Immediately after waking from sleep, remain motionless, eyes closed. For three to five seconds, recall the sensations that accompanied a previous phase experience. (This only works if the practitioner has achieved phase entrance in the past.) Either nothing will happen and a different technique should be used or these sensations will be recalled and separating from the body may be tried - if it doesn't occur spontaneously. Vibrations or noise may also arise during this technique, in which case listening in or straining the brain may be practiced.

Breathing Concentration

Immediately after waking from sleep, remain motionless, eyes closed. For three to five seconds, focus on breathing; the rise and fall of the rib cage, the inflation and deflation of the lungs, the intake and escape of air. If no results occur, a different technique should be used. If vibrations, noise, or spontaneous separation occur, the practice of this technique should be intensified and used to its full advantage.
