7/30/2019 There Are Numerous Ways of Achieving Etheric

1/11

There are numerous ways of achieving etheric / astral projection, and

there are many books on the subject. Here I will only describe the most

common and / or the most useful methods that I have come across.

Different people will find different methods more suited to themselves, so

it's simply a case of experimenting until you find the one that works best for

you.

One thing that is consistant throughout all the projection techniques, is

that the energy you have in your body can effect the ability to project, the

lenth of time spent 'out of the body', and the frequency which can be

reached.

The methods :

The Rope Technique :

This technique was developed by Robert Bruce. I have included itbecause I find it to be one of the easiest techniques around. The speed at

which it works is also surprising. Also this method does not require the

ability to visualise .

This projection method will give you an etheric projection. The duration

of this projection, in real time, will depend on the level ofchakra

development and energy flow you have attained.

As with all the techniques described, a deep level of relaxation is

required.

Getting the feel of the Rope

Pin a length of ribbon, string or rope to the ceiling above you. Have it

hanging within arms reach so you can easily reach up and touch it. Reach

out and touch it frequently, until you are used to where it is in your mind.

This ribbon is only a tactile aide. By being able to reach out and touch the

ribbon, you used to the spatial coordinates of where the invisible,

imaginary ROPE is. This grows both in your mind and hence as a thought

form, making it easier to imagine yourself reaching out and climbing theROPE with your imaginary HANDS.

Note:

You do NOT have to actually visualize, or see, the ROPE at any time, just

know where it is supposed to be. This method uses NO visualization at

all.Reaching out and pulling on this invisible, imaginary ROPE with your


2/11

imaginary HANDS shifts the bodily awareness induced point of

consciousness, out of the body, with a strong natural action that puts direct

pressure on one point of the etheric body.

The Technique

1.Do a relaxation exercise thoroughly, until you are completely settled.

This should only take a few minutes, don't overdo it.

2. Reach out with your imaginary HANDS and pull yourself, hand over

hand, up the strong, invisible, imaginary ROPE hanging above you. Try

and imagine the feel of a strong, thick, coarse rope in your HANDS.

Don't try and visualise this ROPE! I want you to imagine you are reaching

out and climbing this ROPE in the pitch dark, so you can't see it at all, you

just know where it is and can imagine the feel of it. Visualisation wastes

valuable mental energy that can be better put to use exerting directpressure on youretheric body.

You will feel a slight dizzy sensation inside you as you do this, specifically

in your upper torso. This is caused by exerting dynamic pressure on the

etheric body. The dizzy sensation comes from the etheric body loosening.

This feeling of vertigo will intensify the more you pull on the rope.

Very Important Note (1): This dizzy feeling and any feelings ofpressure or

vertigo, etc, caused by your mental action of pulling on the ROPE MUST

be carefully noted by you. Learn the EXACT mental action you are doing to

cause this vertigo. You will have to train your mental climbing action to

cause this feeling. So, the first few times you try this ROPE method,

concentrate on finding the right mental action to do this. Once you learn

what it is you are doing to cause this, and can recreate it at will, you are

really starting to get somewhere.

Very Important Note (2): IGNORE *ALL* SENSATION YOU FEEL

DURING PROJECTION or it will distract you, break your concentration,

and ruin your chances for projection. Concentrate on the single act of

climbing yourROPE to the TOTAL exclusion of everything else. Puteverything you have into this one action, but don't tense up, it must be all

mental.

3. Keep climbing, hand over hand, ever upwards, and you will feel the

heavy sensation come over you. The pressure you are exerting on your

etheric body will force you into the trance state. Ignore this when it

happens and concentrate on what you are doing.

4. Keep climbing and you will feel yourchakras open in response to the

pressure, don't stop.

5. Next you will feel the vibrations start, your whole body will seem to be

vibrating and you will feel paralysed. Concentrate, single minded, on

climbing yourrope, don't stop.

6. Next you will feel yourself coming free of your body. You will buzz

slightly as you feel yourself coming out of your body. You will exit your

body in the direction of your imaginary rope and will be hovering above

your body. You're free at last!

Note: Do *NOT* allow yourself to break concentration when the vibrations

start. They are a natural effect caused by energy coursing through all the

hundreds ofmajor and minor chakras in your body. If you do find

yourself being distracted by this, spend more time doing concentration

exercises until you overcome this problem.

Good Luck...

