Summary: As Title Says...."For Beginners"...
Review: I became interested in AP/OBE's awhile ago but just could not find any certain technique on the internet or on my own that worked with much success. I ran across this at a local bookstore, it was the only related book they had, so I decided to buy it. It brings up great points, but for me as a semi-experienced AP'er it was all reiteration of what is common sense in the OBE world. An excellent book for beginners, but if you are looking for advanced techniques or specific explanations, look elsewhere.

Summary: A little useful information...
Review: My problem with this book is that the author seems to confuse true astral projection with daydreaming and other things. There will be no doubt in your mind when you project as to whether it is real or not, because it will feel just as real as being awake on the physical plane - there's no mistaking it. But the book does have useful information in it, and some good techniques. It also contains a lot of information on overcoming fears, which is a very important step in projection. I recommend that if you're going to get this book, you should have some background in what is and what isn't projection, so you don't get confused when reading it.

Summary: A great book for beginners
Review: One of the interesting things I found in this book is that some of the things she mentinoned I've personally experienced over 10 years ago when I was trying earnestly to have an OBE. She mentions the "will-less will" idea from Alistair Crowley, which I discovered myself long ago. Believe me, it is a KEY to astral projection. Basically, when I tried very hard to have an OBE, I would NOT have one. When I declared I was going to have one, and didn't work hard at it, I came extremely close to having one. As she said, it's a very difficult skill to master, and is like a mental-balancing act. She mentioned a loud vibrational, humming sound. Once I reached the hypnogogic state and thought "I'm asleep now," I immediately heard a loud humming in both ears followed by a pop, and then felt a "bobbing" sensation, which the author also mentions in this book. There are two difficult "keys" to astral projection:
1. the "will-less will" concept (Alistair Crowley)
2. the focus on letting body sleep and keeping the mind awake The way I approached astral projection was to keep repeating "I will let my body sleep, but keep my mind awake," as I sat at my chair for a nap. It's EXTREMELY difficult to not simply drift into sleep, but as long as you keep repeating your intent, you will eventually hit bullseye. That's when you'll probably hear a lound humming in both ears followed by a pop, and feel a "bouncing" sensation. Unfortunately, my fear held me inside my body and I only achieved a lucid dream instead, which was still fascinating. Edain McCoy goes into depth about common fears about astral projection, and why they are baseless. For this alone, it is worth the price of the book. A couple of down-sides to this book; she does go into some "controversial" techniques, which was to equate day-dreaming to astral projection. She doesn't mention much about psychic protection in this book. The book "Astral Travel" by Yvonne and Gavin Frost do give more advice into that. I also recommend people read "Heaven and Earth: Making the Psychic Connection" by James Van Praagh. His book will give you the understanding of the psychic world, and thereby prepare you for your astral voyages. Also read "Astral Dynamics" by Robert Bruce, the bible of astral projection. Overall, this book is great for beginners, but you'll have to read others to get a complete picture.

Summary: Not much for techniques
Review: This book is ok. Most of it is filled with what you can do with OBEs. Its more of an introduction and experiences of others. Not much techniques. Every person is unique and what works for one doesn't work for all. The experiences in the book are quite common for those who are able to have an easy OBE. If you want to have an OBE I would recommend Astral Dynamics by Robert Bruce. Not only would you know the neccessary information and experiences, but the technique works. After reading it for about a month, I was able to Astral Project. You only need one book... a good one, since most information are redundant.

Summary: too much vague and impractical
Review: this book is theorical and apart from the good recommendations like inciense,candles etc. this book is lack of good exercises.in conclusion I dont think that you after reading this book,can make any astral projection.
I dont reccommend this book !!!
try better "out of body experiences" from robert peterson
this book has plenty of good exercises and the author writes in a very simple language.

Summary: Rewriting it again
Review: This book is very good for those who dont have any knowledge of astral travel.It is good for beginners, as it certainly gives direction as to how to proceed.In the beginning I didnt get any result ,but I know if you are sincere one does get the results.I would also recommend books by Robert bruce and william buhlam if you are serious about astral projection.

Summary: best one
Review: this is the first and best book i have ever read. it's a great detailed book on what astral projection is. it's not a bunch of stories. it's great detailed information. you could always look up astral projection on the world wide web for more information but i find books are better because you could hold them in your hands and not have to look at a computer. this is a great book to start out with.
