MONROE TECHNIQUES FOR ASTRAL PROJECTION
Note: After having studied many methods of Astral
Projection, I have found that this is the easiest to do.
Monroe teaches these techniques in a week, but they can be
easily done in a day, with proper devotion. I feel that this
technique is superior to others because it doe not require
intense visualization, which many people cannot do.
enjoy!
(Taken from Leaving The Body: A Complete Guide to Astral Projection, D. Scott
Rogo, Prentice Hall Press)
One of the chief barriers people learning to project face is fear. Many are
afraid that they may die, or be harmed in some way as a result of their
projection. Nothing could be farther from the truth. The Cantebury
Institute, reknowned for its occult studies, executed an experiment in
projection involving over 2,000 people. None of them were hurt in any way by
this, and now, three years later, none have complained of any newly arising
problems.
Once you are aware that you cannot be harmed by projecting, you should begin
Monroe's techniques, step by step.
Step one:
Relax the body. According to Monroe, "the ability to relax is the first
prerequisite, perhaps even the first step itself" to having an OBE. (out of
body experience) This includes bothe physical and mental relaxation. Monroe
does not suggest a method of attaining this relaxation, although Progressive
Muscle relaxation, coupled with deep breathing exercises (inhale 1, exhale 2,
inhale 3.... until 50 or 100) are known to work well.
Step two:
Enter the state bordering sleep. This is known as the hypnagogic state. Once
again, Monroe doesn't recommend any method of doing this. One way is to hold
your forearm up, while keeping your upper arm on the bed, or ground. As you
start to fall asleep, your arm will fall, and you will awaken again. With
practice, you can learn to control the Hypnagogic state without using your
arm. Another method is to concentra-te on an object. When other images start
to enter your thoughts, you have entered the Hypnagogic state. Passively watch
these images. This will also help you maintain this state of near-slee-p.
Monroe calls this Condition A.
Step thre-e:
Deepen this state. Begin to clear your mind. Observe your field of vision
through your closed eyes. Do nothing more for a while. Simply look through
your closed eyelids at the blackness in front of you.
After a while, you may notice light patterns. These are simply neural
discharges. They have no specific effect. Ignore them. When they cease, one
has entered what Monroe calls Condition B. From here, one must enter an even
deeper state of relaxation which Monroe calls Condition C-- a state of such
relaxation that you lose all awareness of the body and sensory stimulation.
You are almost in a void in which your only source of stimulation will be your
own thoughts.
The ideal state for leaving your body is Condition D. This is Condition C when
it is voluntarily induced from a rested and refreshed condition and is not the
effect of normal fatigue. To achieve Condition D, Monroe suggests that you
practice entering it in the morning or after a short nap.
Step Four:
Enter a state of Vibration. This is the most important part of the technique,
and also the most vague.
Many projectors have noted these vibrations at the onset of projection. They
can be experienced as a mild tingling, or as is electricity is being shot
through the body. /their cause is a mystery. It may actually be the astral
body trying to leave the physical one.
For entering into the vibrational state, he offers the following directions:
1. Remove all jewelry or other items that might be touching your skin.
2. Darken the room so that no light can be seen through your eyelids, but do
not shut out all light.
3. Lie down with your body along a north-sou-th axis, with your head pointed
toward magnetic north.
4. Loosen all clothing, but keep covered so that you are slightly warmer than
might normally be comfortable.
5. Be sure you are in a location where, and at a time when, there will be
absolut-ely no noise to disturb you.
6. Enter a state of relaxa-tion
7. Give yours-elf the mental sugge-stion that you will remem-ber all that occurs
during the upcom-ing sessi-on that will be beneficial to your weel--being. Repeat
this five times.
8. Proceed to brea-th thro-ugh your helf--open mout-h.
9. As you bre-ath, con-cen-tra-te on the void in fro-nt of you.
10. Select a location about a fo-ot aw-ay from your fo-re-he-ad, th-en ch-an-ge
your po-int of me-nt-al re-fe-re-nce to six fe-et.
11. T-u-rn t-he p-o-i-nt 90 d-e-g-r-e-es u-p-w-a-rd by dra-w-i-ng an i-m-a-g-i-n-a-ry li-ne p-a-r-a-l-l-el to
y-o-ur b-o-dy a-x-is up a-nd a-b-o-ve y-o-ur h-e-a-d. F-o-c-us th-e-re a-nd r-e-a-ch o-ut f-or t-he v-i-b-
r-a-t-i-o-ns at t-h-at p-o-i-nt a-nd br-i-ng t-h-em b-a-ck i-n-to y-o-ur b-ody.
Even if you don't know what these vibrations are, you will know when you have
achieved contact with them.
Step five:
Learn to control the vibrational state. Practice controlling them by mentally
pushing them into your head, down to your toes, making them surge throughout
your entire body, and producing vibrational waves from head to foot. To
produce this wave effect, concentrate of the vibrations and mentally push a
wave out of your head and guide it down your body.
Practice this until you can induce these waves on command.
Once you have control of the vibrational state, you are ready to leave the
body.
Step six:
Begin with a partial seperation. The key here is thought control. Keep your
mind firmly focused on the idea of leaving the body. Do not let it wander.
Stray thought might cause you to lose control of the state.
Now, having entered the vibrational state, begin exploring the OBE by
releasing a hand or a foot of the "second body".
Monroe suggests that you extend a limb until it comes in contact with a
familiar object, such as a wall near your bed.
Then push it through the object. Return the limb by placing it back into
coincidence with the physical one, decrease the vibrational rate, and then
terminate the experiment. Lie quietly until you have fully returned to
normal. This exercise will prepare you for full seperation.
Step seven:
Dissociate yourself from the body. Monroe suggests two methods for this. One
method is to lift out of the body. To do this, think about getting lighter
and lighter after entering this vibrational state. Think about how nice it
would be to float upward. Keep this thought in mind at all costs and let no
extraneous thoughts interrupt it. An OBE will occur naturally at this point.
Another method is the "Rotation method" or "roll-out" technique. When you
have achieved the vibrational state, try to roll over as if you were turning
over in bed. Do not attempt to roll over physically. Try to twist your body
from the top and virtually roll over into your second body right out of your
physical self. At this point, you will be out of the body but next to it.
Think of floating upward, and you should find yourself floating above the
body.
Monroe suggets you begin with the lift-out method, but argues that both are
equally efficacious.
If, after all this, you still can't project, I recommend purchasing Leaving
The Body, by R. Scott Rogo. It only costs $7.95 and contains another eight
or so techniques. Not all techniques work for everyone, but chances are
you'll find one that works for you in this book.
Good luck!
