OBE Specific Techniques

Same thing as far as I know. TMI= "The Monroe Institute".
Improvements over the years but one family of products.
Uses a combination of sounds slightly out of phase with each other and an accompanying voice with instructions or really more of a guided meditation.
You can find some on line if you poke around, you can even download 1-2 short ones from the TMI web site. And that one works! it did for me, but I was ignorant enough to take off my headphone just as I was going through the OBE transition. I though the load roar was a dead CD player battery! 
But you really need to go to the TMI training or buy the on-line training from them to get all the detailed instructions of their use for full benefit. It's sort of expensive though... Around $2k if I remember correctly. I had a fun 6 day learning vacation though...

I hadn't seen the abbreviation before so I didn't make the connection.  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.

Are you saying his method worked on the first night you tried it? or did I misunderstand?

No, not the first night. I worked with it for a week or so I guess. 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.

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...

Good luck!
