These experiments are generally influenced by the hygro-metrical state or humidity. Its action is contrary to the etheric double, and can prevent the Out of Body Experience. For this reason, avoid humid environments and times, as the ghost is a type of coagulation of radionic nature.

 

Also the temperature has its influence. The astral body dilates and expands with heat. For this reason, the place where the exit into the astral is going to happen must have a temperature higher than that of the physical body, so that the dilation of the emotional body is favored.

Atmospheric electricity: the times and the environments impregnated with electricity must be avoided, because electrical influences disturb the nervous balance of the operator. If the electricity is too much, as happens especially during storms, the operation presents difficulties and the “double” could suffer.

 

Atmospheric pressure: when the barometer rises, the luminosity of the double etheric increases. Instead, when the pressure decreases, the opposite is true for the condensation of the etheric material. The visibility of the ghost intensifies when the barometer is above 760 mm, the opposite if it falls below 760 mm.

 

Astrological influence: in our experience we have noticed a constant relationship between the phases of the Moon, the Zodiacal Signs which this satellite occupies, the variation of the atmospheric pressure and the Out of Body Experience. When the Moon passes in the Perigee (maximum vicinity of the Moon to the Earth) the air rises, it weighs less on the mercury of the barometer, and therefore the pressure is lower. The opposite happens when the Moon is in the Apogee. The New Moon and the Full Moon, the two quarters, the transits through the Equinoxes, coincide with the alteration of the oceanic tides, with that atmospheric, of the humors of our body and, naturally, of the double etheric. The moon-sun action of the phase is felt one or two days after the astronomic phenomenon. Therefore, we believe a systematic study would be of great interest in order to understand better the influence of the solar system on the outcome of the Out of Body Experience. Another decisive factor is the personal horoscope with the passages of the planets (transits, planetary directions).

Clothing: dress in a comfortable way to be free and warm, do not wear belts, shoes, bracelets, chains, wristwatches and anything prickly or tight.

 

Environmental lighting: complete darkness is preferable to even a weak and artificial lighting. The light is a dissolvent of any ghostly substance.

 

Assistance: it is advisable to experiment alone, but if you have to have a witness, (wife, husband or a friend), you must explain everything to them so as not to be disturbed by them and so that nobody becomes alarmed or tries to wake you up.

 

Silence: the room where you experiment should be isolated and protected from external noises. No noisy clocks or watches. The silence should be absolute, let us say, sepulchral. Sealed doors and windows. The silence is linked to the cadaveric stillness of the body. The feet of the chairs should be rubber-lined so as not to make a noise if the assistant moves them.

 

The best time of the day: to pass into the astral it is recommended to carry it out, at least for the first few times, from 11 at night to 3 of the following morning. At this time there is more silence and darkness and the body is used to going to sleep, the stomach is light, the astral body is more inclined to leave the physical body. It is recommended to repeat the experience always at the same time.

 

Suitable seasons: varies from subject to subject, but, without doubt, the most favorable are the days near the solar entry in the Signs of Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn, especially if they coincide with a lunar phase.

 

Bodily position: the best is on the right side, so avoiding heart compression, or, lying on the back with the head towards north, on a bed or sofa.

 

Bodily regulations: eat in moderation on the days before the experience and on the day it is done. Do not fast, but have little appetite so as not to load the digestive tract.

 

Ethical attitudes: the complete calm of the mind is indispensable. In the case of illness or not feeling well, worries or troubles, do not try the O.B.E. Avoid distractions because they prevent the creation, with your will , of the monoideism, that is, the single idea which, assisted by the hyperapnea (stopping of breathing) and by the visualization of the scene or the action of the exit from the body, gives the exteriorization.
