Could 'Phasing' be a bad idea?

[Firmitas]

Hello everyone,

I have been attempting the traditional style of AP through meditation and then projection for about 2 months now. I recently came across a lot of posts by Frank (which were extremely interesting/helpful btw thank you Frank) that deal with Phasing. I got the whole Gateway experience set by the monroe institute and just started practicing phasing through the guided meditation. To be honest, this form of AP feels like it makes a lot more sense to me personally than the traditional exit techniques i.e the rope technique or rolling over. I have always had a very strong imagination and so far am doing fairly well with these cd's from monroe.
However, the thing I am concerned about is, should i focus on projecting the traditional way before attempting it this way? I am curious because I cant find many topics on Phasing at all! I honestly want this more than anything else and I'm trying to find whats right for me.
anyway sorry for the length of the question, any feedback at all would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

First off... there's no such thing as a "bad idea" in regards to HOW and WHAT METHOD you choose to use to project.  

Secondly, if you have a very good imagination, then Phasing is probably the better choice for you... well, more to the point, "Mental Rundowns" are the better choice for you.

I wrote both of those mainly for the Mental Rundown.  Give'em a quick read.  

As for doing a classic OBE versus doing Phasing...
They're just different methods for the same thing.  One isn't better than the other.
Although, one is better than the other FOR YOU.  Try one... if it doesn't work after a month or so, try the other.  

You won't find much around the net on "Phasing" specifically... it was the term coined and used by Robert Monroe.  Frank used it as well.
Other names that I have found on the net for this method are: "Lucid Dream Projection" and "WILDs" (Wake Induced Lucid Dreams).

Thank you Xanth, I'll give them a read
After I complete 1 of the exercises I always find myself wanting to do more but I read some posts where a few people were saying overdoing it could be a bad idea. Should I just keep it to once a day?

I really appreciate your feedback!

I know of some people who "attempt" to project multiple times a day.
I don't see any harm in it doing it as much as you're comfortable doing it.
