1.

Begin by placing a full length mirror in the room you have selected for out-of-body exploration. The mirror should be placed in a location which allows you to easily see your entire reflection without any physical movements.

2.

As you look into the mirror, begin to study and memorize your image. Become as objective as possible and view your reflection as an object you are about to paint in your mind. Pay close attention to the small details of your body and clothes. Take your time, and memorize everything you see.

3.

Close your eyes and begin to visualize yourself in as much detail as possible. Continue to repeat this procedure until you can clearly visualize yourself on the other side of the room.

4.

With your eyes closed visualize yourself standing on the opposite side of the room then begin to picture your imaginary self moving around the room. Take your time and slowly move your fingers and hands, then slowly begin to move your arms. Visualize your reflection moving its toes, feet and legs. As much as possible, become mentally and emotionally involved in your reflection. Begin to feel the sensations of movement you are experiencing. Feel the enjoyment of movement without a physical body. Become completely involved and immersed in the movements.

5.

As you become more deeply involved in your image's movement, feel yourself stand up and slowly begin to walk around the room. As you are walking, feel all the sensations associated with your movement.

6.

Begin to feel and picture yourself opening your imaginary eyes. As clearly as possible, feel your image looking around the room. At first this may feel as if you're pretending to see and observe your room from a new perspective - that's fine, just allow yourself to flow with all the visual sensations you receive. After some practice you will begin to notice an enhancement in your ability to see beyond the limits of your body.

7.

Take your time and enjoy the different parts of this technique. If you have difficulty in transferring your sense of sight, just focus on your other senses, such as touch, as much as possible. As you transfer the majority of your perceptions to your imaginary self, completely forget about your physical body and focus all of your attention upon your new sensations and sight. Completely relax and allow your physical body to fall asleep. As your body slowly goes to sleep, you will experience a transition or shift of your awareness from your physical to your nonphysical body. As this occurs, remember to remain calm and enjoy your new perception ability.

This technique is an excellent method to improve your visualization skills. Many people are surprised how easily they can visualize after a short period of practice. Take your time and enjoy the results.
