How to Induce an OBE
Probably the hardest part of trying to have an out of body experience is the preparation to achieve the very first projection. From all of the authors I have read it is almost exclusively one thing that is most important when preparing - mental relaxation. Most people seem to focus so much on technique that the mental aspect is overshadowed. In fact, some report that the spontaneous OBE occurs unexpectedly in a different session after an earlier concentrated session of meditation and self-hypnotic periods.
Here is a list of mental/physical states from Robert Peterson - from his book Lessons Out of the Body - on OBE induction:
"Full - Full (waking) consciousness
Relaxing - Relaxing the body until you can't feel it
F10 - Body asleep / mind awake
Hypnagogic - Beginning of hypnagogic imagery (see earlier blog posting)
Paralysis - Sleep paralysis
Vibs - Vibrations are felt
Vibs Suf - Vibrations are sufficient to start the separation
Separation - The point of separation
OBE
... At each of the milestones, you may have a different state of mind. State of mind is a complex matter. There are many variables involved, such as how much emotion you feel and how much thought you are processing...If you are serious about learning to induce OBEs, but nothing seems to work, this chapter is meant to help you identify what you are doing wrong. For example, maybe your mind is too noisy when you practice...strive of that perfect, quiet, contemplative state of mind, and let it happen."

hey i actiomly sometimes do astral project even without trying when i am asleep or awake as in some terms people call it day dreaming or spacing out i want some insight on how to control it better please if anyone can help me my e-mail is magicwtc@yahoo.com thanx tee
When I first started studying OBE it was a Scottish form called "Wind Riding." Years later I found myself having two distinct episodes. The first was brief... I realized what was happening and paniced. It felt like a sucking feeling and I awoke shortly after. The next was more controlled and I could move freely but was too scared to stray to far away from my resting body.
I have been unable to induce this by will again. I do feel that the preparation does overshadow the ability to relax for the experience.
