The practice of phase states of the mind (ultimate yoga) is the
hottest and most promising pursuit of the modern age. nli!e in the
past" the notions of #lucid dreaming$" #out%of%body e&perience$ and
#astral pro'ection$ hae already lost their mystical halo" and their real basis has been studied in minute detail from the most non%nonsense
approach. o*" this phenomenon is accessible to eeryone"
regardless of their *orldie*. +t is no* !no*n ho* to easily master
it and apply it effectiely. This te&tboo! gies each and eery personsomething that preiously could only be dreamt about % a parallel
reality and the possibility of e&isting in t*o *orlds. This boo! is for pragmatic people *ho are not used to ta!ing anything on faith or
reading about empty theories. The boo! only deals *ith *hat *or!s
in practice" and nothing else.

Part 1
Entering the Pha&e State
Chapter 1 – eneral Ba!"ground
$9E ESSE+CE O2 $9E P96SE P9E+O,E+O+
The term phase state (or simply phase) encompasses a number of
*idely !no*n dissociatie phenomena" many of *hich are referred to
by arious terms" such as astral or out-of-"ody e#perience. This
concept also includes the more pragmatic term lucid drea$ing " butdoes not al*ays e&ist in the sense and form implied by that
e&pression. 8ence" the term phase has been introduced to ease the
study of phenomena that e&ist beyond habitual I and often unfair %
associations and stereotypes. The term out-of-"ody e#perience isaccurate to the e&tent that it describes the sensation felt by a person
e&periencing the phase phenomenon. % phase has t&o pri$ary attri"utes' 1() practitioners possess full,
conscious a&areness during the e#perience, and 2() practitioners
recogni*e a genuine separation fro$ the physical "ody(
6imultaneously" the degree to *hich practitioners perceie the
phase enironment affects the leel of sensory e&periences therein"
*hich often occur in a higher form than the sensory e&periences of*a!efulness. This concept is difficult to imagine *ithout firsthand
e&perience of the phase. 3nd so" it is not *ithout reason that this
practice is considered to be a higher state of self%hypnosis or
meditation" and is often referred to under different names as the
highest possible human achieement in arious religious and
mystical moements (yoga" 7uddhism" etc.).

+n essence" the phase is an une&plored state of mind *here one is
unable to control and feel his physical body. +nstead" his space
perception is filled *ith realistic phantom e&periences.
Interesting Fact!
Sensations in the phase state can "e so realisticthat practitioners &ho unintentionally enter phase
often "elieve they are still in the physical "ody, that
the e#perience is occurring in the &a+ing state(
These types of unintended e#cursions $ost often
occur at night or early in the $orning(
+t is belieed that up to one 4uarter of the human population has
encountered this phenomenon. 8o*eer" if ariations and differentdegrees of intensity of the state are ta!en into consideration" it may
be safely assumed that eeryone has encountered the phase. 6ince the
phase is a rare sub'ect of study" many *ho inadertently enter it donot reali?e *hat has ta!en place once they return to *a!efulness.
Many do not assign any significance to the occurrence of a phase
enironment that is not fully formed because shallo* phases dont
leae the same 'olting impression as deep states. Elusie as the phase
may seem" this is an e&tremely common phenomenon" accessible to
1C

anyone *illing to consciously learn and apply the correct methods ofachieing and maintaining the phase.
W9Y E+$E: $9E P96SE;
6uch a 4uestion can only arise from not fully understanding the
properties of the phenomenon and its nature. 0hen one suddenlyunderstands at a certain moment that he is 'ust as real as he normally
is" and is standing some*here that is not in the physical *orld *ith
his same hands and body" and can touch eerything around him and
discern fine details" such much emotion stirs up inside him that no
4uestions arise at all. This is the $ost a$a*ing e#perience that a person can attain The initial phase encounter is al*ays 'olting and sometimes
frightening. 9epending on the indiidual" fear e&perienced during
initial encounters *ith the phase occurs in about one%third of all
cases. Een eteran practitioners encounter fear" *hich spea!s to the
profound nature of the phase state.
0ith time" as rapture ebbs and emotions *ane" thoughts turn from
the fact of the phenomenon itself to*ards ho* to someho* use it.3nd here" a fantastically dierse field of practical application opens
up before the practitioner. These applications I *hich this boo!
communicates I are not to be associated *ith the many unproen and
dubious methods often described in sundry esoteric literature. The
information presented herein is erifiable" practical" and attainable. 0hateer the nature of the phase % a state of mind" or perhaps an
e&ternal e&perience % this is the sole opportunity to/ isit any part of
the *orld or unierseJ see people *ho are out%of%reach in real life"
including relaties" the deceased" celebrities" and arious creaturesJ
communicate *ith the enormous resources of the subconscious mind
and obtain information from itJ reali?e desires that are unattainable inreal lifeJ model artistic productionsJ influence physiology" and more.
These are not dull e&periences. They are eminently personal and real.

+t must be said that arious diets" e&ercises" rituals" and so forthdo not produce noticeable supplementary effects to proper practice of
the phase. aturally e&istent psychological and physiological comfort
is of the utmost importance. Thus" methods recommending
oereating" under%eating" or tormenting oneself *ith arious diets andstrange e&ercises are useless and ultimately detrimental to a
practitioners *ellness and balance" inariably producing a negatieimpact to the effectieness of techni4ues taught in this guideboo!.
3dditionally" no meaningful association has been found bet*een
practice of the phase and *hat may be construed as #bad habits$.
Regardless of a lifestyles null effect on phase achieement" a
healthy" actie lifestyle *ill al*ays be recommended to en'oy a good4uality of liing.
Interesting Fact!
f one "elieves that it is necessary to position
one.s "ed &ith the head"oard facing the /orth&est
or so$e other direction in order to have $ore
effective out-of-"ody e#periences, then doing so &ill
invaria"ly have a positive effect on results( 0o&ever, the issue at hand is not the positioning of
the "ody, "ut a "elief that is a+in to an intention,
&hich in turn is enor$ously i$portant(
+t has been obsered that a regular and orderly lifestyle increasesthe fre4uency of genuine" lasting phase e&periences. 6leeping
normally and soundly is the most basic e&le of a lifestyle choice
that produces direct" positie impact on results" especially *hen a
practitioner commits to a full nightGs rest seeral times a *ee!.

3 noice practitioner must understand the procedure for learning
and mastering phase entry. This procedure consists of seeral
primary steps" each of *hich is a uni4ue science unto itself.

1. The first and most important step addresses the techni4uesused to enter the phase state. +t is not necessary to master eery
type of entrance techni4ue (direct" indirect" dream consciousness).
2earning and applying the easiest techni4ues proides the
necessary prere4uisites to more adanced methods. +f so desired"it is possible to try more difficult entrance techni4ues in parallel
*ith the moing on to the subse4uent steps for mastering the phase.
-. ontrary to popular opinion" the need for conscious
techni4ues does not cease upon phase entrance. +t is absolutely
necessary to learn and apply methods for deepening the phase to
achiee a consistently hyper%realistic enironment. Failing toapply deepening techni4ues almost guarantees that e&periences*ill be dull" uninteresting" and subse4uent practice short%lied.
Practitioners should immediately learn and apply deepening
techni4ues after mastering any one entrance method.
:. The third step inoles mastering techni4ues for maintaining
the phase" as *ithout them the aerage person *ould hae phase
e&periences of much shorter duration than is possible. 0hen in
the phase" the 4uestion of ho* to leae it almost neer occurs. Onthe contrary" one is normally thrust from it in the course of
seeral seconds if one simply does nothing.
<. 3fter learning all the necessary techni4ues for mastering the
phase state" it is time to learn and apply methods of control"
*hich encompass the ability to translocate" find and interact *ithob'ects" influence surroundings" and so forth.
=. Once the preiously noted steps hae been accomplished" a
practitioner may proceed to apply phase e&periences to enhance
eeryday life. Oer the course of this guideboo!" *e *ill e&amine
do?ens of these aluable applications in great detail.

"elief in the pheno$enon( t ust happens,
and a large "ody of evidence has "een gathered to support this fact( ven $ore
interesting is that spontaneous e#periences
often occur after a "rief study of $ateriala"out the topic, li+e this guide"oo+(((
3irect techni4ues are perfor$ed &ithout any noticea"le lapse inconsciousness( 5hile practicing direct techni4ues, a lapse into sleep
for less than 6 $inutes is not considered a "reach of the techni4ue(
7y definition" direct techni4ues encompass the performance of
specific actions for a pre%defined interal of time. 6uccessfullyapplied" direct methods result in a phase entrance *ithout passingthrough any intermediary states. For BCK of the population" these
techni4ues are the most difficult because the mind naturally e&ists in
an e&cessiely actie state. +t has been clearly proen *ithin the
6chools student body that noice practitioners do not benefit from
beginning a training regimen *ith direct techni4ues. This is because
direct techni4ues re4uire a thorough understanding and masterful
application of indirect techni4ues in order to be effectie. Theincorrect notion that the phase state is e&tremely difficult to enter is
due to the fact that people are more often dra*n to the more difficult
direct techni4ues. +t is al*ays better to approach direct techni4ues
only after becoming e&pert in the use of indirect techni4ues.
ndirect techni4ues are techni4ues that are put into practice upona&a+ening fro$ sleep(
The effectieness of indirect techni4ues is not dependent on the
length of the prere4uisite sleep cycle. +ndirect techni4ues can be used
*hile e&iting a full nights sleep" after a daytime catnap" or follo*ing
seeral hours of deep sleep. The most important thing is that there isa lapse of consciousness into sleep before implementing the
techni4ues.
+ndirect techni4ues are the easiest techni4ues to practice" *hich is
*hy many practitioners use them to enter the phase. 6leep naturally proides the mind *ith deep rela&ation" *hich is often difficult to
1=

ac4uire by other methods. 6ince sleep is re4uired to perform indirecttechni4ues" it is a conenient" oft%occurring means to conduct
e&periments *ith the phase. oice practitioners benefit greatly from
the use of indirect techni4ues" and learn firsthand the possibility of
phase entrance.
3rea$ consciousness is ac4uired "y techni4ues that allo&
entrance to the phase through &hat is co$$only referred to as luciddrea$ing(
+n this case" the phase begins *hen the a*areness that a dream is
occurring happens *ithin the dream itself. 3fter becoming conscious
*hile dreaming" seeral types of actions can be performed" includingreturning to the body and rolling out" *hich *ill be described later.0hen deepening techni4ues are applied in the conte&t of a conscious
dream" the sensory perceptions of the phase surpass those of normal
*a!efulness.
Techni4ues that facilitate dream consciousness are usually
categori?ed separately from methods used to perform out%of%body
traelJ in practice" ho*eer" it is apparent that the characteristics of
dream consciousness and out%of%body trael are identical" *hich places both phenomena directly in the phase. These practices are
difficult because" unli!e other techni4ues" they do not inole
specific actions that produce instantaneous results. 3 large measure
of preparatory steps must be obsered that re4uire time and effort
*ithout any guarantee of results. 8o*eer" dream consciousnesstechni4ues are not as difficult as direct techni4ues. Moreoer" the
ma'ority of practitioners" *hether using indirect or direct techni4ues"

apply techni4ues aimed at dream consciousness.
+n addition to the techni4ues described aboe" there are also non%autonomous means and tools/ arious deices" programs" e&ternal
influences" and so forth" *hich can be used to enter the phase. +t is
necessary to mention that these are only useful to practitioners *ho
are able to enter the phase *ithout supplementary assistance.

;arious chemical substances and herbal supplements hae beenrecommended to assist phase entrance" though using them is unli!ely
to do any good" and use of these has neer yielded the effect that can
be achieed through unadulterated practice. 3s such" the use of a
chemical crutch is regarded here as completely unacceptable.
CO+$:6I+(IC6$IO+S
E&act scientific proof that entering the phase is dangerous I or
een safe % does not e&istJ there has neer been an e&haustie"
controlled study to proe either supposition. 8o*eer" since the
phase e&ists at the fringes of naturally%occurring states of mind" it canhardly be assumed dangerous. otably" the phase is accompanied byrapid eye moement (REM)" *hich eery human e&periences for up
to - hours each night" and this begins to e&plain the phase e&perience
as entirely safe and natural.
3lready confirmed are the psychological influences of the phase
on the physical mind and bodyJ namely" the emotional effects that
can occur during the onset of the phase state.
Phase entry is a ery profound" incredible e&perience that mayinduce fear" *hich is ino!ed by a natural instinct for self%
preseration. The phase can create stress. This is especially true for
noices and those poorly ac4uainted *ith the nature of the
phenomenon and techni4ues used to control it. 0ithout !no*ledge
and proper practice" a fear%induced reaction can escalate into full% blo*n terror. 3fter all" *hile in the phase" fantasy 4uic!ly becomes
reality" and reticent fears can ta!e on hyper%realistic 4ualities. 0hen
this occurs" its not the phase enironment" but the fear that is
treacherous. +t goes *ithout saying that fear is a to&ic influence"
especially to sensitie souls" the elderly" and people *ith physical
ailments" li!e certain cardioascular conditions. This does not meanthat persons in these groups should abstain from practicing the phase.
The solution is to learn about and aoid common stressors associated
*ith the practice" !no* the mechanics of controlling ob'ects" and
understand the principles of ma!ing an emergency e&it.

