important thing is that the position is comfortable and does not require a conscious effort to maintain,
but is not conducive to sleep. The usually suggested position of flat on your back has this drawback.
Close your eyes.

. Perform the Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram from the seated position by visualizing your
own figure moving around the room. Formulate yourself in your mind's eye standing up in robes and
holding a dagger. Project your consciousness into this form, open its eyes, and try to see through them.
In the form go to the East. Make yourself 'feel' there by looking around, touching the wall, shifting
your feet and so on. Begin the Ritual and go round the room in the form, vibrating the words mentally
and trying to feel them coming from the figure. Return to the East, and before finishing look around
you from the point of the view of the figure. Return to your body, and, standing behind the head, let
yourself be re-absorbed into it. This way the mental projection with which you should already be
familiar from skrying is used as a preliminary to astral projection.

. Perform the Middle Pillar exercise (for which see Appendix III).
. Visualize the Vayu Tattwa, a ball of blue brilliance about four inches in diameter and position it at
the throat.

. Vibrate the Godname attributed to Daat, YHVH Elohim (Yeh-ho-wah El-o-heem).
. Focus your attention on the nape of your neck, continuing the Vayu visualisation. At this stage you
should observe the first signs of projection, which are:
a. A feeling of imbalance, a feeling that you are tilting in one direction. The natural reaction is to
counteract this by leaning in the opposite direction. It is then that it becomes apparent that the original
tilt was the astral body commencing to move out of alignment with the physical body,
b. A wave vibration up and down the body which gradually gets faster and more regular. This can also
manifest as a jarring and shuddering as if you are in some way coming loose.
c. A dull aching sensation in the whole of the neck, particularly around the larynx (Adam's apple). (8)
This third result however is less common than the previous two. These signs have to be fought, not
concentrated upon, otherwise you associate your physical and your astral bodies too soon in the
process. Also surprise or interest tend to pull you back to your physical body in much the same way.
Continue concentrating around the region of the atlas, the spinal vertebrae on which the head rests,
trying to regularise the vibration and detach yourself from the physical body first at this point.

. When projection occurs remain within the immediate vicinity of the body for the first couple of
experiments getting used to your new 'body' before moving further afield.

[8] It is interesting to note that Daat has Vayu (Air) ascribed to it, and is located in the body around
the voice box.
