allow yourself to break concentration when the vibrations start. Theyare a natural EFFECT caused by energy coursing through all the hundreds ofmajor and minor chakras in your body. If you do find yourself being distracted bythis, spend more time and effort doing the concentration exercises until youovercome this problem.b) If you have not mastered using your imaginary HANDS for relaxation, raisingenergy and chakra work, you may have difficulty using them for climbing theROPE. This does not mean you have to be able to open your chakras successfullyto project using this method, you dont, it just helps if you can.This method is very direct. It shortens the time needed to project dramatically! Onceyou start pulling in earnest on your ROPE you WILL enter trance, your chakras WILLopen, the vibrations WILL start and you WILL project, very quickly! The speed of thismethod may frighten you; the first time you try it. Everything will seem to happen TOO fast. You will get used to this, though, and will appreciate having plenty of mentalenergy to use during your projection.If your powers of concentration are good, you have a better chance of getting out withthis method than any other, even if you havent mastered deep relaxation and tranceskills. What is needed, apart from the ability to concentrate, is the ability to carry outstrong mental actions, without any corresponding muscular action, i.e., you have to beable to separate mental and physical actions.If you have trouble with any part of the ROPE method, analyze it, find the problem area,then go back and concentrate on the related training exercises until you overcome theproblem.A ROPE VariationNote: One good variation for the simple ROPE technique is to do the full sequence ofexercises and energy, chakra work first, but separate from, the actual projection. Dothe full sequence, but dont close your chakras. Get up and have a break, makeyourself comfortable, have a drink etc. Then return to your bed /chair fresh, spend acouple of minutes relaxing and go straight to your ROPE. This will increase theamount of chakra energy available during the projection.The Mechanics OF How ROPE WorksROPE is the most dynamic projection method to date and can override the need to do justabout anything else, once it is learned. Let me explain a little more of the mechanics ofwhat actually happens when you use ROPE, by breaking it down:Clearing The Mind:The mental act of climbing the ROPE fully occupies and clears the mind.Brain Wave Activity:Clearing the mind and exerting, one pointed, dynamic pressure on the astral body, forcesthe reduction of brain wave activity.Deep Relaxation:Reducing brain wave activity forces the body into a deep level of relaxation.Trance State:Exerting dynamic pressure on the astral body, while the physical body is deeply relaxed,and brain wave activity is at a low level, FORCES the mind and body into the trancestate. The Chakras:Exerting dynamic pressure on the astral body, while in trance, FORCES the energy bodyto expand and the chakras to open.Vibrations:Exerting dynamic pressure on the astral body while the energy body is in its expandedstate and the chakras are open causes energy to flow through the
