Projection Training
To trigger the projection of the Astral body, while fully
conscious, there are four major requirements:
1.Relaxing your body 100% while staying awake.
2.Concentrating 100% on what you are doing.
3. Having enough energy available.
4.Pressuring the astral body to separate.
Together, these four things will trigger an OOBE.
Below are exercises that will teach how to relax the body,
concentrate, clear the mind, raise energy, stimulate the
chakras and enter the trance state.
Calming The Mind
Relaxation
You must learn and master, a full body relaxation
exercise. If you know one already it can be adapted to
suit. Here is a very simple one:
Sit, or lie down, and relax. Starting with the feet, tense
and relax them. Continue this with calves, thighs, hips,
stomach, chest, arms, neck and face until your whole
body is deeply relaxed. Go over this a few times, making
sure your muscles stay relaxed.
Note: Deep physical relaxation is the key to bringing on
the trance state, i.e., deep relaxation CAUSES the trance
state. Once you are in the trance state, projection on the
astral body is relatively easy.
Contemplation
When you begin meditation, you will be plagued with
thoughts from your surface mind, which acts like a huge
Memo pad. It carries messages, reminders, pressing
thoughts, problems to solve, unresolved issues etc. It is
constantly busy, it NEVER rests, thoughts, thoughts,
thoughts, one after the other, all clamouring for
attention.
Before you attempt to clear your mind, with the breath
awareness exercise below, it is wise to deal with these
surface thoughts by the act of contemplating them. Sit
comfortably, do the relaxation exercise and think,
nothing more, just think. Search out the strongest
thoughts in your mind and examine them, try to resolve
and understand them.
Note the word: THINKING. Contemplation does not
involve clearing the mind, or visualisation. It requires you
to THINK, deeply and thoroughly, about something, to
gain a deeper understanding of its nature and how it
relates to you, an insight.
Breath Awareness Meditation
This is a simple form of meditation. It will clear your
mind and focus your awareness.
Sit or lie down, close your eyes, do the relaxation exercise
and clear your mind. Breathe deeply and slowly and focus
on the breath entering and leaving your body. Feel it
coming in and feel it going out. Focus your whole
attention on your lungs and the breathing process. This
simple action is enough to occupy your surface mind.
Firmly push intruding thoughts away, as they begin,
before they can gather strength and distract you.
Breath awareness occupies the surface mind and allows
you to think on a much deeper level.
Surface Thoughts
Sounds are very distracting, they generate surface
thoughts. A car horn will generate: "Who's that, what's
happening?" A door opening will generate: "Who's
coming in or going out?" The surface mind is always very
curious about what is happening around you. It wants to
know all, and it wants to inform you of every little thing
going on around you. It will pressure you to open your
eyes, get up and go find out what's happening.
Don't allow this to happen. USE these annoying,
attention getting thoughts as a training aide. By learning
to quash and ignore them, your powers of concentration
will grow.
Stop these annoying little thoughts as they begin, before
they can take root and grow into something stronger.
For example:
Who's that, what's happening? becomes: "Who's
th............"
Who's coming in, or going out? becomes: "Who's
co............"
With practise the start of these distracting thoughts will
get shorter and shorter until you get:
Wh....?........?.......... and " W...?................... "
And finally:
.......?........?...........................?...................
Many people say they can't clear their mind as they are
too easily distracted by all the small noises that surround
them, in normal day to day activity. DON'T use music or
other sounds to blanket these out, USE them for
training. It's like weight lifting, if you train with feather
dusters your strength will not increase.
You need to
master this, the hard way, if you want to give your mind
real muscle.
Slowly but surely you will master the ability to clear your
mind. Once accomplished, you will have gained a
valuable mental tool. You will be able to concentrate
100% of your attention, on one task, to the TOTAL
exclusion of everything else.
I sometimes meditate, in the trance state, successfully, in
a noisy, crowded room with little children crawling all
over me. NOTHING breaks my concentration.
Concentration
You must be able to concentrate and focus completely
on what you are doing. Lack of concentration is the
single, biggest cause of projection failure. It affects every
aspect of projection, from the relaxation exercise, to the
trance state and actual projection.
To test your ability to concentrate: Sit and relax. Close
your eyes and clear your mind of ALL thought. Breath
slowly and deeply and count each breath, at the end of
each exhale. Hold it totally BLANK, apart from the
counting, for as long as you can. See how long you can
hold it like this. Be honest with yourself, every time a
thought intrudes start counting from the beginning
again.
You are doing well if can do this for longer than ten
breaths. Ten breaths is, however, not long enough. Don't
worry though, this can be improved on with the exercises
below.
Concentration Exercise (1)
After image retention: Relax, calm your mind, and look
at a candle or a light bulb. Place this light in front of you,
a couple of feet away, and stare fixedly at it for a minute
or two. Close your eyes and concentrate on the after
image this will generate behind your closed eyelids. Try
and keep sight of it for as long as possible. Use breath
awareness to keep the mind clear, while you are doing
this. Try and make the after image grow, instead of fading
away.
Concentration Exercise (2)
One point stare: Pick a spot on a wall and gaze at it.
Don't focus on it, just gaze at it gently. Clear your mind
of ALL thoughts and forcibly hold it blank. Concentrate
HARD, on breath awareness while you are doing this.
When you feel a thought beginning, push it away, don't
let it finish! Hold this for as long as you can. Do this
several times a day, or more if you can.
Concentration Exercise (3)
Energy breathing: Sit and relax. Close your eyes and clear
your mind. Do the breath awareness exercise and imagine
the air you are breathing IN is brightly coloured energy
of your favourite colour. Imagine the air you are
breathing OUT is a murky Grey, full of toxic waste. This is
a purification exercise. It stimulates your chakras into
absorbing energy on the inhale and getting rid of
negative energy on the exhale.
Note: Try your best not to tense up while you are doing
these concentration exercises, it is ALL mental. In the
beginning, it may feel as if you have to tense your mind
into a tight ball to stop it thinking, but in time you will
find the opposite to be true. When you get used to it,
clearing the mind is VERY relaxing.
