Another one is to relax every muscle in your body by first tensing them up then secondly release them, begin with the toes on your feet and work toward the head.

* Now you need to enter into a hypnotic state. You go to the point where your body borders on going to sleep. You don't want to go to sleep. The gazing method is accomplished by focusing on an object. This is done while you lay down. Spot an object and focus on it, keep staring at it when you your eyes, you are still able to see the object.

* Once you are inside the hynagogic stage, remember that you need to deepen it. With your eyes still closed, look around and see what you can see. Some of the things that you might see include strange light patterns, or everything being cloaked in a purple light. Go ahead and ignore the light, and once you have managed to get rid of it, you will know that you are in a deeper state. Remember that at this stage, you should be so relaxed that you are no longer aware of your physical body, and this detachment is extremely important when you are thinking about this technique and what it can do for you.

* This next step is the most vital according to Monroe. With the fourth step you will induce the state of vibration. Those who have been practicing the seven steps of astral projection techniques, have stated they feel the vibrations early in the projection. They believe that vibrations are the feelings you experience as the astral body starts to leave the physical body. Just feel the vibrations and do not be alarmed.

* Next you need to be in control of these vibrations. To be in control you will have to focus on this vibrations and cause them to course through your body. Utilize your mind to do this, you need your whole body to experience the vibrations, as if they were waves covering you. You need to practice this enough that you can do this at will. Now that you can do this stage you will be able to leave the body next.

* Astral projection's and astral travel's key component is control. Your mind is the one in control, the power. To strengthen control of the sixth technique, Monroe recommends a "partial separation." Keep focusing your mind with the idea of leaving your physical body. Start small, with a foot or hand of the astral body. Stretching it to an object near you, try a wall, floor or other object that is familiar. Push your hand or foot through that object. Once you accomplish this, bring your foot or hand back into the physical body, slow the vibrations down, end the session and wait to become fully awakened and an aware state.

* At this stage, you are ready to leave the body entirely. Start by repeating steps one through six until you feel comfortable, and then, when you are ready, move completely into your astral body. You will find that this can feel a little strange and that you might need some visualization to get you started. Think about how you can release your body and how it feels so light. Think about how wind can blow it here and there and how weightless you are. You may feel as though you are flying or floating.
