The Visualization Method

The Target Technique

The Visualization Method For many, the key to out-of-body exploration is to focus and maintain your complete attention away from your physical body as you drift to sleep. One of the easiest ways to accomplish this is to focus your attention upon a person, place, or object located some distance from you. This can be a loved one from which you are separated, your favorite vacation spot, or a gift that holds some special meaning for you. Whatever you select should be an actual physical object you know, not an imaginary place or person. Select an object or place that is easy to visualize and holds the most interest for you. Become completely absorbed in it. If you like, role-play some kind of interaction to keep your mind focused. 

Continue your visualization for as long as possible as you allow your physical body to completely relax and fall to sleep. It's important to maintain a detailed picture of the object or place and your interaction as you go to sleep. As you doze off, attempt to boost your emotional and visual connection as much as possible. 

This method is excellent bedtime visualization. Keep in mind, the more emotionally involved and focused you are, the more effective this technique is. Have fun with it and maintain your visualization as your last conscious thought as you drift off. 

The Target Technique  Your ability to focus and maintain your awareness away from your body is enhanced if you direct your full attention upon a specific physical object or place. The target technique is an excellent exercise to help you develop this ability. To begin, select three targets in your home. All three targets should be physical items that you can visualize with relative ease. Your targets should be in a different area of your home than the room you normally use for your out-of-body techniques. For example, you could select your favorite chair for your first target. For your second, focus upon a gift or artwork that holds some special meaning to you. Third, select the most visually stimulating object available, such as your favorite painting, sculpture, or crystal. All three targets should be in the same room. After selecting your targets, physically walk to each one and examine every detail. Study each object from different perspectives; notice any imperfections or irregularities. Take your time with each object, memorizing the structure and texture of each target. Become aware of all of your senses during your walk, especially your sense of sight and touch. Repeat your observations several times until you can easily recall the smallest details of each target. Pay close attention to everything, including colors, textures, densities, reflections of light, coolness, and weight. Also feel and memorize the sensations associated with your walk from one target to another. In other words, Get Into It! Enjoy all the sensory input that you receive. 

The key to this technique is to focus and maintain your complete attention away from your physical body as you drift off to sleep. If you are persistent, the results will be dramatic. To enhance this exercise, take your time and repeat your physical and visual walk-through daily for thirty days. Get interested and involved in each target. This technique is a great way to increase your concentration and visualization skill and it only takes minutes to perform.  

It helps to select targets that are easy to visualize for yourself. Many people focus upon personal items that possess a sentimental attraction. Once you make a selection stay with it, the repetition of your visualization dramatically increases its effectiveness. This technique is one of my personal favorites. Over twenty-nine years ago I initiated my first OBE by focusing upon objects in my mother's home. I strongly believe that this technique can work for anyone who is willing to invest the time and effort. The key is to select target objects that are easy to visualize but interesting enough to hold your attention. Items that you have made such as a painting, a sculpture, a silk flower arrangement, or even a set of curtains can be extremely effective targets. As you progress with this technique you can increase the number and variety of the targets. After you become comfortable, you can expand your visualization to include an entire room. This technique is extremely effective, but it is up to you to take the steps. I highly recommend doing this and all techniques every day for at least 30 days. Daily practice is absolutely essential in order to train our conscious and subconscious mind to fully accept this shift of awareness. The time you invest will be richly rewarded.  

It's important to know that most OBE techniques will initiate the vibrational state. We generally do not immediately go to the target; instead we often consciously experience the phenomena known as the vibrational state. For more information concerning a wide variety of different techniques and the vibrational state please refer to, The Secret of the Soul and Adventures Beyond the Body.
