Astral Projection Aids
I have come to the conclusion that the success of
each aid depends on what kind of sleeper you are (light or deep).
Here's a summary of each aid listed accordingly:
The Dream Mask: The flashing and/or beeping cues will wake up
a light sleeper rather quickly. Rarely am I deep enough that when I
see these flashes behind my closed eyelids that I don't fully wake
up.
The Calea Herb: This herb makes deep sleep
difficult to attain. I do use this herb, but only a minor quantity
as I'm a light sleeper (1 gel capsule). I tried 2, but I never got
beyond a light doze. If you are a deep sleeper, and can't remember
your dreams, this will help.
Tapes. These put most everyone to sleep but
are effective for both sleep types.
Part of achieving a projection is based on the
ability of keeping the body asleep, yet the mind awake OR to sleep
light enough that you bounce in and out of the hypnagogic state
often enough to "catch" yourself and induce the
vibrations. This can be done with these astral projection aids if
you use the right one for your sleep type. My other tester Kristina,
who is a DEEP sleeper, gets really good use out of the mask, whereas
I sleep very lightly, and even on the lowest setting, am typically
jarred awake. Dr. Douglas M. Baker in his article, "The
Techniques of Astral Projection" discusses the importance of
light sleeping. He states, "It is quite useless to think of
astral projection and activity in the inner worlds if you sleep
heavily, without memory being brought through of your dreams and
astral life."
If you can, alternate your aids as the subconscious
mind bores of them rather easily and they stop working. Regardless
of the aid I'm using, I switch after a week. Ideally, you would have
four aids and use one a week.
