All Methods Have Failed
© Copyright Alfred Ballabene, Vienna, 2000
Here in this short article are not brought hindrances and how to master them. This article is written for those who never have entered a deeper state with pre-state symptoms like images, sounds, vibrations etc. It's for those who desire OBEs but have the feeling to be led by misfortune at this aspect.
Letters:

"I have studied several other methods and have tried them out but they wont work. Is astral projection only for some people? I seem to be stuck and was wondering if you may help me out a little with some advice." Bal: There truly exists a disposition for astral projection. It is similar to painting or other arts. You can be born with good dispositions and performing in the art seems to run an easy way. But if you have no disposition, you can learn this art nevertheless, it only needs some harder work. |

"I'VE TRIED TO ACHIEVE OBEs FOR MANY YEARS WITHOUT RESULT!" ("HE TRATADO DE HACERLO POR VARIOS AŅOS, SIN TENER UN RESULTADO SOLIDO" Sabes alfredo, creo que las salidas astrales se estan poniendo mas dificiles para mi, debido a que ciertamente no he podido dar con un metodo, y que "DIOS NO ME LO PERMITE") Bal: I am sure God likes you. |
In my respond to the first letter you have read, that as far as I believe OBEs may be difficult for one or the other. This may be because of different reasons. May be one of the reasons is a missing disposition. Mostly, however; the cause for this failure is of other origin like:
- Restlessness
- Hyperactivity
- Fear to face the subconscious
There are many possibilities to counteract these hindrances.
1) First I would recommend learning how to achieve a good relaxation, by means of autogenic training. Even to take a hypnotic session to learn how to come to deep relaxation will be a very useful task.
2) For the second I would recommend to explore the hypnagogic state, the state between sleep and awakeness.
Try following exercises - they do not fit directly for astral projection, but it trains your subconsciousness and the kind of awareness which you need for astral projection. Let me remark that in astral projecting you are at the border between sleep and daytime awareness - and keeping your inner awareness at that border can be trained. For instance in such a way:
Before falling asleep, or in the short phases of being awake in the night, or in the early morning when you still stay in bed at the weekend, or when you are taking a nap in the daytime, then direct your awareness at the inner images you may see from time to time (the state is called hypnagogic state). There is nothing additional to do as to keep your awareness at these inner visions. By the time you will get a feeling for these processes. Then you have managed a first step for astral projecting.
