O procedimento abaixo foi extraído do livro "Paranormality" de Richard Wiseman, um psicólogo conceituado, pesquisador do paranormal, ilusionista e cético.
É essencialmente a mesma receita "vendida" pelos rosacruzes da AMORC (projeção da consciência) e pela projeciologia (Adriano, me corrija se estiver errado).
Você está certo quando mencionou que existe uma habilidade envolvida. Erro meu. Como estamos lidando com ilusões, o paciente deve desenvolver a habilidade de visualizar situações e objetos. Diria que a visualização é essencial para desenvolver e se lembrar de sonhos lúcidos que incluem a ilusão da viagem astral.
Tente a receita e conte aqui os resultados.
HOW TO LEAVE YOUR BODY
Understanding the real causes of out-of-body experiences can help you become a frequent flyer. The first part of the process involves developing three key psychological skills: relaxation, visualization and concentration. Let's examine each in turn.
Relaxation
'Progressive Muscle Relaxation' involves deliberately tensing various muscle groups and then releasing the tension. To try the technique, remove your shoes, loosen any tight clothing and sit in a comfortable chair in a quiet room. Focus your attention on your right foot. Gently inhale and clench the muscles in your foot as hard as possible for about five seconds. Next, exhale and release all of the tension, allowing the muscles to become loose and limp. Work your way around your body performing the procedure in the following order:
1. Right foot
2. Right lower leg
3. Entire right leg
4. Left foot
5. Left lower leg
6. Entire left leg
7. Right hand
8. Right forearm
9. Entire right arm
10. Left hand
11. Left forearm
12. Entire left arm
13. Abdomen
14. Chest
15. Neck and shoulders
16. Face
Each time, tense the appropriate body part for about five seconds and then release the tension.
Visualization
Inducing an out-of-body experience requires good visualization skills. If you are naturally good at imagining scenes and pictures in your head then that is great. If not, try the following exercise.
Imagine walking into your kitchen, taking an orange out of the cupboard and placing it on a green plate. Next, think about digging your nails into the smooth skin of the orange and starting to peel it. Think about how the orange would feel and smell. Visualize the juice coming out of the orange and onto your fingers. Imagine pulling all of the peel away and placing it on the plate. In your mind's eye, separate each of the segments and place them on the plate as well. Now look at the juicy segments. Are you salivating? Are the colours bright and sharp? Was each stage of the process vivid and did it involve all of your senses?
Repeat the exercise once every few days, trying to make it seem more realistic each time.
Concentration
The ability to focus your thoughts is also key to creating an out-of-body experience. This simple exercise will help assess and, if necessary, improve your concentration skills.
Try to count from 1 to 20 in your mind, moving onto each new number after a few seconds. However, the moment that any other thought or image enters your mind, start the count again. Initially, you will probably find this simple task surprisingly difficult, but over time you will learn how to focus your thoughts and will soon find yourself counting to 20 with no distractions.
Putting it all together
OK, it's time to try and induce an out-of-body experience. Sit in the most comfortable chair in your house. Next, stand up and take a look around. How does the room look from this perspective? Remember as many details as possible including, for example, the position of any furniture, the scene outside the window, and any pictures on the walls. Next, slowly make your way to another room. Once again, notice as much as possible on the way, including the colour of the walls, the
furniture and objects that you encounter, and the type of flooring that you are walking on. To help with the process, choose four key points along the route and remember them in as much detail as possible.
Now return to the original room and sit down in the chair. Carry out the 'Progressive Relaxation Exercise'. When you feel completely relaxed, imagine a duplicate of yourself standing in front of you. To avoid the difficult (and for many, unpleasant) task of visualizing your face, imagine that your doppelganger is standing with their back to you. Try to form an image of their clothes and the way they are standing. Now, think back to what you saw when you were actually standing in that position, and imagine moving from your body into theirs. Don't worry if you don't succeed at first. This is tricky stuff and usually requires some practice.
Once you manage to feel as though you have left your own body and entered the mind of your imaginary doppelganger, try to take a few steps along the route that you mapped out, stopping at each of the four points to admire the view. If you are struggling with the movement, some researchers recommend increasing your motivation by not drinking any liquid for a few hours before the experience, and placing a glass of water in the room that you intend to visit. Also, don't be afraid of the experience - remember, you can snap back into your body at any point. After you have got the hang of inducing an out-of- body experience, you should be able to fly around the world at will, limited only by your imagination and without feeling guilty about your carbon footprint.
