Getting Out? Options

So I was wondering how or which methods you guys use to get out of your body.

When it comes to astral projection I just use my dreams. Basically when already in a lucid dream I sort of lunch myself from my dream world out into the astral world. My dream world is like a bubble, not unlike a planet and by breaching the "atmosphere" of this world I am able to explore realms outside of it. The way I look at it is my dream world is of my innerself, whats within me, and the astral world represents whats around me, the world outside of myself. Before I got good at using my dreams I used visualization coupled with meditation. The gist of that is I taught myself to visualize things in great detail and how to experience sensations (like touch, sight, taste) while meditating. By combining the two feats I am able to "project" my consciousness into the astral world.

Any given technique is attempting to produce a similar affect - to put the mind into an altered state that enables it to consciously percieve the world around the body, without actually being in the body. All it really takes is the ability to visualize, utilize deep meditation and practice. With enough intent and practice one could learn to have successful OBEs within a week. Even then I think it'd take at least a month or more to really get good at it. And it does require honest and regular practice. The other thing to be caution of is the expectation for success. If you expect to have an OBE bad enough it'll be coutner productive. The mind needs to be able to relax and be free from all expectations to really have OBEs. With practice a person will have OBEs its just a matter of time. Part of the learning process is to accept the reality that this does take practice and time to get good at.

Nah I'm sure the forum has many topics like this one, I just figured I'd post it since I saw none that were recent asking this question. If there was a recent one I promably missed it.

And yep I should promably read more on the topic, I do without knowing which isn't too good. Thankfully I think i've found my way on getting out...I was just wondering if anyone was using the same method as me or what are the different ways other members use to get out.

I see! Then perhaps if you were to share with us just what your experience(s) have taught you it would help open the way for others to share in their experiences...
What happened to you that helped with your own OOBE?
Did you use the Bruce method (Astraldynamics) , Monroes method, Dennings or whatever? Did you projecvt through guided steps, dream manipulation or ritual?
soo many questions... If we knew more about your situation we could come up with something.
In other words, what are you bringing to the plate? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused012.gif)

Well the ways that I've gotten out are sometimes through dream manipulation, or turning my attention away from my dreams. Though that's the easy part, the hard part is actually seperating completely. I've found a way that works, which is doing a flip to get out. But I was wondering if anyone does the same or how they "unstick" themselves from their physical body. Or if maybe another way is easier for different people.

I prefer to use Tarot cards, Crystal ball, or the techniques from high magic are very good also.

Here are a few the one i really like involves transfering through a veil in a middle pillar type setting.

Also to project by just influencing my energy i guess thats sort of my own technique though.

Setting a solid goal of my destination prior to sleep always works well too.

I use the Dalgliesh method combined with middle pillar setting, total silence and a bit of push and shove and I am out.

The real problem is getting back in again. It feels like climbing into a wet swimming suit (IMG:style_emoticons/default/fie.gif) not very nice.
