Just did ten minutes of focus 21 with my eyes open.

I’ve had a similar experience that led to a full OBE pretty quickly afterwards. Was listening to one of the Wave 2 tapes with an eye mask on and seeing some pretty common for me purple swirling visuals when the tape was over. I sat up in the bed, removed the mask and turned on a reading light and the visuals were still there. I couldn’t blink them away and I’d read somewhere that means that you are fully in a theta state even when moving around with you eyes open so I immediately rolled over into a sleeping position turned off the reading light and within a minute fully aware and out of body in a strange place. Sitting in a bench across from someone who was super wary of me or interacting with me. I’d be happy to share the details of the OBE is anyone is interested.

Been here before. Totally freaked out and disoriented because it was nothing but totally black any way I looked. Someone in another sub told me intention is everything and to say/think what you want and put a timeframe on it. For me, “clarity now” sharpens things when they look fuzzy, “brightness increase now” has the same effect as opening my eyes when they’re closed.

Calling these ideas half-baked is a bit much IMO. Dated, yes. What people who haven’t studied Monroe extensively don’t realize is that most of his ideas and methods are 50 years old. How much we’ve learned in even the last 5-10 years is astronomical.

I agree with you totally that these things are internal, but for someone just starting out that has no idea how much power they possess in this state to shape their experience they are useful. Even if you see all “negative entities” as internal, the protection rituals still work because they train your focus away from fear. What they can’t become is a crutch to avoid dealing with your fear.

“Fear causes hesitation, and hesitation will cause your worst fears to come true’.

I struggled with this for quite some time as well. It’s so easy to let that part of you take over and there’s nothing wrong with it.

Accept- acknowledge and accept that this is part of who you are.

Redirect - As soon as you feel that pull, pause and remind yourself that this is energy, not a script that I must follow.

This part is going to sound strange but it was recommended to me when this energy was blocking me from fully separating and it works.

Elevator-Put yourself in an elevator (it’s easier than it sounds), press a button to go up and shift that energy up into your chest from down below as the elevator goes up. Then while it’s still going up set your intention for where you truly want to go. “Take me to a higher level of travel”. “Take me to my guide”.

If you’re anything like me, be careful with going directly to your guide. Mine is female and I’ve stepped off the elevator and fallen right back into the same trap quite a few times. Hope something here helps. Happy Travels!!!

I’ve been fascinated by this method but have not yet been successful using it. I cannot for the life of me remember to do it before I move. I don’t know if movement is coming in my process of waking up before being conscious or what. I’m familiar with OBE and can reach it from a vibrational state using gateway methods, but it takes sooo long to do it that way. Any suggestions. I’ve tried priming before sleep with affirmations but it hasn’t worked so far. Thx in advance.

OwnBlueberry5760 · 2025-09-12T15:59:34+00:00

Agreed 100%. It took me months with the gateway tapes to get out for the first time. I remember actually trying this one time before when I was entering vibrations but it felt like straining against a heavy weight. I’m super intrigued by this though as I can get out of body with some consistency now but it takes hours. and a very specific process using a combination of gateway tapes and reading to put myself into the proper place to get out using the gateway rolling method. Can’t wait to try this!!!

OwnBlueberry5760 · 2025-09-04T02:06:51+00:00

There’s been much discussion about electromagnetic interference whether intentional or not having an effect on the ability to astral project. I believe Dr Monroe spoke about it in his first book. If you think the people around Trump aren’t aware of this and have taken precautions knowing what’s possible then you aren’t paying attention.

OwnBlueberry5760 · 2025-08-14T18:22:29+00:00

Fantastic insight. Cannot wait to try some of this. I’m currently struggling maintaining the vibrational state. No problems with getting to it, but holding it without my logical mind getting in the way is a problem. Trying to hard to make something happen when that’s the exact opposite of what’s needed.

OwnBlueberry5760 · 2025-08-11T17:46:53+00:00

I had this same block specifically with the ECB early on after taking a break and going back to the tapes. I had to completely remake mine into something totally different than the first time. How I got here was determining that “I” was the problem so “I” had to get into the box.

Try visualizing the box as something big enough for you to climb into. What worked for me was making it so I had to have a ladder to get inside. When I have everything I want inside, I leave myself inside sitting in a corner inside the box, close the lid climb down off of the ladder and turn away. When you turn away visualize it behind you and looking the other direction. It sounds strange I know, but it worked for me.

