- MONROE TECHNIQUES FOR ASTRAL PROJECTION
-
-
- NOTE: AFTER HAVING STUDIED MANY METHODS OF ASTRAL
- PROJECTION,I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS THE EASIES 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
- CONCENTRATE 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-SLEEP. MONROE CALLS THIS CONDITION
- A.
-
- STEP THREE:
- 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-SOUTH 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 ABSOLUTELY NO NOISE TO DISTURB YOU.
- 6. ENTER A STATE OF RELAXATION
- 7. GIVE YOURSELF THE MENTAL SUGGESTION THAT YOU WILL REMEMBER
- ALL THAT OCCURS DURING THE UPCOMING SESSION THAT WILL BE
- BENEFICIAL TO YOUR WEEL-BEING. REPEAT THIS FIVE TIMES.
- 8. PROCEED TO BREATH THROUGH YOUR HELF-OPEN MOUTH.
- 9. AS YOU BREATH,CONCENTRATE ON THE VOID IN FRONT OF YOU.
- 10. SELECT A POINT A FOOT AWAY FROM YOUR FOREHEAD,THEN CHANGE
- YOUR POINT OF MENTAL REFERENCE TO SIX FEET.
- 11. TURN THE POINT 90 DEGREES UPWARD BY DRAWING AN IMAGINARY
- LINE PARALLEL TO YOUR BODY AXIS UP AND ABOVE YOUR HEAD. FOCUS
- THERE AND REACH OUT FOR THE VIBRATIONS AT THAT POINT AND
- BRING THEM BACK INTO YOUR BODY.
-
- 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
- CONTROLING 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!
- THICH VAN.
