Greetings mentalist,
Welcome to our forums!
The cornerstone of all OBE and Astral projection is the "mind wake, body asleep" state. Once achieved, it is simply a matter of choosing an effective exit (OBE) or projection (Astral projection or phasing) technique.
Achieving this state intentionally from a fully waking state is difficult to say the least. However, by waking a couple of hours earlier than normal, e.g. by setting an alarm clock, your body will already be extremely relaxed and wanting to go back to sleep. It is therefore simply a matter of allowing your body to go back to sleep while keeping your mind alert.
With best regards,
Adrian.
I never OBE but you have to practice,practice,and practice! Practice geting into trances untill you can get into a trance by your intentional ambition.
As for your subject question, doing a trance then an exit, the time is completly up to you. Find a time out of your busy sceduall *spelling?* where there is:
1.No distractions such as a T.V. in the back ground, and there is no construction work :)
2.A time of the day where you are tirerd from work or not
and you should be ok.
Try geting into a trance some time before you normaly sleep. So my point is to try it before you sleep. Give that two trys(two days) and if that does not work, just try another part of the day.
Once you find the best time of the day for you, start practicing it daily and make sure you have the ambition, desire, and heart for OBE.
Hope that helps!
My vote: early morning
Reason:
1) projecting at night can be an eerie experience; and
2) you'll tend to fall asleep at night
In the morning, you've had all the real sleep you're gonna get. You're in that perfect drowsy, inbetween state for a projection. My recommendation is to go to bed early enough to get a full night's sleep, then set your "alarm" one hour early to something non-jarring; i.e., music, white noise, nature sounds, etc. Then do your thing!
Greetings mentalist,
For everyone it is different. If you're a morning person, try the alarm technique. If you're a night person, practice in the evening. You're probably going to find that your first projections will come by accident whilst dreaming, and probably after a night of heavy practicing. It takes a very long time before we can lie down, meditate, enter that stage where we're practically asleep, and then take off.
You can induce the projection during a dream. The key to it is to make yourself aware that you're dreaming and to remember to do it. Once you become aware during a dream, stare at/focus on one particular thing in the dream. It can be a colour, an object, a building structure, etc. Keep focusing on it until the dream scenery fades away. You will find yourself in either the astral, the real time zone, a lucid dream, or a combination thereof.
You will find distortions at first. You may question whether you are really OB or not. You may even see yourself in a combination of your house/apartment and different place altogether. But this is common, and the more you practice, the less distortions you will have.
Also, you may project more on nights where you know you don't have to work/go to school the next day.
Be sure to do the NEW system. It will drastically and rapidly increase your skills and energy levels, just like fighting a bunch of powerful enemies over and over again in a role-playing game (if you've played one you'll know what I mean).
Take care and good luck,
Yo people, im new to this place-pretty funky here actually, spent AGES going through everything on here.
I had my first (maybe second) successful obe last monday, like everyone, i thought it was amazing, out of this world and i was very very pleased. But i just wanted to know, what time during the day are ppl having successful obe's?-mine was in the morning after about 8 hours but im hearing that ppl are pulling it off before sleep and during the day at like 12-3pm?? is this possible, because i always thought it worked on a similaer principle to lucid dreams and u need to be quite deep consciously. I thought this deep level could only be achieved after sleeping-maybe ppl are having naps before attempts?
