OBEing through Hypnosis

[Hibby]

Wow. I’ve just seen this video where a man literally had a scalpel cut his belly open to remove a tumour without any aesthetic, with just a man sitting next to him making hypnotic suggestions.

Thanks to Athelstone for providing the link
The video is an hour and 40 minutes long so you might want to skip through some of it. Also there is actual footage of the surgery, so be warned.

The video mentioned a lot of relaxation, so I just thought if hypnotism can do that much, why not help a person to AP. As seen in the video, it is pretty much able to take any normal person into trance state aswell as creating very real visualisations. Although it may make APing too easy and too accessible.

There are tapes using hypnosis for AP on the market, and some of the methods in MAP use suggestions to help in memory retrieval, and affirmations, which are simply self-suggestions. But if you want to learn to control your psyche, at some point you need to leave the 'hypnosis tape of someone else's voice telling you what to do', and learn how to get to trance yourself, because awareness training is a 'do it yourself' process, in a very basic sense.

Well, for most people that first projection is the main obstacle, once they can get through that stage it should be easier? Well, atleast they've got some understanding of why they're doing all of this training.

If hypnosis is appealing to you, I'd recommend making your own, so it's your own voice talking at you, and stressing the fact that:
You already project
You will remember your projection
You are safe in the astral.

These are the most basic blocks to a conscious projection that I know of.
