respond to your daily exercises more quickly than you otherwise would. In time, tension will begin oozing out of you the moment you smell your special OBE training scent. Your daily exercises don’t all have to be done in the same location. Some techniques will be practiced numerous times during the day wherever you happen to be. These mainly consist of reciting affirmations, doing short concentration and mind-clearing exercises, energy work, and so on. Put daily travel and waiting time to good use for these. Learning to Relax One of the first tasks is to learn how to make yourself so comfortable that your mind and body will almost disassociate. We say almost because a slight body/mind connection is crucial for straddling that fuzzy edge between sleeping and waking. Deep physical relaxation is the foundation upon which everything else in this program will rest. If you do not thoroughly learn this essential skill, you could waste a lot of time and effort making projection attempts with little chance of success. This program contains an excellent routine that, once learned, will progressively take you to the deeper levels of relaxation that are required to induce trance and an OBE. Deep physical relaxation is the one OBE preparation skill that is most commonly overlooked or poorly done. Being relaxed enough to fall asleep does not mean that you have a sufficient level of relaxation to induce an OBE.

Physical tension can prevent you from projecting, even if all the other skills required for having an OBE have been mastered. The purpose of this first week’s relaxation practice is to learn the steps of the routine. Staying awake and lucid in a state of deep physical relaxation takes practice. With this in mind, try to avoid doing the relaxation exercises when you are overly tired. Falling asleep during this routine will condition you to fall asleep every time you perform it, in much the same way as you habitually start falling asleep when you go to bed. Relaxation training begins on Day 1. Each day more steps are added until, by the end of the week, the full routine is revealed. Your goal for the end of this first week is to complete the routine without having to refer to the instructions. It is easy to miss steps at first, so this week be sure to review the instructions after each session to make sure you are not forgetting anything. The deep physical
