My Research

Main Research
Before i started devoting serious practice to this i wanted to find out some sort of step by step guide on how to astral project, later i found out this really isn't possible. It seems like there is a 101 different methods to release your astral body and expand your conscious mind, and everyone has a different opinion on it and on what works for them.

I read alot of methods that suggest diets and herbal plants and drugs etc, can i just say now - ignore all these websites and forums now because that amount of mental and physical hardship is not necessary to the end result and there are thousands of APers(Astral Projectors) that achieve amazing results without any of this and just leading a normal life.

One method that did catch my eye was what seems to go by the name of Phasing. (For all of you that have done some research into APing you'll know that phasing isn't really a method of sorts and so many people say it is different things, so here's my take). Phasing seems to me to be a simple relaxed meditation without strict breathing patterns, you simply "notice" what is happening to your body as you get deeper and deeper into a relaxed "trance" like state (personally i hate the phrase "trance" because it brings about images of witch doctors, brain washing and phony mystics etc.)

Phasing seems to have the highest success rate out of people i have talked to because all it relys on is your willingness to focus and wait for something to happen. So initally im going to start out with this approach.

Hemi Sync & Binural

For those of you that have researched AP you will of at least at one point touched on the whole Hemi-Sync topic by the Monroe academy and the theory behind binural beats and for those who haven't its worth googling quickly now before reading on. I figured anything with this much science behind it must be worth a look, i wasn't going to buy a Hemi-Sync astral cd because they were like $40, so instead i downloaded this http://www.bwgen.com/ Which produces the same binural frequencies and thus deliverers a similar affect (and it has other tunes to aid you stopping smoking and waking up etc). Ill tell you how this software goes later on.
