen, do not get afraid, the buzzing vibration might get more intense and louder. You have nothing to be scared about just give in to the coming experience

Imagine rolling out of your bed or flouting up to the ceiling if you like

And then , maybe that very night you might leave your body and find yourself floating below the ceiling looking down on your resting sleeping physical body,

Strange as it might seem you might be are of what your physical body and your retrial body are experience at the same moment

Like any explorer you can explore further and future as you become more of an adept at leaving your body

If unsuccesful try the next night/ I find odly that sleep diprivation helps me induce the experience.

Alan

I would say this is a good method and I've had success using similar techniques.  In my opinion this kind of method is better suited to those who have some prior experience of OBE/ludidity, rather than those who are attempting their first projection. Maintaining consciousness into the dream/astral state can be very hard to accomplish and is difficult even for experienced lucid dreamers. For those who are interested in trying supplements, galantamine/choline will increase your chances very dramatically.