5ien the possibility of negatie phase e&periences" it could beadised that practitioners limit the time in phase to fifteen minutes"
though it is 4uite e&ceptional to maintain the phase for such duration.
Proposed time limits are entirely theoretical and motiated by the fact
that natural REM does not normally last longer than fifteen minutes"and" at the ris! of side effects due to the alteration of natural cycles"
e&periments directed at unnaturally prolonging REM are notrecommended.

The ne&t step to mastering indirect techni4ues is choosing the
right techni4ues that suit indiidual predispositions. There is no point
in going for one techni4ue or another only because they loo!
interesting and because someone *rote a lot or spo!e a lot aboutthem. The choice should be based strictly upon *hat suits an
indiidual practitioner.
Out of all of the enumerated primary indirect techni4ues" practically only straining the brain *or!s easily and 4uic!ly for B=K
of practitioners. 3ll other techni4ues *or! immediately for only
about -=K to =CK of practitioners during initial training. 8o*eer"after seeral training sessions" each techni4ue yields results for @=K

+t is *orth noting that the final selection of techni4ues should be

The !ey to practice is the 4uantity and 4uality of attempts made
that hone a practitioners s!ills. There are seeral *indo*s of time best suited for employing indirect techni4ues.
To begin" it should be stated that sleep follo*s a cyclical pattern.

*hich gies rise to sleep cycles. Furthermore" *e e&perience t*o
primary stages of sleep/ rapid eye moement (REM) sleep" and non%rapid eye moement (REM) sleep. REM sleep includes many
internal stages. The more *e sleep" the less the body needs deep
REM sleep" and the more time *e spend in REM sleep. Phaseentrance is most li!ely to occur during REM sleep.
The best *ay to implement indirect techni4ues is by the deferred$ethod . The aim of the method is to interrupt a sleep cycle during its

final stage and then disrupt it again after falling bac! to sleep" *hich
ma!es sleep light during the rest of the sleep cycle. 6leep
accompanied by fre4uent interruptions can be put to productie uses.
For e&le" if a practitioner (lets call him ac!) goes to sleep at
midnight" then ac! should set an alarm for > ocloc! in the morning.pon a*a!ening" ac! should engage in some sort of physical
actiity" li!e going to the bathroom" getting a drin! of *ater" or

bed thin!ing about ho*" *ithin the ne&t t*o to four hours" he *ill
*a!e up multiple times and ma!e an attempt to enter the phase
during each a*a!ening.
+f ac! goes to bed earlier" then his alarm cloc! should be set bac! by that amount of time" since si& hours of initial sleep is the optimal
length of time. +f ac! sleeps less than si& hours" then the second half
of his nights sleep *ill be too deep. +f ac! sleeps longer than si&
hours" then there *ill be little time remaining for attempts" or ac!
may not een be able to fall asleep. +f a practitioner naturally *a!es up in a forceful manner" it *ill be
difficult to regain sleep. Thus" it *ill not be necessary for the
practitioner to get out of bed *ith the aid of an alarm. The practitioner should attempt to go right bac! to sleep.
aturally" the deferred method is most applicable in cases *here
it is possible to sleep as long as a practitioner desires" *ithout haingto *a!e up early. ot eeryone en'oys such lu&ury on a daily basis"
but nearly eeryone has days off *hen time may be set aside to
practice the deferred method. t is in large $easure due to the
deferred $ethod that classroo$ courses at the School of Out-of-BodyTravel allo& up to 298 of class participants to enter the phase in the
course of a single &ee+end The second most effectie *indo* of time for entering the phase
is ordinary $orning a&a+ening( This generally occurs during light
slumber follo*ing a full nights sleep.
3nother effectie time to practice indirect techni4ues is after
a*a!ening from a daytime nap. Once again" this type of sleep *ill be
light and short" *hich proides the body needed rest *hile allo*ing

a*a!ening. 3gain" not eeryone has the lu&ury of ta!ing daytime
naps" but if such a chance arises" then it *ould be ery beneficial to
ta!e adantage of the opportunity.
/ightti$e a&a+enings are the least effectie times for phasee&perimentation because the brain still re4uires a lot of deep sleep at
this time. 3*a!ening at night" the mind is 4uite *ea! and hardly
capable of any effort. Een if some results are obsered" a*a!ening
often ends *ith 4uic!ly falling bac! asleep. This is not to say that
normal practice of the phase cannot occur at nightJ it 'ust *ont be as
effectie as at other times. The nighttime option is best for those *ho
lac! an opportunity to use other *indo*s of time for practicing the phase.

this is an difficult barrier to entry that can een seem insurmountable.
+f such thoughts arise" one should simply understand that this cannot be so" and that persistent attempts and training are the !ey solution.
The reasons *hy people are unable to remember practicing the
phase upon a*a!ening are/ not being in the habit of immediately
doing anything upon a*a!ening" a desire to sleep longer" a desire to
go to the bathroom" being thirsty" a desire to suddenly start solingday%to%day problems" and so on.
onscious a*a!ening *ith the intent of attempting an indirect
techni4ue should be a practitioners primary goal" *hich should be pursued at eery cost. The speed at *hich the phase is learned and
e&perienced depends on this.
There are seeral effectie tric!s to learning consciousa*a!ening/
ntention upon falling asleep' This is the ery important to
successfully achieing conscious a*a!ening. 3 ery clear scientific
fact has been proen by somnologists (scientists *ho study sleep)/upon a*a!ening" people usually thin! about *hat they had been
thin!ing about before falling asleep. This phenomenon is easy toobsere if the sleeper is e&perience a serious life problemJ they fall
asleep *ith the problem and *a!e *ith it. 6o" in a case li!e this" if
difficulties at the front of the mind are replaced *ith a desire to
practice the phase" this *ill produce the desired effect. +t is not
necessary to thin! solely about conscious a*a!ening *hile falling
asleep. +t is sufficient to simply affirm the intention clearly and
8/12/2019 Yoga of the Inner World
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/yoga-of-the-inner-world 42/235
distinctly" een state the intention out loud. Practicing these types of
conscious actions *hile entering sleep *ill do much to promote the
success of indirect techni4ues upon a*a!ening.
;eneral intent' The more clearly a practitioner concentrates on the
importance and necessity of *a!ing up and immediatelyremembering to practice the techni4ues" the more solid the intent *ill
become" and the more li!ely the process *ill fulfill its role and
actually lead to results.
%ffir$ing desires' 6ometimes an internal intention is simply not
enough for some people" or they are unable to properly affirm one by
irtue of indiidual characteristics. +n this case" an affirmation of
desires should be introduced at the physical leel. This could be inthe form of a note *ith a description of a goal placed ne&t to the bed"
under ones pillo*" or hung on the *all. +t could be a conersation
*ith friends or family about the particular desire" or by repeatedly
ocali?ing the actions that need to be performed upon a*a!ening. +t
could een be an entry in a diary" blog" or te&ting on a mobile phone. %naly*ing unsuccessful a&a+enings( 3naly?ing unsuccessful
attempts at conscious a*a!ening is e&tremely important. 0hen
remembering the failed attempt after seeral minutes" seeral hours"or een later in the day" focus on it and resole to succeed during the
ne&t attempt. 9eep e&ploration of the failure is highly effectie and
practical since the practitioner is learning *hat *or!s" *hat doesnt*or!" and ma!ing healthy resolutions to*ard success.
:reating $otivation' The greater the desire to enter into the phase
to accomplish a goal there" the 4uic!er successful conscious
a*a!ening is achieed. Motiation is be created by a great desire todo or e&perience something in the phase. +n general" preious isits to
the phase are great motiation" but an uninitiated person does not!no* it and *ill need something to *hich they can relate. For some"
this could be a childhood dream of flying to Mars" for others it could
be the opportunity to see a loed one *ho has passed a*ay" for
another it could be the chance to obtain specific information" or
influence the course of a physical illness" and so forth.

3side from natural methods to achiee conscious a*a!ing" there
are arious deices and tools that facilitate a measure of success.
These *ill be coered in hapter = in the section describing non%
autonomous *ays of entering the phase.
The "est $o$ent for conscious a&a+ening is &hile e#iting a
drea$( This is the $ost effective and productive ti$e to atte$pt separation or perfor$ing the techni4ues( 3t this moment" physical
a*areness of the body is at a minimum. 3*areness at the ery end of
a dream often occurs after nightmares" painful e&periences in the
dream" falling dreams I any dream that causes a sudden a*a!ening.
0ith time" one should deelop a refle& that enables one to
perform planned actions at the moment of a*a!ening" but *henconsciousness itself has not yet had time to return. This type of refle&
is highly beneficial to sei?ing the most fruitful of opportunities to
enter the phase.
9ue to arious psychological and physiological factors" it is not
possible for eery person to achiee conscious a*a!ening after eerysleep cycle. Thus" there is no point in becoming upset if conscious
a*a!ening does not occur eery time. E&periencing only - to :
a*a!enings per day is normalJ this is sufficient enough to attempt phase entrance - to = times per *ee! *hen practiced daily.
+t is not *orth getting carried a*ay *ith an e&cessie number of
attempts. 9uring the 6chools courses" it has been noted that doing 1Cconscious a*a!enings or more (some students try -C or een :C) oer
the course of one night and morning rarely yields results. This is due
to the fact that if one sets oneself a goal that is desired so much that
its reali?ation brea!s the natural rhythms of the body" one depriesoneself of the intermediate" transitional states that ma!e the phase
effectie. 3 practitioner may also 4uic!ly become emotionallye&hausted from the large number of attempts and be unable to push
limits in the right direction. The upside is that one *ill simply tire
out. +f that starts to happen" it is better to calm do*n and try to
approach the matter in a more rela&ed manner" eenly and gradually.

another important re4uirement is a*a!ening *ithout moing" *hich
is difficult since many people *a!e up and moe. pon a*a!ening"
scratching" stretching" opening the eyes" and listening to real soundsshould be aoided. 3ny real moement or perception *ill ery
4uic!ly disintegrate the intermediate state and introduce reality" the

3t first" a*a!ening *ithout moing seems difficult or een
impossible. 8o*eer" it has been proen that this is remedied for
through actie attempts and the desire to achiee set goals. People
often claim that they cannot a*a!en *ithout moing" that its animpossible e&perience. 8o*eer" after seeral attempts" it *ill
happen" and it *ill occur more and more fre4uently *ith practice.
Thus" if there is difficulty in a*a!ening *ithout moement" do
not despair" 'ust !eep trying. 6ooner or later" the body *ill yield to
the practice" and eerything *ill happen smoothly. 3*a!ening *ithout moing is ery important because" for the
ma'ority of people" e&periments *ith the phase are not possible
e&cept in the first *a!ing moments *here *a!ing *ithout moingsets the stage for successful indirect techni4ue cycles. Often" a
practitioner *ill ma!e 1C unsuccessful attempts and moe *hile

8o*eer" if an a*a!ening is conscious" but *ith moement" that
does not mean that the practitioner cannot immediately ma!e an
attempt to fall into the phase. 6uch attempts" although they *ill beabout = times less effectie than usual" should neertheless be made
3ny opportunity to practice *hile *a!ing should not be *asted. +tmust only be !ept in mind that one must first neutrali?e the effects of
the moement in order to once again fall into an intermediate state. +n

onersely" if one lies do*n e&pecting something to happen" chances
4uic!ly dissipate.
Thus" upon a*a!ening" preferably *ithout first moing" a
practitioner should immediately try arious separation techni4ues"li!e rolling out" getting up" or leitation. +f a techni4ue suddenly

