Quantum Theory in consciousness. Out of body experiences. How To Have An Out Of Body Experience. Robert Monroe's Method In his book, Journeys Out of the Body, Robert Monroe describes a complicated-sounding technique for inducing OBEs. In part, it is similar to other imagination methods, but it starts with induction of the "vibrational state". Many spontaneous OBEs start with a feeling of shaking or vibrating, and Monroe deliberately induces this state first. He suggests you do the following. First lie down in a darkened room in any comfortable position, but with your head pointing to magnetic north.
The next step involves entering the state bordering sleep (the hypnagogic state). After first achieving this state, Monroe recommends to deepen it. Once you have achieved the vibrational state, you have to learn to control it, to smooth out the vibrations by "pulsing" them. To leave the body, Monroe advocates the "lift-out" method.
