Btw, do electric appliances disturb my efforts in terms of electromagnetic fields they create and/or any other reason? In other words, should I shut down my central electricity switch, as I read someone proposing a long time ago? No. I think the assumption that the energy body is electromagnetic in nature is unfounded. Although that doesn't mean em fields can't affect it, I think that em fields won't make any difference at all in the projection process. I project with various emf producing appliances in the house, and even a solar pool heater flowing above me and it causes no effect whatsoever. (The pump is right next to my room), and some of the panels are right on the roof over my room.

is there a specific orientation, e.g. with respect to magnetic north/south, that I should maintain while trying to achieve such a state? cause I 've read all sorts of things, and as I ve said all this can subliminally affect one towards succession but also towards failure, depending on the person. Monroe thought that, and did his first projections that way (N-S). But after a while he began to realize that it didn't make any difference, and he stopped following that rule.
Do whatever makes sense to you. I don't follow that rule, and it's never been a problem for me. I find that the only force that makes any difference is the magnetic force from the physical body to my moving awareness. Anything else is almost irrelevant. Like 'strong force' vs. 'weak force', so to speak.

Is it somehow like "expanding your consciousness"? Like expanding the radius of your conscious perception and focusing in different places in that area It is the practice of exiting out of your body using techniques that externalize your point of perception. 'expanding your consciousness' is a very conceptual, 'big picture' kind of description. I am talking about specific techniques.