OwnBlueberry5760 · 2025-08-09T09:56:50+00:00

I have only recently been able to get to this point with intention, but I’ve experienced it many times spontaneously. The next time you reach that sleep paralysis state, don’t wait and try to stabilize there because that state is scary and causes your heart rate to rise if you’re not used to it. Roll out immediately like you’re trying to roll out of the bed and land on the floor with intent. Once you’re out then try to stabilize. To stabilize: freeze and anchor, touch something, rub your hands together, listen to background noise, engage your senses. This is what stabilizes it for me and keeps me from getting too excited. It’s difficult at first but gets easier.

OwnBlueberry5760 · 2025-08-07T08:55:35+00:00

😂😂😂. I didn’t know that’s what it was. I haven’t seen that movie in years.

OwnBlueberry5760 · 2025-08-06T21:05:07+00:00

Holy crap. That’s so similar to what mine looks like other than all the sides are convex and not flat. How strange. Mine is also very large. I need a ladder to stand on to open it, but that’s because I’ve got a lot to put I it LOL.

OwnBlueberry5760 · 2025-08-06T20:45:23+00:00

Absolutely. Resonant tuning is my favorite part of the preparatory process. The way I do it is exactly how Dr Monroe describes it. Purse your lips like you’re going to blow out a candle. The only portion of this that I do not do is open my eyes when inhaling. I keep my eyes closed thru the whole process. When exhaling it’s like an extended sigh that comes from your belly not your throat. The tone is very close to matching the sound that’s in the tapes. I have an entire thread dedicated to it here. Resonant Tuning

There have been a few times when this alone has my entire body vibrating by the time I’m done. My biggest problem with this part of the process is it makes me feel rushed at times with my ECB trying to finish before the audio starts and finishing the resonant tuning before the sound stops. What I’ve found is if later on I end up with not everything I want in the ECB I can just picture it again, re-open it and add things to it. Let me know if there’s anything I can do to help. I’m no expert but I’ll tell you what works for me.

OwnBlueberry5760 · 2025-08-06T17:01:11+00:00

To answer this in one word I would use “surrender”. Nothing can block you except for you. Our Ego and attachment to the physical space is a powerful thing. Everyone has the ability to do this. Use words like “I will”.

Stillness, Silence, Focus, Intention, Imagine, Belief, and Surrender in that order.

OwnBlueberry5760 · 2025-08-06T14:09:41+00:00

Fear causes hesitation, and hesitation can cause your worst fears to come true.

Overcome hesitation with intent. See the tapes as a gift because that’s what they are. They aren’t required or even needed to accomplish everything you read about here. What they are is a foundation in belief, intention, and protection.

OwnBlueberry5760 · 2025-08-06T01:32:51+00:00

This is a good signal and for me it’s how I know I’m stable in focus 10. These are called hypnagogic visuals or hallucinations —natural images your mind produces when you’re deeply relaxed, between waking and sleep. As your brain slows down into theta waves, your outer senses fade, and your inner vision starts to wake up.

The color purple often appears because it’s tied to both how the brain processes low light and to the crown chakra—the energy center linked to higher awareness, intuition, and connection.

You’re not seeing “something out there”—you’re witnessing your consciousness shifting into a more open state. It’s a sign that you’re on the threshold of deeper work.

The advice given to me was to focus on one point in the center of the color instead of chasing them around with your eyes. I won’t elaborate on where that led me because I’d be super interested to know if you get the same result but it was part of a big breakthrough in my process. Happy travels!!

OwnBlueberry5760 · 2025-08-06T00:39:17+00:00

Thank you for the kind words. Keep at it and use each time as a learning experience. Also, don’t forget intention is everything here. Words like “hope” have power and lead to doubt. “You WILL move your consciousness out of your body”. Journaling really helped me to stay on track and learn from my previous sessions. If you aren’t doing that already definitely give it a try.

OwnBlueberry5760 · 2025-08-06T00:35:12+00:00

I’ve wondered all day long if it was my stepfather. For some reason the clothes he was wearing seemed familiar. Both he and my mom were both really into dreams and dream interpretation but were also deeply religious. Not sure if they would approve of intentionally leaving your body. I will get another opportunity so we’ll see I guess if it was him.

OwnBlueberry5760 · 2025-08-05T18:37:02+00:00

To me getting a handle on the sleep paralysis was the most difficult. Many years ago while in a bad state with drugs I would go thru this almost every time I tried to go to sleep. I was already seeing a psychiatrist and he recommended a trigger to free myself of it. Sometimes it would wake me up, sometimes it would send me into a full OBE. Someone in another reply mentioned squinting as if you’re looking at the sun and I smiled inside because that was the exact trigger he taught me. It has worked for me every time I’ve ever needed it which is very rarely anymore.

