      Hi all, I wanted to share a really cool technique I found on the Astral Pulse forum. It can help a great deal in stopping your thoughts and concentrating/staying aware to reach the mind awake/body asleep state:

      I have come across a technique that has assisted people in stilling their thoughts. It assists in concentration issues and awareness during trance states. This is most beneficial to newby projectors. It worked for me so here it is.

      To start off simply, it involves drawing a circle on a piece of paper with a bright, yellow highlighter and straing at it. Interested? There is science behind this. Different colours omitt different frequencies of light. The bright yellow acts as an overstimulant on the eye and will leave an indigo/violet after image (When your eyes are closed).

      Put in laymans terms and to make it simple, this indigo violet slows down the brains frequency which consequently assists the previously mentioned abilities. The yellow dot should be drawn as shown in the picture below, exact measurements are not necessary. The brightness of the yellow highlighter are essential however, the indigo is it's equal opposite.



      What happens:
      When you stare at the centre of the yellow dot, after a while you will begin to see an indigo haze appearing around the border of the dot. Do not focus on this haze only on the centre of the dot. After about 30secs close your eyes and you should be staring at an indigo after-image that will quickly fade away/shrink.

      I will explain the method but for starters: If you are new to projection and are not serious about putting in yards to project - don't bother. This takes about 4 weeks of conditioning for you to produce the indigo violet at will without the dot.

      Method:
      Through all weeks, the yellow dot needs to be viewed at three times: After breakfast, around mid-day and between about 3-5pm Through filtered sunlight. Everyday during the week. Don't worry about blinking.

      1st week - Stare at the centre of the yellow dot for 30secs at the specified times above. After close your eyes and stare at the indigo violet. For some people it will appear and then disappear then reappear again. Count how long the after-image is retained and if you want record it. Some people can't be bothered.

      2nd week - Increase the exposed viewing in the previous week to 1 min.

      3rd week - Before you go to bed at night, redraw the dot on another piece of paper. This will end up using 14 peices of paper and maybe more than one highlighter. Redrawing the dot is part of cognitive conditioning. Stare at the dot for three minutes. ONLY BEFORE BED One minute during the day is still fine.

      4th week - Repeat week 3.

      After 4 weeks you should be able to bring the indigo violet image at will. You will possibly be able to do this before the 4 weeks is through. Keep to the program though. It is 4 weeks for reasons of conditioning.

      Things to note:
      The dot should be in the middle of the page
      There should be nothing else on the page except the dot. This includes shadow(s). Avoids distraction.
      The dot should be held around 30 - 45cm away from your face (please don't go to the trouble of measuring it)
      Hold the paper as a portrait.

      I DID NOT DEVELOP THIS TECHNIQUE. It was developed by Brian Costello, International Ambassador of Psychology. He is a projector as well. I know this because I know him. He lives 10 mins from my house. It was originally developed as a means of stress reduction.

      Please don't hesitate for me to clear anything up that doesn't make sense. It would be nice if people began this program and reported back after a few weeks/during their progress. Whether it assisted you or not. I can't stress the benefits of this enough for newby projectors. Why even bother trying? Weigh up the possible benefits and decide whether it's worth investing the time to find out if it works or not.

      This is a method that assisted me in projection. The skeptics might have a field day here. It takes a weak mind to condemn something capable of demonstration.

      Enjoy.[/b]

      Now here is Nowhere

      I woke up this morning and got into bed. Went up to the roof and swam down the chimney to the mall. They had a special on meat so I poured some into a glass and watered the milkman. Then I drew myself home and found the fish had ate the cat the cat had ate the dog and the dog had been eaten by the mailman. Then I got out of bed and went back to sleep.

      It might sound strange but I used to be able to *almost* WILD (not that I'd even heard of lucid dreaming, or would have known what I was doing) when I was a lot younger. One thing I did notice was that I would often wake up with a very strong afterimage that I couldn't get rid of easily for quite a long time after I woke up. As far as I know it wasn't induced by an afterimage technique but I remember it always being an image of a thick circle (like a slice of pineapple&#33 which would pulse from yellow to purple depending how hard I tried to get rid of it. Maybe this was somehow related? Sounds like a good technique anyway.
      Made you look. Er, now do a reality check or something.