+f separation does not occur after seeral seconds" it most li!ely

*ith the techni4ue and achiee the ma&imum possible range of
moement. 9uring this process" a number of things can happen"
including spontaneous separation" a successful separation attempt"
free moement of the *iggled part" or the presence of sound or
ibrations. 3ll of these eents are of great adantage. +f nothing*iggles oer the course of : to = seconds" then the practitioner should
moe on to listening in.
The practitioner should try to detect an internal sound. +f the

entire cycle should be repeated. +t is beneficial to e&amine the reason behind the use of a set of
three indirect techni4ues. This is motiated by the fact that the body
often reacts to techni4ues in ery peculiar *ays. 0ith one person" atechni4ue may *or! one day and not *or! on another day" *hich is

The techni4ues for phase entrance ia becoming conscious *hile

transitioned into a fully reali?ed phase e&perience. ontrary to
popular opinion" haing an out%of%body e&perience through dreamingdiffers little from other techni4uesJ the primary results of *hich may
be persistently categori?ed as dissociatie e&periences/ being fully

The realism of a phase induced through becoming conscious in a

+f a practitioner becomes a*are of a dream *hile in it (usually
accompanied by a clear reali?ation that it is" #'ust a dream$)" then the

9uring the process of becoming conscious in a dream" a
practitioners actions must be completely subordinated to the desire
to e&perience a 4uality phase. This is *hy" upon becoming consciousin a dream" proceeding to techni4ues related to deepening and
maintaining is crucial.
Techni4ues for becoming conscious in a dream differ ery much
in nature from other techni4ues" and there are good reasons *hy
these methods are differentiated from other practices" li!e so%called
astral proection or out-of-"ody e#perience OB). 8o*eer" their
characteristics differ ery little in terms of results. The techni4ue%related peculiarities rest in the fact that specific
actions are not re4uired to produce immediate" concrete results. 3ll
techni4ue%related elements are performed outside of *hen

to ta!e some action if you are not conscious and do not reali?e thatyou are dreaming. 3ll efforts are directed at ma!ing that ery

factor to achieing dream consciousness. Therefore" this techni4ue is
sure to guarantee entry into the phase" especially if difficulty has
been encountered *hile practicing other techni4ues.

8/12/2019 Yoga of the Inner World

one should not thin! that it is impossible for someone *ho does not
remember dreams to become conscious in one. 6uch a person should
simply try to use the techni4ues.
3t the same time" there is a direct correlation bet*een the number
of dreams remembered and the probability of becoming conscious*hile dreaming. That is *hy deeloping the ability to remember
dreams is crucial. +n essence" the ability to achiee dream
consciousness rests *ith the conscious mind" *hich is ery much

7y increasing the fre4uency of remembered dreams" short%term
dream memory becomes more deeloped" *hich enables more
realistic dream e&periences follo*ed by a higher probability of dream
consciousness. There are three techni4ues dedicated to increasing the number of
remembered dreams.
The first is to simply recall the details of dreams upon a*a!ening.0ithin the first fe* minutes of *a!ing up" try to remember as many
dreams from the night before as possible. This should be done *ith a
great amount of attention and diligence because this e&ercisestrengthens the memory. +f possible" during the day" or" better yet"
before going to sleep at night" recalling the preious nights dreams
once again is highly beneficial.
0riting dreams do*n in a special dream 'ournal is much moreeffectie than simple recall. Record dreams in the morning *hile
memories are still fresh. The more details recalled *hen recordingthe dream" the better the ultimate results. This is a ery attentie
approach that demands a higher a*areness than simple recollection.
0riting dreams in a 'ournal significantly increases a*areness of
actions and aspirations.
3nother *ay of remembering dreams is to create a map of the
dream *orld. This is called drea$ cartography and is similar to

Creating an 6n!hor
6ince dream consciousness is not lin!ed to specific actions that
ta!e place *ithin a dream and sensory perception continues to
operate in the dream state" it is possible to deelop and use an
artificially conditioned refle& to achiee consciousness. The essenceof this techni4ue is to train the consciousness to uniformly react to
certain stimuli that occur *hile being a*a!e and *hen dreaming"
establishing a habit of specific response eery time a certain situation
occurs.
For e&le" *hile a*a!e" a practitioner may as!" #3m +

this techni4ue 4uic!ly produces results. Oer time" subconscious4uestioning of the practitioners state becomes habit" happening
*hile a*a!e and dreaming. The end result is dream consciousness.
+t is important to note that one needs not only to simply as! this4uestion" but that it is also important to ans*er it mindfully" trying to
isolate oneself from surrounding eents in order to be able to ans*er
it in an as ob'ectie and unpredetermined *ay as possible. Failing toans*er ob'ectiely *ill al*ays result in a negatie response (no)" and
dream consciousness *ill not be achieed.
+atural 6n!hor& +n addition to creating deliberate anchors that induce conscious
dreaming" natural anchors should be gien focused attention. Theseare ob'ects and actions that regularly cause dream consciousness"
een *hen consciousness is not desired. 7eing a*are of the e&istence
of natural anchors actually doubles the chances of their appearance.
The follo*ing e&periences are common natural anchors that are

Self-6naly&i&
onsistent analysis of dreams helps to ascertain reasons for an
absence of conscious a*areness/ these analyses are significant to
attaining dream consciousness. Oer the course of a lifetime" the
mind gro*s accustomed to the parado&ical nature of dreams and paysless attention to them. This becomes apparent *hile trying to

can it rent an apartment. 0hile dreaming" these impossibilities are
neer called into 4uestion. The essence of self%analysis is

Of all non%autonomous assistance methods" cueing technologies
yield the best results. The operating principle behind cueing
technologies is 4uite simple/ a deice detects rapid eye moement(REM) and sends signals to a sleeping practitioner" prompting dream
consciousness or an a*a!ening that may be follo*ed by indirect
techni4ues. ueing programs or deices may also send indicators
oer specific interals of timeJ these are receied during REM sleep
and are meant to cause a sleeping practitioner to a*a!en and attempt
indirect techni4ues.
More sophisticated REM%detecting technologies may be purchased at speciali?ed stores or through online merchandisers.
REM%detecting technologies *or! by irtue of special night mas!
e4uipped *ith a motion sensor that detects the fre4uency of specific
eye moements that occur during REM sleep. 0hen the eye
moements reach REM 4uality" the deice sends discreet signals tothe practitioner through light" sound" ibrations" or a combination of
these. +n turn" the practitioner must discern the signal and react to it
*hile sleeping *ith the goal of phase entry through dreamconsciousness.
The effectieness of REM%detecting deices is more plausible in
theory than in practice. The mind 4uic!ly deelops a tolerance forthese types of e&ternal stimuli and stops reacting" and" as a result"
such technologies are hardly used more than one or t*o nights per
*ee!. 6econdly" a practitioner *ill detect only a small portion of the
signals" and conscious reaction occurs in een smaller instances.ueing technologies are best used to send signals that allo* a
practitioner to a*a!en *ithout moing during REM sleep" *hichfacilitates a high probability of phase entrance through indirect
techni4ues.
Pricing of these #mind%machines$ (the common moni!er of any
deice that purports to produce altered consciousness) *idely aries
and is determined by 4uality of REM detection and signaling.

success in practice" inesting money in the technology is not
recommended. +f a practitioner is curious about cueing technologies"
similar deices may be constructed at home using a special computer program and a run%of%the%mill optical mouse. 9esigns for a
homegro*n setup are easily located on the +nternet.
3nother do%it%yourself *ay of e&perimenting *ith cueing is
through the use of a computer" a music player" or een the alarm
cloc! function on a mobile phone. The practitioner saes short
sounds or phrases" played as an alarm eery 1= to :C minutes *hile
sleeping. These sounds *ill signal the practitioner to *a!e up andattempt indirect techni4ues.
+f the practitioner decides to use cueing technology" seeral
fundamental principles should be considered as results *ill be less
li!ely if they are ignored. First" mind%machines should be used no
more than t*ice a *ee!. Other*ise" too high a tolerance *ill be builtup" rendering the machines ineffectie. 6econd" use cueing

hemispheres. 8o*eer" this type of approach yields a parado& for the
lac! of scientific (or pseudo%scientific) eidence that hemispheric
synchroni?ation influences sensory perception. 3ctually" it is the
cerebral corte& and constituents that are primarily responsible for
sensory perception. 3t the beginning of the -Cth century" it becameclear that the !ey roles in sensory processes are played by arying
leels of inhibition and actiity in the cerebral corte&" and almost not
else*here.
The !ey to soling the problem of technologically induced phase
entrance rests in the inhibition processes of the cerebral corte&.
6ynchroni?ation deices hae no effect on the operation of the
cerebral corte&. The idea of using sounds of arious fre4uencies toinduce a specific leel of electrical actiity in the brain is" so far"
considered impossible. Thus" the sounds and noises used to assist
separation from the body cannot directly affect the process" but
merely sere as cueing signals. 6uch a system *or!s only after
haing been used for a long time" if it *or!s at all. Moreoer" itmight only *or! once or t*ice. eertheless" synchroni?ation
systems are able to help practitioners reach a free floating state of
consciousness since the systems preent sleep or induce *a!efulness" proiding fertile ground for direct phase entry. 8o*eer" the systems
hae nothing at all to do *ith synchroni?ing the t*o hemispheres of
the brain. The idea of inducing arious phase states through sound has
gained *ide attention. Many other programs and technologies hae
appeared as a result" including" for e&le" the 7rain 0ae
5enerator (705)" *hich allo*s the practitioner to independentlye&periment *ith a *ide array of sounds and fre4uencies and arious
methods of transmission. The effect is the same/ cueing during sleepor the maintenance of a transitional state. Thus" there is no noticeable
difference bet*een using machines and listening to similar sounds or
musical compositions.
+nasmuch as the deices described aboe hae not deliered
notable result" the search for ne* technologies continues unhindered.

and its constituent parts is increasing. For e&le" there is a theory
that phase e&periences may be induced by electromagnetically
stimulating the left angular gyrus. 8o*eer" this" li!e all other non%
autonomous methods" is strictly based on theory. 3t present"
consistent" focused" unassisted practice is the simplest and onlyguaranteed means to achieing phase entrance.
9YP+OSIS 6+( SUES$IO+
8ypnosis is a little%studied method of entering the phase. The idea
is that a hypnotist is able to cause a person to enter the phase through
suggestion or affirmation. There is no doubt that hypnosis is aninteresting concept" especially for persons *ho easily yield to po*er
of suggestion" but such indiiduals account for only 1K of the
population.
9ue to specific characteristics of human perception" the chances
are nil that hypnosis is a li!ely conduit to phase entrance. 6o" it seemsunli!ely that hypnotic techni4ues *ill become *ell%!no*n" or that a
top%notch hypnotist *ould" through suggestion" easily be able to lead
a sub'ect directly into the phase.8o*eer" it is completely feasible that hypnotic suggestion may
promote higher fre4uency in dream consciousness or a*a!ening
*ithout moing (and remembering to do indirect techni4ues). 8ereagain" this method is only a facilitator" *hile actual phase entrance
depends on the efforts of the practitioner.
P9YSIO<OIC6< SI+6<S
The simplest *ay to supplement the practice is establishing areminder that prompts conscious a*a!ening and subse4uent indirect
techni4ues. This may be accomplished by blindfolding the eyes or
tying a cord taut around an arm or leg. The idea is that the reminder
is immediately felt *hen the practitioner *a!es" prompting the
attempt of indirect techni4ues. +n actuality" mind%machines *or!

using the same principle since these are most effectie as cues that
arouse an intention to perform a specific action.
3 more sophisticated e&le of a reminder is *hen a
practitioner do?es off in a position meant to cause numbness to a
certain body part. 0hile a*a!ening" the practitioner *ill ta!e the physical numbness a cue to practice indirect techni4ues. 3 secondary
benefit to this method of physiological signaling is that the numb
body part may easily be used to perform phantom *iggling. Falling
asleep *hile lying on the bac! *ith an arm behind the head" or by
lying directly on an arm are effectie e&les. These and other
postures *ill impede circulation" cause numbness" and promote
a*a!ening. aturally" the numbness should not be e&cessie. 9ierse e&periments that e&ploit physiological needs are
especially popular for inducing conscious a*a!ening or becoming
conscious *hile dreaming. For e&le" a practitioner may forgo
*ater oer the course of the day before attempting to enter the phase.
The effect is an acute thirst *hile dreaming" *hich may be used tocommunicate that the dream state has ta!en oer. Or" thirst causes
repeated a*a!enings" during *hich the practice of indirect techni4ues
may commence. 3n alternatie to depriing the body of *ater isincluding more salt in foods consumed before going to sleep.
3nother method is to drin! a lot of *ater before sleep" causing the
practitioner to a*a!en" naturally producing an opportunity to performindirect techni4ues. sing this has been !no*n to result in dream
consciousness.
3nother popular method helps *ith direct techni4ues. +t *or!s by
falling asleep *hile !eeping the forearm propped up at the elbo*.0hen the practitioner falls asleep" the forearm falls to the bed as the
body shuts do*n. Feeling the arm fall signals a lapse ofconsciousness" after *hich direct techni4ues may be attempted. +f this
method fails to produce results on the first try" it may be repeated by
raising the forearm before falling asleep. This method helps some"
but rarely on the first try. +t should not be counted as panacea.
2i!e all other non%autonomous methods" practicing phase entrance
using physiological signals should not be done on a regular basis.

