small bites so as not to overwhelm students with too much information at one time. For best results, focus all your efforts on each week's material and exercises. This is not to say you cannot peek ahead to see what is coming, but only that you should avoid getting too involved in what's ahead. Please do not let your enthusiasm go to waste, however. Pick up something in the reading list from appendix A and immerse yourself. Introduction How the Ninety-Day Program Develops This program is divided into thirteen chapters called Weeks; one new chapter of material should be read per week. The first half of each week's chapter contains information necessary for completing that week's exercises. This includes special instructions, background information, diagrams, and relevant tips. Each week's chapter also includes directions for using the BrainWave Generator, the computer program on the CD that accompanies this book. The BrainWave Generator is a computer program that generates sounds to induce altered states of consciousness. Use of the BrainWave Generator is optional; it is definitely not required for this program to be effective. However, it can help enormously. When used with headphones, the BrainWave Generator is capable of helping users relax, meditate, and induce altered states of consciousness ideal for having an OBE. When used with light and sound machines, which add light goggles into the mix, the BrainWave Generator becomes an even more powerful OBE aid. For more details on the BrainWave Generator, see appendix B. The second part of each week's chapter consists of a day planner-style calendar that includes the following: Daily tasks: A list of OBE programrelated activities divided into morning, daytime, and evening "to do's." Affirmations: Short, present-tense, positive statements help program you for OBE success. Daily affirmations are used during waking hours. Nightly affirmations are used as you drift off to sleep. Daily exercises: Step-by-step instructions on how to complete each day's exercises (mind taming, breathwork, energy work, OBE exit methods). Author comments: Advice from both expert and novice perspectives. Journaling space: A place to write down your progress, make observations, and catalogue your OBE-related experiences. The ninety-day program itself is divided into two distinct parts. Part 1 (Weeks 1-6) focuses on learning core skills associated with the OBE. Primarily it's about learning to relax, how to breathe, and how to keep your mind clear of intruding thoughts. It's also about developing your energy body, which greatly aids the OBE exit process. Key, too, is training your ability to recapture what we call shadow memories, those dreamlike OBE memories that you bring back with you from your astral travels. Part 2 (Weeks 7-13) focuses on OBE exit training. During this part of the program we will introduce you to a number of proven techniques for achieving an OBE. We also introduce ways of overcoming key fears and how to adjust your mindset for best results. More importantly, we give advice for setting up conditions that are most favorable for having an OBE, discuss common roadblocks, and offer solutions. We also provide some advanced projection-inducing techniques for the
