OBE technique that uses sound from a portable heater or fan

[todd421757]

Hello,
I have had my best success when I sleep in a recliner. When I try techniques in a bed, I sometimes fall asleep too quickly. This is the technique I use: Go to bed around 10:00 P.M. with a portable heater, fan, wall-unit air conditioner, or dehumidifier, running in the background. Focus on the fan sound while falling asleep. Eventually you will get to the point when you start waking up at 3:00-5:00 A.M.(this is when the majority of the OBE's occur). Don't get up, just close your eyes. At this time focus on the fan sound again. After some practice you will hear the fan sound but it will sound different. It will sound like a wind fluctuation on a windy day. I try to get it to change pitch around three times in a row. When you hear the fan change sounds the third time, take your mind and raise the sound frequency as high as you can go, while looking up with your closed eyes. You may even hear the sound disappear since the frequency is so high. Hold this higher frequency sound as long as you possibly can. You will then start to feel intense vibrations in your soul body. You can have intense vibrations for up to 15 minutes as long as you hold the high pitch. If you want to have an OBE instead, you must immediately focus on moving your soul to a different location in your bedroom as soon as you feel a tug. The tug usually comes very quickly after the vibrations come. When your soul leaves your body, you will not hear the fan sound anymore, until you reenter you body.

It may take some time until you hear the fan change sounds. With this technique, I have had up to three OBE's in one night. One thing you must remember, you must feel vibrations in your soul in order to have a successful OBE. When you feel the vibrations come, you are within a few seconds of having an OBE. It is very important with this technique to not visualize anything, that will ruin your results. It is all about using your sense of hearing.

For this particular technique, you must feel vibrations in order to have an OBE. Then you separate once you feel the tug which happens around the same time as the vibrations start. I find it impossible to separate during the intense part of the vibrations. It is only possible to separate at the beginning or end of the vibrations. Not in the middle of them.

Other OBE techniques may or may not need vibrations to be present.

Thank you for your input. I will try this method as well.

Ha the world is full with coincidences. 3 days ago the heater fan initiated the sleep paralysis. I didn't actually concentrated on the sound. I started concentrating in it when i was in the paralysis state. And it wasn't higher pitch,actually much lower than real. Also the pitch was variating - wasn't stable (maybe because i was wondering if i should stay awake or try an obe).

[todd421757]

Congratulations, you got the pitch to change. When you get it to change once, you can get it to change again.

The goal is to get it to change. Don't worry if it is a higher or lower pitch. When the pitch changes, it will always be fluctuating for a few seconds (non-rhythmical). It sounds like how wind fluctuates on a windy day.  Then it will go back to the normal fan sound. Then get it to fluctuate again for a few seconds. The goal is to get three pitch changes in a row in a relatively short period of time. Then, you take your mind immediately after the third pitch change and use your will power to raise the sound frequency as high as you can go, while gently rolling your eyes backwards. The vibrations will always occur within a few seconds after this. This always occurs with me 100% of the time. This technique has never failed me as long as I get those three individual pitch changes.

When you get the vibrations with this technique, they will be stronger than any you have gotten before. Also, you can keep the vibrations going for as long as you would like as long as you keep using your mind and use your will power to raise the sound frequency as high as you can go, while gently rolling your eyes backwards. I usually abort the vibrations after 10 minutes because I don't want to overload my body.

The above link has a post by Frank (reply #4) that explains exactly how I perform my fan sound technique. It is amazing that me and him had the exact same technique, and we never even talked to each other before. This tells me it is something others can achieve also.

I have been practicing obe's for 12 years now. This fan sound technique is the greatest technique I have ever used. I will write Frank's description which is the same as my technique. But he says it in an easier to understand way. Enjoy.

"Instead of rolling your eyes upwards as well, just keep them crossed (with eyelids shut) to the point where you feel a kind of strain. Ease off so the straining feeling doesn't get too bad (which can do depending on how much tension you have in that area). Then cross your eyes some more and try and work through the "strain barrier".

Once you can get to the stage where your eyes are crossed and they are comfortable in that position, this should put your focal point of awareness somewhere about in the middle of your head. (Well, provided you can do this without all the usual mind-chatter, in which case your focal point of awareness will remain about the throat region).

Then imagine yourself moving backwards into the expanse of your mind and you should be able to activate your Crown centre. First clue is you feel a slight mental spasm and your ears will shut-down for the duration of the spasm. I leave the air-con fan on at night to keep the air moving around the room so it doesn't get stuffy. So I can always hear the slight whirring of the fan. I use this sound as a signal that my Crown centre is activativating, as the sound of the fan shuts out for an instant which is very noticeable; where the spasm, initially, is hardly noticeable at all.

At the beginning, the slight mental spasm is *very* slight. In other words, you can't feel it all that well. It's like someone quickly (but ever so gently) stroked the inside of your head with a feather and at the same time you perceive a slight swooshing sensation. It is *so* slight that is was actually the shutting out of the sound of the fan that first indicated to me something was happening.

