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 Canterbury Institute, renowned 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 both
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 well-being. Repeat this five times.
8. Proceed to breath through your half-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
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 separation. 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 separation.
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 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 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!

Astral Projection Technique

Astral Travel
In astral projection the astral body leaves the physical. The astral body is
one of seven sheath bodies we all have - as we are all multi-dimensional.
These bodies include the physical, mental, causal, etheric, emotional,
spiritual.

What I have found is that some people can astral project naturally - and
have been doing it for years. Other people are afraid to leave the physical
body and struggle with it, never being able to astral project. These people
could try remote viewing as an alternative.
In astral projection you remain attached by a silver "umbilical type" cord to
your physical body - though you may not see it. You travel out and are
aware of things you encounter along the way.
To astral project, as with all out-of-body experiences one must feel totally
relaxed. Wear loose-fitting, comfortable clothes. A reclining position is best.
Often it's good to place a comforter over the body as the physical body
sometimes gets cold when you travel out.
You can practice alone or with one person. Find a quiet place free of
distractions. Adjust the lighting and room temperature. Adjust clothing,
footwear and eyeglasses. Sit down or lie down. Find a position that is
comfortable for you. Quiet your mind and still your thoughts.
Relax your body.
Your face, your jaw, relaxing.
Your shoulders, your neck, relaxed.
Your arms, your hands, feel at peace.
Your torso, your hips, letting go.
Your legs, your feet, totally relaxed.
Focus on your breathing. Inhale slowly and deeply through your nose.
Retain the breath as long as is comfortable. Exhale through the mouth
slowly and completely. Repeat for two more breaths or as is comfortable.
Let go of the fear of leaving your physical body. Remember that you astral
project when you sleep.
See yourself floating away from your physical body. You may feel a release
or perhaps hear a sound as you leave.
If you get fearful, stop, as you are not ready for astral projection. Anything
done in metaphysics should feel comfortable and easy. If it is stressful, let it
go for now. Read some books about astral projection and try again when
you're more comfortable with the idea of leaving your body.

The silver cord is described as a connector between the astral body and the physical body in the context of astral projection. It is mentioned to reassure practitioners that they remain linked to their physical form despite projecting, ensuring safety and a return path to the body. This concept addresses potential concerns about separation, offering comfort to those who fear not returning from an astral projection .

One potential challenge in Monroe's astral projection techniques is controlling fear or apprehension about leaving the body, which may hinder the process. Another challenge is achieving the necessary deep relaxation and maintaining concentration to reach the vibrational state without distraction. Additionally, specific physical adjustments, such as the alignment with the north-south axis and the elimination of distractions, may require effort and environment control .

Condition D is the ideal state for leaving the body in Monroe's techniques for astral projection. It is a deeper state of relaxation that includes the ability to lose all awareness of the body and sensory stimulation while being mentally lucid. This condition must be voluntarily induced from a rested and refreshed state, not due to normal fatigue. To achieve it, Monroe suggests practicing this relaxation state in the morning or after a short nap .

The vibrational state is a crucial component in Monroe's astral projection techniques. It represents the onset of projection, often felt as mild tingling or a sensation similar to electricity. The purpose of this state is to prepare the body for separation from the astral form. Monroe details steps to control and induce these vibrations, such as mentally pushing waves of vibrations throughout the body, which is essential for achieving a full out-of-body experience .

A key difference between astral projection and remote viewing is that astral projection involves the actual leaving of the physical body, where the astral body detaches and explores. In contrast, remote viewing does not involve physically leaving the body but rather accessing information and perception from a distance purely through mental focus. For individuals who struggle with the concept of leaving their body, remote viewing serves as an alternative practice .

Monroe's method addresses the fear of astral projection by emphasizing that individuals cannot be harmed while projecting. An experiment conducted by the Canterbury Institute involving over 2,000 people showed no harm or new problems arising from projection experiences. By reassuring people of their safety, Monroe encourages overcoming fear, which is one of the main barriers to successful astral projection .

The initial steps in Monroe's method involve relaxing the body and entering the hypnagogic state, also known as the state bordering sleep. Relaxation involves both mental and physical relaxation which is crucial as it prepares the body for deeper states of consciousness necessary for astral projection. The hypnagogic state allows the practitioner to maintain awareness while physical sensations wane, facilitating a deeper state of relaxation that progresses to Conditions B and C, leading eventually to Condition D, the ideal state for projection .

Monroe describes two methods for achieving astral projection: the ‘lift-out’ and ‘roll-out’ methods. The ‘lift-out’ method involves imagining oneself getting lighter and floating upward, maintaining the thought of rising. The ‘roll-out’ method involves mentally rolling out of the body by visualizing turning over in bed while maintaining the vibrational state. Monroe suggests starting with the ‘lift-out’ method because it is straightforward and easier for beginners to conceptualize the feeling of lightness and floating. However, he acknowledges that both techniques can be effective for projection .

Monroe recommends several mental preparation steps before entering the vibrational state. Practitioners should enter a state of relaxation and give themselves mental suggestions that they will remember and benefit from experiences during the session. They should focus their mental energies on a point beyond their forehead, shifting attention upwards to engage with the vibrations effectively. These mental exercises are intended to enhance concentration and readiness for achieving the vibrational state .

Monroe recommends several environmental conditions for an effective astral projection session. These include darkening the room to prevent light from disturbing through eyelids but not completely eliminating light, aligning the body along a north-south axis with the head towards magnetic north, ensuring the room is free from noise distractions, wearing loose and comfortable clothing, and maintaining a slightly warmer temperature than usual. These conditions are designed to facilitate relaxation and minimize distractions .
