This series was designed as a companion set of exercises to complement the Journeys Out of the Body book. Chapter 16 of that book, titled "Preliminary Exercises", describes the use of the "borderland sleep state" to achieve deep relaxation. The concept if quite simple, however, it is successful execution requires dedication and persistence. The basic idea is to pick a time when you are tired and sleepy, and to use your mind's concentration to keep yourself awake for an extended period of time. If you are successful, you will find yourself in an altered state of consciousness, where your mind is awake but your body is asleep. This mind awake/body asleep state is a primary milestone in the Institute's flagship residential program, the Gateway Voyage, Using Hem-Sync, program participants to learn to achieve this state in a relatively short period of time (See Gateway Wave Series) "Preliminary exercises" outlines four main steps on the way to achieving the out-of-body state, which Bob labeled as Conditions A through D. The Hemi-Sync Support for Journeys Out of the Body series provided exercises designed to assist you through each phase of your journey. It is strongly recommended that you read Bob's exact instruction, as they were written in Journeys Out of the Body back in 1971. You may find that reading (or re-reading) the entire work may be appropriate as part of your preparation process. At the very least, you are encouraged to read Chapter 16 and keep it handy to refer to as your move from step to step. Return to Table of Contents "X"
