Hi, I had a OBE some years ago and inspired by a book I found on sale I want to get back to it!
The book is called: Astral dynamics by Robert Bruce. It had High rating on Amazon so I got it. (smart phones are so handy!)
The way Robert teaches is instead of concentrating on buzzing sounds/feelings and a step by step guidance he teaches you to open up your energy levels, your shakras. It is according to him very important in order to succed.
Personally I have done some meditation before focusing on shakras, but have never really been persuaded if they actually exist or if they exist in my imagination. I am starting to follow his instructions but it is very time demanding and I am afraid it will get me no where. I had a look at his website: astraldynamics.com/
and it looked like your standard rip of website that just wants your money. However Robert seems very knowladgable so I doubt it´s a hoax.
What I simply wanted to ask: is there someone who have read the book/followed his teachings? what is you´r oppinion? (or if your experienced in OBE)
I’ve heard of lots of different methods of OBE’s, astral projection, et cetera all based off the manipulation of, and focus on, chakras. In all honesty, I’m not a spiritual person other than what I know, that being spirit/dream guides, and the manipulation of “energy”, which may or may not even be another form of chakra itself. We tend to have lots of different names for similar things that nobody truly understands at this point (I say we “dont understand” chakra because, come on, who’s actually seen it flowing through someones’ body before?).
To be perfectly honest: You don’t need “chakras” to have an OBE or an astral projection. Some people say it helps; I say its the spiritualism behind it. To manipulate/control chakras, most people prescribe meditation or some other form of focus, but this is also done by frequent OBE’ers to increase their focus and relaxation, a key component in the WILD technique and OBE’s in general.
In the end, it’s all up to you which practice you choose, I chose a more down to earth method, but that’s not to say I dont believe in chakras. If you want to buy his program, it couldn’t do any harm; just know it isn’t necessary.
There are tons of lucid dreaming and OBE programs out there that will teach you “the secrets of the astral world, and how to have OBE’s every night!”, but most of them will only teach you maybe one or two new methods, if you did your homework beforehand, most of it wont be new.
Now, if you have the money to spare, go for it! Learn all you can, compile that knowledge, then share the answers when necessary. You can’t go wrong with being omniscient
Oh! That’s Astral Bob! Astral Bob is pretty awesome. He’s not really about chakras, and you don’t need to buy his products. Here is his youtube channel, where he has complete videos on how to relax and different methods of “getting out”. Trust me, it’s not about chakras and you don’t have to give up money. Hit the youtube channel and check out some vids and you will realise what I mean.
Edit: I have not read his books, but I can vouch for his videos They match up with what a lot of other sources say, but in more “people friendly” ways.
Cool thanks alot both of you. It´s nice to hear he is not the only one saying that utilizing your chakras can help OBE. I have already bought the book and read a good chunk of it and i gotta say he seems to know his stuff. I will keep this thread somewhat updated on my progress and experiences!