Now I use the fan's sound as an indicator all the time, as this is a very clear indicator that I'm getting close. Because, at the very beginning, the mental spasm is SO slight I can't feel it. However, no matter how slight the spasm, my ears still completely shut down for the half-second or so the spasm is occuring. Which is very noticeable.  

Then, if you relax into it, you should get stronger spasms occuring over a shorter time. Following which the frequency will increase to the point where they become a kind of buzzing sensation. At which point you will feel very light, like your physical body is floating in mid air. At which point you are free to travel."

That was a post before he stopped talking about chakras. Later he refused to acknowledge their existence or incorporate them into exercises due to so much "mystical" misunderstanding about them.

I only bring this up because there were arguments about whether chakra meditation was necessary or not, and towards the end, Frank's stance was "absolutely not". I rarely see these earlier threads where he talks about them.

[todd421757]

Maybe Frank lost the ability to have vibrations and to have an energetic projection into the real time zone. So he changed his stance on chakras as a result.

I believe you lose this ability when you lose your will intensity.

I know this fan technique works reproducibly. I also feel it activates an energy center (chakra) in the head.

I think there's a possibility that people "grow out of" experiencing the vibrations.
That, or you just become so accustomed to them that you don't experience them anymore... which, now that I think about it, probably relates to outgrowing them.  LoL

I can only postulate here about what Frank was thinking... but, everyone is allowed to change their minds about something.
I also don't believe chakras or even anything to do with energy work is required in order to learn astral projection.  I've come about this due to my experiences.  I can only guess that Frank came to the same conclusions through HIS own experiences.

He began making personal strides in his own knowledge of his experiences... the change in his opinion is a reflection of those experiences.

Hi,
Good post Xanth.
I never knew anything of these energy centres or vibrations come to think of it when I first started projecting. Imagine telling a 4 year old( may be 3) about it all, still managed it through intent and desire.
Staying awake in your mind as you let your body go to sleep is all you do basically. Its that simple.
Even a 4 year old could do it ,lol (couldn't resist).
Anyone of the newbies should know this basic fact.
After a while and some exits you hone your personal routine and its at this point where all these silly references are made. Ie RTZ this and F that HS etc.
Try the basics, all you need to know is how to go to sleep, that is it. You do it every night.

I suspect the main reason for the disagreements on energy sensations is because many of you have a projection from a dream state and consequently don't experience energy sensations. Hence the difficulty getting to the RTZ.

The people who are consistently experiencing energy sensations are the ones who project immediately upon falling asleep before they hit the dream state which makes the RTZ easier to get to.

Here is a quote from Major Tom that sums up my view of the topic of energy sensations:

"I know it has become popular to claim "I don't experience energy sensations anymore" or I don't experience vibrations" because people feel that is somehow more advanced.

But usually it's the exact opposite, where the absence of energy sensations means you intiate the transition from a clouded state of awareness, or when you are already deep inside the hypnangogic state.

Transitions do become smoother over time, and it is even possible to keep energy sensations to an almost absolute minimum, but that is something quite different than what usually happens to most people, and quite difficult to do if you initiate the OBE in a controlled manner from the waking state."

Just one problem.
I also project immediately upon falling asleep before i hit the dream state... and I don't ever get any vibrations.  In fact, I stopped experiencing vibrations a couple years ago.  Roughly just after the time I discovered Monroe/Kepples concepts of Phasing.

I don't know why, but my direct experiences seem to really go contrary to what a lot of people say.  LoL
It's probably why I give more credence to my own results than other people's.

Okay cool

Hi,
Tried this again last night having a 3 foot fan on in the room. Made allsorts of noise changes easily from the fans sound with no physical body awareness during these changes. Got to a stage near the exit and being too involved with a visualisation I fell into a dream.
Still no sign of vibrations, but thats just how it is.
This natural fan sound works faster than a binaural or plain white noise. I was changing its tone within 2 mins of lying down.
Was tired though.

Congratulations Szaxx

Good stuff!   You should experiment with other forms/kinds of white noise.

Hi,
Im onto that soon. By analysing the frequencies present in the fans sound I found quite a few harmonically related tones from a few hertz to mid range. I can reproduce the sound reasonably with 4 seperate binaurals but its nit near enough. Once tuned and set to known 'good' frequencies I'll post them so anyone clever enough with audio can reproduce them. I may make an MP3 and put it in dropbox public with the link of course.
May take time to perfect but once its close enough I'll give details.
Lets face it, a fan is great in summer. Winter time, a fan might as well be a little guy shouting supportive compliments. The BIG one aint been switched on for sure.

[todd421757]

Thanks Szaax for planning on making a mp3 sometime in the future. I will definitely download it when it becomes available.