6ince the beginning" the history of adances in phase entrance

The use of speciali?ed herbs" mushrooms" and cacti is still practiced
in isolated culturesJ 6iberian shamans and orth 3merican +ndians"
for e&le. 3mid the hunger for altered states of a*areness" these

The names and descriptions of these arious chemical

are all dangerous.
There are t*o primary problems *ith using such supplements.First" practicing the phase through the consumption of chemical
substances and arious herbal supplements is not a path to
deelopment" but to ruin. 9rug abuse and personal deelopment are polar opposites" in no *ay compatible. heap thrills are consistently
follo*ed by chemical dependencies and health problems.
6econd" although a user may e&perience phase sensations under
the influence of such substances" the 4uality of e&perience iscompletely different. +t is not only the stability or depth of phase that
are affected by these supplements" but a users consciousness anda*areness. The use of substances and the resultant alteration of
mental processes negatiely impact self%a*areness. The phase must
be accompanied by t*o things/ phase sensations and a complete"
conscious a*areness. +f one of these is missing" then the state
e&perienced" by definition" is not the phase. 0hen descriptions of

$9E CO+CEP$ O2 (EEPE+I+
3eepening refers to techni4ues that induce realistic perceptionand a&areness in the phase state( The phase is not an e&act" fi&ed state *here a practitioner is
present or not. +t is a realm of states characteri?ed by a transition
from the usual perception of the physical body to a complete
alienation from it" *hile maintaining consciousness and reality of
perception" albeit in a different frame of space. The transition begins
*ith perception of the natural" physical body follo*ed by a moment
of ambiguity *here a clear e&perience of body is intermingled *ith asense of the perceied body. 3fter*ard" the perceied body enters the
phase space" *hile the physical body becomes a memory. 3t this
point" the perceied senses may be 4uite dullJ for e&le" ision
may be blurred or completely absent. 9eepening techni4ues sole the
problem of diminished or absent sensory perception in the phase. 6ensory e&periences *ithin a fully reali?ed phase e&perience are
as realistic as those in eeryday reality. +n almost one%half of all
cases" practitioners obsere that reality%based surroundings pale in
comparison to ibrant detail and color of the phase space. To this
end" after entering the phase" a practitioner must perform deepening
techni4ues to enhance and solidify the degree and 4uality of phasereality.

Ealpation is the first deepening techni4ue that should be recalled
*hen entering the phase.
;ision may be absent at the beginning of a phase e&perience" but
the sensation of occupying a defined space is almost al*ays present.+n the case of a completely absent sense of sight" only tactile%
!inesthetic perception is possible. That is" moement throughout a
space and the touching ob'ects there is the only option *hen ision is
absent. The sense of touch plays a !ey role in the perception of
eeryday reality. 3ccordingly" if the sense of touch is actiely used in
the phase space" it is only natural that the phase *ill deepen and reach
its ma&imum potential. Palpation is performed by fleetingly touching anything that may
be found in the immediate surroundings. This should be done by
4uic!ly but carefully perceiing the feel of surfaces and shapes.
8ands should not remain on a particular place for more than one
second" remaining constantly in motion to locate ne* ob'ects. Thegoal of palpation is to touch and also to learn something about
encountered ob'ects or shapes. For e&le" if one feels a mug" one
may touch it not only from the outside" but also from the inside. Oncea practitioner has rolled out of the body" the bed may be touchedJ the
physical body lying in bed may be touched" as *ell as the floor" the
carpet" nearby *alls" or a bedside table. 3nother palpation techni4ue is performed by rubbing the palms
against each other as if trying to *arm them on a cold day. 7lo*ing
on the palms also produces sensations that *ill help deepen the
phase. 6ince tactile perception of the *orld is not limited to the palms" the hands should be moed oer the entire body *hile in the
phase to e&cite and fully actiate the sense of touch. 3s soon as palpation begins" the feeling that the phase is
deepening and becoming fi&ed soon follo*s. sually" it ta!es fie to
1C seconds of palpation e&ercises to reach the ma&imum leel of
deepening. 3fter performing this techni4ue" the pseudo%physical
sensations *ill be indistinguishable from those of eeryday reality. +f
ision is absent on phase entry" it 4uic!ly emerges during palpation.
8/12/2019 Yoga of the Inner World

Eeering is the primary technical ariation of sensory
amplification. 8o*eer" it is not al*ays initially accessible since it
re4uires ision" *hich may begin as absent in the phase. Once ision
appears or has been created using special techni4ues (see hapter A)"
peering may begin. The effectieness of this techni4ue originates inthe fact that ision is the humans primary instrument of perception.
Therefore" by e&citing ision to its ma&imum potential *ithin the
phase" it is possible to attain a fully immersie phase state that is
completely apart from normal reality.
Peering should be done at a distance of four to si& inches from
ob'ects *ithin the phase. 3 practitioner should glance oer the
minute details of ob'ects and surfaces to bring definition to the phasespace *hile increasing the 4uality of ision. 0hen loo!ing at hands"
the lines of the palm or the fingernail and cuticles should be
e&amined. +f obsering a *all" study the te&ture of its *allpaper.
0hen loo!ing at a mug" one should loo! carefully at its handle" the
cure of its rim" or any inscriptions. 3ttention should not remain onone area of an ob'ect for more than half a second. 3ctie obseration
should constantly moe to ne* ob'ects and their minute details"
approaching ob'ects or pic!ing them up to dra* them nearer. +ts best*hen ob'ects near one anotherJ other*ise" too much time is spent
moing around.
Peering brings 4uic! and clear results. sually" if ision is blurryand there is a yearning to return into the physical body" *ith 'ust :%1C
seconds of peering all of this *ill be gone *ithout a trace. 3fter
peering" ision ad'usts as 4uic!ly and clearly as if a camera lens *as
correctly installed in front of the eyes" capturing the image in thesharpest of focus.
Si$ultaneous peering and palpation proide the ma&imum possible deepening effect in the phase. This method of sensory
amplification engages the t*o most important perceptie" thus the
effect is t*ice greater than *hen the t*o actions are separately
performed. +f ision is present in the phase" simultaneous peering and
palpation is an absolute necessity because it facilitates good phase
depth in the 4uic!est and simplest manner.
8/12/2019 Yoga of the Inner World
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/yoga-of-the-inner-world 104/235
The combination of palpation and peering must not only be
performed simultaneously" but also upon the same ob'ects. For
e&le" *hile a practitioner may loo! at the hands and
simultaneously rub them against each otherJ or *hile loo!ing at a
coffee mug" all of its parts may be obsered and touched at the same.+t is necessary to maintain dynamism of action" remembering that
feelings should be e&perienced not half%heartedly" remembering that
full concentration on sensory amplification is an e&cellent means to a

straining the body *ithout using muscles. The occurrence ofibrations proides a significant opportunity to deepen the phase. 3n
adantage of this techni4ue is that it does not re4uire any preliminary

Chapter / - ,aintaining
$9E E+E:6< CO+CEP$ O2 ,6I+$6I+I+
Ehase $aintenance or >$aintaining? refers to techni4ues that
allo& a practitioner to re$ain in the phase for the $a#i$u$ a$ount
of ti$e possi"le( 0ithout !no*ledge of #maintaining$ techni4ues" theduration of the phase *ill be seeral times shorter than it could
other*ise be. The shortest phases last 'ust a fe* seconds. 7eginning
practitioners usually fear not being able to e&it a phaseJ this shouldnteer be a concern because the real challenge is being able to maintain
the phase state" *hich is easily lost unless phase maintenance
techni4ues are used.
Phase maintenance consists of three primary principles/ resisting a
return to the *a!eful state (!no*n as a foul)" resisting falling asleep"
8/12/2019 Yoga of the Inner World
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/yoga-of-the-inner-world 110/235
and resisting a false e&it from the phase. 3s a rule" the first t*o
problems (return to a *a!eful state" or falling asleep) are often
encountered by beginners" but the third difficulty (false e&it)
manifests at later stages of practice.
Resistance to returning to the body is self%e&planatory" *hereasresistance to falling asleep is unclear to many. ot eeryone !no*s
that almost half of phase e&periences usually end in a 4uite triial
*ay % falling asleep. 3 person usually looses attentieness" his or her
a*areness dissipates" and eerything around gradually looses clarity
and turns into *hat is for all intents and purposes a usual dream.
Resisting a false e&it from the phase is a lot more surprising and
dramatic. 6ometimes a practitioner detects an impending e&it fromthe phase" subse4uent deepening techni4ues fail to *or!" resulting in
*hat seems to be a return to the body and physical reality. 6ure that
the phase has ended" a practitioner may stand up and the fall asleep
after perceiing a fe* steps. +n such cases" falling asleep most often
happens *ithout any moement" but *hile still lying in bed. The problem is that the difference bet*een the phase and reality can be so
subtle that in terms of internal or e&ternal indicators" the phase
practically cant be distinguished from reality. Therefore" one must!no* the necessary actions to ta!e in the eent that the phase ceases"
since the end of a phase could actually be a tric! and purely
imagined. There are specific solutions for the three problems described in
addition to general rules that apply to any phase e&perience. 6tudying
these rules should be gien 'ust as high a priority as studying the
specific solutions" since only some of them" *hen applied separately"may help one to remain in the phase seeral times longer than usual.
+n some cases" techni4ues for maintaining are not applicable.8o*eer" !no*ledge of ho* to maintain is useful for the ma'ority of
e&periences. 3lso" there might be situations *hen someone need only
resist a foul" *hile someone else may need to resist falling asleep. 3ll
of this is ery specific to each case and can be determined only in
practice.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/yoga-of-the-inner-world 111/235
0ith perfect !no*ledge of all the techni4ues for maintaining" a
phase may last t*o to four minutes" *hich doesnt sound li!e an
e&tended duration" but really is. 3 particularity of the phase space is
that achieing something and moing around in it ta!es a minimum
amount of time" mere seconds. Thus" so much can be done during :minutes in the phase that one literally needs a list" so as not to *aste
any time.
There are theories that hae neither been proen nor disproen
claiming that time in the phase contracts and e&pands relatie to real
time. Thus" one minute of real time *hile in the phase may feel much
longer in terms of phase time.
Perception of time aries from practitioner to practitioner. oicesespecially perceie a real minute as more li!e fie to 1C minutes in
the phase. This is determined by the particularities of indiidual
psychology" state of mind" and the type of eents that occur in the
phase.
+n order to understand ho* long a phase really lasted" one does notneed to try using a stop*atch in the real *orld. +t is better to count
ho* many actions too! place in it and ho* much time each of them
could hae ta!en. The result *ill differ from ones first roughestimate seeral times oer.
The ma&imum duration the phase aries depends heaily on the
ability to apply phase maintenance techni4ues. 6ome practitionershae difficulty brea!ing the t*o%minute barrier *hile some find it
easy to remain in the phase for 1C minutes or longer. +t is physically
impossible to remain in the phase foreer because een a -C%minute
phase is unheard of. $EC9+I=UES 6+( :U<ES 66I+S$

