Classification of Conscious Projection Techniques
Preparations. There are
techniques, called basic techniques, related more to the preparation
of the future projector and to the basic method to produce a conscious
projection. However, as for the derived techniques or formal systems
to induce a projection, one must start by classifying them.
Hundreds. There are hundreds
of old, new, and perfected techniques to attain lucid OBEs in experiences
brought about by one's own will. All of them are different
Ideal. The ideal method,
or a single, safe, simple, and entirely effective formula to leave
the body still does not exist. A technique that has been approved,
found feasible by all, and adequate for everyone does not exist
and we do not expect such a thing to develop very soon. This is
due to the existence of multitude of personalities, physical constitutions,
human characters, and individual behaviors. This is also due to
the existence of three highly complex non-physical bodies (holochakra
or energetic body, psychosoma or "astral" body, and mentalsoma
or mental body) which have not developed equally and are not organized
in terms of evolution as individual instruments of each consciousness.
Inadequacies. Although the
newer methods are superbly superior to those used, for instance,
half a century ago, they still are inadequate to meet the needs
of all individuals of different sex, age, biotype, personality,
temperament and conduct. If there were one universal method, conscious
projection would be an asset to all individuals in many societies
and on several levels of civilization since time immemorial. Presently,
we have to make do with the fragmented knowledge we now possess.
There are fields of the science of projectiology in which we are
still ignorant, and further research is needed.
Reasons. There are many
correct ways of inducing conscious projections in a good human environment;
therefore you should not use a single OBE technique, but use everything
that will help you to healthily attain your objective to have conscious
projections with recall.
Attributes. OBE techniques
are based on one or several attributes of yourself, such as imagination,
visualization, mental concentration, etc. You, a candidate to conscious
projection, must check, with self-criticism, which is your best
attribute or the most versatile, in order to use it as a basic tool.
Abilities. Physical and
mental relaxation, clearing the mind naturally, and redirecting
attention out of the human body are the most necessary and promising
abilities you can present as a candidate to great conscious projections.
Self-confidence. On the
other hand, if you are confident that a certain technique will work
for you, it probably will.
Combinations. Sometimes,
it is better to combine several different methods to leave the body,
adapting them to your character, circumstances, etc. However, any
OBE technique, to be truly effective, tests your will-power in terms
of being a fearless, disciplined and persevering person.
Chances. Once we assume
that there is no universal method which would work for everyone
to attain conscious projection, we will present many different kinds
of techniques. It is convenient for you to know them all in order
to ensure a greater chance of finding the one which will be more
efficient and adequate for you or which will, at least, inspire
you to search for your own method.
Compensation. Rehearse all
methods and accessory means available (such as bioenergy control,
etc.) because, on a long term basis, conscious projection will reward
all your sacrifices.
Adequacy. As you will realize,
there are techniques that can help a specific group, since they
adapt better to the conditions pertaining to that group. For example:
the carbon dioxide technique is for people who have good lungs,
the hetero-hipnosis is for people who are impressionable, the projectiogenic
images technique is for those with an artistic personality, the
sexual relation technique is for the couple-projector, the physiological
method helps those who have a strong will, the assisted projection
technique is for people who are developed mediums, the projective
dream technique is for those who dream extensively, and so on.
Sleep. Some techniques can
only be used by those who sleep alone, otherwise they will disturb
anyone nearby.
Characteristics. There are
techniques for the aided projector, i.e., those who practice the
projection with someone else nearby, such as: sexual relation and
massages. The veteran projector can use mentalsoma projection, repetition,
and rolling over backwards. Others require movement, such as: sexual
relation, carbon dioxide, massage, pineal, rotation, and break-in-routine.
Preferences. Among all the
techniques herein described for voluntary projection, two are usually
preferred because they are easier and spontaneous. These are self-hypnosis
and projective dreams.
Motivation. In spite of
what has already been said, research still has not proven that there
is a single method which can be considered better than any other.
All of the methods can work if you master the techniques to induce
progressive and deep neurological and muscular relaxation and have
enough motivation to temporarily leave the human body.
Others. Besides those mentioned,
which are considered the most practical, there are hundreds of other
methods for conscious projections that compliment the tendencies
of your personality. Here are five examples:
170.01. Extraphysical. Realistic,
direct request to a known extraphysical helper - a trustworthy /
trusted extraphysical entity that can help you project lucidly.
170.02. Parapsychological.
Use of energizations or energetic touch of certain chakras to intensify
the vibrations (vibrational state) and produce the departure of
the psychosoma.
170.03. Psychological. Acute
concentration upon a single chosen form which one tries to see in
a dream to provoke the extraphysical awakening.
170.04. Physiological. Swinging
movement of the head and sudden lashing backwards.
170.05. Physical. Placing oneself
in a rhythmically flashing light; sensory deprivation; decrease
of personal vital levels; etc.
Deprivation. Sensorial deprivation
is the absence of all outside stimulation. This is obtained in special
tanks, many of them used in laboratories. Those tanks provide a
monotonous environment in which there is complete silence, complete
darkness, and the individual floats in tank of treated water regulated
for body temperature. You can seek an environment which would allow
as much sensory deprivation as possible. Here are some technical
orientations: lie on a comfortable bed, in a dark and silent room,
in which you can use a "mask noise" to cover up other
sounds. You can also use a mask for the eyes if you wish. In addition,
rest your head on a U-shaped pillow that would cover your ears.
If you want to increase the deprivation, you can also wear cotton
gloves, wrap a thick paper around your arms, fists and hands, covering
also your fingers. That will prevent you from having tactile perceptions.
For sure those hard, deprived conditions can help one to produce
an conscious OBE.
Phenomena. In using any
of these projection techniques, you might experience common phenomena,
such as: vibrational state; lucid dreams or semi-conscious projection;
harmless physical catalepsy, etc.
Attempts. Of course you
do not have to try all the methods, but you have nothing to loose
in attempting to use any method which will not harm your physical
or mental health.
