Type of Practice

This is a core practice and can be done alone in the evening or prior to sleep.

Method

Perform the previous exercise up to and including step number five.

Visualize a brilliant pentagram before you, inside the sphere of light. For now, make it bluish white or slightly silver. Later you can experiment with the various colors associated with the Elements.

Once this is done, breathe deeply, imagine a brilliant sphere of light in your solar plexus, and with all of your emotional energy, “will” or “push” your consciousness out of your physical body.

You may slightly tense your body as you do this. As you relax, feel your energy flow out towards the desired spot in the room on the other side of the pentagram.

Imagine that you are stepping out of your body and moving through the pentagram to that point.

It is acceptable to fall asleep at this stage of the exercise, as projection may result at this point.

If you do not fall asleep or sense any projection of consciousness, breathe deeply several times, holding each inhale for as long as comfortable and exhaling slowly. Sit or stand up and record your results.

You may visualize the Hebrew letter Aleph in the center of the pentagram to assist in your projection, as it assists in harmonizing your energies on a fundamental level. Shin can also be used, although its effects will be slightly different and more dramatic. If you have experienced one of the Palaces in a dream state or spontaneous projection, you may place one of the symbols you received in the center of the pentagram, coupled with the firm intention to get back to that specific level for your practice.
