tell me how it would with this please

[Tongo]

So I may have a new technique which allows me to enter theta brainwave state. I do this while gazing with eyes open while sitting at my computer like now. I am figuring I can go into theta (deeply relaxed) and gently apply an exit technique but I feel my eyes would have to be closed for this part which I am worried will disrupt things if I suddenly closed them after 20 or something minutes of  deep relaxation. I could also try phasing out but this would mean I would have to close my eyes for that also. So the q's I have are these:

- if I suddenly closed my eyes deep in theta to attempt an exit technique would it disrupt my state of mind and progress?
- can you actually OBE with your eyes open?
- does anyone do deep relaxation with their eyes open then shift to eyes closed when it comes time to attempt to seperate?

Thx in advance.

Generally speaking, in order to project, you need to seperate your perception from body awareness. If you are aware of your body enough to close your eyes, you are not there. Basically from the moment you close your eyes it will be like a reset; if relaxing before that time in order to get into the right state of mind is helpful, it might not be a bad thing, but it is sort of over and above what is necessary.

- can you actually OBE with your eyes open?

No, but I am sure he can!



I have heard stories of people who manage to project while driving, but that idea is utterly incomprehensible to me. I feel like if you can project from such states, something is either profoundly off in your "tuning", and you might be a bit unstable to begin with, or you have somehow gained an edge that no one I have ever really encountered has managed to get.

I mean if you were a Sadhu, that might be commonplace, but then spending 14 hours a day in meditation will change anyone.

- does anyone do deep relaxation with their eyes open then shift to eyes closed when it comes time to attempt to seperate?

Again for me, It is always closed, but there are tons of techniques people use, and it wouldn't suprise me if some do. I mean it couldn't be detrimental, other than extending the time your practice takes, since you are essentially "reseting" when you close your eyes.
