In this online course, you will learn techniques for inducing an out-of-body-experience (OBE), as described in Robert Monroe's seminal book Journeys Out of the Body. Participants will be assisted by special Hemi-Sync® frequencies developed based on the book and will receive MP3 downloads of exercises as part of the course. An OBE is a state in which one's consciousness appears to depart the physical body allowing perception by means other than those of the physical senses. Hemi-Sync® Support for Journeys Out of the Body is an in-home training series designed to provide Hemi-Sync audio-guidance to those who desire to achieve this state. With practice, one can be brought up to the borderland sleep state, and through it, to experience the out-of-body state with full conscious awareness. Six tracks; first track is an intro by Robert Monroe followed by five exercises, four of which are unguided. Guidance manual included.
The OBE phenomenon is discussed in great detail in Robert A. Monroe's undisputed classic, Journeys Out of the Body (Doubleday, 1971). This book is highly recommended to complement this series. Pay particular attention to chapter 16 of the book.
Introduction
In the book, Robert (better known as “Bob”) explains the use of “borderland sleep” to achieve a state of consciousness that is conducive to the out-of-body experience. The concept is quite simple: learning to attain and hold a state of consciousness where your mind is awake but your body is deeply asleep. However, its successful execution requires dedication and persistence.
This Mind Awake, Body Asleep state is a primary milestone in using the Hemi-Sync® audio guidance technology, that will be used in this workshop to help you achieve an OBE, step by step.
The Borderland Sleep method 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 provides exercises designed to assist you through each phase of your journey.
Exercise 1—The Importance of Relaxation
In the set-up to this section, we will also cover the importance of the OBE, adopting the proper mindset and some suggestions for practice.
Learning to relax our bodies and quiet our minds is a skill that is critical to achieving an OBE. The Relaxation Reinforcement exercise uses audio frequencies that help induce a state of deep physical and mental relaxation. In addition, the verbal guidance in this exercise will teach you how to achieve and maintain a deeply relaxed state.
Exercise 2—Condition A
When you have learned to comfortably achieve and maintain a deeply relaxed state, this second exercise will guide you into the Borderland Sleep state — that delicate liminal state of being that exists between wakefulness and sleep. The frequencies in this exercise help you to maintain this state of mental attention, and to develop a sense of stability and peacefulness while in this altered state of consciousness.
In this section, we will address common sensations and experiences in the Borderland state, including the vibrational state — a typical exit symptom.
Exercise 3—Condition B
After you have developed a growing strength of focus and conscious awareness, the Condition B exercise will guide you to the next step — holding you steady in the Borderland Sleep State without the mental aid of focusing on a single thought-object. In this state, you will experience a sense of freedom from your everyday concerns and anxieties — to just be peacefully present with yourself.
Here we will discuss navigating non-physical realms and some of the obstacles we are likely to encounter when exploring expanded states of consciousness, including the fear barrier.
Exercise 4—Condition C
In this section, we will begin to learn exit techniques, beginning with the Target, as well as how to quickly and easily return to physical matter reality.
The Condition C exercise leads you through the systematic deepening of the Borderland Sleep State, guiding your fully conscious mind across and beyond the sleep threshold. The audio guidance signals will help you to let go of your rigid hold on the edge of the Borderland State, progressively deepening your level of consciousness.
Exercise 5—Condition D
The Condition D exercise puts all you have learned into a single exercise, with the most powerful frequencies in the series. With this exercise you will achieve a profound state of consciousness from which you can transcend your ordinary sense of reality. The deepest explorations into self and universe become possible here. You have no limits!

How to find greater ease and contentment in the present moment
New and more effective approaches to letting go
What we really mean by “I”
How to distinguish ego from the true Self
Ways to access the wisdom of our inner guidance
The nature of spiritual awakening and enlightenment
How to integrate these practices into our daily lives
Behind all our endeavors lies the desire to be happy, to feel content, relaxed, and at ease. No one wants to be in pain or to suffer unnecessarily. This is our true bottom line. Why then, are we so seldom at peace?
How often do you find yourself worried, anxious, or frustrated, thinking “if only I get through this next event or problem, then I will be able to finally relax!”? But why do the problems never end and the pattern seems to repeat again and again?
We have many responsibilities, our days are busy and hectic, to-do lists are getting longer. But do we really have to live in a state of stress and worry in order to accomplish everything?
Throughout history, there have been those who've discovered a timeless truth about human consciousness: our Natural Mind — our true Self — is where peace and contentment arise naturally and effortlessly. We don't need to do or get anything to find peace of mind. It is just a matter of learning how to return to our true Self. The beauty of this approach is that nothing needs to be changed or eliminated. It is simply relaxing back into our natural state of Effortless Being.
Through guided meditations and exercises, you will learn to discover the joy of living free from worry and stress and find an inner freedom, and peace of mind that is not dependent on events and circumstances of your life. An inner freedom and peace that we can return to again and again.