Of the follo*ing techni4ues" constant sensory amplification and
as%needed sensory amplification are applied the most often *hile
performing phase maintenance. 8o*eer" as opposed to other
technical elements of phase e&ploration" other secondary techni4ues
8/12/2019 Yoga of the Inner World
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/yoga-of-the-inner-world 112/235
of maintaining often become mainstream and the most appropriate
for certain indiiduals. Thus" all the techni4ues should be studied" but
the first t*o should be considered ery carefully.
Con&tant Sen&ory 6mplifi!ation
The same sensory amplification described in the chapter on
deepening (hapter >) also applies to #maintaining$. +n essence"
haing achieed the necessary depth of phase" one should not stop to
actiely agitate his or her perception but should !eep on doing this all
the *hile" albeit not as actiely as during deepening.
The idea is that during the entire duration of the phase" all action
should be focused on e&periencing the ma&imum possible amount oftactile%!inesthetic and isual perceptions. This entails constantly
touching and e&amining eerything in minute detail. For e&le" if
passing by a boo!case" touch and e&amine some of the boo!s in it"
including their pages and corners. Tactile obseration should be
performed on eery encountered ob'ect. Palpation may be applied separately as a bac!ground sensation.
This is done in order not to oerload the sense of sight. The hands
should be touching something all the time" or better still" rubbingeach other.
6&-+eeded Sen&ory 6mplifi!ation
3pplying the as%needed sensory amplification techni4ue is no
different than constant sensory amplification. +t is used only *hen a
foul (a return to a *a!eful state) is imminent or *hen phase ision
starts to blur and fade. For e&le" *hile traeling in the phaseeerything may start to blur" signaling a *ea!ening of the phase. 3t
this moment" the practitioner should touch eery aailable ob'ectJobsere eerything in fine detail. 3s soon as returns to a clear and
realistic state" actions may be continued *ithout needing to perform
amplification.
Con&tant @i3ration
8/12/2019 Yoga of the Inner World
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/yoga-of-the-inner-world 113/235
This techni4ue is used to maintain constant" strong ibrations in
the phase. 3s preiously noted" ibrations are generated by straining
the brain or tensing the body *ithout using muscles. Maintaining
strong ibrations *ill hae a positie effect on the length of the
phase.
Strengthening @i3ration& a& +eeded
+n this case" ibrations are created and strengthened only if signs
of a foul become apparent. E&les of foul indicators include
duality of perception or blurred ision. 6trengthening ibrations *ill
help to deepen the phase" allo*ing a practitioner to stay and continue
*ithin the phase.
(i?ing 9eadfir&t
This techni4ue is the same as the deepening techni4ue of the same
name. +f a phase is about to dissole" diing headfirst *ith the eyes
shut and a desire to die as 4uic!ly and deeply as possible. 3s soonas phase depth returns" translocation techni4ues may be used to !eep
from arriing at a dead end.
2or!ed 2alling 6&leep
3s soon as indicators of a foul appear" immediately lie do*n on
the floor and attempt forced falling asleepJ the same as the phaseentry techni4ue. 3fter successfully performing the techni4ue (:%
1Csec.) " a practitioner may get up and continue to trael through the
phase since the perception of reality and its depth *ill most li!ely be
restored. Resist actually fall asleep.
:otation
+f indicators of a foul appear" the practitioner should start rotating
around the head%to%feet a&is. nli!e the phase entry techni4ue of the
same name" the moement does not hae to be imagined. This is an
absolutely real rotation in the phase. 3fter seeral reolutions" depth
*ill be restored and actions may be continued. +f indicators of a foul
persist" rotation should continue until proper depth is achieed.

Counting
9uring the entire phase" count to as large a number possible % not
'ust for the sa!e of counting" but *ith a strong desire to reach the
highest number possible. ounting may be performed silently or outloud.
This techni4ue *or!s by creating a strong determination to
remain in the phase by proiding a goal that re4uires action in the
phase.
<i&tening in
+f there are any bac!ground sounds similar to those heard *hileentering the phase % rumbling" *histling" ringing" bu??ing" or si??ling
I these sounds may be used to prolong duration of the phase by
aggressie attempts at listening in" hearing the entire range of internal
sounds. The forced listening in techni4ue may also be used for phase
maintenance.
9oo"ing onto the pha&e
3nother interesting method of #maintaining$ is hoo!ing onto the phase. +n the eent of an impending foul" grab onto an ob'ect in the
phase actiely palpate or s4uee?e it. Een if a return to the body
occurs during this techni4ue" the hands *ill continue to hold the phase ob'ect and the physical hands *ill not be perceied. 7eginning
*ith these phantom feelings in the hands" separation from the body is
possible. 3ny nearby ob'ect may be hoo!ed/ the leg of a chair" a
drin!ing glass" a door!nob" a stone" or a stic!. +f there is nothing tograb hold of" clasp the hands together or bite do*n on a lip or the
tongue.
T*o rules apply to using the techni4ues that help to resist a phase
e&it. First of all" neer thin! that the phase might end and result in a
return to the bodyJ thoughts li!e this are li!e programming that
immediately send the practitioner to a *a!ened physical state.

6ince the techni4ues of testing the realness of the end of the phase
are a little absurd and demand additional attention to actions" theyshould only be used in those cases *hen they are indeed re4uired.
ntil then" one should simply bear them in mind and use them only
in moments of doubt. The same methods may be used to safely
determine *hether or not the practitioner is in the phase *hen using
techni4ues for entering it.
9yper-!on!entration 6ince the cessation of the phase e&perience may be simulated and
no different in terms of perception from a real e&it" differences
bet*een the physical *orld and the phase *orld must be actiely

There are a ariety of other procedures to test the occurrence of a

be simulated in the phase" these procedures are not al*ays applicable.
For e&le" some suggest that it is sufficient to attempt doing
something that is realistically impossible" and" if a practitioner is in
the phase" the impossible action *ill be possible. The problem *ith
this suggestion is that the la*s of the physical *orld may besimulated in the phase" so flying" passing through *alls or tele!inesis

suggested that loo!ing at a cloc! t*ice in a ro* may help a

The practitioner should not loo+ into the distance( +f fara*ay
ob'ects are obsered for a long period of time" a foul may occur" or

distant ob'ects *ithout problems" a practitioner has to employ
techni4ues for maintaining. For e&le" from time to time the

:onstant activity( nder no circumstances should a practitioner
remain passie and calm in the phase. The more actions performed"
the longer the phase is. The fe*er actions I the shorter the phase. +t isenough to pause for thought" and eerything stops.
Elan of action( There should be a clear plan of action consisting
of at least = tas!s to be carried out in the phase at the earliest
opportunity. This is necessary for seeral important reasons. First" the
practitioner must not pause in the phase to thin! about #*hat to do
ne&t$" *hich fre4uently results in a foul. 6econd" haing a plan" the
practitioner *ill subconsciously perform all of the actions necessaryfor staying in and maintaining the phase to carry out all the tas!s that
hae been planned. Third" intelligent and pre%planned actions permit
focused adancement of purposeful actions ersus *asting phase
e&periences on *hateer comes to mind at a gien moment. Fourth" a
plan of action creates necessary motiation and" conse4uently" pronounced intent to perform the techni4ues to enter the phase.
Stopping the 3( The less +nternal 9ialogue (+9) and reflection
that occurs in the phase" the longer it lasts. 3ll thin!ing must beconcentrated on *hat is being achieed and perceied. Tal!ing to
oneself is completely prohibited. The reason for this is that many
thoughts may act as programming in the phase and een announcingthem internally may introduce alterations" including negatie ones.
For e&le" thin!ing about the body cause a return to it. The
practitioner may also get lost in thought" *hich *ill lead to a foul.

Problems *ith phase identification during entry often arise at the
initial stages of studying the phase. 3 practitioner simply cannot
understand *hether or not he or she is already in the phase. This
uncertainty can manifest *hile lying do*n or *hile practicing in
other postures. +f a practitioner is simply lying do*n" physically perceiing his o*n
body" and doing nothing" then it is indeed difficult to determine
*hether or not he is present in the phase. +t is sufficient to note that
there might be no signs of a phase state. On the contrary" there may
be a host of signs and unusual sensations" but they by no means
necessarily indicate the onset of the phase.
The problem of the uncertainty of a phase state is al*ays soledthrough actions. +f the practitioner is lying do*n" then standard
separation techni4ues may produce indication of phase achieement %
in the ma'ority of cases I since such techni4ues may often be
incorrectly performed.
+t is possible to perform techni4ues that are only achieable in the phase state. +f a practitioner stands up and does not recogni?e his
surroundings" then it can be assumed that the practitioner is standing
up in the phase. 8o*eer" often based on the obseration that#eerything is as in reality$" a practitioner may stand up and note that
eerything is in fact #as in reality$ simply because the practitioner is
still in #reality$. +n ans*er to this dilemma" the phenomenon ofhyper%concentration has been preiously mentioned in relation to
maintaining phase. 7y using hyper%concentration" it is al*ays
possible to ascertain *hether the practitioner is in the phase.
8o*eer" as a rule" hyper%concentration is rarely necessary. Mostoften" the follo*ing signs indicate that separation has occurred in the
phase/ unusual sensations in the body during moement" e&tremetightness during moement" a strong physical urge to lie bac! do*n"
dis'ointedness of surroundings" and blurred or complete absence of
ision.
Often" the problem resides in the use of direct techni4ues *here the
practitioner e&pects fast results and attempts to determine *hether the
phase has been achieed. 3s a principle this should not be done.
8/12/2019 Yoga of the Inner World
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/yoga-of-the-inner-world 125/235
0hen using direct techni4ues" the phase manifests itself clearlyJ
therefore" if an attempt to determine its presence is made" it is an
indicator that the phase is 4uite li!ely still far off.
E,E:E+CY :E$U:+. P6:6<YSIS
6tatistics sho* that in one%third of initial phase e&periences" a practitioner is faced *ith a degree of fear that forces a return to the
body. Periodically" een e&perienced practitioners face situations that
re4uire an abrupt return to *a!efulness. This presents a number of
concerns.
+n and of itself" returning to the body is almost al*aysunproblematicJ remembering and thin!ing about the body oftensuffices and *ithin moments the practitioner is returned to the body
from *hateer location in the phase. 3dmittedly" it is adisable
during this type of situation to shut the eyes and abstain from
touching anything. 3s a rule" *hen these actions are performed"
simply standing up in the physical *orld is all that is re4uired to
complete a returnJ ho*eer" this is not al*ays simply achieed.
6ometimes after reentering the body" the practitioner suddenlyreali?es that physical functionality has ceased due to the onset of
sleep paralysis" or the sensation that the body has been s*itched off.
9uring sleep paralysis" it is impossible to scream" call for help" or
een moe a finger. +n the ma'ority of cases" it is also impossible to
open the eyes. From a scientific point of ie*" this is a case of anabrupt" unnatural interruption of the rapid eye moement (REM)
phase of sleep" during *hich this paralysis is al*ays present" and it
can persist for some time after the phase is interrupted.
This is *here it gets interesting. People in the physical *orld are
accustomed to an important rule/ if you *ish to achiee something"
then do it" and do it as actiely as possible. This rule" though good" isnot al*ays applicable to certain conditions lin!ed to the phase" and
applies least of all to e&iting the phase. 6ometimes e&treme effort
ma!es it possible to brea! through sleep paralysis and resume
moement" though most of these efforts tend to e&acerbateimmobility.