The Lift / Roll Out Technique :

This is probably the most popular projection technique around. This

will also give an etheric projection. This projection method will give you

an etheric projection. The duration of this projection, in real time, will

depend on the level ofchakra development and energy flow you have

attained.


required.Once you have reached a very deep level of relaxation (trance

state), you must then use your powers of visualisation .Simply imagine

yourself floating upwards out of your body. Tell yourself all the time how

nice it is to do this, how pleasant, how great it would be to be floating out of

the body. Continue to image this floating feeling.

It often helps to to imagine an aid or accessory to this floating process.

For instance, you may imagine hundreds of small birds all flying up and

pulling their own little pieces of string which are all attached to your non-

physical body. All the time they are pulling you gently out of the physicalbody. You can use any adaptation to this - what ever helps you imagine

that you are floating up.

As you imagine this you will feel the vibrations beginning - ignore them

totally. Simply continue to imagine yourself floating upwards.

After a relatively short while you will feel yourself come free of the


4/11

physical body. This is often quite a sudden sensation as the non-

physical body breaks free of the physical body. The only analogy I can

think of as to describe this feeling would be how a 'glob' in a lava lamp

would feel like - it's been trying to go up for a while and the pressure has

been gradually getting greater, and then suddenly it breaks away and

floats gently up and away.

You will then find yourself outside your physical body.

A common variation on this technique is the roll out method.

This is very similar, except that instead of imagining that you are floating

upward, imagine that you are rolling sideways out of your body. Feel

yourself gently rocking from side to side. Very slowly at first, but gradually

building the momentum until eventually you will reach that critical point

where you will actually break free from, and actually roll out of, your

physical body

The Anchor Technique :This is anotherpopular technique, which

produces an etheric projection.

The basis of this method is to focus on an anchor point outside of the

physical body. There are two basic variations to this technique - the fixed

anchor, and the moving anchor.


required .

Once you have reached a very deep level of relaxation (trance state),

you must then use your powers of visualisation .

The Fixed Anchor

Although not mentioned as frequently as the moving anchor

technique, I find this the easier if the two methods.

After reaching the trance state, focus on a point outside of the physical

body (e.g. at the end of the bed). You can either simply focus on a point in

space, or you can (and I find this much easier) imagine an object at that

point (it usually helps if it is a familiar object - I always imagine a tobaccotin).

Once you can clearly see the focus point in your minds eye, 'feel' how

solid it is. Try pushing it around with your mind, try pulling it, or moving it.

The focus point should be totally solid and entirely 'fixed' where it is. No

amount of mental manipulation should be able to move it.


5/11

Once the focus point is totally fixed, imagine reaching out with your arms

and grabbing hold of the focus point (object). Remember, this WILL NOT

MOVE. Now, try pulling the object towards you, gently at first, and then

harder and harder. Gradually as you pull you will feel yourself moving

towards the focus point (instead of vice versa). Finally you will find yourself

at the focus point outside your physical body - Presto, you've done it.

The Moving Anchor

After reaching the trance state, imagine an object about 6 feet in front of

your eyes (assuming that you are lying down). Once again, make this a

familiar object. Now, feel this object pulling at you (like a magnet). Once

you can see the object clearly in your minds eye, and feel the pull of the

object on you, begin to move the object slowly towards you. Just a smallamount at first (perhaps 6" to a foot), as the object moves towards you feel

the pull getting stronger. Now move it back again (the pull gets weaker as

you do). Now repeat the process 5 or 6 times moving the object closer

each time and feeling the pull becoming stronger and stronger as the

object comes closer.

Once you are comfortable with the movement of the object, begin the

process again, only this time the movement of the object should be a fluid

motion, and as the object moves to and fro it should be like a wave. You

should also feel this wave on yourself as the pull gets stronger and weaker

and stronger again. Finally, as the object virtually reaches you, the

strength of the pulling force, combined with the wave like motion will simply

pull you right out of yourphysical body - Wahay, you've done it again.

Monroe Techniques ForAstral Projection

Anon

Note: After having studied many methods of AstralProjection, I have found that this is the easiest to do. Monroeteaches these techniques in a week, but they can be easilydone in a day, with proper devotion. I feel that this techniqueis superior to others because it doe not require intensevisualization, which many people cannot do. enjoy!

(Taken from Leaving The Body: A Complete Guide to AstralProjection, D. Scott Rogo, prentice Hall Press)

One of the chief barriers people learning to project face isfear. Many are afraid that they may die, or be harmed insome way as a result of their projection. Nothing could befarther from the truth. The Canterbury Institute, renowned forits occult studies, executed an experiment in projection

involving over 2,000 people. None of them were hurt in anyway by this, and now, three years later, none havecomplained of any newly arising problems.