In this online course, you will explore methods to activate the power within yourself, achieve inner peace, remain centered and calm in times of uncertainty, and transcend limiting thought patterns.
You will also learn to tap into an expanded source of knowledge and guidance for your life, find tools for initiating personal changes and transformational growth, become more aligned with your life’s purpose, develop your intuition, bring more light into your body, and embrace a trusting, loving approach to living. Here is a description of each exercise that will be included in this course.
Exercise 1—Awakening Through Stillness
Learning to relax our bodies, quiet our minds and center our hearts brings countless gifts to us in the forms of deep inner peace, awareness of our true essence and enhanced connections to others and a greater source of love. By regularly taking the time to get quiet and refresh ourselves, we can generate more clarity, energy and centeredness in our lives.
In this exercise you will start by deeply relaxing your body so that your mind can easily follow. You will then be guided to let your mind get quieter, and calmer. Further into the exercise, you will experience two periods of pure silence, progressing in length, so that you become comfortable with longer periods of silence. It is in the stillness and quiet of our centered minds and hearts that we get in touch with our essential self. The essence of our feelings, wisdom and love. It is often a place beyond words, and it is in this place where the potential for higher transformation exists, the place of centered being.
Towards the end you will receive a memory encoding, which are words to say to yourself at a future time that will help you remember your still and centered state of being. You will then be guided to come back to being awake and alert.
Exercise 2—Equilibrium
By entering a centered state of being in our hearts, minds and spirits, we allow ourselves to remain calm and clear in the midst of change or uncertainty. When we operate from a place of ‘being in the center’, we can draw upon inner strength, access wisdom and respond appropriately in any situation. When centered, we become grounded, and aligned with our intentions. We can bend, flow along or stay rooted where we need to be in response to conditions around us, and we know how to move into our next step.
When in a state of uncertainty about our future, so often our habitual mindset will offer us words, images or patterns based on the past; often the negative aspects or perceptions of the past. We tend to project onto the future what we choose to remember, real or imagined, about the past. These thoughts can then influence our feelings and our energy levels in the present, lowering our vibrations and affecting our ability to remain in a positive mindset. But when we choose to create beautiful and positive possibilities in our minds, we move into a sweeter, clearer and stronger energy state that supports us in manifesting positive life situations.
In this exercise you are invited to enter a centered, loving state of being, and to practice sustaining this as you visit a particular event in your life that brings up feelings of uncertainty. You will have an opportunity to discover your feelings about this event, and then shift to a very positive, empowering perspective by using your own imagination and intentions. You will thereby create a new pattern for yourself, and achieve a state of inner equilibrium.
Exercise 3—The Limitless Self
There are times in our lives when we have touched into and fully experienced life from a higher level of love, awareness and understanding. It’s natural and enlightening for us to rise above and move beyond current perspectives, reactions and behavioral patterns that sometimes limit us. This rising above in awareness is known as a “transcendent” state of being. And the more comfortable we become with this state of being, the more we will evolve in alignment with our soul’s higher path.
The purpose of this exercise is to help you easily shift yourself (your mind and feelings) into an elevated, transcendent state of being—a state that will offer you a greater overview of your life, allow you to connect with your deepest and broadest aspects of self, and enable you to cross a bridge from the physical to non‐ physical states of awareness. This exercise will provide a movement through vibrational levels to help you consciously access more of your true essence, and enjoyment of your highly expanded self.
Exercise 4—Life Path Journey
As we bring the activities and interests of our daily lives into alignment with the truth in our heart and wisdom of our soul, we create a way of living that is full of clarity, richness, generosity and fulfillment.
When we look over the path of our lives from a different, elevated perspective, we often find marvelous well‐ orchestrated patterns placed with exquisite, yet sometimes curious, timing. These reveal to us a greater or higher plan unfolding. Periodically, however, we may feel the call to reevaluate or redirect where our lives seem to be going. We may need to reconsider what is or isn’t working for us, and find ways to align our outer actions with our inner wisdom. This is our spirit’s call to a new level of personal transformation (evolution).
In this meditation, from a centered state of being, you will be invited to experience a broader personal overview, which may help you recognize threads or patterns that exist in your larger life path. You will then explore how to align what is at the core of your being, your place of essential wisdom, love and understanding, with the activities and events you are manifesting in your life. Here there is an opportunity to get clearer about your life purpose.
You will also be able to visualize and help bring into reality harmonious choices and directions for your life which will assist you in creating more fulfilling possibilities for everyday living.

I really loved this course even though I had previously purchased the CD set, this course gave me insight and I was able to understand what the different exercises were and gain more benefit. Also having the ability to do this at my own pace, and know I can repeat it really works for me. Life is busy and sometimes hectic, and I don’t always have the privacy and bandwidth to take scheduled programs.

By learning how to use Acupressure points with meditation, you can find peace of mind & enhance your journey to spiritual awakening.
The points open the flow of healing energy to greater enhance your meditation practice and experience.
Michael will guide you step by step how to use key Acupressure points,
Acu-Yoga postures and mudras, hand-specific types of meditations.
Each session is intended to be completed over the course of about a week. In each session, we’ll focus on different ways in which these simple exercises can make a significant difference in your life.
Acupressure is an ancient healing art that uses the fingers to press key points on the surface of the skin to stimulate the body’s natural self-curative abilities. When these points are pressed, they release muscular tension and promote the circulation of blood and the body’s life force to aid healing. Acupuncture and acupressure use the same points, but acupuncture employs needles, while acupressure uses the gentle but firm pressure of hands (and even feet). There is a massive amount of scientific data that demonstrates why and how acupuncture is effective. But acupressure, the older of the two traditions, was neglected after the Chinese developed more technological methods for stimulating points with needles and electricity. Acupressure, however, continues to be the most effective method for self-treatment of tension-related ailments by using the power and sensitivity of the human hand.
