Give RB's "Yo-yo" technique a shot.
(http://www.tower.net.au/~rsb/guides/oobe/oobe_8.htm#14)
I haven't projected yet (to my knowledge), but then I'm not really trying to - but I know when I've tried this after doing a little energy-raising (for the heck of it, and with little preparation), I quickly get vibrations and numbness (which I usually shake off, and even then they often return).
Good luck!
I tried the puppet technique last night and, although I think it has alot of great traits, I found that keeping a SINGLE point of focus, outside of the body much easier to maintain. The rope technique focuses you in one area (the area where your hands are). This is also done with the yo-yo and "bouncing cube" techniques.
The greatest for trance inducement and getting me "on the edge of an OBE" is are still the "wheel" and "rotation within the body" techniques.
I've been attempting conscious exits for some time now, and have not succeeded yet (that I can remember.) The other day I conjured up a new technique sort of like ROPE. I imagine a giant puppet 'paddle' above me, with strings attached to my 7 primary energy centers, both hands and both feet. A giant hand is pulling on the paddle with gentle but constant pressure. If some part of your body needs more of a pull than others, the paddle can be 'tipped' to compensate. So far, I still haven't succeeded but I just thought of this a couple days ago; in other words, it's brand new.
Let me know if this works well for anyone. =)
Love and Peace,
Andy