9ue to the unusual nature of a negatie situation follo*ing a
deliberate" fear%induced return to the body" the depth of the phase
may greatly increase because of the bodys natural" protectie
inhibition of functions originating in the cerebral corte&J this results
in een greater agitation" greater fear. The paralysis gro*s stronger.This is a icious circle that leads to unpleasant feelings and emotions"
*hich may eaporate any desire to practice the phase.
+gnorance of correct procedures has led to the *idespread opinion
that such aderse situations may ma!e it impossible to come bac!
from the phase at all. These opinions suppose that it is" therefore"
dangerous to get inoled *ith the practice. 8o*eer" the solution to
this problem rests in ery simple actions and procedures that can preent a large number of negatie e&periences/
Complete :elaation
+n the section on deepening and maintaining" it *as noted that the
more actie a practitioner is *hile in the phase" the better.onersely" if there is less actiity" the 4uality of the phase declines"
allo*ing for an easy e&it. Thus" in order to leae the phase" the
practitioner only needs to completely rela& and ignore any perceiedsensations" actions" or thoughts. 3 practitioner may also recite a
prayer" mantra" or rhyme" since that helps the consciousness to be
distracted from the situation more 4uic!ly. Of course" one needs tocalm do*n and try to get rid of the fear" *hich in and of itself is
capable of !eeping such a state going. Periodically" the practitioner
should try to moe a finger in order to chec! *hether attempts at
rela&ation hae had an effect.

finger or a toe. 3t first this *ont *or!" but the practitioner has to
concentrate precise thought and effort on the action. 3fter a little

techni4ue is that the practitioner may accidentally start ma!ing

The physiology of sleep paralysis" the phase state" and dreams are
such that *hen the practitioner is in one of these states" some actions
are al*ays associated *ith moements made in the real body. This is
true *hen moing the eyeballs" the tongue" or *hile breathing. +f the practitioner concentrates attention on these processes" it is possible
counteract inhibitions to physical moementJ as a result" a sleep%
paraly?ed practitioner *ill become able to moe in reality.
:ee?aluating the Situation
nder normal circumstances" deliberate e&it from the phase is not
the norm. 9eliberate e&it is commonly caused by certain fears and pre'udices. +f a practitioner is not able to actiate the body using
other emergency return techni4ues" a careful consideration the
possibilities offered by the phase is recommended. There are manyinteresting and useful things that can be e&perienced in the phase.
0hy ruin the possibility of great opportunity because of a baseless
fear
To be fair" it must be noted that emergency e&it techni4ues do not
al*ays *or!. 3s a rule" after a long period of sleep depriation" or at
the beginning of or in the middle of a nights sleep" the urge to sleepis so great that it is difficult to resist the sleep paralysis phenomenon.
+n this respect" reealuating the situation is highly recommended so
that a practitioner is able to ta!e adantage of the situation ersus
suffering by it. 6leep paralysis is easily transmuted into a phase state
by means of indirect techni4ues.
By the &ay, +no&ing ho& to e#it paralysis is i$portant not only for practitioners of the phase, since such paralysis occurs even&ithout the phase for appro#i$ately one-third of the hu$an
population at least once in a lifeti$e( t usually happens "efore or
after sleep(

Fear in the phase is a ery common occurrence. The practitioner
may e&perience fear at any stage" although it is e&pressed much more
clearly during initial practice. The causes of fear are ery dierse/ a
feeling that returning to the body is impossibleJ a fear of deathJ
*orrying that something bad is going to happen to the bodyJencountering something scary and terrible in the phaseJ painful
sensationsJ oerly sharp" hyper%realistic sensations. One fear
dominates all others/ the instinct of self%preseration" *hich" *ithout
any apparent reason" can induce a feeling of absolute horror I a
feeling that cannot be e&plained or controlled.
For a noice stric!en by insurmountable fear that causes
paralysis" there is only one *ay to gradually oercome. Each time anoice enters the phase" an attempt should be made to go a step
further than the preious time. For e&le" in spite of feeling
terrified" the practitioner should try to raise the hands and then moe
them bac! to the initial position. The second time" the practitioner
should attempt to sit do*n. The third time" standing up should beattempted. The fourth time" *al!ing around in the phase is adised.
Then" after incremental steps to*ard e&periencing the harmlessness
of the phase state" productie" calm action may ensue.
Interesting fact!
Fear itself can "e used to enter the phase and re$ain there for a
long ti$e( Once fears are allayed, a cal$ed practitioner ise#periences increased difficulty &ith entry into the phase(
For a practitioner *ho faces periodical fears" reali?ing that there isno real danger encourages progress in practice. rges to rapidly
return to the body are then made baseless. 6ooner or later" calmerthought dominates eents in the phase" and fear happens less often.
0hen dealing *ith momentary fear caused by eents in the phase"
the simplest solution is to tac!le it head%on and follo* through to the
end in order to aoid a fear%drien precedent. +f a practitioner al*ays
runs a*ay from undesirable eents" the eents *ill occur more and
more fre4uently. +f a practitioner is incapable of facing fear in the

;ision is often aailable at the ery beginning of a phase"
especially *hen the practitioner uses image obseration and
isuali?ation techni4ues to enter. 6ometimes ision appears *ithinthe first fe* seconds. Other times" it manifests during the deepening
process. 8o*eer" there are cases *here ision is not aailable and
must be created 4uic!ly" at any cost. ;ision may arrie as soon as it
is thought about" but if this does not occur" a special techni4ue is
necessary.
To create ision" a practitioner needs to bring the hands four to si&
inches in front of the eyes and try to detect them through the graynessor dar!ness. Peering aggressiely and attentiely at the minute details
of the palms *ill cause them to appear" much li!e they are being

*ithout haing opened them at all" since the latter is not needed for
creating ision. The physical eyelids may be open only *hilee&periencing a ery deep phase. +n a shallo* phase" opening the eyes
*ill cause a return to *a!efulness.
The practitioner must also !eep in mind that ision should only
be created after a complete separation from the body and asubse4uent translocation has been achieed. 3ttempting to ie* the

T*o problems may surface *hile conersing *ith animate ob'ects
in the phase/ silence or a return to the body. +n ie* of the fact that
8/12/2019 Yoga of the Inner World
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/yoga-of-the-inner-world 132/235
many phase applications are based on contact *ith people for one
purpose or another" it is necessary to understand ho* to correctly
manage contact *ith liing ob'ects.
+n order to aoid a foul (e'ection from the phase into reality)" the
elementary rules of #maintaining$ must be obsered. 3ctielyobsering the facial features or clothing of a person you *ant to
communicate *ith. 0hile communicating" the practitioner should
constantly rub the hands together or maintain strong ibrations by
straining the brain. Remember to perform the techni4ues to aoid
becoming absorbed in communication.
3 more comple& problem is oercoming the communicatie
unresponsieness of ob'ects in the phase. +n many cases" the speechof an ob'ect is bloc!ed by the internal stress of the practitioner.
6ometimes the problem stems from an e&pectation that an ob'ect *ill
not be able to communicate in the phase.
+t is important to treat the ob'ects in a calm manner. There is no
use trying to shout or beat the ob'ect to force communication. On thecontrary" it is much more effectie to treat the ob'ect gently" *ithout
applying pressure. 9o not peer at an ob'ects mouth" e&pecting
sounds to emerge. +t is better to loo! else*hereJ ta!ing a passieinterest in communication generally yields the best results.
3s a rule" the first time that communication *ith a liing ob'ect is
successful" future attempts go unhindered. ommunication methods in the phase are should be no different
than those used in ordinary life/ tal!ing" facial e&pressions" gesturing
*ith the hands" body language. Telepathy is not necessary.
:E6(I+
Reading te&t in the phase may be accompanied by a number of
difficulties. First" small print becomes illegible because the affects of
hyper%concentration may distort te&t. This problem is soled by using
large%font te&tual sources of information. For e&le" the te&t of a
normal boo! blurs *hen obsered too attentiely" but the large font
8/12/2019 Yoga of the Inner World
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/yoga-of-the-inner-world 133/235
on the coer of a boo! is easily read since its si?e is sufficient for
rapid reading *ithout detailed scrutiny.
The second problem encountered *hile reading in the phase is
*hen te&t is legible but is completely meaningless in compositionJ
gibberish. This problem is soled by turning oer the pages" loo!ingfor a readable message. +t is also possible to find another copy or
create it ane* using the ob'ect%finding techni4ues. The same applies
to cases *here the te&t is seen as a set of incomprehensible symbols
or signs.
0hile reading in the phase" the practitioner should not forget
about performing #maintaining$ techni4ues to preent a foul by
becoming too rela&ed.
@IB:6$IO+S
The phase is often accompanied by an unforgettably unusual
sensation that may be used successfully to enter" deepen or maintain
the phase. +t is difficult to describe it better than the sensation of a
heay current passing through the entire body *ithout causing any pain. +t may also feel li!e the *hole body is contracting" or a tingling
sensation similar to numbness. Most often" the sensations are similar
to high%fre4uency ibrations of the body" *hich e&plains the origin of
the term #ibration$.
+f the practitioner is not sure *hether or not he e&perienced
ibrations" then there is a good method to sole his problem/ if hereally did" he *ill not hae any doubts about it. +n all other cases"
*hen there are doubts and uncertainty" the practitioner is definitelynot dealing *ith ibrations" or is dealing *ith another form thereof.
+f you hae e&perienced ibrations at least once" the recollection of
these sensations helps greatly during the simultaneous application of
indirect techni4ues. They are created" supported and strengthened bystraining the brain or tensing the body *ithout using the muscles. For
ibrations to appear" it often suffices merely to thin! about them.

strengthening and *ea!ening them.
0o&ever, one should not thin+ that the presence of vi"rations is a
necessary condition for "eing in the phase( Many noices often strie
not for the phase but for ibrations" after *hich the former mustsupposedly follo*. That should not be the case. There are indeed
specific techni4ues that ma!e it possible to get into the phase by

some practitioners may neer hae them at all.

The realism of the phase space does not impose limits on the

+n order to learn tele!inesis (moing ob'ect by thought)" the
practitioner concentrate on an ob'ect *hile e&periencing a deepened
phase" and attempt to moe the ob'ect by thin!ing about themoement. The only re4uired action is aggressie isuali?ation of the
ob'ects moement. o specific e&ternal actions are re4uired.

people" animals" and ob'ects is possible. 8o*eer" this should not beta!en too seriously" since it is merely the nature of the phase to
simulate *hat is e&pected.
$ran&mutation
Transforming an ob'ects form re4uires the techni4ue of
transmutation (refer to hapter B). +t should also be noted that if the
goal is not to conert something but rather to transform oneself" then
it is necessary to use the translocation techni4ues (also described in
8/12/2019 Yoga of the Inner World

desired place but on the desired form. 8ere again there are no
limitations apart from indiidual courage and fantasy. +t is possible to
become a butterfly or a dinosaur. +t is possible to become a bird or a
*orm. +ts een possible to become a child or a person of theopposite se&. These are not simply e&ternal changes" but real
transmutations" *ithin and *ithout. +f a practitioner becomes a

and an unusual body. The practitioner *ill intuitiely !no* ho* to

2i!e eeryday reality" the phase space cannot be used for certain purposes if it is not !no*n ho* to moe around and find necessary
things. +n a *a!eful state" it is more or less !no*n *here something
is located and ho* to reach it. +n the phase the same assumptions
cannot apply since phase mechanisms *or! by different principles.
The reason for addressing translocation and finding ob'ects in thesame chapter is because both techni4ues rely on the same mechanics
that ma!e the e&istence of these techni4ues possible. +n other *ords"
the same methods % *ith minor e&ceptions % can be applied to bothtranslocation and finding.
3fter studying the techni4ues described in this chapter" a
practitioner in the phase *ill be able to go to any location and find
any ob'ect. The only limitations that e&ist are those of the
imagination and desireJ if these are unlimited" so are the possibilities.
Regarding translocation" attention should not be focused on
methods for traelling through nearby spaces. For e&le" a practitioner may simply *al! into an ad'acent room" or out to the
street ia the corridor or through the *indo*. These are natural" easyactions. 3 practitioner should instead concentrate attention on ho* to
moe to remote destinations that cannot be 4uic!ly reached by
physical means.
+t is important to mention the necessary safety procedures for
translocation. 6ometimes" due to a lac! of e&perience" a practitioner
may mista!e the phase for reality" and reality may be mista!en for the
8/12/2019 Yoga of the Inner World
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/yoga-of-the-inner-world 144/235
phase. Mista!ing the phase for reality implies no danger since a
practitioner simply beliees that an entry attempt *as unsuccessful.
8o*eer" if reality is mista!en for the phase" a practitioner may
perform dangerous or een life%threatening actions. For e&le"
after getting out of bed in a *a!eful state" thin!ing that eerything ishappening in the phase" a beginner may approach a *indo* and 'ump
out of it" e&pecting to fly" as is customary in the phase. For this
reason alone" shortcuts to flight should only be ta!en after gaining a
leel of e&perience that ma!es it possible to unambiguously
distinguish the phase from a *a!eful state.
+f a glitch occurs *hen practicing translocation techni4ues (for
e&le" landing in the *rong place)" a practitioner should simplyrepeat the techni4ue until the desired result is obtained. Either *ay"

3ll methods for controlling the phase space stem from a primary
la*/ the degree of changeability of the phase space is inersely
proportionate to the depth of the phase and the stability of its ob'ects.
That is" the deeper and more stable the phase" the more difficult it isto perform something unusual in it because in a deep" stable phase"
the la*s of it begin to closely resemble those of the physical *orld.

best suit the practitioners indiidual personality.