Once you are aware that you cannot be harmed byprojecting, you should begin monroe's techniques, step by


7/11

step.

Step one:

Relax the body. According to Monroe, "the ability to relax isthe first prerequisite, perhaps even the first step itself" tohaving an OBE. (out of body experience) This includes bothphysical and mental relaxation. Monroe does not suggest amethod of attaining this relaxation, although ProgressiveMuscle relaxation, coupled with deep breathing exercises(inhale 1, exhale 2, inhale 3...until 50 or 100) are known towork well.

Step two:

Enter the state bordering sleep. This is known as thehypnagogic state. Once again, Monroe doesn't recommendany method of doing this. One way is to hold your forearmup, while keeping your upper arm on the bed, or ground. Asyou start to fall asleep, your arm will fall, and you will awakenagain. With practice, you can learn to control the Hypnagogic

state without using your arm. Another method is toconcentrate on an object. When other images start to enteryour thoughts, you have entered the Hypnagogic state.Passively watch these images. This will also help youmaintain this state of near-sleep. Monroe calls this ConditionA.

Step three:

Deepen this state. Begin to clear your mind. observe yourfield of vision through your closed eyes. Do nothing more fora while. Simply look through your closed eyelids at theblackness in front of you. After a while, you may notice lightpatterns. These are simply neural discharges. They have nospecific effect. Ignore them. When they cease, one has


8/11

entered what Monroe calls Condition B. From here, onemust enter an even deeper state of relaxation which Monroecalls Condition C- a state of such relaxation that you lose allawareness of the body and sensory stimulation. You are

almost in a void in which your only source of stimulation willbe your own thoughts.

The ideal state for leaving your body is Condition D. This isCondition C when it is voluntarily induced from a rested andrefreshed condition and is not the effect of normal fatigue. Toachieve Condition D, Monroe suggests that you practiceentering it in the morning or after a short nap.

Step Four:

Enter a state of Vibration. This is the most important part ofthe technique, and also the most vague.

Many projectors have noted these vibrations at the onset ofprojection. They can be experienced as a mild tingling, or asis electricity is being shot through the body. /their cause is a

mystery. It may actually be the astral body trying to leave thephysical one. For entering into the vibrational state, he offersthe following directions:

Remove all jewelry or other items that might be touchingyour skin.

Darken the room so that no light can be seen through youreyelids, but do not shut out all light.

Lie down with your body along a north-south axis, with yourhead pointed toward magnetic north.Loosen all clothing, but keep covered so that you are

slightly warmer than might normally be comfortable.Be sure you are in a location where, and at a time when,

there will be absolutely no noise to disturb you.


9/11

Enter a state of relaxationGive yourself the mental suggestion that you will remember

all that occurs during the upcoming session that will bebeneficial to your well-being. Repeat this five times.

Proceed to breath through your half-open mouth.As you breath, concentrate on the void in front of you.Select a point a foot away from your forehead, then change

your point of mental reference to six feet.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 thatpoint and bring them back into your body.

Even if you don't know what these vibrations are, you willknow when you have achieved contact with them.

Step five:

Learn to control the vibrational state. Practice controllingthem by mentally pushing them into your head, down to yourtoes, making them surge throughout your entire body, andproducing vibrational waves from head to foot. To produce

this wave effect, concentrate of the vibrations and mentallypush 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 readyto leave the body.

Step six:

Begin with a partial separation. The key here is thoughtcontrol. Keep your mind firmly focused on the idea of leavingthe body. Do not let it wander. Stray thought might causeyou to lose control of the state.

Now, having entered the vibrational state, begin exploring


10/11

the OBE by releasing a hand or a foot of the "second body".Monroe suggests that you extend a limb until it comes incontact 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 thevibrational rate, and then terminate the experiment. Liequietly until you have fully returned to normal. This exercisewill prepare you for full separation.

Step seven:

Dissociate yourself from the body. Monroe suggests two

methods for this. One method is to lift out of the body. To dothis, think about getting lighter and lighter after entering thisvibrational state. Think about how nice it would be to floatupward. Keep this thought in mind at all costs and let noextraneous thoughts interrupt it. An OBE will occur naturallyat 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 attemptto roll over physically. Try to twist your body from the top andvirtually roll over into your second body right out of yourphysical self. At this point, you will be out of the body butnext to it. Think of floating upward, and you should findyourself floating above the body.

Monroe suggests you begin with the lift-out method, but

argues that both are equally efficacious.

If, after all this, you still can't project, I recommendpurchasing Leaving The Body, by R. Scott Rogo. It onlycosts $7.95 and contains another eight or so techniques. Not
