Hi VinceField.
Basically I agree with everything that you said:)
About forced falling asleep, Raduga suggests (later in the book when he discusses the indirect technique again) that it can boost success - not as a stand-alone movement. Can you describe how you do-feel it?
I imagine it's like feeling the drift - feeling carried away by the sleepiness - just let go.
Is that you are using for separation alone?
Also, I have heard of "squeezing the brain" before, but have difficulty imagining how that feels like. Can you describe this?
Perhaps I am asking you a lot, but could you also report about your success rate with this and how long you have been using it?
As for my use of the word visualization, it's - like Kaan and StephL suggested - used as a general term. Yes, I know that feeling is what makes the difference and I agree that we should better use words like tactile visualization, Sich movement vorstellen, or even Virtual Sensations.
Mimihigurashi, i suggest staying on topic - I will read
your thread about Eckhat that I just spotted and continue this conversation there!
About Raduga's suggestion: only 2-3 attempts per week, I am also very curious - why is that necessary? If on is on vacation and can oversleep every day is it still 2-3 attempts per week?
FryingMan, congrats man!
Quite interesting experience!
Btw, I have read Robert Bruce's Astral dynamics and did all of his exercises but never got any results - contrary to Raduga's technique!
