I felt exhausted.. and then a disembodied voice said "Try your breathing.." (I had been doing some breathing meditation techniques during the daytime). So I tried my breathing technique, and as I took my first breath, a "ghost leg" rose up from my physical body and hung in the air.. as I exhaled, it sank back into my physical body, rising up again as I inhaled again. With practice over the subsequent years, I managed to almost 100% detach, but my "two heads" would always stick together. It took me a few years of practice before I managed to 100% detach and move around.
