but this reminds me of the MP3 that allows you to astral flow, go around real places with your spirit and be out of your body while you sleep, i had that mp3 but never tried it, this sounds cool tho.
You mean Astro Travel. or O.B.E. (Out of body Experience.)
I can tell you how to do this even though for me the end result was different, and very interesting.
NOTE: It's a fourm of multitasking that requires focus at first. Body needs energy for this so makre sure you're well fed before you start.
STAGE: 1
- 1st. Use a bed or a really comfortable chair, like a lazy boy or a coutch. Be sure the body is clean and do what you can to prevent any itching that might break you're concentration, the smallest itch can ruin this. The meditation is for you to relax every muscle in you're body, as you constantly scan you're body to further relax you're muscles. fingers, calves, jaw, tounge, neck, everything and anything you can relax... Make sure you're head is set it a way it won't fall to the side or block you're air.
- 2nd task to do while keeping up the 1st task .....
...It's called 2-4 breathing. to the mental count of 4 seconds, inhale.... hold for 2 seconds... and exhale just droping you're breath, even though the exhale is complete, do not start inhaling until the 4 second exhale is up.
Best to keep 1 and 2 in mind. It's more difficult to achieve rythim when you're breathing slow, but when you do achieve it. something a little more interesting will happen.... So assuming you made it this far (which is breating at the same count and totally relaxed)....
STAGE 2: Again only,If you have been holding down the 1st stage, can you then step into this one.
The way you do this = Resist swallowing.
By the time you "step into" stage 2 you're throat will be so dry you'll want to have a nice gobble. If you do swallow you will upset stage 1 and you'll have to start over again. Just to mention, swallowing disturbs the breathing, also you're neck muscles will move, breaking some of you're relaxation. So resist swallowing and fight off the urge by accepting the dryness you feel making it's way into you're body through the throat.
For clearity, i'll mention stage 2 just does not come. you must "Step into this stage"
So going over STAGE 2. DO NOT SWALLOW is all. which will bring you to ....
STAGE 2.1: This is when everything you're doing becomes easier. The dryness starts to create clicking sounds in you're ears, pay no attention to them yet. just keep breathing and relaxing... Soon you'll relize behind you're mental count, there are the sounds in you're body that start to stand out.
*The sound of the clicking
*The sound of the heart beating. (It's beats harder until you can feel it)
*The sound of you're breathing. >>>As air gentally passes in and out of you're new sounding "dry wind pipe" you're heart is in tune with the rhythm, as breathing feeds the heart. With the heart pounding hard on you're gental breath, it litterally makes the wind pipe sound cosmic.
(Best way i can describ the sound of the breathing :The beating of the heart will tilt you're breathing like little punches. As you inhale it goes from silent to louder then fades back into silent, with the beating involved it sounds like it's eco'ing. As though the heart itself is meeting the air half way, it kinda absorbs each breath which makes it sorta stop and go with each beat., and stay in rhythm)
STAGE 3: This stage is different than the others. It just creeps in before you know when it started. Somewhere in the last stage, you've become very aware of the MUSIC coming from you're body. It literally is music, the wind the beating, the clicking, the way it sounds, the way it's pulsing, it's all exactly the same timing for each passing bar, and it's this that eliminates the need for mental count. You just listen/focus to this music and wait.......................
Next is the "sound and feeling of electricity". Which will fade in.
What does it sound like ? It's a buzzing noize. like a low humming sound. It also sounds like it's moving towards and away from you and it too is in key with the musuc. As crazy and delusional as it sounds, the electric vibe making this electric sound feels like it is rubbing against you're brain. and with each motion it makes the humming sound. Perhapse the brain recieving oxigen differently triggers this. Our bodies do have electrons in it too. Without them we would die.
Heart beat: Drum
ear/neck clicking: seems to be drum as well
beathing: is the rhythm, amazing, you set the rhythm with this by timing it.
Electric buzzing: Bass ... could have been lead aswell. Like everything else it was repetitive, and kept getting louder.
Perhapse i should have tried to create a melody for it somehow, but i wasn't expecting any of this to happen as it was not in the book i learned the excersises from. I was also very intreagued with what i was feeling and hearing. Even the dry throat was ok and part if the experince of experiencing music as a feeling aswell as listening to it.

(My personal outcome.)
Then i saw, what i can only describe as a giant cat head. With a really squiggly mouth, with very sharp teeth around each part of the mouth, which was opened kinda wide, as the mouth seemed to wave around. It had many eyes scattered along and around the area where the eyes are supose to be on a regular head, the eyes were un-even and they were different sizes and on different angles. It also sounded like it had something stuck in it's throat and it was making these awful sounds like it was being strangled. The Cat head was about 2 stories in diameter and it was coming towards me, like a slow moving train.
Funny enough i was not afraid and when the cat head came close enough. Out of nowhere from the 2 o'clock angle, a giant metalic fist came crashing down on the cats head. It was bigger than the cats head, and it came in really fast. When it struck the cats head it made a sound like chopping chickin and breakin bones on a cutting board, and the cats head was gone.
The Great fist appeard to be the colour Gold, decorated with silver, and had spiked knuckles with a spiked bracelet. It looked like it belonged someone or something awsome. It was very shiny. Like a glove that has a very promising matching set. Maybe i was not supose to see it, cause i would sure as hell exploit it in my art work. It was so shiny and buff, and still i have never seen something that projected such a mighty visual.

I reciently spoke to a LS mate about this who happens to be a spiritual fellow, and his words were along the lines of, "It was not something protecting you, it were you protecting yourself. in these plains we go to, we can make things happen simply by thinking it. You could have did anything to that strange creature you saw".
If he is correct, which he just might be, i can see how sensative our very thoughts translate when they "matter" in an untangible world.
The Enlightment i gather, is,... "What we have in our heart and mind, is what makes us out to be our true selves down to the core". If there is no consenquesce, will you kill or steal ? Some people enjoy this when escaping. Being a believer in God, this can be reason as to why he will not allow most of us into his Kingdom. If we are to be spiritual beings, we'll most likely be made up of the same substance as we are when we dream. Or even if 1 were to achieve Astro Travel.
