Doing the following practices not only helps feel good, but also can lead to having your own out-of-body experience!
Relaxation
Lie down in a comfortable chair or on a bed, preferably on your back. If you lie on your side you might fall asleep too fast. Put your hands on your sides and start relaxing the body. Go from top to toe and relax each muscle and start over again (I find it helpful to use my breath). This is very important to get right, because if you don’t relax properly you won’t be able to project out of your body. Try to let go of any thought that might come up and stay concentrated on the relaxation. Relaxation is the base of most meditation practices and is quite essential.
Concentration on the heart beat
You can start concentrating on your heart beat, when you are fully relaxed. Take three deep breaths if you can’t hear the beat. Concentration is also extremely important at this stage and throughout the whole practice. The better concentration we have, the more likely we are to project. Now you may experience strange sensations in the body but it’s important that you don’t get caught up in them, but keep concentrating on the heart beat.
