* Firstly you need to relax. You need to relax your body and mind in preparation. Several techniques are available to you and are simple to use. Deep breathing is one and very simple. You breath everyday, but now you are going to breath deeply, slow and calmly. Do deep inhales and exhale deeply as well. Relax all your muscles one by one. Tensing first and then relaxing them. Start with your toes and work upward toward you head.

* Next a hypnotic state is now necessary and this is where your body and mind border on going to sleep. You don't want to go to sleep. Use the gazing method to do this and focus on any object, while you lay in bed. Keep staring at this object, until your eyes close, but you are still seeing (with your eyes closed) the object you have been focusing on.

* Once you can see the object with closed eyes and you need to deepen this state you are in. The best way is to look around (eyes closed) see whatever you can see. It's possible you may see different forms of light patterns and may even notice the room has become cloaked in a purple light. Ignore this and don't pay any attention to it. When you have stopped seeing this light you'll know that you've entered a deeper state. Being so completely relaxed, you will no longer even be aware of your physical body. An important happening according to the astral projection techniques of Monroe.

* This is the most vital step, according to Monroe. You to enter a state of Vibration. Many who have been practicing the seven techniques of astral projection, find that the vibrations are felt early in the projection. And they believe this is felt when you experience the astral body beginning to leave the physical body. Do not be afraid and feel the vibrations.

* Next you will start to control the vibrations that you feel. Focus on them and see how they feel as they travel through your body, Visualize them as waves that wash through you, and concentrate on how they feel. Practice this until you can always feel the vibrations and so that you can create them when you want to. These waves are what you will use to travel.

* Now think about control. Use the power of your mind, and you will at this point begin a partial separation. This is something that can enhance your control and your ability to affect your astral travel. Start by thinking of yourself as leaving the physical body. Think about an astral vision of your hand stretching away from you, towards the wall or the floor, and then push yourself though it. This can be difficult to master, but take your time. Once you have done this, return your hand or foot back to your physical body, where you will slow down the vibration and return yourself to a full awake and aware stage.

* The final step is that you get to finally exit your body. Do the other steps as listed above, but this time you will transfer completely to your astral body. You will need to slightly alter step six. In place of thinking about releasing only a part of your body, you will now think about releasing the whole astral body, by concentrating on how little it weighs as if weightless in fact, as in feather blowing around in the wind. The astral body actually should be transporting away from the physical body, you should feel a floating or flying effect.
