Something I've noticed very strongly in the many years I have been practicing is that if my practice focuses soley on the intention to OBE, then the frequency of successful OBEs is actually quite low.
But in periods of my life where I have a steady daily meditation and/or energy work routine with no concrete intention to OBE, then the frequency of OBE occurances can be staggeringly high. Has anyone else noticed this? I assume this might be due to the frequency of experiencing focused altered states (meditation), which could affect other forms of altered consciousness (sleep), ie making one more focused and aware on the forders of sleep, and so more likely to stay aware below this level and experience OBE symptoms.