$ran&lo!ation through $eleportation
This is one of the simplest and most accessible techni4ues that
beginners should use right a*ay. To apply it" shut the eyes (if isionis present)" and then concentrate attention on a thought%form or image
of a location else*here in the phase. 3t this moment" there *ill be a
string sensation of s*ift flight and *ithin t*o to 1C seconds" the
destination *ill be reached.
The success of this techni4ue depends on a strong concentration
upon a single goal/ the desired location. Practice must be performedery clearly" confidently" aggressiely" and *ithout distractions. 3ny
unrelated thoughts hae a profoundly negatie influence on the
8/12/2019 Yoga of the Inner World
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/yoga-of-the-inner-world 147/235
performance of this techni4ue. They unnecessarily prolong the flight"
cause a foul" or result in arriing at an undesired location.
$ran&lo!ation through a (oor
+n order to use this techni4ue" approach any door *ith the strong belief that it leads to the re4uired location. 3fter opening the door"
the practitioner *ill see and be able to step into the destination. +f the
door *as originally open" it must be completely shut before applying
the techni4ue.
3 dra*bac! to this techni4ue is that its practice al*ays re4uires a
door. +f there is no door" users of this translocation techni4ue should
create one using an ob'ect finding techni4ue.
$ran&lo!ation through $eleportation 8ith the Eye& Open
This techni4ue is difficult because it re4uires an unstable phase
space caused by a strong desire to translocate to another location.
9uring teleportation by teleportation *ith eyes shut" the practitionerdisengages from the current location. 0hereas during teleportation
by flight *ith eyes shut the practitioner disentangles himself from the
current location" that is not the case here. Therefore" this techni4ueshould be used only by e&perienced practitioners *ho are confident
that they are capable of remaining in the phase.
3s far as implementing the techni4ue is concerned" the practitionersimply needs to stop and concentrate on the thought that he is already
present in the desirable location and focus on its image. +t is
important to not stare at or touch anything during the thought.
6urrounding space *ill dim" blur and then disappear during this time"and then the intended location *ill gradually start to appear. The rate
of space metamorphosis depends on the degree of desire to reach there4uired location.
+f concentration is *ea! or phase depth is poor" then after space
destabili?es" it may not be restored % and a return to the *a!eful state
*ill occur.
$ran&lo!ation 8ith Clo&ed Eye&

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/yoga-of-the-inner-world 148/235
This is one of the easiest techni4ues. To use this techni4ue" the
practitioner simply needs to shut the eyes and hae an intense desire
that" *hen the eyes are ne&t opened" the re4uired location *ill be
reached. +n order to considerably increase the effectieness of this
techni4ue" it *ould be useful to imagine" at the moment you closeyour eyes" that you hae already reached the desired location.
Translocation must occur then" and it has to happen *ithout the flight
sensations that occur during teleportation *ith closed eyes.
Translocation must occur right then" and it has to happen *ithout the
flight that occurs in teleportation *ith closed eyes" *hich must be

$ran&lo!ation 3y Con!entration on a :emote O34e!t
To perform this techni4ue" the practitioner should peer from a
distance at a minor detail of the desired location. The greater an
intention to see an ob'ects detail" the 4uic!er the arrial at the
ob'ects location. 3 dra*bac! to this techni4ue is that this type of translocation is
possible only for places that are already isible" albeit from a great
distance.
$ran&lo!ation during Separation
The simplest *ay to translocate is to do so *hile separating fromthe body. Employing this techni4ue is e&tremely simple and ery
conenient. +t may be combined *ith almost any separation
techni4ue and is performed by focusing on the image and feel of a
desired location during the initial stages of e&iting the body. +t is een better to imagine that phase entry *ill occur and separation *ill
complete in a chosen location.

$e!hni%ue of $ran&lo!ation
3ll translocation techni4ues are also applicable to ob'ect finding
techni4ues since the use of both techni4ues re4uires altering thesurrounding the space. +nstead of concentrating on a location" the
practitioner is to focus on the specific detail of a space that is to be
found or changed. 3s a result" finding the necessary ob'ect (proided
this techni4ue has been mastered) is guaranteed" but maintaining the
original location *here the action begins is not guaranteed.
+f the goal is to find an ob'ect *hile remaining in the present
location" use the speciali?ed techni4ues described later on/ techni4uesthat change only a portion of the phase space.
2inding 3y Calling a +ame
This techni4ue is only used to find liing ob'ects. The practitioner
must call a person or an animal by name to cause the animate phaseresident to enter or appear nearby. The call should be loud" nearly a
shout" other*ise it *ill not al*ays *or!. 5enerally" it is often enough
to pronounce a name seeral times to achiee results. +f the desired animate ob'ect does not hae a name or the
practitioner does not !no* it" then any name or general summoning
*ill do" li!e" #ome hereH$ This should be done *hile mentallyfocusing on a clear image of the desired person or animal.
2inding 3y In%uiry
To perform this techni4ue" approach any person in the phase andas! him (or her) *here to 4uic!ly find a desired ob'ect. 3n accurate
ans*er is usually gien straight a*ay" and it should be follo*ed.8o*eer" to aoid *asting time" do not forget to mention that the
ob'ect must be found #4uic!ly$" or specify that the ob'ect should be
#nearby$. 9uring this communication" under no circumstances should
there be a doubt about the accuracy of the information" since
other*ise it may lead to a simulation of *hat is e&pected.
8/12/2019 Yoga of the Inner World
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/yoga-of-the-inner-world 151/235
The dra*bac! of this techni4ue is that it re4uires the presence of
an animate person and good s!ill at communicating *ith ob'ects in
the phase" *hich can proe difficult.
2inding 3y $urning 6round
+n order to use this techni4ue" the practitioner must concentrate
and imagine that the re4uired ob'ect is located some*here behind his
bac!" and after turning around he *ill actually see it there" een if it
*as not there 'ust a moment earlier. This *or!s best if the
practitioner" prior to turning around" did not ie* the place *here the
ob'ect is e&pected to appear.
2inding 6round a Corner
0hen approaching any corner" concentrate and imagine the
re4uired ob'ect is 'ust around the corner. Then" after turning the
corner" the ob'ect *ill be found. 3nything that limits space isibility
may be regarded as a corner. This does not hae to be the corner of ahouse or another type of buildingJ it could be the corner of a
*ardrobe" the corner of a truc!" etc.
The dra*bac! of this techni4ue is that it re4uires the aailabilityof a sufficiently large corner that bloc!s the ie* of anything around
the other side of it.
2inding in the 9and
This techni4ue is" in essence" only applicable to finding ob'ects
that can fit in or be held by the hand. To perform this techni4ue"
concentrate on the idea that the ob'ect is already in hand. 3t thatmoment" the practitioner must not loo! at it. 6oon after beginning to
concentrate on this idea" the practitioner *ill at first feel a slightsensation of the ob'ect lying in his hand" follo*ed by a full sensation
and appearance of the desired ob'ect.

2O: P96SE S$6$ES
Phase perception initially causes so much emotion and ariety ofe&perience that the practitioner is often not concerned *ith the
4uestion of ho* the phase might be purposefully used. The critical
4uestion of application becomes een more critical as e&perience
increases. 3pplication of the phase becomes more iid against the
bac!ground of understanding ho* the phenomenon can proide ameans of gaining information and ne* e&periences.
6ome approach the phase practice *ith a predetermined goal"
uninterested in anything else. 0ith a specific goal" a problem mayarise in the origination of the goal because the phase phenomenon is
*rapped in a thic! layer of pre'udices and stereotypes" *hich often
hae no bearing on the reality. The primary purpose of this chapter isto precisely separate reality from fiction. +ts second purpose is to
proide a detailed description of *hat may be obtained from the
practice of phase e&periences.
Eery proen and accessible practical application of the phase is based on three 4ualities/ a) application founded on the phases ability
to simulate any ob'ect and any space *ith any properties andfunctionsJ b) application based on the opportunity to connect *ith the
subconscious mind in order to obtain informationJ c) application
based on the phases ability to impact a practitioners physiology.
Most importantly" nothing described in this chapter is difficult to
achiee. 3ny application may be achieed during the ery first phase
if a practitioner manages to focus and apply the appropriate

practitioner should not try guessing *hat information the
subconscious mind has to offer and *hat it doesnt because mista!es
are easily made. For e&le" if a practitioner has neer been to Paris

practitioners subconscious mind !no*s nothing about it either"although through oer the course of life" the mind has already

There are three basic techni4ues for obtaining information in the
phase. Each of them has its adantages and disadantages that must be studied and learned before use.
6nimate O34e!t& $e!hni%ue. To perform this method of obtaining information" the practitioner"
in a full deep phase" must locate a person by techni4ues for finding
ob'ects and procure the necessary information from that personthrough the use of simple 4uestions. +f the re4uired information is
lin!ed to a certain person" then that person should be located in the
phase. +f the information is not related to anyone in particular" then it
is possible to create a uniersal information source" *hich must beassociated *ith *isdom and !no*ledge. For e&le" this could be a
*ise recluse" a *ell%!no*n philosopher" or a guru. The adantage of this techni4ue is that it is easy to pose additional
4uestions and it is also easier to erify *hateer information is
obtained. 3 dra*bac! of this techni4ue is that" for many" it is difficult
to communicate *ith liing ob'ects in the phase because of ob'ects
unresponsieness or a practitioners problems *ith maintaining the

the properties of phase spaces that do not fall under the category of
iid perception are not particularly stable % not only in terms of
appearance" but also in terms of their properties. orrectness of
information also depends on the ob'ects themseles. The problem
8/12/2019 Yoga of the Inner World
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/yoga-of-the-inner-world 165/235
rests in that the practitioner may not be able to properly control the
ob'ect in 4uestion and may receie false information.
Interesting fact!
The phase space is not everyday reality@ therefore,
it should not "e treated &ith the nor$al "elief thatevery o"servation should "e regarded as fact(
Een *hen a practitioner has learned to find animate and
inanimate ob'ects *ith an absence of doubt" there is still no guarantee
that the receied information is al*ays accurate. 3 fe* techni4ue%
related tric!s are able to test an ob'ects ability to spea! the truth.For e&le" an ob'ect can tal! about something *ith absolute
confidence" but that does not mean that *hat it communicates is all
true. +f doubt is e&perienced *hile finding the ob'ect" then doubt may
hae an effect on *hat the ob'ect says. This is *hy doubt must be
aoided at all costs % although beginners are bound to initially hae problems *ith this.
To determine *hether an ob'ect is able to gie accurate
information" a control 4uestion should be as!edJ a 4uestion that thesubconscious mind cannot !no* the ans*er to. For e&le" a
practitioner might as! a found ob'ect/ #0here can + buy the *inning
lottery tic!et for the Mega 7all 'ac!pot$ +f the ob'ect startsans*ering such 4uestions seriously" going into great detail" then the
ob'ect should be created ane* since its properties allo* the
possibility that it *ill lie. 3 proper ob'ect *ill remain silent or say
that it does not !no* the ans*er to the control 4uestion. 3fter accurate information is obtained through the use of a control
4uestion" it must be confirmed. This is done by means of a clarifying
4uestion. The practitioner needs to as! the ob'ect *here the
information came from to find out the details that offer proof of the
informations authenticity in the real *orld. The ob'ect may also be
as!ed the same 4uestions more than once" proided they are
re*orded. The ans*ers to re*orded 4uestions must be identical.

Remember" the more important the nature of the information and
the more serious action it implies" the more effort needs to be
inested in erifying it in the real *orld since a certain percentage of
the information is bound to be incorrect despite correct performance
of information%related techni4ues.

