As most people are aware, "out-of-body-experience" (OBE) was first used by Bob Monroe, who felt strongly that terms such as "astral projection" had amassed too much cultural baggage. He coined a neutral appellation - Out-of-body - to represent the phenomenon.  

Even more strongly he believed that each of us who explores the nature of human consciousness is best served by following whatever method we are individually guided to use. "Go and find out for yourself," was his challenge.  

Bob was correct. Only we can know which methods and techniques are best for us. Only we can hear the quiet voice of our guidance whispering within. Nevertheless, for consciousness explorers who have been led to utilize the out-of-body state it's wise to tap the knowledge acquired by skilled out-of-body travelers.

One such traveler, Bill Buhlman, shares some of his proven techniques. Bill trains the OBE Intensive at TMI. Here are 9 steps to initiating an OBE using his "Early Morning Method":
