inner pictures, called "tiredness-pictures" (because you can see them when you are
relaxing in a state of being tired). This kind of inner pictures you certainly have allready
experienced. An example: You have gone many miles for many hours. At home you fall
into a comfortable chair in order to have a nap. At the moment you close your eyes, you
have the movielike sight of roads, and you seem to glide along. Perhaps, if you are
explorative, you try to manipulate these pictures. With some attention and concentration
you are able to extend the duration of the inner movie and simultaneuously you can focus
details and gain three-dimensionality.
The same kind of inward directed concentration you can use as method for astral
projection, when awaking between brief sleep sequences in the morning (at this time you
have a better concentration as in the above mentioned case). Being refreshed enough to
have good concentration, you still have a remainder of ability to produce inner pictures.
Try to visualize an inner movie, like sliding through a landscape or along a road.
Everything now resembles a flying dream. If you have succeeded so far, try to stop the
impression of being moved (passively) and try to stand on your feet. If you do this, the
"movie" converts to a 3D-space world. Hold an object with a fixed gaze, until you
perceive every detail of it (to increase concentration). Then grasp any object and try to
feel roughness and structure, to become aware of full touch-perception (and to have a
good bodyfeeling).
Tunnel Method
In a state of deep relaxation imagine to enter a tunnel or cave leading to a tunnel (or
similar imaginations). Now you pass the tunnel with your attention directed on
bodyfeeling and vision. The tunnel usually stays dark for a long time, but nevertheless all
becomes more and more realistic to you. At last you see a light as a sign of the end of the
tunnel. When you leave the tunnel, you are in a realistic felt new world.
This is a prefered method in shamanism. It is as well a method, which is recommended to
be performed in a "half-sleep state", a state at the end of the REM phase.
You can consider the tunnel transition to an other state, here an OBE-state, as a very
natural thing. At the border of awaking you may occasional have a dream, in which you
pass a tunnel. As dream symbol the tunnel belongs to the category of border symbols (a
border between two states f.i.). Further tunnel observertions very often are reported in
NDE´s.
