Practice this for about a week every day. You want to get used to having a body again,
arms and hands and legs and feet and torso and head. Practice stretching out your
hands and grabbing at things. And get used to looking around and seeing through your
astral eyes.
That is the easy part of the exercise.
Once you are used to working in your astral body, it is time to make that body do things
in the physical realm. To learn to do this, we take our lessons from ghosts.
Ghosts are able to cause things to happen. They make things move, adjust
temperature, cause noises and smells. There is nothing that will persuade a person of
the existence of the supernatural faster than to have a roll of paper towels jump off a
shelf and fly across a room. Doors open and close and water glasses explode next to
sleeping hotel guests.
And things can appear and disappear. Think of the person in the library who puts a
book down and when she looks for it again it is gone and there was no one around to
take it.
How do they do it? Well, we are not quite sure but we think it comes from taking the
ambient energy in a room such as heat and electricity, and using it as a power source
for themselves. That would explain cold spots and batteries dying for no reason.
What we are going to do takes a lot of energy so things are going to become very chilly
where we work. And this gives us the means of testing our skills.
If it is winter, and where I live it is winter most of the year it seems, the thermostat in the
living room is going be turning the heat on and off with some regularity. What you do is
project into the living room right after the heat has turned off and the room is warm.
Now, begin to visualize all the heat in the room entering your astral body and charging
it up. Keep pumping it in, feeling yourself become more and more solid, more and more
powered up. And after some practice with this the heat will turn on as your astral body
draws enough heat out of the room to set off the thermostat.
When that happens, try to move something. Go over to a light object and see if you
can grab it with your hand and move it. A voudoun in Haiti was described by Sir Julian
Huxley as practicing moving match boxes (small boxes that matches came in in the
olden days). You can practice with pieces of paper, small boxes, anything that does
not weigh too much.
Once you are able to do that it is time to do something spectacular. Set a voice
recorder running in the room and project into it. Draw energy into yourself and then
speak into the recorder. When you are back into your body, play the machine back and
listen for your voice. It may not come the first time, but with practice it will and you will
