A lot of my process was feeling the tiny details of that area right between sleeping and waking. I worked on that for many months. My feeling is that some people are "natural" OBE practitioners. I don't consider myself to be one of those people. I had work like hell.
I don't remember exactly how I got started, but I guess it was a book by Monroe. It took me many months too, and gradually feeling my way through that boundary between sleeping and waking. Eventually results were somewhat spontaneous, but definitely a result of the prolonged practising I'd done.
It isn't something I'm currently involved in - I think once I'd satisfied myself that the phenomenon existed, I was ready to move on to other areas of research which were relevant to me.
Incidentally a few years ago I was taking some medication which disagreed with me - though I didn't realise it at first, and used to frequently feel an OBE coming on. But I resisted at that time, I think I understood that if the medication was causing me to leave the body, then I might not return. Pretty soon afterwards I stopped taking the medicine and my health in ordinary daily life recovered too.
Possibly I was almost in NDE territory there too.

Pretty much ditto on that. I do think that if I do end up having quiet years at the end of my life that I will return to these pursuits. Too busy with life right now.

I find that with non-hemisync techniques I either tend to fall asleep, or find myself lying there for hours staring at the ceiling.

Well I don't think I'd heard of hemisync at the time, or didn't have ready access. Just a book from the local library.
I wasn't staring at the ceiling until the OBE phase when I was almost touching it, or passing clean through.

The only binaural beat tapes I have heard are Kelly Howell's "High Coherence" (later renamed Deep Meditation) and "Brian's Brain Buster" (can't remember who did that one but it was a straightforward alpha and a straightforward theta entrainment.) I have often wanted to try Hemisync so thanks for this.
No Prob.
Again- keep in mind, you can go the TMI web site and download a hemisync track. And it does work. So you can try it free w/o stealing it anywhere.
Here's where to go...