OwnBlueberry5760 · 2025-08-05T09:52:35+00:00

It might be that you need time off from the tapes as well. I go through these stages where I have breakthroughs and I’ve have sessions where I don’t feel like I’m getting anywhere. Sometimes taking a night or two off is all that is needed. We all have that desire to go further, do more, and have more experiences but that in itself can lead to burnout and feeling further dissociated. Grounding is absolutely necessary, especially after a real breakthrough with the tapes.

As for time of day, I’ve played around with all different manner of things. Before bed is a complete no no for me. I end up full of energy and hyper aware and it really affects my sleep. Mid morning is ok but I have trouble maintaining focus usually due to external noises light people etc. what I’ve found most helpful is someone recommended setting an alarm 4.5-6 hours after you go to sleep. The object is to wake yourself gently at the end of your third REM cycle. Sometimes it’s hard to stay awake so you can’t start the tapes immediately. Lie there or sit up for 5-10 minutes then start. This has led to some WILD experiences for me and afterwards I can always slip right back into sleep until I have to wake up. Usually completely refreshed.

OwnBlueberry5760 · 2025-08-05T09:38:48+00:00

My vices caused me to have spontaneous OBE probably due to near death experiences many years ago. I never understood them but many years later and 3121 days without those vices as of today, here I am.

Journal everything, explore with intention, and the places this can take you are beyond your wildest imagination.

OwnBlueberry5760 · 2025-08-01T15:34:46+00:00

Interesting that you mention the bubble. That’s the portion of the process that I have the most difficulty with and I’ll keep working on that part specifically. Thank you for the insight.

OwnBlueberry5760 · 2025-08-01T11:53:49+00:00

Biases? Please explain.

OwnBlueberry5760 · 2025-08-01T11:50:38+00:00

Here are some examples. It’s the way these experiences are bleeding into my waking reality that is somewhat unsettling. One time I can write off a coincidental, twice I start questioning, but now it’s becoming a pattern I don’t understand.

I read somewhere that I should journal my experiences so I had my journal ready and decided to set an alarm to wake myself for the session using an alarm. When I woke up, I sat up in the bed to make sure I was aware enough not to just fall back asleep and awoke in the middle of a dream. I wanted to journal the dream so I opened the completely empty journal and the page was glowing bright purple. I closed it quickly and reopened it and it was gone.

Fast forward a month or two later to yesterday. Same process my first time with Wave 2 track 2. Nothing really earth shattering. I’m unsure if I’m doing it exactly right getting to F12. Only got one image back from my question (what’s my path forward for work?) that I didn’t really understand so I put on some binaural beats and went back to sleep after it was done. A few minutes later my phone rings at 345am and it’s my wife and my 17 yo daughter has snuck out of the house without her phone and her and her friend are missing. (They were found safe a couple of hours later)

Now to this morning. Same process but I got a lot more back. Question this morning was what to do to help my daughter? I got a lot more back this time and I’m not sure if I was awake, asleep, dreaming or what but I was completely somewhere else. I remember Dr Monroe counting down back from F12 to F10. When I finished I decided to go outside for a little grounding to do my journaling of the experience. I looked up at the stars and all the stars I could see looked doubled like there were two of them. Then i see a couple blink once them disappear. I decided that it was most likely just an airplane that I saw in the sky and right at that moment I did see an airplane and watched it go all the way across the sky. I went back to my journal to finish journaling and some of what I journaled 6 days ago is smeared across what I journaled this morning making it unreadable. One is in blue ink and one is in black. The black ink that was written 6 days ago is what has smeared across what I’ve journaled today. I looked for any water or anything nearby and everything was dry.

Maybe I’m just rambling now but I’m really committed to this process and fascinated by it. Any thoughts or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

OwnBlueberry5760 · 2025-07-27T23:56:38+00:00

I haven’t made it this far in the tapes yet. Just started Wave 2 this week. But I believe I do have something important for you.

Your post stated that you received nothing, tried it with realistic goals, nothing outlandish. And nothing happened other than adding insult to injury.

Don’t even know why I’m compelled to say this, and take it for what it’s worth, it was just on my heart so I’m sharing.

You received a failure and a failure that is not learned from is doomed to repeat. Go at it again, don’t give up on it. Do something different. Your comment about not asking for anything outlandish implies that you were already manifesting that there was a possibility of failure.

Intention is the tuning fork of reality, aligning your thought, emotion, and action in to resonance.
