The Art of Sleep Fishing…
That golden space between wake and sleep is where the astral magic happens. The trick is: how to get there?
As a young child, I had real issues sleeping. I'd ask my parents, friends: "How do you actually fall asleep?" They either thought I was joking or crazy (or maybe a bit of both...). But I really meant it. I'd lie there for hours trying to figure out how I was supposed to fall asleep.
Inadvertently, and over time, I stumbled upon something that was to later really help me become adept at the whole conscious astral travel thing. And it was this: I found that I could only fall asleep if I made up a story, and fell into the role of a character once the dream took me under. Alternatively, I'd make up music in my head and would know when I fell asleep when the music became real. I could actually hear the transition take place, and cycle my mind back and forth over that golden precipice of wake and sleep—imagined music and real music.
Tuning into this golden precipice is something that I call Sleep Fishing, and an invaluable tool in the astral traveler's quiver. And here's how to go about it:
-As you begin to fall asleep, watch your mind lose its grip and fracture into characters
-Become fully lucid again by rolling your eyeballs slightly upward toward your brow area, reminding yourself of who you are (in the good old 3D, of course)
-Repeat, rinse, repeat (as many times as you can before losing yourself to never-never land)
Over time, you'll gain conscious traction as you traverse the golden precipice backward and forward, loosening the grip of automated wake/sleep program we all seem afflicted with (in this reality anyhow). And this in turn can lead to a widening of the astral body take-off zone, giving you a greater window of possibility to the whole astral experience 🌟