There are three main elements that" *ith the help of the phase"
may influence the physiology in ery beneficial *ays. First" it is
possible to contact the subconscious mind to learn ho* to influence physiology. 6econd" the brain reacts more strongly to sensations than
to real eents. For e&le" if running *hile in the phase" the
physical processes of the body *ould be consistent *ith the
processes occurring in the body of a person running in reality/
respiration accelerates" blood pressure increases" the heartbeat4uic!ens" and een blood flo* to the feet becomes greater. Third"
*hile the practitioner e&periences profound changes of consciousness
in the phase" this is *hen all direct and indirect forms ofautosuggestion are most effectie.
ot all influences on physiology are 1CCK effectie. 8o*eer"
een *ithout a guaranteed rate of success" the effort to influence physiology is *orthy of attention because ama?ing results can be
obtained. 3l*ays remember that achieing a good result may re4uire
repeated influence from the phase. Een in the physical *orld"
medications re4uire repeated ingestion. +f the goal is to cure a disease" do not rely solely on the phase.
6ic! persons must use the phase alongside treatment from physicians.The more serious the illness" the more strongly this rule applies.
O3taining Information
The diagnosis of health problems may be performed *ith the
same techni4ues used for obtaining information. +t is also possible to
learn methods to cure health problems" if such methods e&ist. 7oth of
8/12/2019 Yoga of the Inner World
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/yoga-of-the-inner-world 167/235
these possibilities apply to third parties being helped by efforts in the
phase. +nformation gathering is the only proen *ay to influence the
physiology of other people by using the phase. For e&le" it is
possible to find a *ell%!no*n healer in the phase and as! about
personal health problems or the problems of a friend or familymember. 3 clarified ans*er may be used in the assistance of
traditional medical treatment.
6ttention from (o!tor&
Find a doctor in the phase by using the techni4ue of finding
ob'ects and as! the doctor to ta!e e&amine or treat a !no*n illness or
other health problem. For e&le" in case of abdominal pains thedoctor may palpate the belly" apply pressure to arious points" and
perform a special massage. 3ny actions are possible" including an
operation. 3fter leaing the phase" the practitioner *ill feel a positie
result.
$a"ing medi!ine&
The placebo effect is much stronger in the phase than in reality
since all actions occur in a highly modified state of consciousnessand are perceied directly. Ob'ect locating techni4ues may be used to
find medications used to treat e&isting problems. +t is also possible to
create self%made substances to produce the desirable effect. Fore&le" in case of an acute headache in reality" a practitioner may
ta!e a pain!iller *hile in the phase and its effect *ill be partially felt
in the *a!eful state.
(ire!t Effe!t
3n illness or problem may be directly affected by actions in the phase. For e&le" a sore throat may be *armed by enisioning a
burning sensation in the throat or by moing to a hot location" li!e a
sauna. +f a practitioner *ould li!e to increase physical fle&ibility"
then stretching in the phase *ill cause the body to ad'ust to the
none&istent action by rela&ing and tensing the corresponding tendons
and muscles.

Programming
This is nothing more than normal autosuggestion or auto%training
in the phase" *hich is more potent in the phase than reality. 3
practitioner should repeat a desired goal silently or aloud and" if possible" should imagine e&periencing the desired result. For
e&le" if the aim is to get rid of depression" a practitioner should
attempt to recreate a happy mood in the phase" e&periencing it to the
fullest e&tent possible. 6imultaneously" silent repetition of a goal *ith
complete understanding and e&pectation that eerything *ill be
alright" that eerything is *onderful *ill undoubtedly produce the
desired effect.
U&eful eperien!e&
Eerything *ith useful properties in reality should be e&perienced
as useful in the phase since the body *ill react in practically the same
manner. seful e&periences may include e&ercising" going to thegym" haing a massage" ta!ing mud or salt baths" and e&periencing
pleasant emotions.
P&y!hology
Practicing phase%related techni4ues faorably affects the
psychology because it offers ne* opportunities and eo!es ne*emotions. 8o*eer" there are specific applications of the phase that
produce differing psychological effects. For e&le" it is possible to
use the phase space as a bridge for dealing *ith phobias by
facilitating a setting *here a practitioner may confront and deal *ithcertain fears. ;arious comple&es may be defeated in a similar
manner. The use of a *ell%!no*n techni4ue called re%isiting(recapitulation)" *here a person re%e&periences aderse eents *hile
trying to relate to them in a ne* *ay" has been used successfully in
the phase.

3ny motor s!ills can be sharpened by using it in reality and in the

People often approach the practice of arious phase states *ith
deep%rooted misconceptions about *hat can actually be achieedthrough practice. Eerything listed in this section refers to these
misconceptions. +t has not been proen that any of these things is
impossibleJ ho*eer" actions should be based on proen and erified
methods in order to aoid ma!ing mista!es and *asting time.
Ehysical e#it' +f the first e&perience *ith the phase phenomenonhappens by accident" it is almost impossible not to interpret it as a
real separation of the soul from the body I a physical e&it. This is
ho* the initial phase e&perience really feels. 0ith e&perience it becomes easily noticeable that certain things in reality do not match
things in the phase" li!e the placement of ob'ects or furniture in the
house *here a phase is first encountered. o actual physical e&it from the body has eer been proen
through scientific e&perimentation and obseration. For e&le" in
the phase" it is not possible to fly around to locations in physical
*orld" although it may seem so" the locations that are e&perienced are produced *ithin the mind. or is it possible to pinch someone in the
phase and then to find a bruise on the person *hile in reality. Other &orlds' The phase space is similar to the physical *orld"
and a practitioner may be inclined to thin! that the soul has left the
body. 6ometimes the phase ta!es on an absolutely unnatural form. 3s
a result" the practitioner may decide that a parallel *orld has been
entered/ the *orld beyond" the astral plane" mental space" or the
ether. 3lthough trael in the phase can lead to many places" this does
8/12/2019 Yoga of the Inner World
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/yoga-of-the-inner-world 170/235
not mean that the phase allo*s trael through or use of actual"
alternate *orlds. The practitioner should be reasonable.
3evelop$ent of super-a"ilities' +t is partially correct to consider
the practice of the phase as an e&trasensory ability since it is an actual
deelopment of e&tremely unusual s!ills that hae al*ays beenconsidered mystical. Times hae changed" and the phase should
hardly be shuttled off to the esoteric" obscure corners of !no*ledge.
There e&ists an unproen theory that the practice of the phase can
impart unusual abilities. 0hile literature is full of references to this
effect" these abilities hae not yet been proen by anyone. The same
applies to intentionally deeloping unusual abilities in the phase. es"
these may be trained *hile in the phase" but this does not mean thattraining in the phase *ill yield the same results in the real *orld.
Practice should not be for the sa!e of achieing super%abilities since
there are many proen applications that do translate to reality in
aluable *ays. 7e realistic.

0hile practicing the phase may still be ie*ed by the ma'ority asentertainment or an element of self%deelopment at best" phase
practice ta!es on a *hole ne* meaning for the physically disabled.
For them" the phase may be the only place *here the handicaps ofreality dissole and disabled practitioners e&perience a range of
possibility greater than the life e&perienced in reality.

seeing people do in reality. 6omeone *ho is paraly?ed *ill be able*al!" run" and also fly. 3 deaf person *ill hear the murmur of
streams and the chirping of birds. For the disabled" the phase practiceis a chance to discoer ne*" incomparable *orlds free of physical
limitation.
aturally" there are some nuances that must be understood. First"
for e&le" if a person *as born blind" then there is the 4uestion as
to *hether or not they *ould be able to see in the phase the same *ay
ordinary people see. 8o*eer" this issue has not been fully studied"
8/12/2019 Yoga of the Inner World

and blind people should simply carry out their o*n independent
research. 6econd" some types of disabilities can negatiely affect the
practice of the phase states. For e&le" people *ho hae gone
blind hae greater difficultly catching the intermediate state bet*een
sleep and *a!efulness since" unli!e seeing people" they may a*a!en*ithout opening their eyes to the perception of sound. Third" a purely
psychological disability plays an enormous negatie role.
Psychologically disabled people hae a *hole range of specific
beliefs and attitudes that may present an obstacle for them.
0hateer the indiidual issues" this particular area of phase
applications re4uires additional study. +t deseres significant

The only sure *ay to get practice *ithout unnecessarily *asting

possibilities of the phase phenomenon.
The ma'ority of aailable information regarding dissociatie

perspectie of a clean slate" using a logical bearing in thin!ing/

ample focus must be gien to indiidual thought and formation of

ntil all 4uestions are ans*ered through a search for ans*ers in

many issues *ill al*ays remain up to indiidual 'udgment and
understanding. Finding all of the ans*ers is impossible. Moreoer"
trying to possess all of the ans*ers is a serious inhibitor to real

The adice and e&periences of others may lead to error. +n no case

2iterature of eery sort has al*ays been the main ehicle for
disseminating information about the phase state. The phase phenomenon is referred to by other terms/ astral pro'ection" out%of%
body trael" or lucid dreaming. +n addition to disseminating
information" many boo!s are often ehicles for disseminating
fallacies.
This is easy to recogni?e *hen researching seeral such boo!s
and comparing described eents and theories. The information is
more often than not contradictory and based on opinions that haeneer been erified by anyone" including the authors. The result is a
mass of speculation that has no bearing on reality" nearly al*ays
accompanied by a false certainty about the sub'ect matter. 8o*eer"
unli!e the real *orld" the phase is not a place *here one can beliee
ones eyes or feelings. The phases appearance and 4ualities dependery much on the person e&periencing it.
For e&le" if a practitioner beliees upon entering the phase the
body *ill be lying nearby on the bed" then it *ill al*ays be there. +f a practitioner beliees that the perceied body should al*ays be
tethered to the physical body" then in the practitioner *ill al*ays see
and een feel a tether in the phase. This is a simple case ofe&pectations becoming reality. 6imilarly" someone *ho has entered
the phase by accident and thin!s that the time of death has arried
may see angels and a tunnel *ith a light at the end. +f someone is
e&tremely religious" there may be a perception that something holy"een 5od" has appeared. +f entry to the phase is construed as a result
of being abducted by aliens" then that is e&actly *hat *ill happen. This *ould all be 4uite funny if it *ere not actually encountered.
0hen it occurs" the only thing left to do is to beliee. To beliee" to
tell others about it" and *rite boo!s about it...
There are authors *ho impart no illusions" but it is often difficult
for a noice to separate the truth from illusion or open fabrication"

been erified by personal e&perience. The rest should simply be
noted and possibly ta!en into consideration.
+n conclusion" boo!s should be studied to discoer techni4ue%
related information that allo*s a practitioner to enter the phase andcontrol the e&perience. This is the only point of intersection among
all beliefs and theories.

6ince techni4ues used to enter the phase are associated *ith a
specific type of mental operation" it is necessary to createcomfortable conditions so that e&ternal distracters are !ept to a
minimum. 3 room should neither be too cold or too hot" nor too
bright. Performing techni4ues at a comfortable temperature in a
dar!ened room or *hile *earing a sleeping mas! are *ays to
promote unhindered practice. +nterfering noises are often also ma'or distracters and isolation
from such noises is necessary to successful practice. +t is often
sufficient to turn off the phone and close doors and *indo*s. +f thisdoes not help" or if it is e&tremely loud outside the *indo*" one can
use standard earmuffs.
+t is also helpful to gie adance notice to people so that they arenot alarmed. +t is also preferable that no one is in the bed *ith the

The ability to analy?e the e&periences of others can be a great
supplement to personal training. This allo*s a practitioner to reie*
and thin! through situations that hae not yet been personallyencountered. The more a practitioner analyses the e&periences of
other practitioners" fe*er mista!es *ill be made during indiidual
practice.
Reading the e&periences contained in this section *ill shed much
light on proper phase practice. The actions that these practitioners
too! to achiee results *ill be subconsciously retained by thereaders memory. 2ater" these actions may reproduce similar
circumstances in the phase" affording aluable opportunities to
respond using proper actions.
3t the beginning stages of practice" many practitioners lac! in real
descriptions of phase e&periences *hile techni4ue%related !no*ledge
abounds. Techni4ues can be conceptuali?ed in many different *ays"*hile descriptions of their application are much more demonstratie.
Thus" many practitioners hae no idea about ho* genuine practice
transpires.
The e&periences described in this section are useful % een from a
psychological point of ie*. Een if a person beliees that the phase
phenomenon e&ists" it may be construed as e&tremely difficult or personally impossible. 3fter learning about other peoples
e&periences" a person *ill reali?e that these practitioners hae been

able to enter the phase *ithout any complicated or incomprehensible
techni4ues. The reader *ill understand that the !ey is to ta!e right
actions at the right moment" trying to master the phase *ith calmness
and confidence.
0hile reie*ing and analy?ing other peoples e&periences in thissection" the reader should remember that these e&periences are based
on personal beliefs about the phenomenon" *hich is *hy occult
terminology and notions may be encountered. 8o*eer" such aspects
of the descriptions are not important. Focus should be gien to
techni4ue%related actions described in the accounts. The reader
should also ta!e into account that some nuances (li!e e&periential
realism) are not al*ays clear in the te&t and that it is not al*ays possible to determine *hy certain eents occurred in the phase
e&periences described here.
3ll of the follo*ing descriptions belong to real people *ho either
related the accounts orally" *rote them do*n during classes at the
6chool of Out%of%7ody Trael" submitted them ia email" or postedthem on the forum at www.obe4u.com. Though the total number of
recorded" erifiable phase descriptions e&ceeds one thousand" only
seeral cases that are illustratie and useful for deeloping analysishae been selected. Primarily" these are descriptions of the
practitioners initial phase e&periences" *hich are most releant to
ne* practitioners. The large number of mista!es made by almost eery practitioner"

accustomed to this sensation" although any other ob'ect *ill do. +t is
necessary to actiely and attentiely focus on the sensations in the
