Hi, I'm Dave, (djed are the initials to my full name) thought I would give a background so you know where I am coming from.
The 'Out-of-body' experiences I had over a span of seven years were classic, using no method but meditation, using a mantra from the Transcendental Meditation program. After about four years I began having spontaneous vibrations, hypnogogic sound and vision.  'Projections' swinging around the bedroom and then taking off through the roof and flying over the countryside. I never told anyone about these experiences.
From a website I discovered the writings of Don de Gracia, who was experienced in OOBE. His writings were mainly from his dream journal. I recognized situations and 'places'  he wrote of, that I could identify with, and this gave me great confidence that someone else was doing this exciting practice.  Also a good many tips on what to do to change the situation etc. I didn't need to look into any method as it was happening for me already.
I stopped meditation after a while and gradually the OOBE's dropped off. And it has been a long time since I have projected,- occasionally I have a lucid dream but they don't last for long. So I became interested in getting 'There' again.
Re-reading Don's writings, I found he used  a method of looking into the back of the eyelids until he saw an opening which he would dive into. Since coming to Astral Pulse I have been reading the different methods people are using nowadays so decided to do the R.Bruce-B.Mercer 90 day course which I have found interesting. I am on my 47 day, -I can get into trance quite well, have vibrations and some visuals and a few sounds so far, and had three lucid dreams. Just taking it easy and see what happens.
Cheers djed

Hallo djed and welcome
Sometimes the conscious and unconscious desire to have OBEs is all that is needed.Yet if that is not enough you can find many different methods for deliberately inducing an OBE here. The method that I am currently most interested in is going out of body directly from a lucid dream. But there are a lot of other options to try and see what works best for you.
