Introduction
If we are interested in astral travel and want to learn it, we see ourselves confronted with a difficult task that requires a considerable amount of basic knowledge.
For a solid beginning we need to know how to realize a spiritual immersion. It is not important which method is used to realize this spiritual immersion. May it be auto hypnosis, deep relaxation or autogenous training.
The state between sleep and awakeness is a state is similar to the deep relaxation. This means that we should inform ourselves about this state to find explanations for unexpected phenomena.
Term explanations and short forms:
IBE = Short for 'In Body Experience'.
OBE = Short for 'Out of Body Experience'.
Hypnagogic State = short, dreamlike states before falling asleep
Hypnopompic State = short, dreamlike states before waking up
1. States in Doze (Hynagogic State)
In the drowsy state of doze, we observe first transitions to the dream sleep like inner pictures or scenes. Sometimes we also have acoustical perceptions or muscle twitches. Still, we are able to reflect about the experienced phenomena. This state should not be confused with clairvoyance or clairaudience.
Movies and Pictures:
In doze we often experience the phenomenon of short dreamlike image sequences which are seen for one up to a few seconds only. If the body is not too exhausted (e.g. in the morning) we can watch these sequences with a bit more attention. This takes some effort because we tend to fall asleep again due to being 'just too tired'. If this small amount of concentration can be raised, we will be richly rewarded. The once misty-gray pictures become more colorful, brighter and easier to remember. Some use this state for visualization (image seeing) or astral travel ('projection').
A person with a vitalized energy system and a brightened aura will often see lights (e.g. lanterns or car headlights) in the hypnagogic state.
Voices and Sounds:
Occasionally, someone becomes wide awake because of a realistic doze experience. The person may believe that such a phenomenon has been a perception during wakefulness and usher transcendence. This especially applies to voices. The bigger the ignorance and craving for recognition, the easier it is for someone to believe that god, an archangel, a ghost or something similar contacted him. Some might even think a higher power chose them as a bearer. If these voices are assigned to ghosts it might be scary for the affected person but harmless in its effects. I received countless letters from people who unfortunately confused these voice with the voices of ghosts. This confusion caused huge fears.
Occasionally, there were cases where people felt talked to and chosen by angles or god. Often there has lain a need for recognition and attention underneath the shell.
Touch Sensation:
Every once in a while, people notice tactile impressions like them being touched by a hand or like an animal walking over their bodies. Such a doze perception is impressive due to its liveliness but also alarming because of the belief that the intimate sphere is being invaded. Frequently, these light sleep perceptions are an actual copy of the reality. Once I was in such a situation and felt a mouse running over my legs. I noticed every paw and even felt the little claws. Scared, I jumped out of the bed but there was no trace of a mouse.
2. Perception of Sleep Paralysis
What is sleep paralysis? Sleep paralysis is a natural function that takes place in every sleep but is usually not noticed. The paralysis has a purpose – it should prevent from converting dream activity to physical movements or acoustic sounds.
Conscious perception of the sleep paralysis is rare. It often happens shortly before waking up when we are already able to think on a regular daily basis but the brain centers which coordinate the movements are still in the sleep state.
At the end of out of body experiences (OBEs) it may happen that we get into the state of sleep paralysis. Then, we may need several seconds to get back the control of our movements. The more often a person has OBEs the shorter the time of the pre-OBE sleep paralysis gets, until it completely disappears. Additionally, one is even able to move the physical body while being in an OBE state. This might be helpful if the OBE has to be canceled.
Anxious people commonly ask how to cancel the sleep paralysis.
While being in sleep paralysis it is helpful to breath in deeply a few times (the breath is still controllable in this state) and breath out producing a snoring sound. The vibration of the palate has a good waking effect.
OBE-letter 6:
“My spirit is awake. I can hear and smell, I have sense of time and perceive my wife that lies next to me but I cannot move. I cannot control any muscle of my body. With time I learned to breath heavily to draw attention to me. My wife knows this sign and pinches me or shakes me slightly. This is how I find back to normal wakefulness.”
OBE-letter 171:
“Ever since my childhood I have the same dream. I am chased by
